pie_hero fucking blows rofl.

love you nico :3

Also, for those asking, the RGB LAN medals are not yet in the game. They will be included during the next TF2 update (whenever that will be). When they are thrown in with the next update, I'll give out the medals.

It's really just comparing q1/q3promode to q2/vq3/q4. The movement systems in all of the games are awesome and should be appreciated, but to say one is objectively better or what QC needs is a bit silly.

I want to make it known that technically, showstopper has dethroned b4nny.

Hey, I really appreciate this. But when people come up to me to thank me, I always thank them right back, because if they didn't show up, then all my work is for nothing. Just show up to these events and have a good time, and I promise I'll be just as thankful to you as you are to me.

Also, that bit about doing something cool for the teams that got eliminated first: I had a few TF2 prizes to give away, like a Heavy figurine that has a code inside for in-game content. I wanted to do a little trivia competition or something, but could never get both teams in their entirety at once. After a while, I just grabbed a couple people from one of the teams that got eliminated first and did a little 5 minute trivia thing for the Heavy figurine. They enjoyed it and it was a good time. :)

Once again, I also need to thank drshdwpuppet for helping with running the servers. Whether it's the tournament servers, pug servers, or even MGE servers, he continues to be an incredibly important component to the flow and success to these TF2 tournaments we have here. I will never be able to thank him enough for coming out to these events, even when he had to struggle to take off of work or even when he hurt his leg. Things would be much more difficult without him, but instead, he makes my already stressful weekend a hell of a lot easier.

The women's bathroom had three stalls, while the men's bathroom had one stall and one urinal. We switched the signs because there's like <10 women.

I'm so exhausted and tired, but it was worth it. A massive thanks to everyone who came out. It was an amazing time and I can't wait for the next time.

All of you are awesome.

Final reminder that teams must be paid ($60 per team) by 10:30 AM Saturday morning.

Please pay tonight if you can, or early tomorrow. Please don't wait until last minute.

No stream this year, but ideally for next year.

No, but they are much more comfortable than the free chairs.

Also, I want to make sure that everyone is aware that signups will end at 10:30 AM on Saturday morning. Tournament will start at 11 AM. Register your team with me.

edit: for clarity, this is strictly for the TF2 tournament. You can still show up to the LAN whenever you want.

We are in Hall E this year. All other halls are occupied by some RV show, lol.

I'm on the way to the venue now. I'll check the thread periodically throughout the event, but if you have any questions, hit me up on Steam or through the RGB LAN Discord (found on the RGB website).

Or, yanno, just come talk to me at the event if you're already there. :3

I wish you did too ._.

I think it's a mixture of bad luck and bad timing. A lot of the top teams have mostly consistent rosters and such. Even when there have been vacancies, he might have been edged out by a soldier with more experience within the top 3 teams. You could say it might have been about politics more than performance at that point.

If Froyo or Mixup picked up Marm years ago, I think you'd see him appear more frequently on top 3/4 rosters. His closest shot at that was when he rang for Froyo during the last GXL LAN and won, beating Ascent and 20b.
