ESEA has been providing TF2 with a league to play in for 15 seasons, how many of them did you participate in?

I love all races tyvm!

Don't blink I think is someones name. Try to include your mock tag too if possible.

So i'm keeping the roster from Quantum Flux from last season. I'm not sure if I want to keep the same name since I usually come up with the super serious names instead of the fun names. I could use some help if anyone has any good suggestions. So far the best our team has come up with is "Grandiose" and I don't know how i'd even turn that into a tag.

Names that i've happened to like are:

NIL8 - Annihilate
AoN - All or Nothing
KiN - the Kindred
Veni Vidi Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered)
Mind over Matter

Ya, idk. Help please.

Looking for an experienced player with flexible availability to play in main this season.

- Need to be able to play Mon-Thurs 10-11:30PM est.

Roamer:
- Preferably someone experienced with good game sense and dm.
- Someone hungry to improve and create synergy on the flank who wants to become apart of the core for the long haul.

Medic:
- Can't be quiet. Must keep track of ubers and have good calls on positioning.
- Really need someone who isn't afraid of their death count as long as you're getting the heals out that you need to win the fight.

Current roster:

Medic or Roamer: blinK
Pocket: TicTack
Demo: ChrizTahFah
Scout: Sherman Gluck
Scout: Romeo Love

Add me on steam if you fit the description and want to get in a few scrims. /blinkyboy

Please unban powah from your leagues so he can stop head shotting me in critical moments, and then you will get a very loud "YES!" from me for my interest in SA. If he's been playing here for 10 seasons without being banned then he shouldn't be banned from your community.

You can go from zero to hero over night. It's about the time you put into getting better as a team. Meat market was just a season old I believe and now they're in main. You get the right core in place, really learn the game through practice and demo review, and you control your own destiny. That's how it is in a lot of games. If you don't put in the time you will get shit stomped. If you do put in the time you'll at the very least have competitive matches. Get a mentor and stay focused on certain goals. If it's your first season i'd say your goal should be to survive til the end and get into the playoffs. That'd be a successful season and it's definitely doable. There's always 1-2 powerhouse teams but there's 16 teams who get to playoffs. "Before you can learn to succeed you must first learn how to lose" - Great quote by somebody.

I happen to agree with everything marma's saying. He's being even more blunt than I am which is pretty blunt, but I can respect that.

We're not saying CEVO is bad or CAN'T be better than ESEA.. But the key word here is in time. As of right now it's not the premier league for competitive tf2. Maybe after a few seasons of working out the kinks and getting things together it will be. As of right now there's absolutely no good reason to switch leagues. Play in both if you have time too. I think ESEA should still come first, it's still our bread and butter, and still our LAN and exposure ticket.

We have some of the best people in our community getting the CEVO thing kick started which of course is creating a lot of urgency but it's just not the right time yet. I have faith in them that they can create a league that is better than ESEA they just have to make it come to fruition before we just dismiss the best league we do have. ESEA isn't a perfect system by any means, and as many people know I was more pissed than anyone about what happened with the client. Doesn't change the fact that it's still the stable of our competitive community and needs to stay that way for the time being to salvage the real competition that's still alive.

Good up and coming med, willing to learn.

No no Bradley i'm running with tic, chriz, sherm and romeo in main home boyy! Ya digg?

In other news: I'm glad killing stepped it up with the promotions which will make it even easier for new teams to start out. Go gettem!

People freaking out and running to CEVO for no reason. People fuck up sometimes, it's fixable though. It's not the end-all. It doesn't change the fact that ESEA is still our best league and to let it die is dumb and going to really hurt the community. Stop believing in pipe dreams thinking the same top players will be around in 3 seasons hoping cevo turns into esea. ESEA is already here lets focus on ESEA improving. It IS ESEA's fault that this backlash happened but after 15 seasons I think we should give them an opportunity to rid their client of malware and continue providing top level competition. Which they've been doing. Killing has to deal with so much shit if we worked with him instead of against him, things can always get better.

Like I said last season we made it to the grand finals in cevo playing huntsman sniper and spy. It was fun for a change of pace. When it comes down to it though i'd rather play in ESEA for the competition.

Sports are physical games. Some people can't play due to injury, age, etc. Computer games are different. There's not a lot to hold you back except yourself. You can be competitive even in a pub server but if you want to compete with the best in 6's this is your opportunity.

CEVO isn't new. It has a worse history than ESEA. It could become the premier league in time but the time isn't now only because it still requires a lot to be done. Shit happens, nothing is perfect, things happen in every division (look at pyours team last season, no exceptions. remember?). You do the best you can to compromise and make it work. And ESEA is still the best league to play in at this moment for many different reasons.

Yeah it comes out to 12 cents a day. I know it's steeeeeeep!

Say it in your own words. It's important even if it's already been said.
