I think maps should have at least 2 hammer units of water covering most floors so soldiers can have more fun bombing.

SCOUT IN WATER

I think once a week, instead of demo reviewing TF2, b4nny show get Froyo together and play party games on stream as a team-building exercise.

One of the most exciting lans to watch in recent memory.

Also, I haven't tuned in to many streams lately and I don't know if the logo is old, but whoever made that animation of the TF2 logo breaking into logs is great.

But the ruleset benefited EU the most.

i hope the players i've never heard of beat everybody.

The casual side of video games calls competitive players sweaty, toxic try-hards and insist they ruin every game. The competitive side of video game calls casuals low-skilled whiners who need to get good or quit the game. I can't think of a game whose casual and competitive side co-exist. Even for small communities where you could reasonably know all the regulars names like Left4Dead, it's still an awful battle of "us vs. them". Why would TF2 be different?

If only there were tools to make it easier to protect your privacy or block these people out.

I'm so confused by what this means. Like, they'll ban anyone who tries to start a playoff boycott? What if multiple people join in, do they all get banned? What if a bunch of people already agreed privately and then someone makes a thread announcing there are ten teams participating, does only the OP of that thread get banned? I mean, the whole point of a boycott is to be disruptive, so how do you enforce a ban on purposeful disruptive techniques?

Heartbreaking that the stream audio was delayed so that moment wasn't properly captured.

The unfortunate reality is that someone with severe mental issues will only get worse with constant access to the internet, so building a support network via internet friendships will basically guarantee the person never gets better. The entire TF2 community can decide to not react to her overnight, and she will find refuge in another community (maybe another video game, a hobbyist discord, a message board) where the entire process repeats itself.

If you think that isn't true and they can surely get better if they just have a couple of good friends to DM, then I wonder if you think the best course of action for an addict is to learn moderation instead of practicing sobriety. As long as someone with issues who has access to the internet where she can obsessively check old posts about her that upset her, have parasocial relationships with top invite players to feel valued, and interact with any troll or bully that comes their way, it's only going to get worse. A TFTV thread dedicated to a single person is way more harmful than helpful even if the intention is to spread awareness. Now RoL has something she can obsessively refresh and get mad at for the next few days.

What did the half-time used to be when there was a second-half config? It's been awhile since I've played in a 6's league (and even then, only played in lower divs) and I remember the half-time wait lasting around 10 to 20 min depending on the team. I'm trying to look up old configs and getting mixed results of 5min to 15min limits during a half-time break.

Physical sports are allowed multiple time-outs, but they vary from time limits depending on the sport (as short as 30 seconds to as long as two minutes). I feel like a single time-out would just not be enough for any competitive team environment. Would a better solution be multiple tac pauses are allowed, but they can only be around two minutes? Is that enough time for higher level play to discuss strategy at the start of a new round? I thought that the way tac pauses were supposed to work is that you were allowed a maximum amount of time total to use them and once you exceeded 5 minutes, you could no longer pause. I have no idea if they changed this for grand finals to "# of tac pauses" instead of "# of min total used for tac pauses".

I think there were also a few technical tac pauses that happened, so it did compound.

"I'm going to omit the player's name in a file named 'The Reno'".

huh???

Why do the stockings keep giving me puke and mud colors.
