Well how's this for a hypothetical:

ESEA joins with ESL, gets tons more money through exposure/signups/etc in CS:GO.. in 6 months/a year's time they look and see "Wow holy shit Matchmaking in TF2 has made numbers explode, maybe we can re-examine this LAN thing" and guess what? They have the budget to have some sort of TF2 LAN now.

Hypothetical. Just hypothetical.

I BET WE'LL KNOW TOMORROW

just threw out my shirt

This is so heavy and thought provoking. Look at what we've been doing.

this is what it's like on my stream

if you like mangachu interviews, this one is a doozie. spoiler: it's about dicks

preach, on all of these except 4

and many rich people in real life are unethical as well, but that doesn't mean there are no honest ones or that it's not possible to earn a completely honest living

These are not my own words, but it's said the lottery is a tax on stupid people

And in this case, a cut of the money goes to Geel/the website/whoever's involved

If you're cool with that, go for it. But there are plenty of guides online about how to trade fairly and ethically to make money in the TF2 community.

Thanks for posting the vid!

Just FYI, this site's community won't say much to you about a short spy video. There are many who dislike Highlander here and are vocal about it.

Wanted to suggest you try the Reddit TF2 board though! You will likely get a better response there, and likely more, better criticisms and comments.

Gosh - what a time warp. This was either my first or second TFTV cast. It's hard to watch - only just past the first mid and I'm already embarrassed.

Thank you for this - it's nice to be able to look back and see how much I've improved. Thanks for the kind words as well.

I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are on the whole "people who play longer get higher stats" thing. Because I know it can become an issue based on how the scoring ends up being done. A brief experiment with fantasy stats was tried in UGC and this is what was found.. whoever played the longest games got the best stats.

And to use a real world example.. because ESEA is fresh in my head. Looking, for example, at something like most frags. Members of Mad Men topped this list - it goes YouMustMike, seymour, and then some others. You don't even see a Froyotech member until 12th. You see a similar thing with Damage, with three Mad Men members in the top 5. This is nothing against Mad Men - they were one of the top 4 NA teams this season. But should they be the Fantasy All-Star team just because they played at least an hour more of game time than everyone else? Shade only popped 112 ubers to indust's 233 - does that mean indust is twice as good as Shade? (All jokes aside?)

I am not criticizing, because I know you're a smart dude. I'd just like to hear you talk about how this can be tackled a little more, preferably without it just turning into a big game of comparisons to real sports. In my mind this is the toughest obstacle.
