We've considered organizing Highlander in some way at CG2020, but (for this event) we don't want to force people to pick which tournament they want to play in.

Perhaps when TF2 would actually proper Tier 1 and 2 teams to play for actual prizes and the Tier 3 and below teams would still keep the option to play Highlander. We'll see what 2020 brings and what we can do for 2021!

Which platform? Android/iOS, or on desktop/laptop?

Guess we won't be seeing b4nny at Copenhagen Games 2020, his loss for missing out on a top tier EU LAN event ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Props on linking a 6 year old VOD (August 2013) where a weapon got unbanned the week of the ESEA LAN, so there was no practice with or against it, and having been changed since: most importantly:

• December 17, 2015
  - Players can no longer capture objectives while under the effects of Quick-Fix ÜberCharge.
  
• July 7, 2016
  - Changed attributes: ÜberCharge rate reduced to +10% (from +25%)

Thing is that even after those changes it has been tested once or twice in cups, if at all, and even if it wasn't considered a viable option still kept banned, leaving it as a non viable choice for any medic and limiting them only to über or kritz.

@sage bullet sponges = vaccinator, which is also banned

I feel offclassing is under utilized, it's mostly seen on last defenses, sentries/heavies popping up, sniper trying to hold angles, very rarely you see an offclass pushing last that isn't a spy or sniper when a team gets desperate or bored of suiciding in and stalemating. An engie pushing with a lvl 3 is considered toxic, but it allows the other players on the team to keep moving forward and have some backup on a failed push.

But also unlocks used on the 'regular' classes are too ingrained, you rarely see kritz ran, every demoman uses iron bomber these days, barely see any quickie-bomb launchers clearing stickies from points or even soldiers running banners.

The refusal to allow any unlocks which could speed up the game even more (disciplinary action, quick-fix) that could make trying to run other classes viable is imo dumb. The sheer fear of a possible heavy to mid when a pyro with the current whitelist can already show up with backburner and thermal thruster + powerjack at the same time...

It is probably the fact that if one team starts running offclasses you are also forced to rock-paper-scissors to counter their offclass; and if your players are uncomfortable playing anything but all aim-no-brain scout, mge-only soldier and keep dying to the offclass they start tilting which doesn't improve comms to possibly hold or counter the offclass. Encounter a heavy on mid? Try to come up with a strat how to counter that, improve comms because of the enemy trying dumb shit you now know how to stop..

TLDR: Refusing to only play meta 2-2-1-1 is a legacy mindset; certain stalemates can be broken more easily with an offclass and/or unlock that are currently not used enough to surprise the enemy team. Refusing to scrim a team actually trying new things = dumb, that is what these practice games with 0 consequences should be for!

done

nice Ukrainian flag :>

Ehm: BTSTF2 2020, Copenhagen Games 2020, most likely i67, RGB5, Polish and Russian LANs will happen again.

Take a look at the closing post in the (in)famous thread and watch the BTS qualifiers instead of low quality shitposting for nerd stars.

#moderatorhelp on the TFTV discord or contact the league(s) that banned him, TFTV forums is definitely not the right place to middleman someone else's ban.

There are 'final score' events though which should have the correct amount of round wins per team set.

I know when teams swap sides (e.g. stopwatch mode) the red/blu won't match up with the correct team anymore though.

Link to http://logs.tf/uploader and after having the user set it once save it in a cookie/local storage or link it to a steam OpenID login.

Alternatively you could offer the option to upload with your API key with a checkbox to skip the manual upload to logs.tf

They are called '_dneg' versions in the TF2 files, so just inverting the color of the black/gray ones should suffice, which can even be done with CSS filters.

Alternatively, using the image with the white kill icons you already found as a image sprite with the coordinates and dimensions found in tf2_misc_dir.vpk /scripts/mod_textures.txt
