This video is a beautiful demonstration of why you should switch back to scout when your team is pushing out of last...

ma3la got an escape plan taunt kill in a match on granary at some point a couple seasons ago iirc. you may want to try and find that.

Team leaders, you got a tftv pm. Check it and join the discord. Also feel free to send this link to your teammates. If your team leader doesn't regularly browse tftv, tell them to come on and check their messages.

See you guys Saturday.

You have until I get back to my pc (tomorrow at 2ish est) to sign up. That's ~15 hours! Currently have a healthy number of teams signed up, but I'd like to get as many as possible. Games are one week from today REMIND YOUR TEAMMATES AND OTHER TEAMS. See you guys then!

Happy birthday, geel!

Registration ends this Saturday, just a heads up. 1 more team to make an even bracket.

A bunch of online friends of mine host an annual charity stream every march. They play a bunch of retro games for a few days and are generally just silly, all while raising money for Doctors Without Borders.

And this argument itself is pretty lame when you realize that by simply posting to the forums (and not being an active moron), you can almost always find someone to pay for your first season. Or by asking your team to pitch in, which almost always works. Or you can sign up through newbie mixes which (starting next season) will be able to self-sustain payments for a decent amount of users with referral link returns.

UGC is great if you just want to play a couple nights a week or goof off with friends, but looking at the UGC team signup numbers is really upsetting when you think about where ESEA would be with just a third of those signups.

And I think the post means more "don't tell people they're not good enough for ESEA" (not sure, because i'm not tino). If people want to play in UGC, that's fine. But let them know that it's called "Open" for a reason. I regularly hear the "I'm not good enough" mantra in newbie mixes, and it's something that we should really try to get rid of if we ever want our premier league (and currently best long term opportunity) to thrive.

I pronounce it "pone", but you can say whatever. It's a terrible alias either way.

Yes. It's the only reason I ever got into running tournaments. It's an easy thing to do, but it takes a lot more time and consistency than a lot of people have.My tournament. The original tournament.

Also for the URLs you use, be sure users either don't change their steam url or that you list the one with numbers rather than the custom one (which you can find here). Thanks, guys.

i'd imagine this means "show contract progress while in a tournament mode 1 game"

It’s been awhile since I’ve helped run a tournament. This thread (sent to me by dreamboat) gave me a reason to do another. So, here’s the REAL Spring Tourney (NA 6v6), sponsored by serveme.tf.

The tournament will be played March 19th, starting at 3pm est. It’ll go as late as it needs to. The tourney may also bleed over to Sunday night if needed, so be prepared for that as well. We're hoping to get some games casted in a somewhat casual way. More on that soon.

Rules:
-Winlimit 5
-30 minute games
-ESEA whitelist
-ESEA maplist
-Double elimination, unless more than 16 teams sign up
-Three backups per team, no roster changes a week before tourney starts
-No buy-ins, but any team with an alt will be kicked from the tournament

Just a super simple day for you and your teammates or friends to play some TF2.

Sign up below with this format in this thread. Signups close a week before the tournament.

Prizes (generously provided by serveme.tf):
1st: Serveme.TF 6 Month Subscriptions + 30 keys
