Why Coalplant? Why not ᵇᵃᵍᵉˡ

I had the same problem and it was caused by the VTF crosshairs scripts, which disable the tracers by default if Im not mistaken. For example I checked tf_weapon_scattergun, it looked like this

"TracerEffect" ""

But it has to look like this for you to see tracers

"TracerEffect" "bullet_scattergun_tracer01"

He is the real MVP

Who organizes TFTV and casted matches now that he is gone (for now)?

Atleast for TF2 I'm pretty sure DX8 is known for reducing performance. I have been running the game on DX8 for quite some time on the shittiest toaster and after switching to DX9 with some config tweaking I had a fps increase of like around 15-20.I know you said you lose frames when lowering settings, but deleting Steam browser cookies might or might not give you more frames aswell.

I'm pretty sure you can't use it in a competitive match yet. Also it is shite apart from being able to shoot through smokes without tracers

I agree with you on when harassment starts, but you sadly still imply that the video is meant to criticize b4nny, when it is not. It is what you would categorize under "Stalking behavior" and "comment with mailicious intent". You don't release a video like that if you intend to criticize someone, it is not constructive, nothing, it is simply clips cut together, all b4nny clips in less favorable situations to show people "See this guy you like? He is a fucking asshole". Also remember the context, they had fat beef during that time and you surely don't criticize in a constructive manner when you are angry at someone else. Don't fool yourselves, I could take a rapper dissing another rapper and reduce that to "It's actually just criticism, chill bro"

B4nny video aside, what about the Credu situation? How is that any different other than that racism was applied indirectly instead of directly? Do you think apologizing just solves this problem? Saying "Sorry, we already have taken action and removed him from the roster, please dont punish us" makes this all okay? They obviously had no power over Credu, just like the punished team had no power over Pred, so do you think it is fair that one team gets off scot free while the other doesn't? How come Pred's entire team is punished, but all of Se7en might be left unpunished?
Do you think a bank robber should receive a perhaps lighter punishment just because he apologizes for it or has a good reputation within his community?

I guess it only starts when the victim is liked by the majority of the community or can you explain further? So why exactly is this video okay? It is certainly not criticizing b4nny the way it is structured and named.

The threat of having prize money removed and players banned is the only reason this has been addressed by kaidus in the first place. If he actually means it, and it's not just damage control, he would follow up and apply the prize deduction to his team voluntarily. Se7en has pretty much done the exact same thing, so why exactly do they deserve to not receive the same punishment in terms of bans and deductions? Because they apologized for it?

So it's okay to make an entire video out of it? One in which they carefully cut together parts in an effort to ridicule him and make him look bad in front of the entire community? That is somehow not harassment, trying to make a big group of people hate one single individual purposefully? Isn't that essentially the same thing with the "bug" situation? Why is the video okay but the "meme" isn't, if both happen to ridicule the target? Also keep in mind that the video was posted on the official se7en channel, so how again is this professional?

You are going through some serious mental gymnastics if you really think harassment only starts with racism.
Also apparently you didn't read the full statement, because I quoted Kaidus at the end and I'll do it again just for you.

" I see no reason why there should be any need for further action against us or any other team."

Just because he stated earlier that they would accept punishment, doesn't mean they think they should be getting one.

Stop the damage control.

Your team uploaded a video about b4nny on your official youtube channel with the sole purpose to hurt his reputation and make him look bad. This is okay though? You playing victims and farming sympathy points despite the fact that you did the exact same thing to b4nny? I know he is controversial and I'm not a huge fan of him myself, but still you publishing this wall of text on how it has happened to you, how it has been a problem for years, how you actively tried to not be part of it, even though you were ALWAYS a part of it? And again, you try to make someone else look bad again by redirecting hate towards them in your statement. There was NEVER any need to mention nunya/bin in your post, but I guess it is fun to see some more heads roll.

You are the very epitome of what is wrong with this community and this discussion. All this talk about professionalism and being a role model. You already harassed someone else on a LARGE scale (almost 14.000 people have seen the b4nny video), but someone else has done it to you and they are the devil now and are the fault for this game dying and more and more people walking away from it? I'm pretty sure people on your team participated in this thread and on the Degu & Pred hate, but you refuse to take responsibility for your teams actions? You all have done it at some point, but saying "but young, competitively-minded people are very easily sucked into the atmosphere that surrounds them" makes it all okay? Why is it not okay that Pred & Degu have done it? Because the victim was Uberchain? Do you think it is fair that there is a prize money deduction, but at the same time think that your team doesn't deserve punishment for the Credu thing, which is essentially the exact same situation?

" I see no reason why there should be any need for further action against us or any other team."

This is a big joke and you know it.

It doesn't matter. You don't impulsively call somebody a gook or nig*** if you don't mean to use it as an insult.

Maybe explaining that this behavior will not be tolerated anymore in the future, without suddenly swinging the banhammer at people and punishing those who were in the same team out of nowhere? Again, that is my point. This happened numerous times before and resulted in ignorance or a warning for flaming in ETF2L. So you are telling me that, out of nowhere, people are being handed a 2 month ban for posting a picture on a different website, but people who harass others in the competition just get away with only a meaningless minor warning? This way of dealing with harassment could have been adapted way earlier, but it wasn't, because obviously nobody cared enough, but suddenly it is this huge fucking deal, so huge that they take special action, because Uberchain was the one being harassed?

You are now also comparing a forum ban to a 50% deduction plus a 2-month and 12-month ban. Still, I highly doubt that ETF2L will do the same for the average player. Can I hope for the same kind of punishment for another player harassing me on a different website or will I be swept under the rug because I'm just one of a few thousands?

This happened numerous times on TFTV, Twitter and even their own website. I don't see why I should name these situations. My point is that people did not care previously. You imply that ETF2L punished these kind of people before, but consider that a minor warning for flaming isn't the same as a deduction in prize money plus a 2-month and a 12-month ban. The site treated this kind of harassment pretty lightly, but I don't see why only now it's justified that they get excluded from the competition and a 50% prize deduction because it happened to Uberchain instead of Mr. Dude123. This decision is HIGHLY biased and the punishments are only this heavy because it is a well known person.

Please, people only starting to care now that Uberchain has been a victim only confirms that people didn't give a shit about this matter in the first place

What a fucking joke

I'm not hating on Uberchain here, even though people lacking basic reading skills will surely think I am, however it's retarded that ETF2L and especially this community have ignored similar situations in the past and only now reacted to it because it is Uberchain. People talking about this never being acceptable under any circumstance are the same people that wouldn't have given a fuck if Pred and Degu would've harassed personXYZ instead, even if personXYZ would call them out for it publicly. This community surely isn't going to be better if people only care about a select few instead of everyone. Again, what a joke.

Yeah really wanna see you make the jump from bridge to bats. If you fall off spire you are done for and your team lost
