eeeHuckAll the people still in high school on TFTV wonder why the top teams with people in their 20's never scrim its actually kinda funny
is it really hard to do? unless ur working >60 hours a week i dont see how u'd have trouble gaming for ~2 hours 4 times a week
It's not about the time really, it's about consistency. There are days I'm not going to be on because I want to do other stuff. There are days I'm not gonna be on because I had to work later or are going to be busy with other stuff. There are days that I won't be on because I just don't feel like playing Team Fortress 2.
All that goes into the decision of playing TF2, or any game for that matter, competitively. I've played with people on my team that have recognized that they fit into the above description, yet still decide to play. They end up missing scrims or pay half attention the entire night, while the rest of the team is working their ass off. You end up having to get ringers for half the days of the week, or worse, have to make a team decision to find another, more dedicated player.
If you don't have time to play, then at least find other people that also don't have time to play, or people that are fine with you missing scrims once or twice a week. A lot of people do that, but the player base is objectively getting smaller, so naturally, its harder to do. I personally want to commit myself if I'm playing, all or nothing, so for me, its not a question; I won't play unless I can make five scrims a night regularly, and I and plenty of others can't see themselves doing that anymore.
