Valve will never support competitive TF2. Aside from the fact that there are two comp scenes (highlander, 6's) which require their own separate events, it would also require Valve to acknowledge that some people don't enjoy the 12v12, 300+ weapons, no class limits, random crits and random spread format they spent years tweaking to perfection.

Would there even be enough girl players to fill up two teams that could face each other, play their main, and the skill disparity wouldn't be drastic across all the teammates?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that a good chunk of competitive TF2 players do it out of interest and passion and that for them, playing 6's IS a big part of their social life. Not to mention a lot of the non-Invite players are between the ages of teens to mid-20's, where these people would be playing video games with friends to have fun for seven hours a day regardless if it was competitive. I can only assume it's why there are Main and IM teams out there who will scrim five days a week for the chance of winning $30.

I don't see a reason why TF2 players can't play on the weekends aside from the fact that Sat + Sun is usually when Highlander teams scrim, and 6's + HL players have made an invisible pact to not try to overlap each other as much as they can so a player is able to play on two teams.

I remember seeing this video a year or so after it was uploaded and only realizing much later after I discovered comp TF2 this was all footage from 6's games. Back when it was so experimental, they tried throwing Goldrush and Turbine in the rosters.

Valve is hosting God knows how many servers so that bots can flood it and then leave it repeatedly. They see this issue and figure it's okay to take years to find a solution. The bots have only gotten worse as time goes, I'm now hitting consistent points where 100% of the server is just bots.

I solve this puzzle fives time a day now because Mustard keeps beating my time. I play it more than TF2.

Am I supposed to make a jigsaw account, and why can't I see your name as #1.

Add me, I have a friend who plays all types of fighting games, is always trying to get more people into fighting games, and periodically hangs out in a Discord with other fighting game players. He mostly plays SF2, 3rd Strike, and Samurai Showdown but he'll play other games if people ask him like Virtua Fighter, Strive, and Fantasy Strike.

He refuses to post in this thread so I'm doing it on his behalf.

If I were in charge, people's alias would be their real first AND last name.

LECUMMMMMMMMMMMMM

You posted evidence of someone getting caught on stream showing that streaming to catch people is semi-effective.

Eli submits hundreds of demos, he streams with a three-way split between his game capture, a webcam capture of his monitor, and a capture of his keyboard inputs and then ends the streams by slowly scrolling over the list of all programs executed while he was playing TF2.

The storekeeper has emptied his pockets and stripped him naked with no evidence of shoplifting but is still calling him a thief. I'm not sure how much more evidence he has to submit to make RGL mods happy.
