i explicitly reached out to the admins like a month ago telling them the roster before we had even tried out, cause I knew the restriction process would be a pain in the ass and take forever, and they gave us the go ahead with no other communication until we saw this announcement, so we all paid up for adv and then found out we're being forced to play in this despite missing players (as are the other teams lol such a stupid way to decide anything)

stuff like this is why so many old heads like me don't bother to play anymore, cause invite takes a ton of commitment and is stressful, and RGL makes so many weird decisions with advanced (randomly doing a 6 team playoffs, the cheater playoffs fiasco, etc) and makes it so difficult to figure out if you will even be able to play

i swear they want to do their absolute best to make people *not* want to play in their league, the process of hijacking a dead roster a few seasons ago was also a gigantic pain due to weird rules and restrictions, the more rules you have the more likely it is for them to be enforced in a biased or incorrect or poorly planned way, it's no coincidence that RGL has been riddled with issues and public backlash for so many years--my opinion is they're trying to do too much and should just step back and simplify things

id fill gullywash water up with water again and go for a dip

exciting to hear about the 6 week season, what exactly does the "voted in map" mean though, I don't see granary mentioned anywhere else, is it an alternative map you can pick on sultry week or something?

edit: also why has there been a LAN sustainability fee every season for the past few years despite only a single one happening

btw it would be nice to have a larger map pool than just the maps in the current RGL system so that people can play games on them and try them out (e.g., include all 3 koth even tho only 2 are in each season, include metal at least since it was just recently voted out, id say even granry/badlands cause people can just ban it if they don't want it, pugchamp had reckoner even which was interesting just for variety's sake--maybe do whichever major new maps are being considered)

Minor note but if the survey had "other (please specify)" as options for some of these questions it would be good, for example about class restrictions it may not be straightforward as "too lax" or "too tight" (or maybe just add "restrictions were inconsistent", which has been a common complaint and inherent problem with strict restrictions--it's super difficult to be objective about)

this thread sucks bring back via instead

bro are u stupid people aren’t forced to learn languages they choose to do so because of its utility in understanding popular culture or communicating with a larger group of people (both of which your meme language is lacking)

u cant actually be dying on this hill that “i was too stupid to learn spanish and also clearly don’t even fully understand english, therefore the entire world should learn this new language that i actually was successful in learning”

this is quite entertaining so i hope you don’t stop posting but for your own sake you might want to just find an esparanto forum or something lol you seem to be getting more and more frustrated/angry (see: increasing use of the word “fucking”) and are pretty much just subjecting yourself to public ridicule at this point (maybe after 5 more pages you will magically convince the entirety of the EU tf2 scene to learn your language but it seems Unlikely)

Awesome video, cool to hear about the top league play video idea as well. If you’re still looking for suggestions an iconic one that comes to mind is b4nny scout surfing behind sunshine spire and two shot dropping raymon I believe it was at i63.

I like the idea of team plays as well, I remember granary at that same lan I believe was captured literally in the last second of the tournament and I remember the crowd went crazy (showing video of stuff like that would be awesome as well, sort of give a glimpse into how exciting LAN finals can be)

Starkie had a crazy 3k backstab on badlands as well which was super impactful to a finals game, don’t remember which LAN it was though. If it’s possible to show things like “this was the winning play for an invite playoffs/LAN finals game” that would be super hype to see.

Bold of you to claim that you can comprehend english when you’ve failed to recognize sarcasm or accurately understand people’s arguments like 100+ times on these forums

Maybe if you can’t even type the characters without copy pasting it isn’t the most practical choice lol.

Also love the entire premise being “if everyone in Europe sinks over a year into learning this useless language, then they can *maybe* be slightly more efficient in communicating” without considering if it’s even something people want (calls are already extremely efficient, anyone who actually plays comp knows)

“Noooo this meme language I wasted my time learning can’t be useless, these players just don’t know what’s good for them!”

Also FYI you don’t need a citation to prove the points people are arguing against you, it’s just basic logic lol you’re supposed to argue against the ideas they are saying.
