Speaking only from an open bracket pov the tournament at rewind was pretty fucking terrible. We waited 3 hours for 1 player who had several technical issues which included having to switch pcs and reinstall tf2 more than once. The monitors were an obvious issue and many of the tables were wobbly. Musical chairs was a major pain as well.

All that said I'm not sure how much of this applies to the invite bracket and also please keep doing esa because I can't go to Europe lol.

Josb and smirre both to pound.

Plus one to the things everyone else has been saying. Super nice, great calls, strong arrows and great surfs. Please don't let me quitting keep her from getting to play.

Was playing with my team before it died with im. Very strong dm decent calls and a good personality. Better on the flank in my opinion where she can flex her dm muscles without needing to worry about playing heals as tightly. Would have done well in im, will do well in new open.

Several months ago valve released an update that made tf2 impossible to open because the update contained a misnamed file. It could be fixed by changing 1 digit in 1 file name. That means valve wrote the update and pushed it without once actually opening the game on a test machine. After that I have zero confidence anyone at valve gives a single shit abut tf2.

First off, he might be a retard bot but he's my retard bot. Secondly, I call him "the law" sometimes and thirdly, he's playing im this season.

In broly's defense, he isn't the one that made a wwe style call out video about the best team in north america and then hade a zero frag pug.

Yes I know paddie is very good at this game and was throwing for some reason.

Yeah marketing is a pretty standard strategy used by companies that intend on making money.

Good input thanks for bumping the thread.

I don't even like ow that much but I plan on having a blast stomping "Christmas noobs" this weekend.

I'd agree the game modes are far and away the weakest part of the game. Blitz ball is sort of a mess imo, with a clean flag pull it's pretty much impossible to not score in pubs. Maybe more coordinated players would be able to defend but as it stands it is terrible in pubs. Overcharge is dumb because you can hold the ball for 90 percent of the game but if they hold it for the right ten percent they win. Zone control or whatever it's called is pretty good though, the different terrains of each capture point promote a varied team comp.

Long story short I've had a blast in both betas and am excited for the full release.

Closed beta 2 just happened over the weekend so I figured it was a good time to bump this thread. Did anyone else play? What are your thoughts on the changes they made? I think the assassin nerfs were good, she stills feels viable but isn't an instagib with her blades anymore. I do feel like as players get better she will get worse though. Gunslinger nerfs were too harsh imo and and still feels extremely awkward to play but that's part of the learning curve I suppose.

Wraith is a fucking blast, extremely mobile with decent weapon. Good utility with the explosive blade and the shoot>slide>stab>kick combo is extremely satisfying. That said part of why he is so fun might be that he is on the op side. Titan and juggernaut seem to feel the same close range brawler role but titan pretty much does it better as far as I can tell with better across the map mobility and not needing to be point blank while also having the best ult in the game.

Performance is much better for me than the last beta but some people are having the opposite experience

Making a team with this roster https://play.esea.net/teams/93265

A friend told me about the showpanel specgui command and I tested it out. It doesn't seem to be a server specific exploit more so that it just works in mp_tournament 1. Given that information it should probably be fixed assuming it isn't intentional and until it's fixed recognized as an exploit by esea with a rule made about it.

All that said, it's possible that it isn't a glitch and valve intends for it to be this way. Can't you see your teammates health in matchmaking?

Would it be possible to have tri just move all the teams into central?

My primary monitor is over clocked, removing the overclock and setting it to 120/144 didn't help. Turning it down to 60 hz did fix the issue but that obviously isn't viable. Also to clarify if it isn't clear in the video but when the stream is on the second monitor it also causes the audio to stutter.

Is it possible that switching away from hdmi would help? The video card doesn't output vga and the monitor only accepts vga or hdmi but I can probably get some sort of dvi/vga adapter. I might also be able to borrow a displayport/dvi capable monitor to test.

Thanks for the input so far now at the very least I have a lead.

edit-I found this thread and while I wouldn't exactly say it was the most trustworthy thing ever it is the only place I could find someone describing the problems I was having(everyone else was having issues with the high hz monitor not the other way around) Long story short none of the fixes in this thread have helped and the only way the guy on tomshardware found to fix it was to get another high hz monitor which makes for a sad jojo.

Double edit -testing with a friends 144hz as the second monitor has fixed the issue.
