The prize pool has been updated with the additional serveme.tf premium codes, generously donated by Arie! I edited the original post regarding that, and included the list of participants that have signed up so far.

The organisation was mainly based on your tournaments so thank you!

Oh look, the ultiduo boy is here!

With BIG seasons imminent both for ETF2L and ESEA and plethora of emotions to fill the otherwise dull daily routine, I hereby announce the next Ultimate Ultiduo tournament - mostly inspired by numerous requests of participants in the last tournament for me to host another one! We have medals, we have EssentialsTF to stream it, but most importantly - we have a sponsor - Mannco.Store!

You can immediately sell your TF2 items on Mannco.Store totally safely, for real money!

This thread just gets better and better

No

aw

It's literally a second 7 team with 2 different players.

I can view game info now lol what..

Anyway, thanks!

Is it just me or we can no longer (again) view game info from friends list?

I think this answered the question

Don't be self conscious when playing is a rule number one. I've tried to start flicking less myself and I've noticed there are a few factors irl as well - if I play for the first time but early in the day for example, I'd flick like I have 1cm/360 and I can't stop it, but if I'm tired at the evening and launch tf2, the same sensitivity feels perfect which allows me to aim as softly as I'd like to. Ultimately, you can try to play a jump map for a few minutes just to start aiming more precisely. In my experience, the most consistent players don't play like they have Parkinson, but would just snap quickly and aim smoothly. Flicking is for those mad shots you have to hit in 0.5 seconds and that's why you see it so much in 6s, but the best advice I can give you is to play the way you have always played and don't change sensitivity or huds etc., stick to what you are used to and progress will happen naturally.

why are THE CAPS in the TITLE?

EDIT: Most of you would probably think I'm being extremely egocentric, but I applaud the more perspicacious of you who would notice that I simply dispute allegations against myself in the way they have been made in the first place, and that has always been the case before. The majority that lack self-assessment or simply forget how they word their accusations and play as innocent are worth pitying.

We are all here because we play(ed) TF2. People have different incentives to play the game - for some it is 6s, for others - highlander. There is barely anything to motivate me to play nowadays - I've only recently found some motivation in playing bball because that's the only gamemode I meet any competition in because I haven't played it as much as ultiduo or MGE yet (I'm not ranting). I'll be honest - Cyanic's videos are not bad, they are basic but clear, slowly transitioning into the more complex waters of editing, emphasis on slowly, but, nonetheless, good enough to appeal the public eye. That is probably his incentive to stick around TF2, and it is just simple psychology to target what somebody values to hurt them - that's what he did (to an extent) and that's what I did in return. The case with you, twiku, is similar - you believe that your contribution to TF2 is enough for you to stand above someone else, and hurting your ego would be the most effective to trigger you, but I will try a different method this time, as my current technique has proved to have caused more hatred than initiated, which, thinking about it now, is not really surprising.

I'm sorry that I have to break it down to you, twiku, but you are not involved in something crazy. You may be putting countless hours of effort to organise events and platforms, but they are for TF2. I'm sure you do it because you like to do it, but in that case, do not bring it up as something people should praise or worship you for. It is true - I'm just a player, I haven't contributed much for TF2, I made a tournament and I'm planning to announce a second one in a few days because I like doing it, and I'm seeking competition. I'm just playing because that's what a game is for. Saying I'm 'beyond useless' sounds really wrong, you just need to realise why.

I hope you reflected on my brief psychological analysis even if the negative parts do not appeal to you. I just wanted you to see how you come off to people when you involve personal achievements, but also make sure you realise that you are wrong within your arguments and also the way you word them. I believe Cyanic initiates these beefs (He's done it before too) simply because he wants to look like a good fun in front of the others, seeking attention - often associated with lack of such in personal aspect, but it is entirely his problem if the way he is planning to attract viewers' eyes involves poor, unfounded insults. Instead of copying his behaviour by fancying it with a bit of vocabulary that he might not possess, in order to get involved in the same circlejerk, why not look everything from an outsider's view? You are better than that.

Going through a bunch of comments that consist of links to demos sounds like a very interesting activity! If you have a follow up comment then use your modest amount of brain cells and edit your original post, don't do unnecessary mental gymnastics to come up with stupid ways to insult someone. You can also preserve this energy for your editing, it would be a pleasure to see a product of yours that, for once, does not scream "I'm just past the tutorial for Movie Maker"
