current crowns

play with a coach and slow the pace down EVERY opportunity they get......so boring to watch

How could you make the ubercharge percentage number flash green when it is fully charged?

Thank you

Is there away to make the ubercharge percentage flash when it reaches 100%?

Grand finals preview?

I think in game coaching give too much of an advantage. I don't know if this comparison can fit the arguement but think about football (or soccer for the Yanks) each team has a coach which obviously gives directions mid game but its not like the coach can call everybody over and say well now we gonna do this and this. Half time is made exactly for that and i think that having a coach is fine but limit it to him talking between maps. I mean stalemates are a big thing in comp TF2 especially in 6's. So the coach gets way too much time to confer with his team in those dead moments. I mean players don't have to focus a lot during stalemates and so they can pay attention to the coach. Im not saying we should remove coaches but limit their power

I mean i think i58 could have ended differently without coaches.

Exactly i mean if you are focusing only on strategy, uber tracking, you do it exxeptionally well because you dont have to focus on dm skill and staying alive and making plays.

Well bringing a seventg man for Crowns was a breeze cause they had a sponsor but for the rest of the teams especially Froyo thats a lot of money to find.

As i58 wraps up, well done to Crowns to for winning the tournament, I thought about how in my opinion having a coach gave a team an unfair advantage. I mean i am not saying it made a huge difference cause most of the games were pretty close. Kaidus himself said it after the UBF "I call everything" "i coordinate what to do next". Kaidus is a great TF2 player and has been main caller for a lot of time and i think that gave Crowns an unfair advantage. i mean think about it for a minute ok? Six players are playing a game of TF2 and they have to concentrate on: playing well and not making mistakes.
The coach only has to focus on the errors and what to do next. I think its a pretty noticeable advantage.
If players are under pressure due to atmosphere and the setting this may lead them to make errors but with a coach that reduces to a minimum because he has to focus only on what to do next and not on playing. For example a team has successfully defended last point and wants to push out they forget a player is alive in the confusion and killfeed and leave the point undefended. Outcome: Backcap and round loss. If a team has a coach he can one, calculate who is alive cause he doesn't need to focus on killing people, two, notice the threat of a backcap and therefore tell the team to leave a man on the point.

This is not taking any merit away from crowns because they played well all tournament. This is my opinion and would like to know what the community thinks of the matter.

one map advantage isn't a very big advantage because if the next map favours the underdog team there is the UBF final advantage gone. I think it is pretty fair and balanced as it is now

I can see what Dolly above us is getting at. He means that if you win the UBF it is much easier to win the Grand Final because you are already 1-0 in bo3's . I can relate to that but ESEA has been running like this forever and nobody has ever complained because it is only right to give the team who won the UBF an advantage. It is up to the team who has the advantage whether they are gonna cherish it or throw it away. The underdog team having lost the UBF has to fight if it wants to win. We have seen that both scenarios can happen in the last 2 seasons. Froyo won both but it was in two different situations.

I don't think nobody would have complained if they lost. You win UBF you have advantage whether you use it (S22 Froyo) or blow it (S21 Ronin) its up to you.

You just had to play the match at 3 am EU time :( well ill have to make 4 hours of space in my day for the VOD

Congrats to Froyo for the mentality after losing first Set

GG to Ronin best tf2 ive seen in a bit

All clear i was at 2-2 froyo-ronin when i posted this. All clear thanks for the explanation.
