zephyrHigh level tf2 has been comprised of less than 20 people for a handful of seasons now. Saying LAN finals are NECESSARY for the game to stay alive is the biggest load of shit I've ever heard. Most of the action in the NA scene right now is everywhere but invite. Why should everyone else suffer for a couple of self-righteous pricks who think they're whats holding the game together. Go fuck yourself MR SLIN, invite's a joke now. If anything, I can see community driven LAN finals making the game improve in every aspect. Also considering that events run by the community gives access to literally anyone who wants to attend. Just picture LAN finals with maybe a hundred or so other community members, that would be sweet. I'm sure CEVO would back an event like that and give incentive to the douchebags who want prizes for their gaming expertise.
calm down man
