By "are you doing all you can" I meant as a question to the admins of the cup. When do rules in a league not get enforced? Sorry if it sounded like I'm ranting at you but whenever I see this cup being brought up somewhere (mostly etf2l) it's met by "oh it'll just be full of hackers what's the point".

You obviously haven't even read the restrictions or listened to anything we were talking about at all. The whole POINT is to bring in the players who've played loads of lobbies but not official games - we want to bring in the people who've already shown an interest in competitive to maximise the gain. The players aren't supposed to have "no experience" they're allowed a very specific amount of experience, or less. One season in the lowest division or less.

Of course these events are going to attract people who want to hack or account-share, but why are you bothered by it? The options are to A) have the event and have it regulated as strictly as possible, accepting that you might not be able to be 100% effective or B) think "fuck it" I'll just not run an awesome event to bring loads of new players into competitive. I mean come on, wtf negative nancy. Of course they're gonna run it and attempt to make it as good as possible.

So the argument becomes, are you doing all you can? All alts that get reported/detected will be acted on, and have been acted on. Tonnes of time went into identifying these players, with a team of admins, and seeing how much experience they had. Many teams were disqualified for having too much experience and then went on to fix their rosters and carry on playing - the vast majority will have been due to genuine errors. There is an AC team ready to handle any reports of potential cheaters and they can also identify account sharers. It's not foolproof but good god it's better than not running the event. And it's certainly taken a lot of effort.

I don't know where you're getting this info from, the restriction were very clear and I'm sure it's being enforced.

You are a genius.

Big thing that currently bothers me about this map is how many things eat my splash damage. I don't mean stairs or stuff, it's like doorframes and plantpots and shit that literally like to feast on my rockets. Is it possible to just put an invisible layer over them all whilst still keeping the aesthetics the same?

We thought about doing this last year and decided that getting PCs there was too difficult. Hopefully we'll see some other european teams attempt it this year because it'd be awesome to have two big european LANs with the top teams!

What you're suggesting makes literally 0 sense. You want it to either be like snake or blocked completely?
If it was like snakewater, those areas of the mid would open up a lot more and it'd be a really strange mechanic to have, highground up there. It would make it even easier to hold choke, and the flank route could be shut down more on mids.
As it is, you cannot use it as a "gay spot" like above gullywash big doors because it's so open and visible. This is simply not an issue. If people you're playing against are consistently using it then they're leaving other areas wide open, not holding mid properly and you can check it and kill them easier than them standing in pretty much any other place.
If you block it completely, you block all the "airspace" above that area. It stops you airstrafing into that zone, surfing on the roof to escape/dodge/rollout, makes random invisible walls appear. It's a bad idea that I hate on every map whenever it occurs at a RJable level. Leave it as is.

HALLELUJAH I can't get killed by a 100 damage sticky from 4 lightyears away.

EDIT: Nice little bonus for the jumping community too, cool from valve. Quickylauncher fixed too, is it viable?

I would suggest posting a video Osiris so that Hyce can tell precisely what you're talking about, because it's difficult to get across in text.

Why do you want the roof to be blocked from jumping xero?

It's pretty interesting how they've got a read on their target audience though. I personally view it as completely retarded, I don't enjoy watching these people as they give away things or open crates or whatever, but everything they do is very well done. The whole hype building, the entire sub-train idea, the giveaways, it's all interesting to see what people will get excited over.

I think shotgun is the devil in bball tournaments. It sucks the fun out of everything, it's not fun to use nor to play against, and it's definitely not as fun to watch as people going for airshots. Just ban shotgun completely, but still enforce it in the loadout so that you don't have people jumping 15 times with gunboats.

it's not a joke it's literally the truth. He only poops once a week or less because he's afraid of it. Saves it up for one traumatic event a week instead of going all regular like.
