SentinelKaidus' stream explanation for those that missed it
http://www.twitch.tv/kaidus/v/174509696?sr=a&t=2820s
Hard to argue against what he said really.
Makes sense.
Off to Italy tomorrow if anybody wants anything?
Same. Every time I hit M1 one just pops straight out
TwiggyStylaxAs somebody who got into competitive fairly recently, imo you have to improve the systems for getting pubbers into competitive. As good a job as all the people running leagues do, it's very tricky for the following reasons:By the way, if you come from pubs, did you play them with valve's system or were you a regular on some community servers? I'm out of the loop and don't know if these are still a thing in 2017
1) Pubbers don't know about competitive
2) If they do, they have to do a solid amount of research to know to go to etf2l (for example) on the the website, make a profile, do a rec post, or make a team, and that's a lot of effort for (likely too much for currently casual players). It seems straightforward but to somebody who is new, it's fairly time consuming and you're uncertain about each step.
3) They're likely terrible and have no experience, so a lot of teams won't want to pick them up and they won't even get a good impression of comp.
Imo that's why the fresh meat general concept was brilliant. Whatever form it takes (be it a league or just a guidance section of the website), I think there should be some kind of system putting together fresh meat teams or new players, and every team should be allocated a buddy who is experienced and can help.
tl;dr
- You need to improve pubbers' awareness that comp exists and how good it is
- You need to improve the systems for getting players who are interested in comp into teams and playing
It's incredibly difficult but there is room for improvement and it is possible.I know a lot of players who have just got into comp.. I'm talking about what we can do. Obviously Valve could do a lot more.
HiipfireGetting more people into the game isn't going to do much when there's barely anybody who's willing to chase around sponsors, because sponsors aren't going to suddenly emerge when more people get into the game
I disagree, that's exactly what sponsors do. If there is players, there is viewers and audience and therefore money. But obviously, we're talking numbers much much bigger than TF2 ever achieved. To attract money the game would have to have weekly streams followed by like 10 000 people at least (roughly what SC2 draws at the moment for example, and it's a dying game economically)
Tbh I was quickplay scum. I only really played that.
I'm not quite sure how I even found out about comp. Probably from watching various youtube vids and just randomly coming across comp vids.

The roster, which presumably means a new one?
Cool team but I think their lineup was always going to be strong.
For me, what's happening elsewhere with teams like lowpander af, and antic is more interesting in terms of the league.
Don't get me wrong though, it's good to see svift. An exciting team and hopefully a good contest with se7en if they remain.
wrechedddddpeople who say nigga or nigger on a public videogame forum make me fear for their lack of mental well-being
Edgy morons.
Sadly they are many.
_KermitStylaxFrom streams I had no idea Serotone was Scottish
Derp?
He isn't, but sheepy wanted him to play on the Scottish roster one time in the nations cup so apparently he has scottish grandparents or some shit.
Oh I see, cheers.
OP has edited the flag to GB now.

Also, good news that antic is still a thing
Tbf scout has plenty of aspects in which other classes out perform him. For example he's weak in stalemates and on last compared to other classes. I don't think he's as unbalanced as people claim.
If there were to be changes I'd suggest either a minimal nerf or a slight buff to other meta classes
