I understand u love esea to death but what good is it to bash UGC? It still fuels like 90% of your scene playerbase and it's actually the entry point league in your scene. The players in open today were the players in ugc a few seasons ago, so I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with that but its probably not helping.

Since we're talking about reality shows

So, as you might know, we Europeans live in the future, but our brothers from Down under live even more in the future than us, so here's to a great 2015 to them and to all of you. May your dreams and aspirations come a little bit closer next year and may tf2 live not die, another year.

Arena Respawn is fuckin retarded.

I've literally played tf2 pub arena servers 2 times in 6 years and I have almost 6k hours in this game. Also I've never seen a full arena server. TF2 is not an arena game.

ill b ur cutie boy if u medic this pickup, only a medic missing for some high levle european tf2 gaming.

This is one of those things that if you have to ask how, then you ain't doing it right

If you were looking for approval, let me tell you that being condescending while posting your low quality no name lobby level fragvideo isn't one of the best ways.

Yeah it doesn't make much sense to have a newbie only tourney with a bigger prize pool than prem itself. That's just asking for trouble.

I ran a newbie only 6v6 tourney through comp.tf about 1 year ago and there was a lot of drama surrounding some players and teams and mind u the prize was just a couple dozen keys if I remember correctly.

What I meant is that cs cheats are far more advanced and profitable for "cheatmakers" than tf2 cheats, so it will have an effect in their quality, so if they can detect some pretty exclusive private cheats for cs that even worked at lan how could they haven't detected some tf2 cheat of the same kind?

I would guess in a game like tf2 that uses source pretty much any improvvement in detection of cheats for cs will have some effect on tf2 cheat detection as well.

So it's kinda weird that it doesn't detect some supposedly private tf2 cheats that aren't even that profitable and less feature rich than said cs cheats

Sheepy man u seem to have some deep hatred for the guy.

Afaik he was banned for aim assist which is the same as saying, "we dont know what the fuck is happening in these demos but this guy is just 2gud, lets ban him". you would think after getting banned for 2 times and 2 years later he would already have been affected by VAC at least? Especially with vac being more and more up to date to recent cheats, even private cs ones.

To be honest I'm not gonna judge the guy until there's hard evidence of it "aka" VAC ban, any speculation otherwise would feel like an injustice. I think being labeled a cheater wrongly is probably the worst thing u can have happen to you.

Also I don't believe the "if u cheat once u will cheat again" philosophy, not even applied to real life, it's really dumb to judge someone for life and assume they are unable to better themselves based on past actions.

If you want to get into comp tf2 it's obvious that you have something competitive about yourself, if you have that you will invariably want to get better, to get better you will need to practice a lot, practice takes time...

It's all a bit redundant because if you're really interested in comp you will spend time on it, how much it depends on you, but if you enjoy it I wouldn't consider it time wasted, obviously there are a lot of priorities in life and things change sometimes.

When I got into comp I spent a whole lot of time doing comp related stuff and practicing, but I enjoyed it, sometimes I went too far and messed my priorities because of it but it depends entirely on you, on how you can handle that and set limits for yourself. You can have a set and planned schedule and you can still get better without wasting all your time.

What killed pubs wasn't really the silly unlocks and random shit. Was quickplay. ANd the restrictions valve set for quickplay. It killed 90% of the pub communities in tf2, and being part of a community was the most fun part of pubs.

We used to have 3-4 community servers always full in Portugal, with a lot of regulars. After quickplay came and specially after valve changed restrictions for quickplay you're lucky if you even see 1 of those full, it killed all the servers.

Nowadays u just press quickplay and end up in a luxembourg 2fort valve server with random people with 300 ping

Well but there are those exceptions where the roamer has a really good game and might even get more kills and dmg than the pocket, and the pocket might not even have much heals because the team plays more with the demo, those exceptions kinda have to be taken in consideration. But of course I guess winning/loosing a round should impact the rating a lot more than individual stats.
