Hello,

With the current regular season of ESEA coming to an end and with the fact that I'm boring myself to death not starting in a team I figured I'd make a looking thread.

I'm looking to play in a CEVO team next season, skill level hopefully near ESEA high open. I can scrim every night at least 2 hours and I hope to be in a team that could scrim at least 4 days a week.

If CEVO releases a pay to play tf2 division then I'd like to play there, but if that doesn't happen I'm happy to play anywhere but ESEA.

Past experience:

ESEA Open S13 Point n Click (6-10)
ESEA Open S14 Donde (9-7)

Then took a break for S15 and backed up for Build A Morin Workshop while playing in a UGC 6s team with friends

I would like to play scout but I'm also fond of medicing. Add me up and lets discuss.

edit: found a team :D
edit 2: NVM, team disbanded, looking again

I think this scene defined "awkwardness" for movies

gib key pls

I know someone who quit tf2, uninstalled the game, and then reinstalled it the same day. He was yelling at us in mumble to wait for his game to finish reinstalling before we started scrimming.

are there any fees or prizes?

I think the point you don't get about the difference between the ESEA client and other programs mason, is that any software you install in your computer has potential access to your stuff, including your OS, your antivirus, your hardware drivers, your word processing tools, hell even your favorite pdf reader. What differences all of this software from ESEA's client is that not one of this programs have used my CPU to mine bitcoins without my consent.

are we all just ignoring the fact that tri is back and posting?

I've stated my position before of why I can't go back to ESEA and nowhere in that wall of text did you address it squid. Malware.

They installed software with the potential to access your computer whenever they want, can you really say there is no evidence that they didn't do anything malicious after they mined thousands of dollars out of bitcoins with your computer? Why are you separating both features of the client, like: "bitcoins was one malicious thing, backdoor was another malicious thing, there is only evidence of the bitcoins activity, which didin't affect us, so it's fine".
If they did touch our computers to mine bitcoins that gives me all the reason to believe they could use the backdoor whenever they want.

What's the point if they're just banning the people that's bringing it up, see Fzero and StPatrick.

it's not safe here

Damn it TwitchTVJohn, I really do want to believe that ESEA will change and that they will stop screwing their customers over. Because truth be told, ESEA has been the best option of a league that we have had so far. We were all happy at the beginning of the season for the add to the prize pool and the creation of the Main division. As you describe, all of the features that ESEA has have positioned them way ahead as a legitimate league to play, and they have a good space for tf2 that we can use.

But they crossed a line and enough is enough. I cannot accept to be involved with a company that apparently has access to my computer even when their client is supposed to be off, and that when is asked by their CUSTOMERS to explain the situation they just decide to ban them. Many people that plays in ESEA are not kids, me included, I have a job, I have professional responsibilities, I have access to sensitive information of both the company where I work and their users, and I can't take the risk of allowing ESEA's client to potentially have access to such information for the sake of my personal hobby. Sure, they haven't done anything malicious, but what if they do? what am I gonna explain to my superiors and my customers? "Ammm.. yea, I was playing videogames and someone stole my files while I was going ham".

Sorry but I can't allow that. For my part I will try my best for another league to become the house of our game, because I believe that we should not go back to ESEA and because I believe that the competitive scene can still exist without ESEA.

please let me know how can I help. I can put in at least 10 hours of work a week for the next 4 months to help in this process

As much as we all want to keep playing competitive the same way we have been playing it until now, I think something is getting clear by now, many of us simply won't be playing in ESEA next season (out of the question). And those of us who want to keep playing the game anyway will simply join another league.

We can decide which league to join as a community and hope that the competition will be just as good as it has been (or better), or we can all go our own ways and hope that the scene don't die.

Consider me too, I can code and organize. You don't even understand how much I love this game.

there should be about 500 players registered in ESEA not counting backups considering the number of teams in the different divisions.

team leaders please show this poll to your oblivious teammates so we can have a representative amount of votes. anything less than 250 votes and we will accomplish nothing more than "this season's threads complaining about ESEA".
