99% sure it wasn't seeing as the only other person anyone has mentioned getting VAC'd for it was moose himself saying an unnamed leader of an unnamed community was VAC'd a week earlier.

Actually let Killing into the call this time as well

Let's see if they delete it.

Even amongst closely matched teams gpit can be a fucking headache. Pardon the anecdotal evidence, but in season 9 spacemoney got crushed on gpit by pinball wizards and then literally after that match ended had to play viper on it and won 2-1. I'd drag up clockwork's post about gpit being designed for 12v12 and at a fundamental level being bad for 6s in a competitive format but I think it's already well understood that gpit is a radical change from the rest of the season's maps and for no very particularly strong reason. It's a map where you can stonewall a team on B for 10 minutes one round, and then the next get your med picked by an opening bomb and lose in under 3 minutes the next. For as much as people defend heavy on last as being "necessary for teams that wipe at mid", I'm amazed that gpit gets so much defense when it is essentially "they made a pick, round over"

Let's be honest, mad men won im grand finals in under 20 minutes. I doubt they're particularly bitter about gpit week, and even if they are it's probably pretty fucking reasonable because losing on that map when you literally crush every other team in the league on any 5cp is indicative of something being seriously wrong

I don't think putting "upset map example #1" as the play-off decider is a good idea or fun for anyone. I don't see how having an upset map in the rotation is good at all honestly, gpit has been voted out before and it has clearly over stayed its welcome. TF2 spectator growth as an argument for keeping it in is beyond ridiculous as I'm fairly certain stream viewership does not rest solely upon map rotation in nearly any way.

I've also never been one to think "variety" is a good reason for multiple game modes being poorly executed in a map list either.

I do what I can

If defiance and raheem were admins this clown would have been banned 4 pages ago.

Here's the counter-point: expecting him to have actually been banned for openplugin is gullible at least and ignorant at most. There is no cascade of other players posting that they have recently been VACd as well for the plugin and given its prevalence in europe it is improbable that moose is the sole person being banned by VAC as some sort of bellwether to the TF2 community that the plugin won't be tolerated. It is fact that it is much more likely that he used one of the many hacks that are now being banned in droves by VAC as several people in this thread have already pointed out. VAC is an automated system and moose is not even a high profile player by any means, just because you look up to him in UGC gold from your UGC gutter trash division does not actually mean he's good at this game or actually high profile. Just because "he's an admin, he wouldn't do that" and other appeals to authority make sense in your chromosome flooded bog that some might refer to as a mind does not mean that isn't actually a logical fallacy nonetheless.

If you want to continue believing his paper thin excuse in the face of what is objective reality, you're welcome to do so. However, do not continue acting like there is any logical validity to it or that you are anything other than gullible.

I know you're fucking retarded because you're a heavy main in UGC, but could you not unironically use XD here because it makes my eyes bleed.

I just went to that shit-hole forum to see an argument about Reaganomics and yet couldn't find anything even related (let alone a thread dedicated) to one of the admins suddenly coming up with a VAC ban. How much kool-aid do you have to drink before you go blind?

and yet somehow we're accused of being a circlejerk

We need a few more articles like this

possible examples: carnage vs. higher education, relic vs. great clips, ggglygy vs. cb, enigma vs. airborne contagions, adam reptile dopko vs. anything not on the ground, fragga vs. stickies, pure vs. the flank, fragile vs. cod4, blackymonster vs. his connection, yaug vs. women and minorities, notor vs. his sexuality, shade vs. aaron, sherr vs. a slow but sure descent into alcoholism, wo0t vs. the best demomen, dummy vs. the badlands roll-out, TLR vs. Kalkin, smaka vs. everyone in pugs, oplaid vs. disqualifications, flame vs. esea lan, EG vs. the playoffs, looking threads vs. alt accounts, neorussia vs. the recruiting section, glue vs. the uber, runtime vs. autism, papasmurf vs. maps that aren't badlands

The president is black

The demo is black

Coincidence????

But we've known since season 5 that gpit is for dm junkies?
