Not confirming a Faint team will go, but I will most likely go

I think this is pretty awesome to see, especially for invite players as it is now cheaper to play for the same price pool which will 1. Bring more sponsors into the game, as they usually balk at the initial price of fees 2. Alot of teams will be able to try their hand at invite, which may mean a larger invite season for S27?

Esports Case

Why don't we let Valve make a $1 million dollar major like they do for CSGO? /s

Mmmm hope we get some habib vlogs

Greatest Performances of all time:
1. Wilt Chamberlain 100 point game
2. US men's hockey team in the 1980 Winter Games (Miracle on Ice)
3. Meyy perfect game against knuck and co.

I hope in the next update Valve really thinks about adding a competitive case, much like how csgo received esports cases during he early stages of competitive CSGO. As the team is currently releasing community content, just slap the title "Esports Winter Case" on it and say 50% goes to a REWIND prize pool or something like that. That's how you can easily connect the trading and competitive communities while also buffing the prize pool.

Ah I see now, Valve delayed the update to allow this match to be played without server issues. Valve are so considerate :D
Thanks Valve!

Can't wait :D
I hear Yight wants to play full time Pyro, maining fart taunt kill

While I do know I no next to nothing about how meta works or comp tf2 in general (people who were unfortunate enough to be in my pugchamp lobbies would know) isn't this a bit similar to what we have now, stalemates that usually go on for 3-8 minutes?

Agreed, however how long does the proper testing usually last? Personally, I would love to see the new pyro and weapons by playoffs time where everyone can see the new pyro in play competitively, which will 1. Bring some new viewers to the comp scene and 2. Create a fresh new meta

I really disagree with the usual idea that anything new should immediately be added to the whitelist, as this leaves the same game relatively stale for the casual spectator (me). Now, I'm not saying that we should leave OP weapons in, but there should be testing concerning the new weapons.
