IMO the biggest problem with the update is that kritz may see significantly less use.

I'm not sure kritz soldiers is the solution because generally if the other team has figured out you are running kritz, they're going to be too far back for kritz to be effective. they'll pull back and then come back in with uber.

I haven't played this situation yet so I'm not sure if kritz sniping the med is actually impacted that much, just the biggest problem I foresee being possible at this point

are the new rockets practically invisible to anybody else

okay the parachute and black box is fun as shit

this is pretty much true of pipes at close range

Pipes? If you're buffed and near your medic, the self damage won't matter. If you need to get multiple close range kills and aren't near your medic, you're probably over extended or out of position.

Or if you're alone with your medic and therefore aren't being helped by your pocket or a scout...you're also out of position.

I think you're missing something...demoman is not supposed to be strong at close range. That's deliberately a weakness of the class as it is one of (if not the) the strongest mid and long range classes.

Not saying I like the change but your argument is not a good one

Colorado is the best place in america, you'll make new friends and be okay

keep in touch though

No set cutoff, can buy tickets at the door if they don't sell out. Nick said he would let us know well before it sells out if it looks like it might.

You can always buy a ticket and get a refund up until two weeks (I think) before the event.

What does when a "server is assigned" mean? Is that when it's initially scheduled or when whatever automated system actually sets up the server like a half hour before?

I think rosters being locked the day of a match would be reasonable (so they have to join the roster the day before a match).

Except for the fact that traveling to LANs is expensive and I find it quite possible that traveling to Philly (of course, who knows where LANs post S5 will be) may end up being on average more expensive. Seems like the bottom three teams will come out in the red while even the 4th place team at ESEA broke even (approximately).

I believe this is a huge positive for the community but we will need a couple more seasons to see if there will always be a LAN and how much the prize pot grows. Maybe the crowdfunding will be big this season and that alone could help.

Well, except the prize pot disparity (which could also go away, eventually).

nahhhhh carpooling that far isn't worth it without more people bby

if you've parallel parked once in your life you should pass with flying colors

seriously

I'm out unless radium's carpool ends up happening. Flying will not fit in my budget this summer.
