He has no trust in you because of your past record. The head admin at the time is backing up his perception, it would be harder to imagine a stronger witness. This isn't an ad hominem attack, it's a genuine concern. It's also not slanderous if it's true.

Serveme had to be used last time because someone let tsc near the game servers, it should be all on lan servers and always has been historically.

There's also no real distinction between the open and invite tournament in terms of prize, they're the same event. Teams from the open bracket qualify to the knockout rounds, the invite group basically have a bye into the knockout rounds and compete for seeding initially. Obviously if for some reason there's no TF2 tournament then this distinction won't matter, but there was technically a prize for the open section last time, it's all the same competition.

Working on it, good chance it'll happen

FFS does Slin have to take credit for everything I do?

teamworktf your work has already been noted and action is being taken to reshape competitive into a more representative form

Brilliant, thank you very much.

Be careful or you might summon extine

7 only lost 1 game all season against champ.gg, but they were playing Stark on medic. Arctic Foxes took Elo off them a couple of times but only by getting draws

Changes have to stop moving in a defensive direction. Air stickies are worse so demomen are worse going forward. There are more healing and defensive options because we've unbanned the unlocks. These incremental changes all add up, large or bizarre changes aren't needed.

Weapons need to be made better in attacking situations to encourage and reward players for getting into attacking situations.

Maps could do with making entry into points easier so ubers don't get popped so early for the attackers and low risk holds on points could be made riskier.

Methods of disrupting the uber cycle could be made easier as uber asymmetry helps aggression.

Make Kritz viable.

5cp isn't broken, it's like Soccer was 30 years ago before changes were made to encourage more attacking play.

He is compiling a secret report on competitive TF2 focusing on the shadowy cabal of evildoers in tftv that he intends to submit to Valve when complete

I didn't make that up. He won't be turning up to your events by the way, he just irrationally hates everybody that you hope will (except Mr Vincent)

A terrifying suggestion: limit unlocks, not classes, including stock

It's not skill level that produces turtling, it's the preponderance of defensive classes that slow the game down and circumstances arising in which it can be in both team's interests to not fight, a minor example is the leading team defending last, trailing team holding outside building uber, or the really horrific case of the leading team holding outside last to burn the round timer to near zero before pushing and the defending team not wanting to push out because losing the round is worse than losing the time.

In PL or AD it's a constant last push, but at least the attackers never want to game a round timer.

The antidote is koth, where pushing is forced by the timer and players still get the excitement of switching rapidly between attacking and defending, but the number of good koth maps is small.

Also getting crashes with windows servers. Would greatly appreciate an updated dll as well

Recently much improved after some personnel changes wouldn't you say?

Working through the Elo probabilities gives these winning chances:

7 - 60%
Nerdrage - 21%
Arctic Foxes - 14%
Lowpander - 5%

If memory serves: Season 10. Mike and Greg flanking through Badlands house in the final coming back from 3-0 down, Dunc nicking as Buttercunt, Randa's Badlands middle sticky traps, Quad on scout, Relic, TCM and Dignitas, Own3d.tv. The memories
