I would accept their offer so hard and fast that whoever offered it would be reduced to a cloud of rapidly vapourising flesh

It takes a while to filter the elo points up the ladder and relies on teams playing outside their tier. I could have assumed that teams in lower divs have a lower rating as a start point but that's a bit artificial and I'm interested in seeing how well it will adjust over time.

What I'll probably do for next season when I change the list of teams to scan is that new teams in a division will get the average elo/trueskill of surviving teams in that tier as a starting point.

Oops, OP completed

From the same website that brought stressful performance judgements into your nice relaxing lobby, EU team pcw Elo has been revived! (with apologies to fraac)

You can regret going spy, engie and pyro to mid and losing your last game 3-2 here:

For those that don't remember the original EU team Elo, like the original I slurp up logs.tf entries and find games that match ETF2L rosters then award rating points based on the results. For added spice I've also provided an alternative Trueskill ranking.You can explore team and player details to see how they achieved their current ranking.

Yes it also finds officials, no I haven't given them more weight, no I'm not going to detect them - it's a nightmare.

The updates aren't instant, they lag real time results by about 15 minutes or so. Also because I'm starting this late log pickup hasn't been brilliant (rosters change a lot and I've been matching them from weeks ago) so it's still adjusting over time.

Grazie ragazzi

2 man lan has been lost to the great twitch vod deletion iirc. feelsbadman

Stark becoming enraged by Sideshow is basically the highlight of all gaming I've watched on Twitch. Please be quitting TF2 because you're forming a 2 man stream team based around how much rage Sideshow can induce

Pls come back. Mirelin seasons best seasons

Damage is a routinely overrated statistic, it's not particularly important. 7 play a very methodical style and as a result tend to have low DPM, and if we know anything about Stark it's that he hates players piling up useless damage including himself.

If you watch Marxist's 9 precepts of scout video (made easily available at training.tf :D) he explains some of the very basic differences in scout style, and you need to remember that b4nny generally plays the mama bear scout role which tends to rack up far better stats because it is a relatively low risk role, receives lots of healing and often is able to attack players that aren't attacking him back because they're trying to kill the medic or demo. It makes sense to be near his combo of course because b4nny calls for his team. He plays it at a very high level and doesn't stick to such a simple formula, but it's a general guide.

Stark plays a higher risk role in probably the most risky and isolated way possible. He plays in a desert of heals even for a flank scout and doesn't hog packs either, takes up atypical positions threatening backcaps, high value picks or disruption to respawners and disrupts the whole standard flow of the game if given the chance. He is frequently in positions where he is being hunted by multiple enemy players with no prospect of support, although he usually does try to make these moves in the wider context of the whole team. This is not bad play, it's the requirements of the role at a high level. That his stats are as good as they are is a matter of making fine judgements about where and when to take these big risks. It would be easy to get the balance wrong and simply feed the opposing team, but Stark has finely tuned gamesense in these matters and good enough DM to make most players pay a high price.

Trying to compare the two statistically is truly apples and oranges, and I have written hundreds of thousands of words on comparing players statistically. They are very different players playing very different roles.

Adding a writing round but I need the masterworks to set the baseline for excellence

Anybody still got these?

These quotes are a cover up - you're being fooled, this is what really happened

Really? It should be etf2l whitelist. I must have fucked the config

First you have to outbid Rupert Murdoch
