short episode with some highlights.

I've had this issue before, try checking your windows language keyboard settings. I used to have a Chinese keyboard also enabled and there's a windows hotkey it forces on you to switch between languages on the fly and this hotkey hook can fuck with Ctrl + Space just because windows :D I ended up removing all the keyboards besides the english one to fix it.

I also do the crouch then jump key sequence so you're not wrong for doing that.

everyone go upvote their post -> https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/58jw0o/rewind_a_yeam_fortress_2_lan_esports_arena/

(iirc you need to goto /r/tf2/new and upvote it there to make it have any effect or something? someone confirm)

making a post to raise awareness for this one:

written by sigsegv with tangible evidence in the post so don't worry about it being unreliable info. i don't want to misinterpret what he says so just read it yourself.

this is where it starts to become silly.

1. people have made countless big lists of things to improve in matchmaking. i shouldn't need to go and collect how many threads we've made on "what MM needs to change to be better" and "how to fix MM?", it's insane how much it gets asked.

2. given that it seems 1 isn't good enough, are you suggesting that to get anything done we need to cry as hard as we can and spam the forums with our opinions to get them noticed?

ok, so you suggest that we should test different things to give the TF2 team some more tangible evidence on what works and doesn't.

are you saying that if we go and test all this stuff now (despite having done it before etc) they'll take it into consideration and adjust the game based on our findings?

if yes, what inspires that sort of confidence in you?

it would be stupid to bait everyone into playing a ton of random formats only for it to have been all for naught ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: you kinda ninja'd me as i was typing this slin, but still would be nice to have an answer.

8 minutes of just all the news since before i58. Millions of roster shuffles, and other more interesting stuff!

Sure, I wouldn't mind doing that. Only unsure if it'll be relevant / interesting after people figure out the good weapons after a week of scrims and play but we'll see.

maybe this will work :P

Hey all! I'm bumping this thread to let you all know that if all goes well, the video should be featured on the i58 stream! Bren has lent us his beautiful voice to grace us with 6s knowledge. It's been a tiring week with the release of some other videos you may have seen from me, so if you have questions I didn't answer here just ask.

#1 here is the final video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjw3X8RQQlA
#2 - Yes I will continue making more of these, but I can't promise how long it would take to get the next one going, etc.
#3 if you see people who enjoy the video, it would be very nice of you chatters to direct them to /c/backcap :)

i58's going to be amaaaaaaazing :D

With i58 on the horizon, we decided to band together to show the world what competitive TF2 is about. We wanted to create a small video to highlight all the reasons we love this game, and we hope it resonates with you too.

Share it with your friends and get them excited for i58!

I wanna chime in here to let people know that AnAkkk has disabled 6 stacking and it seems to be restricted to 2 player parties now. [source: https://puu.sh/qwUxS/dca40e698d.png - from the discord]

I know a lot of people stopped playing (me included) because it was really boring to play versus 6 stacks over and over but it's honestly really underrated how quickly FACEIT responded to this issue and is experimenting with only allowing 2 player parties now. Please reach out to the all people who used to play FACEIT and let them know the queues are much friendlier and accessible and support them! Don't let FACEIT become another CEVO, get an invite from http://www.teamfortress.tv/35310/giving-out-faceit-beta-codes and invite your friends into the beta.

The FACEIT points are super addicting and you'll get hooked as soon as you get into it. Soon enough all of us are gonna be driving around in our fiat 500's and seeing each other at LANs :D
