†Jo̡͉̝̽̇no : Where's your Highlander badge SHRAK?
SHRAK : i dont play highlander :S
†Jo̡͉̝̽̇no : Okay
†Jo̡͉̝̽̇no : Just a really good pub player then

I am 10x the player on over 120 fps than I am on my laptop (anywhere from 20 to 60 fps). You can't react effectively on sub 60, instead of controlled aim you have to rely a shittonne on luck and hope that input lag doesn't fuck you over. <60fps just doesn't work for competitive play.

Man super hype, proud for my longtime co-caster and all round dreamy boat, he's put heaps of time and effort into this and I'm glad to see him getting up there on the international stage.

It is definitely possible to get camera and casters to line up together without post producing. One of the most common ways is that the casters actually cast off the observer, which I feel can work for play by play, but for analysis makes it a lot harder. It's possible to have pbp off the observer, and then colour off their own pov, but this does come with issues such as no flexibility for the pbp which can make it harder to cast, and can cause some tunnel visioning in terms of who is being watched.

I'm glad it's going to be done live, it's super hard for the observers, however david and ondkaja are solid af so it should go great imo.

To make sure you catch flanks/backcaps/hiding players, you'd need a 3rd person watching out for those full time honestly. I cast with free cam, and I still miss backcaps far more than I'd like to. It's just excruciatingly hard to make sure you are aware where every single player is going while trying to watch a fight for second.

Only just over a week to go and just under a grand to fill out the total goal! Indiegogo takes a larger chunk if the goal hasn't been met so keep donating! I'm sure there are more dog-based things paulsen hasn't done yet

that was absolutely nuts
hype for the full vid

holy fuck that is one of the funniest threads i've ever seen on /r/tf2

And that is what I think would be most fair. There's nothing stopping any team consulting a tactician between maps. But there is something (cost) stopping many teams from being able to field a 7th man. I feel like every team attending should at least have the opportunity to the same resources, instead of a select few who have a huge advantage over everyone else.

yeah i thought we agreed posting sileanimus is cheating

It's a huge advantage and I think it's ridiculous to allow coaches for this event as only a select few teams even have the option to use one. I implore the people in charge of the TF2 event at i58 to reconsider this, or at the very least change how the coaches work (eg I'm sure most people would be much more accepting if the coaching was only for freezetime/between maps as opposed to being used to micromanage your entire team midgame)

Europoors so scared of losing that they'll even play 7v6 smh

so which euros are gonna pay for a jasmine coach to come over so the playing field is even?

I don't see anyone doing this. In fact the only people I've ever seen do this are pubbers who are only just learning about competitive. I've never met a competitive player who says the game shouldn't be played like 'x', or said (seriously) "i don't understand how y could be found fun by anyone". But I've seen plenty of pub player comments saying that people shouldn't find competitive fun cause it's a "silly fun game"

Honestly been having so much fun playing. It has actually been a surprisingly social experience, already met a couple of other people wandering around playing. Also it's the first game that's made me want to go jogging so that's a plus too

He also said $500 gets him to wear a dog collar, an extra $500 gets puddy to walk paulsen around with a leash at lan
