Sergeant_BrownWhen TF2 players sponsor other TF2 players, you really know the comp side has hit the bottom, LUL
In all seriousness though, props to Mr Dane for doing the dirty work of promoting 6s.
reasons you are wrong:
1.) ESEA brought IM back and has more teams than I believe ever, even in s15 when main was introduced they capped at 85 teams throughout all divs, While the current season has 111 teams
2.) ETF2L this season added 2 new divisions by splitting their high div into Div 1 and Div 2 and adding the fresh meat division below their previous lowest div open.
3.) There has more non-tf2 related sponsors coming into tf2 for at least a couple of seasons now. Examples being Fable, Twisted Sin, Faint, Velocity. of which Velocity is staying for this season sponsoring both invite and IM.
edit: not to discount the tf2 related sponsors such as ascent, svift, kings crew, TFCrew, omni5
