5-4 or Overtime matches were the main reason why I kept playing TF. For me, there is nothing quite like the intensity of competition between 2 evenly matched teams that can only happen during a match.

I been away for a while. link thread that explains this plz

Magnus Carlsen plays TF2

Not sure what your issue is, he wasn't wrong and you are being a dick.

He seems like a new player forming a team for one of the lower divisions and is searching for players. How is he magically supposed to know this is an experienced player based off the OP which didn't state anything?

I'd like to donate 1.25 of my nerd stars to griff please. I feel he has earned 4 stars by now but the system is keeping him down.

I can deal with the hackers, at least there is a chance to vote kick them. Its the lagbots totally destroying servers that is more of a problem.

Resurrecting my own thread here with a new video request.
I been watching a lot of the old Insomnia LAN matches and I can remember a video being made of this play from either Bulle or Blaze POV:

You can hear sideshow going crazy at 27:50, just wish the camera stayed on blaze

So during that defense, Blaze does a ton of dmg, kills the sniper and chases the medic. Afterwards, Bulle does some crazy jukes or blaze just beefs rockets, but it was a pretty awesome sequence with bulle killing blaze. I know someone made a short video of this but I can't find it for the life of me.

So fucking depressing

I read the same thing before the tournament started, I hope you are 100% right.

The live commentators were the ones talking about this rumor going around and it was on a few websites of people covering the matches. (Photographers and such) Best case would be that it is just rumor/speculation of paranoid people around the tournament.

I hear the most recent rumor/gossip is that Nepo has developed a steady cough and has not been feeling well the past week. Fuck

I just want a T-Shirt that says: Captures, Captures, Captures :)

Some Interviews from today:

Giri and MVL

Ding - No Caruana, he took off. I guess he was just pissed at his performance.

Hao and Grischuk

Nepo and Alek

Watching all the time. Should be a fantastic tournament.

Ding's slow start shouldn't mean much after his win today.
Grischuk getting into time trouble because of naps is awesome
Caruana is the player to beat but I just feel some major upsets coming in the next few rounds that will keep this tournament close all the way to the end. I have to be honest, I am straight up cheering for Hao.

For great game breakdowns and all around solid analysis, I subscribed to this channel several years ago and his content has steadily improved. He will likely cover just about every game in this tournament.
