i feel like im missing an obvious legend or two but thats what i came up with (3/6 froyo sounds pretty good to me)
pretty much everything zilly said is true. it doesnt help that most of the canucks' current problems are a result of previous management's bad decisions (trading away eriksson who only had 1 year left on his deal, bringing in OEL and garland who both have bad contracts with lots of term). can't trade away our problems cuz other teams want to win and are also up against the salary cap, so why would they ever take our terrible players.
Coach Boudreau was essentially used as a scapegoat for the team's poor play in spite of these poor signings from old management and a failure to acknowledge the gaping hole in our defensive depth by current management. Canucks are now on their 3rd head coach in 14 months, and they are still paying both Bruce Boudreau and Travis Green. with this in mind, something tells me it's not Boudreau's fault (aka the guy that turned this 8-15-2 team into a 40-30-12 team by the end of last season).
if u want my insider information, i know someone who works the 50/50 draft during home games and they say that the owner, Francesco Aquilini, is one of the rudest people they have ever met and it is rumoured that he is trying to do everything in his power to win a stanley cup before his dad dies (he is very old). obviously a sad situation for him cuz his dad is dying or whatever but to treat ur employees (who are both actively involved with the on-ice product, and those who are involved with fan interaction) like dog shit and force management into these ballsy moves and signings is just not how you deal with that. #SellTheTeam ...
i have been repressing the urge to spam this thread with everything canucks related for the past 2 weeks but I think I’ll just let this funny video sit here since i think it summarizes everything quite nicely.

delete_my_accountspeaking of EvilDaedalus, have you guys seen his 2 part scout guide videos made back in 2008? he also made a pyro and spy guide as well.
this reminds me of pandapoops' guides to play soldier from 2009 and the frags blew my mind when first saw them in 2013

you know these videos are OLD when he says that gunboats arent a viable alternative to the shotgun
this team is in fyg's hands now. i will edit it for her if she chooses to keep making something. reach out to her on discord at fyjj#0666
wonderoflanother facet of europeon inferiority is the gameplay, if i only saw stalemates i would've never touched the competitive side, especially while its full of people who insist thats how the game should be played
while i think this remark is out of left field in regards to initiatives to draw in new players, it is definitely true. the fact that a top 2 team in europe can have full uber ad and a demo pick holding process last in LAN grand finals and still choose to continue stalemating on last, risking a round reset where you get wiped on mid and lose the round in one minute instead of pushing into 2nd is fucking embarrassing man. if it's not fun to watch how can you expect new players to think it will be fun to play?
JwI think trying to market to the "casual community" is basically useless because casual players as a whole will never be competitive-type players.
i think this is a non-issue because by marketing to the casual players only the ones who have an interest in 6s will try it out and if they dont like it then they wont keep playing it. ever since sigafoo stepped down it feels as though there has been a lot less of a forcing of the idea that NR 6s is the ideal way that 6s should be. new players will be playing in Newcomer and Amateur. if they are not "competitive-type players" they will never grow past that level, and thus wont have an impact on how the majority of players (IM, Main, Advanced, Invite) experience the game.
Marketing to casual players doesn't have to mean "omg come play 6s and build a sentry gun and teleporter on the enemy's 2nd point and also run full time banner soldier, a heavy and a sniper!" All marketing to casual players needs to be is "hey come try 6s! we have friendly experienced players who will help you learn how to play and hopefully you have fun!" I think current RGL administration understands this fact and will act appropriately.
At the end of the day, TF2 is supposed to be FUN. we play competitively for FUN. casual players play casually for FUN. and maybe casual players can play some low-level 6s for FUN as well. the more who play 6s (if even not necessarily to improve and try their absolute hardest), the better, imo.
