good luck this season and beyond :) hopefully we see you in open before too long!

Are there some jump maps you feel comfortable completing, and have for a while (with stock RL)?

If so, try going through those. Try completing each jump a few times each with stock and with original, to understand the differences between jumping with them.

#4 and #5 are pretty much what you need to know. As an example, if you're doing a wall jump where you're moving forward along a wall, no matter what rocket launcher you're using, you generally need the rocket to explode slightly behind and below you. (Assuming you're using right-handed viewmodels) Along a wall to your right, you will have to rotate more using original than stock, in order to achieve that. Along the left, you will have to rotate less with original than with stock to achieve that explosion placement.

Just practice, play jump maps with the original, you'll get the hang of it. It will eventually become second nature just like jumping with the stock RL.

Competitive TF2 leagues will live long after any semblance of esports dies in TF2.

Competitive TF2 pugs will live long after formal TF2 leagues die out.

As long as I want to play the game, it'll still be here for me in some form. I'm cool with that :)

Yeah geel u happened to pick one of the people who actually does give lots of map feedback lol.

for the record i've enjoyed cardinal when I've played it in the past, but I haven't much. Hopefully I get to play a bit this season :D

Bump

I'm going to be travelling for the three weeks of June 11th, 18th, and 25th. Getting back July 1st or so. I won't be able to play during that time, so...

We're looking for a dedicated roamer sub who will be playing all scrims, plus the 6 matches with the team during that time! You'll also probably play some more scrims and maybe matches besides those three weeks throughout the season, potentially not on roamer.

hmu please!

very friendly and nice :D

so the BUFF CANADIANS have been ready to start our demo review for 15 minutes and michael (who has been in mumble the whole time) has still not unzipped the demo file.

I just finished college as a comp sci / math student, hopefully this is helpful :)

For convenience in college, make sure the laptop you get has an SSD. I really can't emphasize this enough. I made the mistake of getting a laptop without an SSD and it was a huge pain- it simply took too long to start up and do basic tasks.

Also, depending on your lecture halls and classrooms, access to plugs to charge your laptop in class could vary. Try to get a laptop with good battery life. A lot of gaming-focused laptops don't really excel here and mine certainly didn't.

Idk your school, but there's a solid chance this won't be the case. You can probably find out, but it's likely using either Linux or mac will be simpler for comp sci. That said, getting a windows laptop wouldn't really be an issue, you can have a linux partition or a VM or whatever you choose to use.

This. Good luck in all your classes and everything. Have fun!

Gotta say, Sideshow's been absolutely killing it as an OWL analyst. He's definitely the most insightful of the group and has great camera presence. Really great to see :)

vulcan is definitely ready for esea. Try out for them! Good luck this season :)

really mature, good all round player and a cool guy! Don't be put off by the spotty experience, he's been playing 6s for a long time. Try him out :)

also thank you pyxelize

beginner would be miserable, there's too big a difference between players who have played a few seasons of competitive and are mid open or so, and those who are just getting into competitive for the first time
