At what point do you say enough is enough then? ESEA literally damaged people's computers by including malware with their client. Maybe CEVO is not at the same standard as ESEA is right in terms of what they can provide for TF2, but at least they're showing that they're willing to listen to the community and work on getting it right.
And yes at the end of the day, there will be people like lpkane everywhere, but that doesn't mean that indulging him is necessarily the right idea.

aka the I'm a shitty person tactic

Once the week schedules are out there's nothing to stop you from scheduling two matches a week. ETF2L just tells you who you have to play against.

Isn't IGL dead?

I'm biased, but I think a NA ETF2L division would be the best. Having everyone on the same page with match rules and unlocks would also theoretically make international showmatches and LANs more exciting as NA teams wouldn't need to adjust to a new ruleset.

GOOD LUCK FENNEKS!

HYPE
wwcf for the surprise upset! Epsilon for the unsurprising win!

Good luck LEGO!

Some thoughts: when creating a lobby, would be nice to be able to manually set server password. TF2center did not correctly set server password, had to manually set it myself anyway. This meant no-one got in automatically and a sub for everyone was requested.
Mumble connect did not work for approx. half the people in my lobby.
Also, if all slots for a class are filled and the main page doesn't update, people attempting to join by clicking the class icon get redirected to the home page.

Otherwise, nice interface, very fast and clean. Could be better than TF2lobby in the future.

You know, some people get their first exposure to competitive TF2 and especially 6s through tf2lobby. Experienced players coming into a lobby and hacking just sends out the message that players in lobbies aren't worth being taken seriously. It's disrespectful and frankly I have no idea how you can justify anyone cheating anywhere - even if it's "just" a pub server, the people playing there should be allowed to play without some douchebag coming along with triggerbot and ruining their experience.

Trust me, it was really obvious that he was hacking in the lobby.

EDIT: And yeah, it was just a lobby and everyone else there blew it off, but it was a pretty fucking disrespectful move to shit on community players like that.

I hosted the second lobby. Manifold was pretty obviously either the best sniper/scout the world has ever seen or hacking, that's why the player on his team renamed himself to hacker.

easy please
your original point was fine, the more boring rollout is probably faster.
Every time you respond to someone though you just give them more chances to attack you..

Last thing I got was an email on the 22nd of July. I donated because I wanted to see an American team at i49, and the weapon signing would be a nice memento of that. I don't really care that much about getting anything signed at this point but it would be good if someone had just come out and acknowledged that shit wasn't happening.

EDIT: Mana and Tagg both added me, so thanks to both of them for that - i49 was a great experience overall and hopefully this is something to learn from for next time.

Good luck fenneks!
