It could be video memory (which Shadowplay definitely makes plenty use of), what GPU do you have?

If you want to push it as far as using server mods, it should be possible to raise the max as long as FCVAR_REPLICATED doesn't fuck with that, which I doubt it does.
I know there's a generic SourceMod plugin that lets you change ConVar flags (mainly used to disable the sv_cheats requirement) but I'm not sure if there's one that lets you fuck with default/min/max, I'm gonna start looking, otherwise it should be fairly easy to implement.

What I'm getting at is, if this is wanted, it can be achieved. Most likely.

EDIT: sm_cvar was the command I was thinking about, according to docs it doesn't respect min/max bounds, I'll try this locally.

I'm quoting a post asking "Why do you think it's successful?" and bringing up the reason why I think it's successful.

What the fuck am I supposed to respond to that? "Yes, I said that there's nothing wrong with that and I think there's nothing wrong with that"?

shut fuck up and let me complain ye?

RGL 7v and HL catered to UGC HL players at a time where nothing new had happened in months/years.
Sigafoo has been aggressive advertising his leagues both on Reddit and TFTV, especially targeting newbies asking where to get started playing competitive. There's nothing wrong with that, don't get me wrong, but it's obviously been a big factor in its success, similarly TF2PL achieved a lot of signups because of the constant advert that was on top of the TF2 directory on Twitch. I don't believe any other organizer has ever advertised beyond announcements, ESEA doesn't even get that far.
I'm not saying the service is shit, it's just obvious that what he keeps bringing up (My Ideas are successful!) is completely disingenuous at best. Maybe he doesn't realize that, I'm sure I could fool myself just the same if I was in his situation.
I'm willing to be disproved but I never see this point being brought up and I feel it should be shared.

Also, to sigafoo, I'm still waiting on that data analysis and any sort of answer to my queries on reddit from a while back, it seems you kinda gave up when you managed to convince yourself that "Well, this isn't complete aids!", which is a shame.

Actually, technical note to Sigafoo and whoever helps with the web development:
As sexy as subdomains are, having a lot of cross-domain links completely kills the user experience because of the additional delay, my school intra-net had a setup like this and crossing a domain would take over 5 seconds, it was honestly unbearable. It's not just a matter of having high quality servers with low response times, crossing a domain requires the browser to drop the current connection, call DNS, initate a new one, do the SSL handshake, etc.
I recall Sigafoo mentioning RGL was getting revamped at some point, please drop the subdomains in that version.

(It's ESEA S31 + Solemn Vow, have fun NA)

I'm upset this season was even released
Episode 1 was okay but had no depth, the editing was gross during the in-game fight scenes, the resolution was shit
Episode 2 was really really well acted by Andrew Scott and Damson Idris. I'm not pleased with the writing although the conversation between Chris and Billy Bauer is quite cheeky and appreciable, then the writing goes to complete shit because they had to rush the end
Episode 3 had me cringing but I think Brooker means he ran out of inspiration just like Ashley O did! xd And that he needs a change of tune and if that's the case he probably should stop writing Black Mirror in my honest opinion. The end was also extremely laughable and almost relatable to a Niel Breen movie
Probably won't check out S06 if it ever comes out

This is the article that will make VALVe react. I believe
