nah i know that it doesn't make ruwin look bad, like i said it probably doesn't matter. Just seems like since its showing mixup in a bad light he might not have wanted to just go posting bad stuff about them on the forums. Not a big deal though.

I hope ruwin is cool with you just casually posting that but i guess it doesn't matter

"This apparently enraged the majority of Classic Mixup that all but one member removed him from his Steam friend's list."

wait what lol

DotA 2 has over 100 heroes, that doesn't mean it's meant for 50 vs 50. Minor tweaks could allow for 9 classes to be relevant in 6v6.

Of course tf2 can be as good and dynamic, but the solution isn't to force unrealistic expectations by comparing the ever changing meta of dota2 to tf2. TF2 is an fps game and while there is more to the game than just hitting shots and coordinated plays (team fights and mids) thats the most entertaining aspect of the game and it should be the focus.

We are trying to bridge the gap for pubbers and comp players right? It's not like there is some ever changing meta in pubs that we just don't have in competitive play. Dota2's meta just seems so irrelevant to me when it comes to TF2/FPS games.

I wanna buy you an apple pie at lan

Also..

DotA2 is a completely different genre that attracts a different audience. I'm all for taking the best parts of successful esport games and applying it to TF2, but I really don't think the game could match dota2's ever changing meta even if we used 9v9 HL.

Wouldn't using 6v6 with highlander format accomplish the unlock testing? Limit of 1 of each class, you would have 2 offclassers. Spy/eng/heavy/sniper/pyro would have a lot of play time and banning/picking unlocks would still be relevant.

I get that we need the pub -> competitive transition to be seamless, but lets not pretend that match making all pick is anywhere near the same game as captains mode with competitive teams in DotA 2.

I feel like we could figure out some way to make unlocks and all 9 classes relevant in 6v6 and that would provide strategic variety, stats for picks/bans that would allow valve to tweak unlocks, familiarity for pub players, and it would still be 6v6 aka a feasible LAN esport.

are you watching fullscreen on tf.tv? for whatever reason i have that same problem when i'm on tf.tv, but when I watch on twitch it's fine.

I don't want to get any of the details wrong but from what I know he kept a large chunk (if not all) the money raised from the raffle for himself rather than reimbursing the players on br0 for hotel/flights.

Blaze for example is out 1k~ for his flight and our hotel, but was ignored by zak for a few weeks before finally zak just removed him and stopped answering texts.

I get that you met him and hes a cool guy but I don't know if you should be blindly defending him.

can I have your benq in exchange for the use of br0 tag?

I have the same cpu but i have 4gb ram and I'm on windows 7. New ram/os won't help, 640x480 or a new computer is the only solution.

A Song of Ice and Fire series. It makes Game of Thrones the show look like trash imo.

Then when you finish the series go to reddit.com/r/asoiaf to find all the amazing shit you missed on the first read through. Don't go there till finished with the series obviously.
