playoffs are top 16, top 8 get moved up to intermediate

interesting to see all of the stats valve actually tracks to your account, especially seeing stuff like soldier/demo and pyro/heavy war stats still saved long after both of those were over, especially so for the original WAR! that took place. I understand that valve basically have to disclose all the information they have to you, but I feel like seeing the players that submitted reports could backfire (i.e. player gets MM banned in tf2/overwatched in CSGO then that player harasses the few last players that reported him). Albeit I don't see this realistically happening often if at all, just potential there.

I got some real feels going through the duels and people helped, some people I haven't seen since my first season of HL back in the fall 2014 season, man I hate losing touch with cool players that moved on from TF2 :(

god bless

You, and for that matter people who give overgeneralized criticism overall, might want to specify what doorways, entrances and areas seem to large/claustrophobic and what doors you like and don't like. If people just give generalized criticisms without pointing out specifically what mapmakers need to change, they can't fix what you don't like.

PSA: If you ban a map and it goes through the veto and is the map scheduled for play, OPEN A SUPPORT TICKET (LINK HERE)

The veto system is still very new to ESEA as a whole and there are bound to be errors and bugs, so try to be patient with ESEA (as much as I know it's a joke to even ask that considering some experiences with them). As a team leader, open a ticket with the "League" type, link the match page, explain the error, and ask them to resolve the issue.

trip to pound

gg to name my team, was a fun match :D

2 socks and a hat B)

the vocab i've picked up in pugs alone ruins real life for me

yikes, cronge, neanderthalic, and neet are now go to phrases for me D:

Hi! If you haven't done so yet, I would recommend you play in newbie mixes as they're a great way to improve as a new player and link up with other new-to-competitive players whom you might look at picking up on a team. Also, usually it's a good idea to list out what your current roster looks like in a more neat manner so that people can more easily understand who they might be playing with and what classes you need. If you're looking to play in a league, ESEA just started so it's not possible to get a roster at this time, but TFCL and UGC are NA leagues that are still accepting new rosters, and free to play in to boot (admittedly, the majority of players here are ESEA/ETF2L so it will be hard to find players for those leagues on this forum).

Overall though happy to see new players jumping right in and making teams, good luck with your player search and hope to see you in open next season :D

All of these impure forum browsers... live by the example of our lord and savior CapnNoFapn...

to add to this, you need to plan ahead of time for ringer-subs. Once the server is up 15 minutes before start time, the match is considered live and no players can join the roster during a live match. Learned this the hard way a few seasons back :(
