Memes aside here's what actually happened (not sure why no one asked me, didn't realize there was even gonna be an article)
I'm going to Amsterdam for 2 months to study abroad again, not tryna play med on a laptop with povety WiFi and 150 ping (not to mention time zones which would make me play matches starting at 5am) so I told the boys I'd step down before playoffs. Had a great season together and just came off an Epic LAN Win, so there's obviously no hard feelings or beef in any way. Meyy is a super dedicated player who I always thought had mad potential and will make an excellent addition to the team, especially given his aggressive playstyle and chemistry with sandblast from playing with him on faint. I'm super excited to see what they can pull off in playoffs, the boys are gonna turn some heads for sure.

Personally I'm really bummed I won't be able to play but I decided in the spring that I would go back to Amsterdam because it was such an awesome experience last summer, and my best friend from school is going with me. Was a hard decision but I wanted to take the opportunity to do so because it would probably be my last chance as next year is my last of college.

Unfortunately because RGL seems to be scheduled to start almost right after ESEA grand finals this season in July, and I'll be in Europe till the end of August, I won't be able to play next season either. Would have loved to play with the Ford boys again but looks like I'm gonna have to take a bit of a break from TF2, which is probably a good thing in the long run so I can focus on school and real life. That said, I am hoping to go to he next RGB in the fall which is supposed to be big, so look out for a potential Ford revamp to hit the road in search for a second LAN championship....

i want him to eat a bug :( #bugz4sandblast
cat food and an egg is a good start tho

not gonna lie i got pretty triggered by the fact that on every other page it moves the 'agree' option from the left to the right and back like why not just keep it consistent so people don't accidentally do the wrong one lmao

holy laz brain :O

thank god sandblast didnt do bans for either of our matches this week so we get to play propaganda vs the only team that knows how to play that map :)

is there an easy fix for recommended net settings?
i.e., what ratio would be best for interp 0.033 (hitscan) vs 0.0152 (projectile)

edit: whoops i typo'd yea meant .0303 (30.3 lerp not 33)

Somebody needs to master the urethra...

Directional Dinosaurs is quite a legendary map...

ultidickl is unironically a sick gamemode i might just play on a poverty wifi laptop with 130 ping from europe

big shoutout to SteinerW for saving the day letting us use one of his extra PC's, ur a lifesaver

shoutouts to my teammates obviously for being the homies and playing super well on lan, everyone definitely pulled their own weight and had their own crazy moments
despite all the technical difficulties, arguing/tilt, and shitty comms, we put it behind us and were able to focus up and clean up our play, really amazing to play on a team with an ability to do that and work together so well

Big shtinky noob rikachu pwned epically yet again

Apparently the rentals don't come with Ethernet cables, can anyone let me borrow one for lan? The one I have at home isn't long enough and doesn't even have the little lock things to secure it so it'd probably get knocked out at lan lmao
edit: thx console
