When I was newer, one of the best things about ESEA was that I could find a couple friends and watch an STV with them and try to learn from the game. I want to make this season's LAN finals into a full on event for newbie mix players.

What I want is on Saturday and Sunday we have channels where players can talk and watch the LAN and maybe even be in mumble with some more experienced players to try and analyze what is happening at LAN and hopefully make this season's LAN into a learning event rather than just pure entertainment. The biggest thing that I want to make happen that won't happen otherwise is the ability of new players to watch an STV and ask a more experienced player questions about what they are watching. Streams and casts are AMAZING but it doesn't help much with learning if you have a question about something a caster said, or if the caster ignored or missed an event that you think is important. I want to make a place where there is communication both ways so that players can interact with the games they watch rather than just view them.

I'm opening doors to anyone who would like to help/participate with this event. Hopefully we can do this for every match and I'm going to be focusing on these rather than running newbie mix pugs for the weekend. Please reply to this post if you have any comments or suggestions, and message me on Steam if you are interested in doing something particular for these.

I would be willing to play highlander but not if teamspeak is involved :p

I like tf2, hit me up.

True, but I'm pretty sure pyyyour has showed up the most among LAN attendees, and br0 did the two events/workshops. I know hero and alfa were there too but honestly I can't keep track of everyone that shows up :p

I wish I was there when cyzer was around too because brown people have to stick together.

Not really though...

Cheering for Br0 and mix^ both because some of their members contributed a lot to newbie mixes.

The problem with that is that you are counting on your med to escape from the smallest door on mid. I have seen it work, but I'd rather take my chances in an open area than a tiny door/room with no chance of escaping if everything goes to hell.

I just wanna say that I think general discussion is the wrong place for this. Recruitment would probably be better.

It looks like it works like those stats programs that are in some pubs but it gives you more real time information about the current game. If I'm understanding correctly, you can see K, A, D, damage and other stats of each player real time.

If the data is detailed enough I tihnk this could actually help teams because in a scrim they could say things like "Oh, we're doing x wrong because y stat is half of the other team's".

Browny is right though, it's not all that different from ghosting.

Real time stats could actually help a lot in scrims. This would be interesting if it became a thing. I honestly thought it was a complete joke halfway through...

Skip to 6 minutes. Then listen for 30 seconds.

That's the whole video.

alias fm_default "-attack; alias +fire +attack; alias -fire -attack"
alias fm_medigun "+attack; alias +fire -attack; alias -fire +attack"

This fixes the auto heal too. I have it turned on, and this script makes the delay disappear. It feels exactly as the default, but you don't have to hold down M1 all the time. It is super easy to use.

Also, I use this:

alias "randomvoice” "random1"
alias "random1" "voicemenu 2 1;alias randomvoice random2"
alias "random2" "voicemenu 2 2;alias randomvoice random3"
alias "random3" "voicemenu 2 3;alias randomvoice random4"
alias "random4" "voicemenu 2 4;alias randomvoice random5"
alias "random5" "voicemenu 2 5;alias randomvoice random6"
alias "random6" "voicemenu 2 6;alias randomvoice random7"
alias "random7" "voicemenu 2 7;alias randomvoice random8"
alias "random8" "voicemenu 1 3;alias randomvoice random9"
alias "random9" "voicemenu 1 4;alias randomvoice random10"
alias "random10" "voicemenu 1 5;alias randomvoice random1"
alias randomizer "randomvoice"
bind e randomizer
random1
alias maskuber "randomvoice;say_team "CHARGE READY!""

bind MOUSE2 "+attack2; uber"
alias uber "say_team UBER IN but it's probably fading by the time you are done reading this"

For uber masking, but you can edit it a lot more than I did. Mine is pretty weird.

Also, if you are planning to play med in HL at all, rename your medigun.

Will be available for tryouts Monday-Wed this week.

I get these stutters too, but I also get FPS 20 a lot. Basically anytime someone shoots me my game freezes. It was almost unplayable today (if anyone was in Soap or MGE with me in the past 2 hours you'd probably notice).

I think I might try think's config....but I feel like that's not the only problem.

Everytime I see pics of Ques I am reminded of his excellent fashion.

Also, for some reason, Huff looks almost exactly as I imagined him. He definitely looks like someone who works in the food business.

I'm not sure if this scares or inspires me.
