HallowIs the general consensus that we'll follow valve in whatever they decide for 6s?
If we don't then we're going to be even smaller than we are now (due to half the people leaving to play valveMM) AND we're not going to be the main way to play competitive TF2. We'll have no fresh people coming in, no money, no coverage and it'll be a slow decline.
I don't expect people to move instantly, which is why I think moving the whitelists more and more open is a good idea - and we potentially have like a season or so to play something in-between and adapt? But overall yeah we have to roll with whatever valve give us or we're dead.
Good news is we can actually give direct feedback and balance changes based on our format, and we can have the leagues run a similar but not identical ruleset if we think something is truly bust (small changes between MM and leagues exist almost everywhere, so long as the basic premise is the same).
