On a similar note does anyone remember the old competitive logos they used to do for the I-Series? I remember either the cap points would be like the tftv logo, or the player would have their logos on their player models. Idk if this would be possible again or even similar to changing a maps texture to create a new theme for spectators/stv but it'd be cool to see again.

I mean there has been no promotion of this event at all (or at least none that I know of). I asked my team if they wanted to play and they thought I meant the rgl experimental cup thats happening the weekend after. This got no mention from anywhere on RGL (Forums, Discord, or Stream) nor did it even get any promotion as an article. Just a thread that may be easily missed.

Thought you meant different map pools each season when I saw the title. I think it would be cool if it was done properly, but I think at a competitive level, fps would be a bigger concern. Also, I could imagine so many people saying "Man I'm a Winter Process guy, Summer Process sucks!" which would be annoying.

That doesn't mean I still don't want that night process or medieval gullywash from the environment's video tho...

I do and noted! I think some things got mixed up in the editing process but yeah completely agree that the article is not as clean as it should be. That's my bad.

My bad man, I don't think it was in my original edit tho. Reckon it was just continuing the title pun you getting shipped off so like abandon ship, not an attack on your decision at all. And I didn't know there were other leagues prior to ESEA. I knew there were like comp-pub teams but not any actual league, so that's on me for not doing enough research.

Nice work on the map, just some of my initial thoughts from jumping around exp b18, though I'll update this if my team scrims it before the season starts. I do like the change to the left entrance making it transparent, though I think it'd be cool if you made it where you couldn't check all of the cellar through the left grate, just a large/significant portion of it. Idk if back caps were something people commonly experienced on this map though.

Kinda iffy on the changes to second, obviously w/o playing it it's hard to tell but I do think it makes holding second a bit harder, which I think was already a challenge inherent in this map. Without the little platform on second, the area feels a bit no man's land/barren, and I think the positioning a defending team should take just gives too much free space to attackers. Also, it makes the roamer fast rollout significantly harder (admittedly biased as a roamer main). I think the ramps up to the second point is nice, but IDK how you would keep that and the platform w/o cluttering it up. If you keep the changes to the ramp/rock by the fountain on second, the only thing I'd say is to make that fence a bit higher so soldiers could bomb off of it into second as otherwise, the fountain seems a bit useless when pushing into second.

I feel like I'd have to play a game to get a feel of what the ramp to books would be like, or the improved ledge on mid, as it seems to stuff choke and books more.

Otherwise great work!

GGs to RGL on Ice

I dont think its super viable cause you have to get kinda close to the point + there are other bombs near there that allow you to get height/distance without exposing you to that much risk. Still cool and I could see some people using it to get cheeky garden picks.

edit: actually after jumping with it, it seems the best way to get from your valley to theirs directly unless their is a jump I dont know about, so maybe if you know they're all holding passive by kill box? still seems a bit situational.

I think its because when you exit/surface water, you get a little natural boost to help you exit it. Combined with a rocket jump, you can go flying.

Don't quote me on this tho, not too sure myself just what I've heard.

I tried to download 16 on the tf2 maps site, but I think it downloads b15b cause I dont see any of the changes

rgl and tftv casting this match?

I always thought sunset overdrive was apart of the jet set series lmao, very similar elements between the two. Looking forward to this though.

Fuck, I was really hoping the title was just a bad shitpost. This year actually sucks man, condolences to all his family and friends.

When I last went on mixer's front page it was just a lot of people crying/ranting and furiously spamming their twitch links. While mixer was nowhere near as succesful as youtube/twitch it does highlight how for these 'jobs' youre essentially gambling your life to this one company/platform, and if they decide to screw you over, you're fucked.
