I think it might be a good idea for someone to get some shit set up first before you drop 6k on video games. You could fly people out to a Lan for that much.

ScarfHey look, more effects. It's ok my 20 fps can take another hit.
To be fair these look like phong tweaks so nothing too drastic
I am fucking tired of my OCD forcing me to make a glowy soldier. I can't wait to drop another $90 on this game

The ESEA abuse thread

It's not a divide between invite and the other divs. It's a divide between UGC and ESEA. Every single player playing ESEA over UGC chooses the poorly run/evil/overpriced league with LAN.
I try to play in ESEA because UGC has a lower skill level than ESEA. I've been here for a couple seasons though so I'm not the best example I guess
Alleal
I would love to see the community turn this energy and make an awesome league out of it. But nothing is going to happen unless you all get over the idiotic blind rage at ESEA and stop declaring yourselves against every single thing ESEA has to offer, even if it's vital to a successful competitive league.
No one is against what ESEA has to offer. They just hate that they aren't focused on TF2 and that they tried to NSA people.
Alleal
None of you would be playing in ESEA if it didn't have prize pots and a LAN. Stop pretending you'd play in a free league when there's an alternative with prizes.
Half of the invite and Main teams would actually lose less money each season in a free league, so they'd probably want to play in a free league with the same skill divide as ESEA. Playing ESEA for the money/prizes is retarded because the time/reward ratio is ridiculously skewed. It's so much more efficient to just get a job and pub TF2 more if you want to just get cool stuff and play video games
Alleal
How many fucking times have we done this? ESEA does something stupid and everyone gets mad and then circlejerks in a thread about how they should get a new league because they certainly aren't in it for the check and anyone that is must be an ESEA loving scumbag and why haven't we already made our own?
This is probably going to fizzle out in about 5 days, which is gonna suck. But one day maybe we can get a better league going, and if nothing else it might hopefully pique the interest of UGC/CEVO/ETF2L. If enough players started to jump ship to other leagues, even if it was only 20-30% of upper level teams, we'd see a dramatic divide in the community that could snowball into everyone leaving ESEA. Most people don't really give a shit what league they're in, they just want to get out of ESEA
Alleal
Surprise guys, money has a greater impact on the game than what a handful of players in each div get in their mail each month. Money means commitment and competition, and that's what we play for. LAN is the pinnacle each player strives towards. Without these things you get UGC, which you all obviously aren't satisfied with.
Minus frag away
Money may be a huge motivator, and it definitely is a huge reason that some people bother to finish seasons, it isn't like ESEA is the only league that could charge money for playing.
AllealMoney is the reason everyone chooses to play ESEA over UGC. Pretending otherwise is stupid.
Um no, I like ESEA because I get to scrim 5-6 nights a week, compared to the usual 2-3 of a UGC team. Money is a non-issue in Open, and Main is the only Div where money can really be made. I doubt many people started playing TF2 3 years ago with the intent of joining the then nonexistent second highest div and pocketing $100 every 4 months

A season or two into it would probably go over better. I don't know that a lot of people are just gonna drop ESEA and pay into another brand new league. Whichever league ends up with the most players is the one that's gonna come out on top, and a fee alienates a lot of players

blinK This isn't about religion it's about us getting toyed with by people who had no right too. My anger just pointed out that they're jewish and obviously money hungry in the harshest way possible.
blinK
All of the owners of ESEA are all jewish. Levine, Thunberg, etc.

What if instead of paying for premium, we all just donated to get people to a LAN?
This comes back to where just flat dropping ESEA is gonna sting. Until we have a league that can support a LAN, people at the top are gonna want to play ESEA. Just focus on getting people out of ESEA over time, not just killing LAN as a whole.

You don't actually have to quit ESEA next season. If you just got a bunch of IM or Invite players to join a league, play the matches, and take it seriously alongside ESEA, you'd have a good baseline to draw in new customers who aren't being spied on. Forcing everyone to drop ESEA in one season is almost impossible, but convincing half the teams in Main and IM to try out a new league, which runs the same maps as ESEA in the same week, would let people migrate, and give time for the new league to build itself up while we still have an alternative with a LAN.

HildrethA serious suggestion if you really only value ESEA for it's LAN - Why not make one of your local LAN events (GXL, ETS) or something an i-series equivalent? There was that recent one which had a lot of attending players, now if you do it perhaps during the summer, it will attract a bigger audience and allow NA scene to have a "must-do" LAN and as a community we can fund your best teams there and maybe one day Euros and Australians. I-series didn't become such a big deal in Europe because Americans attended, it was still THE LAN and it was all down to the community turnout at i40 and i43 surpassing anything we'd ever seen before.
Of course, having a regular LAN decider is a big thing for the scene, we'd love it in Europe despite having the summer i-series. Hence why a lot of the top teams signed up for ESEA in the hope that by sticking to it, we can see something similar appear eventually.
The shear cost of transporting people across the US makes it much more difficult. I'm not 100% on how your infrastructure is in EU, but over here almost all long distance travel is by plane.

ParagonIs it time for a legitimate discussion about what it would take to create and run another league(assuming through tf.tv) yet?
A league is a spreadsheet, a banlist, and some form of anticheat. None of these are particularly hard to do, but to do them to the same degree and quality as ESEA would be a bit of a bitch. You would get points for not spying on people though.

I can't wait to read 30 pages of anger and then have everyone play in ESEA instead of UGC or CEVO next season again.

MerchantreillyThat's a pretty impressive first place for main.
Yeah, arguably too big. Why would you want to play invite where you lose money expect if you place 1st, 2nd or maaaybe 3rd when you can make 200$ each in main?
why would you play tf2 for the money? $200 a season is like $.10 an hour over a season

Don't drift away from one parent because the other one is softer on you. My mom never pushed me and I stopped talking to my dad so it's been like 3 years since I've seen him :(
