I dont think an official announcement has been made yet, but they talked about it during one of the midnight madness events at RGB2 in march iirc

with the new site implementation i finally dont have to spend 5 hours converting steam3IDs into steamID64s for alias configs!

sidenote for those of you who cant read and didnt put steamID64s for the old tournaments: you ruined my life for 3-4 months

The only changes that have been made were the addition of placement match/elo system that CSGO currently utilizes, and unlocking sniper scope ratio. The rest of the forced settings (DX9, viewmodel_fov 70, r_drawviewmodel 1, etc) are still very annoyingly in place.

recently MasterComfig has become one of the most popular sources of fps config/scripts with its relative ease of use and setup.

ESEA has actually been doing okay the past 2 seasons. Last season we had no FFLs or team deaths in invite, as well as the return of a healthy intermediate team size and the largest open team pool in ESEA history, thanks to the removal of league fees from open (premium still needed). This season (which is currently in its second week) has seen a bit of a turnback as the prizepools are very poorly balanced among the divisions and encourage sandbagging, however there is still a healthy count of open and IM, and invite teams.

EssentialsTF has been running monthly tournaments with 1000$ prizepools in both EU and NA that have very underwhelming player draw due to long waits between matches and lack of a good tournament platform, which problems will be hopefully fixed in the changes to the june tournaments going onward.

RGB LAN 3 is scheduled for October so if you're looking for some lan action come join us!!

6 consoles trying to find a 7th so they can all Dodge scrims for a production/cast, all the while arguing about who gets to play soldier scout and demo since they're 'not medic mains' anymore. Inevitably we would all emo out of the team somewhere around week 6 and grind Clone Hero FCs until the season after where we would try and reform during the last few hour of registration.

please play with them, sanity is a really cool guy and im really glad i convinced him to enter his UGC team into newbie mixes. It would be a shame for him to have come this far only to have his team die week 2, play with them they're really fun!

His honesty is promising, but my past experiences in HL and interacting with him in ESEA were still pretty bad. Proceed with caution.

cool and fun gamers, play for them!

lack of advertising, probably. I haven't seen any promotion of TFCL off of teamfortress.tv

anime was a mistake...
go fygg!

happy to see a new game that I enjoy playing/watching popping into contention as another top esport. I don't see the game being as slow/stalematey as PUBG, even in top level play, as the map is quite small in comparison and there are some interesting options for fast movement in things like the jetpack and jump crystals. From what I saw during Esports Arena Vegas's production of Ninja 2018, It seems like camerawork has a lot of potential mid-late game (sub-50 players and from 2nd circle form on) though there will for sure be some action missed early on unless instant replay or PiP is utilized to show off missed fights or multiple at once. Casting's probably the bigger challenge, working with the producer feeds you get and deciding what to talk about being the biggest challenge.

Overall seems like the skill ceiling potential is definitely there and there are some good personalities and quality competitors already actively interested in playing in tournaments, so I'm interested to see how things go.

is it just tradition to downfrag getawhale into oblivion at this point? There's actually nothing wrong with this post in particular

this is the first I've heard of this utility and I'm really happy about it as well

have used this in conjunction with the steam controller, is actually pretty nice if i just wanna lay in my bed and play some games from my phone instead of sitting at my computer or television (I also have the steam link hardware). Depending on how it performs on your phone (works great for me, original Pixel XL on 5G 802.11 a/c) this has a ton more utility than the regular Steam Link, with its only practical use case being wanting to play pc games on your living room/bedroom television. Also really happy to see that Valve haven't introduced a paywall or restricted support to only the steam controller, gives lots of accessibility to the use of the app to the point where other than the use case I described above the regular steam link hardware becomes inferior (assuming your phone is capable of streaming the games and you have a 5G connection).

Does anyone here have the Razer phone, and if so, do they know if you're able to uplink 120fps from the steam link app? That would be an incredibly neat combo of hardware/software.
