I think that doesn't apply to the EU scene.

There are repercussions for hacking. Besides the public humiliation and ostracization of being outed in a league newspost any player caught cheating here is punished by a 1 year ban, if found using an alt or re-offending later that ban is extended to 2 years. Now you might not think 1 year is not enough, but like I said before 1 year is roughly 6 seasons of competitive tf2 (3 of 6's and 3 of HL). You miss an entire era of the game, in esports where usually competitive has such a short span, a period of 1 year is a loooong time.

Also there are proper channels through which cheating can be reported, at least in EU we have the ETF2L AntiCheat team, and for pickups you can report as well to the admin team (which I am part of) which will analyse case by case. This kind of dirty laundering doesn't really have any sense of justice besides encouraging the mob mentality which is horrible imo. I don't know how ESEA cheating report works or if it only works on client (if it does that is rather inefficient) but whatever the case it is, these kind of threads could be avoided and instead report the case to the proper channels (ie: directly to Fog (server owners), admins of the irc channels, etc... and they would enforce the bans at their own discretion).

There is no way a case will be analyzed impartially and by a level-headed person after there are 10 pages of people with their pitchforks out.

That is one of the best tf2 props I have seen so far, you got a fine item there.

I have a chair with arms, and quite high ones, but I still bend my wrist a lot.

I have tried today putting my mousepad vertical and extending my whole arm over the desk like below, feels really strange tho, and what feels stranger is that to type my right hand is really far from the keyboard

I do this as well since I have a pretty big mousepad, but I use mostly wrist aim.

While we're at it I also wanna ask for suggestions, (excuse the shitty paint image) but I use mostly wrist aim as thats how I felt confortable at the begining since I had quite a high desk and couldnt reach the whole arm over it.

But as of lately my wrist starts hurting after some gaming sessions and it becomes really disconfortable, I think my arm posture is definitely the reason, I got a new desk this year, a bit less high but still higher than what I expected so I still wrist aim and same way, should I change to arm aim or something? I don't want to end up with a wrist injury or something.

The problem is that the only support of my arm is my wrist on the edge of the desk and that really stresses the wrist a lot after some time as it is bent and moving a lot. And I also use only like 10% of the mousepad area as you can see from the pic above

Thanks for the post I was unaware of this and found it really interesting, very smart setup definitely

numlocked I love you, but I gotta cheer for my countrymen on this one!

GO TLR! :D TLR for S16 Champions! GET HYPED!

beware this is a very early beta and the site is having lots of problems at the moment cuz it was never really stress tested with this amount of users.

I used it back in the closed beta and it looked very promising. Lets hope we get through these first problems

If you are experiencing technical issues with your build that will definitely effect your play so I would recommend using a FPS config (which are configs tailored to make the game the most streamlined and smooth as possible by removing unnecessary stuff like gibs, facial animations, lower textures resolutions, etc...

Chris Max frames config should pretty much allow you to play with a constant 100+ fps at all times.

Jas, honestly I think the speed buff played a role there, even if it was some mili seconds, it was enough to deny the defending team the possibility of getting on point in time, besides, the defense buff also helps tanking damage

Don't have much knowledge about in hear headphones but the sennheisers closed headphones I have (HD 280 Pro) are the best I have ever had.

Definitely, forgot to say that. There are real moments of skill on lobbies regardless the lower skill environment and an impressive airshot or double airshot even in that case should be valued and is probably good fragmovie material.

Sorry if I seemed too harsh, its just I get the feel you are rushing everything and that you are worrying with the wrong things at the moment, if you really want to get into competitive then you shouldn't be worrying about making fragmovies at this moment, I have frags of a span of over 1,5 years playing competitively and I'm not sure I have enough fragmovie material for my liking just to give a perspective on things.

Im not saying to give up, its definitely not that, just interiorize the tips everyone has gave you on this thread, which mind you are really good tips overally and try to make the best out of them as you wish.

Really good huhy :D so glad I saw this being produced, I didn't know you had extine on board tho :D

Really hope to see more of this!

Hi there,

First of all you said you are "new to competitive" if this is true then your frags are bound to be nothing special or out of this world, not trying to be an asshole but with the hundreds of fragmovies out there it's just how it is.

Second of all, lobby frags are generally very frowned upon by the competitive community as its viewed as a very low skill environment where there is no real communication and as a whole the players lack awareness and dm. It's better to spend a bit more time practising and collecting better frags instead of releasing a fragmovie with frags from such a low skill environment, alternatives are pickups, mixes, doublemixes, pcws, officials, etc... If you're in EU tf2pickup.net is a very famous pickup site which is a much higher skill environment and teams are required to use mumble for comms so its generally a good source for frags.

Also, regarding your intro, not sure which recording software you're using but if you're really aiming for the fragmovie feel I would consider removing the HUD elements as well as disabling hitsounds and ingame voice sounds, etc... Lawena is a great recording tool that can help you achieve this and also recording at the highest graphic quality settings.

Regarding the editing itself, well IMO you shouldn't worry about it in such a phase in your competitive "career". Generally the key is to have good colors, have a fitting music and frags synched with the music are a really good plus, but there's no magic key to a good fragmovie there are movies that work great with a more hip hop based sound, others use a much more lighter chill electro, it all depends on the feel you want to give the fragmovie but IMO it can work with a lot of different styles, you just have to worry with it having good frags and the synchronism between the music itself and the recorded clips mantaining a consistent style or view.

Honestly and from what I saw from your intro alone, I think you are getting your priorities wrong atm, you shouldn't be worrying about making a fragmovie so soon into your career, specially if that consists of lobby frags. If you really want to get into movie editing atm then I would advise to get some demos with really good frags and experimenting with it until you get the feel of editing a fragmovie. But be warned when releasing that fragmovie as is with lobby frags, generally they are looked very frowned upon as I said and you will receive really harsh criticism for it, not worth it imo.
