Se7en have a European flag above the roster but then have a British flag in the prediction section.

Do you really want your soldiers/demo to go for MORE airshots (what could've been asked before that stat was a thing)?

Recently got chatbanned for a month by Warpy for simply being in the same lobby as my friend who spammed "queue for FACEIT" in the chat.

Submitted an unban request to the forums, it got ignored. Tried to add Warpy, got ignored. Added someone who used to be on the TF2C team (their name was still on the "About TF2C Team" page) then got referred to Simba whose Steam profile at the time said something along the lines of "don't add me about TF2Center". Ended up adding Nado who then told me they would try to get in touch with Warpy when they come online, then when I asked later about my ban the response I got was something like "I don't know what the hell is going on, everyone is asking about their bans and it's a mess". Shortly after this my ban expired so I submitted a "Community Support" form asking for the ban to be removed from my history and that has also been ignored.

Running an engineer isn't inherently bad, just depends what most people find fun. My team have switched classes alot and I don't think any of us mind being the dedicated engineer offclasser in a 5CP last hold or defence on A/D so long as it's a contribution. I'm sure there are plenty of other players with the same mindset.

I never played cp_gravelpit in ETF2L but I've doublemixed on it and played cp_edifice in the preseason cup; personally I really enjoyed both maps and the concept of A/D as a whole. Can definitely agree that KOTH and A/D are lacking in good maps though.

I wasn't too fond of koth_bagel but I know alot of other people were so maybe that'd be a good place to start.

Has any mapper considered an A/D remake of one of the currently played 5CP maps? Not sure how it would turn out but just an idea.

Even after the voice codec got upgraded to CELT (same codec that CS:GO uses), there's still a huge lack of communication in FACEIT/TF2Center games (can't speak for matchmaking since I haven't played it in ages). From my experience right now you're lucky to get even one other person using their mic, as opposed to CS:GO where most games the majority of the team is talking.

Reasons? Solutions?

The problem is that if people don't enjoy this playstyle then they should be "hating" the gamemode which allows and incentivises it in the first place instead of shitting on the team that wins at it.

ETF2L Open - Badlands Scrim

Don't play stupid.

Seems like one of the big issues people have with this whitelist stuff is how decisions are being made.

People are arguing over a topic that is subjective, as if some sort of middle ground can be reached based solely on discussion. Don't get me wrong, discussion is definitely healthy, but it's only part of the solution; it's great for theorising the effects that each unlock will bring to the game and subsequently helping people form their own opinions based off of that, but not every theory becomes reality when it comes to actual gameplay. These theories need to be tested.

In ETF2L, there's been a "preseason cup" before every season which has allowed teams to test out new maps and then vote on those maps. Until the "secret meeting" global whitelist was introduced, unlocks were included in this testing & voting phase also. Why not introduce this kind of thing globally? If not a cup, perhaps a whitelist that runs during the entire offseason that can be used for testing in scrims/mixes/pugs?

The only way you're going to reach a satisfactory middle-ground is by holding a vote on it, which, in my opinion, should not exclude everyone that doesn't fit into the arbitrary skill measurement of Invite/Prem (sorry elitists, but Open/Mid/IM/High players are still players, and not all of them are "retards"). Put out a poll that's advertised on all the league & other comp-related sites so that there's little excuse for people to complain about being left out.

You can't gain an unfair advantage by using an item, because the other team can use it aswell.
