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

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.
Cardinal was another beast
Brimstonewe'll see you in 2025 when it's doa.
half jokes aside this isnt day 1 by far, and also how close to the mark is the idea that this announcement was a "o shit u guys see that tf2c thread we gotta grab the market share first make a post ASAP"
Day 1 as in Day 1 of the RGL Advent Calendar (announced before the TF2C thread)
