#8 awesome ! this is the new reference post to link people to when they ask about interp.

more shrugger

I have absolutely no idea what he is like

the reason people are bringing this up is because the competition is free. and if a significant number of people cannot afford esea that's going to stunt its growth.

And a lot of people play tf2 on a potato with maxframes

etf2l divisions are fairly even. euro players are used to that and won't be eager to pay to get curb-stomped.

I know, and I'm not criticizing esea for doing that. I'm simply saying that anyone outside of prem has no incentive to join beyond "we like esea and want them in europe"

and getting players to feel that way is not going to be easy, considering things like the bitcoin scandal, shitty esea servers and simple inertia. even if esea had a full league like in NA, people who know they won't get 1st place (aka 95% of teams) would have no incentive to switch. The benefits of ESEA, LAN and prizes, are only a factor at the highest level.

tldr : why pay when we've been getting all this for free ?

I don't really see an incentive for any EU teams lower than prem to play in esea

going to get wrecked by top teams+have to pay+no chance of getting prize

A lot of the hate Mia gets is due to the fact that she's casting on the main european stream. Nobody starts out knowing how to cast and bashing on her because she's new is unfair. But learning should be done on a private stream while getting feedback from people who've specifically decided to watch that stream. Instead it's being done on a stream which is one of the public faces of comp TF2. People watching VTV expect certain standards to be met, and Mia's casting does not.

It doesn't help either that some people believe that she gets to cast just because she's a girl and friends with the VTV guys. I'm too ill-informed to have an opinion on that.

found another, I'll keep them posted here

anyone else finding errors can edit it too

I just played it 5 times and it really sounds like corky

Arx and beta's interview is so ungrammatical and disjointed. It's a nightmare to translate.

edit : where shall we report errors in the original subtitle ? at 5:05 you left out "I think Knoxx"

edit 2 : from pure's interview, what the fuck does 'corky' mean ?

fun fact : google translates scrim as 'mousseline' : instant mashed potatoes.

and harbleu's name is apparently anothony

I have a degree in applied frenchness which could be useful for translating.

speed does not equal mobility

the medic has higher base speed than soldiers and demos and is less mobile

detonator jumps are laughable and involve the pyro trading his primary damage source (secondary) for a shit weapon

besides this does nothing to solve the fact that pyro cannot spam and has awful range

furthermore what class would you swap for a pyro ? roamer or scouts means crippling the flank and taking a shitton of heals away from the combo

pocket pyro means godawful ubers and your med getting destroyed by scouts at mid range and a basically useless combo in open areas

so no not a viable option, and it will never be unless pyro is completely reworked

What's that ? I never heard about any issues.

As I recall the donations were used to get LG and mix^ to i49, not extv.
