rip tftv2

Just a lack of broadcasting staff?

twitch chat is already terrible. let the flame war begin

pretty sure he meant to ask who's going to benefit more from lan ping

ya and this game is literally a brain damaged retard jumping on top of rockets while some cackling german scientist shoves a magic beam up his butt

what do you want people to think about it, clearly ARMA IS THE BEST ESPORT because its so REALISTIC

people can put effort into whatever they want

The community is getting kinda tiny. Doesn't take a whole lot of toxic, uninformed people to make it feel like everyone is out to get you, especially when you're working like hell and reading shitpost after shitpost. Seems to me that almost everyone here hugely appreciates what you two are doing; the game would not be the same without the services you provide.

Fuck I don't actually have anything productive to say. pogs out for pugchamp

I remember just having one episode on VHS and watching it over and over again, and this shit was just fucking amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LhO-10w30

Crazy stuff. Didn't think Elon had it in him. tf2themoon

There's a huge demand for comp. It's waning now, but it's still there. The reason people don't play matchmaking isn't because they don't want to play comp; it's because matchmaking is incredibly fucking bad for new and old players alike. It's not that Valve isn't working on TF2 because there's no demand. Valve has completely fucking murdered all demand for TF2 by not working on it.

y click tho

Besides that it is really up to Valve at this point to choose what happens to TF2 competitively. Over the past 8 years this community has conclusively proven its dedication, its willpower, its stubborn willingness to just keep playing the game against all odds. It's honestly ridiculous how much some people have put in here while getting nothing but "appreciation" back. I mean, I love playing this game and don't plan on quitting anytime soon, but compared to almost every high level player, I only just started. Hard to blame someone who's been playing a 3rd party patched together comp mode for years, and at the highest of levels, for moving to another game where their talent could start working for them for once.

This is a really good idea. Plus you've got great players from all over the world in one place. Seems like a great time to have a variety of high level people talk about the game.

Looking for a chill team that scrims often. Played pocket for TacoHut eSports(7-9). Also willing to try out on roamer or med. Free whenever, hmu.

Like I said; nice concept, doesn't address the problem. I'm not denying that people who want to be good are okay with losing repeatedly, badly, and often. Good on you for being one of those people. But a lot of the people trying to play on Faceit right now will play a few games, get matched up against people leagues above their own for each one, be forced to deal with one salty teammate after another, and just move back to whatever other game service they're more comfortable with. It'd be lovely if there were a shitload of people playing TF2 right now who shared that attitude you have, but it remains to be seen whether there are enough to sustain a service like Faceit right now. Judging from what appears to have happened with Razer, there aren't. It'd be helpful if some effort was made for a little bit to accommodate people who aren't invite.
