2/10 not even the kind of dab that makes sense in this context

The $350/hr pricing you're looking at is for like extravagant l33t gamer birthday parties and shit. "Want to run an e-sports event? Contact us now" and "Custom packages available. Contact us for more information" both seem to indicate that we could negotiate something considerably more reasonable from them, especially if we'd only be using the space 8-10 hours a day for 3 days.

if anyone wanted to set it up in philadelphia proper, there's a small-ish (40 house computers, 100 max capacity not including spectators) LAN venue in NoLibs called LocalHost http://localhostphilly.com/ that has pretty amenable pricing and a fairly open schedule for events. They currently host a local organization pretty frequently for CSGO, Starcraft, and OW tourneys http://n3rdstreetgamers.com/

I live in west philly and work by city hall, and I used to work as a booking agent and sound guy at a venue so I'd be down to lend a hand if anyone wanted to set something up on the smaller side within city limits.

I don't even mind them being locked in MM that much either, but that the locked cvars stay locked after leaving MM until you restart TF2 is incredibly annoying. It's just poor coding that you're still locked at 54 viewmodel_fov and r_drawviewmodel 1 in pubs and scrims until you restart.

As for a novel solution, maybe wireframe/vertex viewmodels (i.e. no textures)? So that way they still line up with the crosshair, retain the recognizable shape of the gun (and is obvious if weapon is switched), but still doesn't block the screen.

decompiling and make custom builds are forbidden but that's also how 80% of recent fixes were discovered (via sigsegv and his private build)

edit: oh shit I didn't read any of the posts above me and this came across really rude and targeting the wrong people, my bad :x

aww fuck I was actually going to attend my first LAN this year.

If other venues/events are being examined around the philly area, maybe Bucks County/Montgomery County/Delaware County or the Wilmington, DE area are worth examining. They're all <30 minutes' drive from Phila and would cost a fraction as much as something within the city proper.

I know some people who rent warehouse space in philly but while it's large enough for a bunch of nerds, I don't think any of them have the kind of power/internet equipment necessary for a LAN.

Having a coach in TF2 is in almost all senses exactly like having a seventh player on your team who is in the respawn queue the whole game. It's like having a bonus Sideshow attached to your normal six.

if this is now the "unsolicited suggestions to Valve" thread, how about making it so a locally saved jump-map is opened when you're queued up so you can have something to do while waiting but still jump out of it at any time with no consequence?

But even $5000 of valve money is enough to get mentioned on Kokatu or whatever bullshit gamer media site people use. It's about authenticity, not just the number after the dollar sign.

can flags say what country they are when you mouseover them? I'm an ignorant american and can only recognize like 70 countries

6 NA players vs 6 Australians on a Chilean server is what Valve intended.

there's a huge number of children who don't understanding the risks of gambling and do it anyway. look at scrap.tf/raffles on any given day and there's a kid whining that he lost a key or a hat or something to sweepstakes or the bp.tf lotto. I don't think adults should make their income preying off the ignorance of children.

valve makes $2 million a day in revenues off this game last I heard. if they put even a $5,000 prize pool up for a tourney it would be ground-shaking for us little people.
