Half of this thread isn't necessary

Hope everyone's ok :(

tbh let's just stop playing in leagues and just pug

in fact, we don't need pugs when we already have public servers available, let's just play vanilla tf22 in those

Can confirm, just ordered the new 5k iMac. Hasn't arrived yet but I'm already 300x better

Bump, anyone else want to go? I'm trying to wait to pay until we get enough people committed.

Don't say AMD processors are worse. They are meant for different things. AMD's processors are more for multithreaded applications (such as video) while Intel's processors are more single-thread optimized (so, they're better for most games). The FX-8350, IIRC, gives a pretty much stable fps in TF2, but the maximum fps is lower than a x570k.

But I would only get an AMD processor if I was going to be editing a lot of videos. the 3570k/4570k is enough power for streaming, and you can overclock.

However, OP, I assume you aren't wanting to stream. I would say a lower-end quad-core i5 would work well for you. I would head over to the PC Build Thread if you want to upgrade. Try the things here first before you buy anything.

^ I feel like the only people who were unnecessarily harsh are always like that though. I didn't feel like people were harsh in general.

Yeah, I agree. Alternatively, they could say "B4nny goes IN and he GETS the medic!"

He does have a point with the smaller LANs thing. Since ETS doesn't really like us and probably won't give us a tournament this year (or possibly won't let us use any servers for TF2, idk how servers work at LANs though), we can go to smaller LANs like FITES and GXL and others around the country to prove we can get enough people to host tournaments.

Pretty sure that was not what he was trying to say though.

As a side note, will the next CEVO LAN finals, if they happen, be held at whichever LAN we choose?

General admission tickets are now available. Price is $25. IU student tickets are $20.

For the record, I'd be more willing to go to FITES than ETS. There's probably no chance of me going to the next ETS, I just feel like it would be better for the game. Just put me down for FITES.

We need a list of people who would go to ETS and a list of people who would go to FITES; people should be allowed on both lists. Compare the lists, and if the ETS list is long enough, take our next major event there. If FITES has more people, then go there.

GA tickets aren't available as of this post, even though they were supposed to be available from Friday. I haven't seen any posts since the one about the student pre-sale.

I'd say ETS, assuming people actually go. I probably won't go in 2015 (no passport, and I'll have class that Friday and Monday for sure) but 2016 would probably work (and I'll be able to drink there!).

If only it was a week later...

To be honest a midwest LAN (near Chicago) would be nice for the winter. I'd say a west coast LAN but most of us probably wouldn't go to that.

I first watched the S10 LAN stream because of a friend. After that, I joined in on the next newbie mixes and I formed a UGC 6s team with my internet buds. I somehow made my way into New Map Weekends despite having little experience.

To this day, I'm mediocre. Most likely I haven't been able to be on a team for longer than a few weeks without it dying or my schedule conflicting. If I didn't have so many other games to play I'd actually try to play right now.

I hope we can get at least 12 people, that way we can still do some pugs if they don't have a tournament.

Tell your friends!

Since when does Zowie suck?
