Well, tbh chris has been inactive for more than a year now I think, the configs should all work around the same but its almost sure there might be a couple of cvars that are not as optimized as they could.

As for the problem OP faced, its all due to the poor optimization of the game, I already made a thread, not very long ago, venting the exact same frustration I have with this game, despite having a good pc

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, generally my experience with lobby is that the majority of players are div6 or have no official league experience. And if they have experience higher than div6, they don't really play serious.

While tf2pickup is a slightly more serious and competitive atmosphere and you get a lot of players even from div1-prem playing among div4-5-6 players, as long as everyone is aware of how the game works, the skill level itself shouldn't matter much. Which is why I said we cater to a slightly different audience. And if you want to get better I would always recommend tf2pickup over tf2center.

Apparently its malware exploiting a google chrome bug.

Searched on google and in 2 mins got this.

Arie decided to match a key for every team signing up, up to 20 keys. So this would be a good opportunity to hop in :)

As agreed with him, I don't guarantee every key of his being used towards this cup, depending on singups, etc, if its not, then the remaining will be put forward to future cups.

I dont like the 3rd person either but it seems they went that route because of all the costumization options of the game so you can always see your character and his "items".

Its not fracturing the community, the site targets a different playerbase than tf2center at least in my view. A higher skilled one. Since you need a minimum of hours (350) to join any pickup and mumble is required for every pickup.

Also tf2pickup was here long before tf2center beta was even launched, and tf2pickup was and is the first site to offer web ultiduo and bball pickups, and as of now has every major format available (HL, 6s, bball, ultiduo)

Great site, been part of the team for quite a while since Crafz first started developing it, despite all the shortcomings and bugs at the start I could see he had started something big. There were days we reached 70 pickups a day if I remember well.

Shame it had to die down but it was a necessary step to completely redo the site with a more responsive and bug free interface.

Hope to see it working full force again, and by that I mean with constant pickups, because the admins will always be there to help.

I don't think we're competitition to tf2center, don't take this as an official admin view on it, but speaking personally I think we're aiming at a different and higher skilled playerbase while tf2center is aiming at the same playerbase as tf2lobby.

We got 6 signups already. Dont forget to confirm your invites on challonge. Usually these are sent by email.

Everything is in the linked cup page. BUt we're expecting to start at around 3pm EST

In case you haven't been paying attention we have announced a 2nd bball cup over here.

We have had a 2nd bball cup in the works for quite some time and wonderland new video release was just the cherry on top for the perfect timing to announce it. So here it is. Comp.tf 2nd bball cup, North America.

• All the details can be found here
  
• The custom map can be found here

Buy-in is 2 keys per team, goes entirely to the prizepool.

The event is due to be streamed by us at comp.tf official twitch channel, we will probably start the stream from the semi-finals onwards.

today was a good day

Need some clarification on the "Avg time before healing", does it only count from when you spawn until you heal the first time or does that also count every time in a teamfight or something that you're not healing anyone?

noooooo
