I continued watching him stream casual, and started thinking, what other game do you know that over half of the player base doesn't know how to play it.
I played a lot of f2p fps games before I started playing tf2, obviously there were a lot of bad players, but they generally understood the game modes and what they should be doing, even if their execution was poor. 
in war's stream 3-5 players were afk in spawn the whole time, and most of his team couldn't get out of spawn and didn't know how to play their class.
in what game is the casual experience anything close to tf2?

FUNKeMan, it really sucks seeing so many before-and-after opinions of TF2 from so many veterans and big names in the scene. So many old videos of people enjoying the game, feeling at least a hint of optimism for its future (during that streak of valve being more vocal about comp support), people who would defend the game with their life over competitiors, but fast forward to post-mym and valve really fucked the bucket hard. I've yet to see anybody think valve knows what they're doing on this, and even the optimistic people fully admit that "Valve DOES want tf2 to succeed! They're just refusing to do any logical steps to fixing it!" I don't understand why it's so difficult for them. I want to hang out for them, but every week that passes just further shows how inept they really are about it
the sad part is that for them it doesn't matter, they will earn their money and even if competitive tf2 will grow, the growth in income will be pretty small and insignificant. it's a shame really,
watching war's stream it genuinly looked like he was depressed and almost tearing up.
not a good year for tf2.
Smesiborh eu and na are in a slump so there's a good chance that au wins i58
I'd say that au is also in a slump, losing so many talented players in the past 2 years (mainly from immunity)

too predictable
if you have any files in your scripts folder that have weapon names in it, delete all of them.
Frost_BiteDavidTheWinHis last game was with some Finnish team during the season where ETF2L said you can use openplugin to change the fov if both teams agree. He played on a 4:3 monitor and used 120fov in openplugin but when playing against (I think it was) crack clan Ipz denied the openplugin and Darn threw the first map and they defaulted the second map. I'm pretty sure the cast is on the vtv youtube somewhere.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3Qk0AxGLY if anyone's interested.
FWIW, I've only seen Darn exactly twice: this match, and the first cast I ever tuned into, which was during the pause when Darn smashed his keyboard against his computer and bluescreened it. Not exactly the best of impressions.
I remember that he played with rockit as well in season 18 for like half a season
Zappy620faggetHow does the game work? Is it 1on1 or is it a clusterfuck with a lot of players? And in what map? And what about europeans?Most likely its going to be a 1v1 duel in mge and also the map is decided by a coin flip between competitors, but I guess I should make a strawpoll about that since maybe 20 points is a lot just for market gardening... Europeans can join of course, I would love the group to have players from all over, but most of the people in the group currently are from the usa unfortunately. So it might be a hassle in terms of ping as you can imagine, but if you're up for it, I don't see a reason to exclude you :P
I don't think anyone here is interested, espicially the players that are good at it.
azarunPPhoenix21Soldier's banners fall in your criteria too, but they are both viable and balanced.
Lets face it valve will never remove sandman from the game or make it a stock reskin. Might be better nerfing them to the point where high level players would prefer consistent stock over gimmicky unlock.
the only reason why they are balanced is because soldiers without gunboats barely survive if they are useful, there's a reason why it's only being run to push last on stalemates on certain maps, very specific, and I don't think anyone has a problem with those unlocks in hl/pubs (same thing but one being with classlimits) so nerfing them will make everyone use the same boring unlocks in every game mode.
it doesn't require more skills to use them, it just rewards better players in general, this weapons aren't banned for  their short "spawn time" but because they are either over powered af (crit a cola) or just potentially help out your entire team (jarate/mad milk) or an individual  (all of the eatable heavy secondaries)
their design is flawed for competitive because they are so much better than the stock alternative.
google is your friend
http://etf2l.org/forum/customise/topic-17728/ first option when I googled tf2 lod quake like settings
1000 dpi, as long as the mouse doesn't jitter or predict dpi doesn't matter imo.
he helped me realize that my isp operates from my bathroom and the fact that I occasionally can stream is a miracle.
