$20k or something online tourney

potentially one for EU, one for NA

while it's not the premium lan you'd expect off dota/cs an online tourney relieves them of all the major costs/headaches of lans. $20k is simultaneously nothing compared to what valve makes and i'd wager could probably come from tf2's earnings itself without requiring other investments while also being the biggest prize pool in the game's history.

official endorsement/investment of community 6s by valve would make many more players interested in high level comp

im a compsci student does that count or do you need someone whos actually contributing to society

try running the command

"ping -t www.google.com"

if you're on windows. ive seen this issue before if you're on wifi, where basically no packets transfer for a fraction of a second every few seconds and all action in game stops. if that sounds like what you're having, you should be able to catch them with that ping command. note that it pings every second so it'll likely take a few cycles to catch it, and you should be able to see a spike to 200ms. net_graph 3/4 should also show a fat hole in the graph too i think

consider that stabby's sens/fov zoom script is perfectly allowed, the ugc rules on custom stuff like that is pretty lenient

ill take any crates you have if no-one else wants them :^)

no cases tho those are for gays

i too keep hot twinks in my seecrit box

NA looks to have loads of players and no captains whenever i go and have a look, would probably help if people stop shitting on them in pug chat after every draft

you just gotta play slower and more carefully. be constantly aware of the sniper and its fine to push the way obviously out of the sniper's sightline (unless their combo is close some other place). pressure flank more and maybe rotate heals there to get a pick. otherwise make sure to not let their sniper get in too far by spamming entrances when you have to hold far back

dude played pocket and got 5% heals, 5-31 and was recommended to play a few seasons before coming back. think he got the message this time

idk many who are aids in every pug but some combinations are even worse than scorpion playing med

acab/lupus
doughy/war

im looking for chill games i can play while watching twitch or something

something like hearthstone (or other online ccgs) works but im looking for stuff like a turn-based strategy or some kind of single player rts without time pressure (e.g. factoryidle.com). something else that could work might be you must build a boat where runs aren't particularly pressured and take a min or two, plus i love the stats/upgrade climb in games like that

any ideas?

idk why the game makes you wait so much to play now

wait for a queue, wait a minute for warmup, then wait another 10 secs for a pointless countdown. plus setup time. rounds are usually rolls in 5 mins (objective wise, not that every game ends in spawn camping) and then you get dumped back to the main menu. it makes me actually hate playing casual

there's gamesense/comm-listening involved in knowing that only light classes are up and they're gonna be near the point

but other than that not so much

not that i hate the guy or the game especially

but in tf2 terms he went in as soldier and found 4 low gibus engis who were standing around holding their dicks

skial and ugc and i think na has firepowered are the only pubs really running nowadays

i had an issue similar to this this but i think it was due to a missing texture with jarate/blood overlays (the checkerboard was visible). i think a reinstall fixed it
