Imo it's pretty much fine if you leave it as is and have it be half a pixel off, if you want it perfectly accurate you're either going to have it be very ugly or significantly bigger (and basically remade entirely).

The OP is gone and yerb is post #1 now, I'm guessing it sold

He held a cup testing this exact format before. He originally had it be 6v6, then changed it to 7v7 when some people disagreed with testing everything at once and not individually, or pointing out that some of these things had in fact been tested before and found to have no merit (at which point everyone disagreed, since a last minute change to 7v7 screwed with a lot of teams and would mean that no one could get any useful info from it).

How much he's cared about what we think since then should be easy to tell just from the format; no real changes, despite it being very obvious even if you never talked to anyone here that it had many big issues. If he's ignorant of its problems, that also means he gives 0 fucks about what the 6s community thinks nowadays. But I don't think Sigafoo's a complete idiot, there's no way he can't be aware that there are legitimate problems with his format, I think it's more likely that he doesn't want to look like he's taking advice from communities like ours (including his playerbase of mostly 6s players who actually entered his previous cup, who have also given detailed feedback) out of spite.

Best case, he thinks none of us know what we're talking about and doesn't even consider our opinions, despite nearly unanimous agreement of the people who played in it. Worst case, he is actively ignoring us because he doesn't like us. Neither one is any good, and however much money he puts into it doesn't change that.

Insulting the people who disagree with you doesn't give your own argument validity.

When I said 7v7, I meant all that with it too. It's a lot easier than saying "prolander 7v7 pick/ban unlocks w/ pl maps".

If it were a genuine 6v6 league, without any of these gimmicks that we know from experience (both individually and all together) don't work at all, no one would have any issues with it. It'd be great if that was the case actually.

The issue is that he's putting money into something that will actively kill it faster. He's essentially putting his money and popularity into saying "6s and HL need to be replaced" with his only alternative being much worse, there is no good way this can go.

We do have our own leagues btw.

It's more likely that Valve will see the shitfest that is 7v7, say "fuck this" and stop caring about comp at all. Which is extremely unlikely, but there is no way Valve doesn't know people love the idea of money, just that we don't like it when it's thrown at bad formats that only exist out of spite.

The issue isn't that Sigafoo's putting money into something. It's not even that he's throwing away money into something useless. It's that he's throwing money at something that does nothing except convince new players "6s and HL are stale, unfun, and toxic, so we need something new and better" and telling them that this proven awful format is supposed to be the best of both worlds. He's supporting something that's actively bad for the competitive community, and the issue with the money is that it means it will have an impact to newer players (that, as we know from how bad 7v7 was every other time it's been played, will inevitably be negative).

I don't think the impact will be huge, but it's still Sigafoo putting thousands of dollars into something that will hurt the 6s and HL communities (whether intentionally or not), just because he doesn't like the 6s community. And for that reason I think the idea is fucking awful.

You should be doing: http://ccm.net/faq/14922-windows-7-disable-desktop-composition

Any other input lag would be from the slight framerate reduction of being windowed, but it shouldn't be so big you can easily tell so if it persists after that it'd likely be placebo.

The only fixes are to either use fullscreen, or to install an older version of windows (7 or below) or a linux distro that doesn't do any triple-buffering or forced vsync. Fullscreen is easier though.

What's happening is when you're in windowed borderless, windows uses the desktop compositor which will always triple-buffer frames, which causes input lag.

For the same messages that appear:
/toonhud/resource/closecaption_english.dat => /yourhud/resource/closecaption_english.dat
Basically keep the same filename and placement, just in your new hud. You should also copy over the closecaption_english.txt file, but it's not necessary in this case since it doesn't actually get used.

For the same positioning and fonts:
copy HudCloseCaption inside hudlayout.res into your new hud
copy the clientscheme definitions for CloseCaption_Normal and the other CloseCaption fonts
copy the Cerbetica font definition for the clientscheme definitions

tldr for anyone who doesn't want to watch it:

• he gets crit percentages wrong right off the bat
  
• while talking about smash bros melee, goes over the basic concept of a solved game (like tic tac toe, where a perfect player can always be able to win or tie) without ever actually using that proper term
  
• says phantom hits in melee are enough rng to make the game very exciting (which, for the record, is not rng), while comp tf2 has no random elements (which, for the record, it does) so comp tf2 must not be very exciting
  
• says tf2's meta can develop on its own, without valve changes
  
• then says tf2's meta can only develop when valve changes something
  
• says competitive 5cp is "boring, it sucks"
  
• says rng runkillers in speedruns are fun to watch
  
• no actual conclusion

All over footage of him missing every rocket.

What's the keyboard? Anything special or just some random OEM-looking thing?

In hudplayerhealth.res, edit PlayerStatusHealthBonusImage

Editing the hudanimations to not start showing it at all works too.

The entry cost is supposedly at least a million. The last I heard, the prize pool wasn't much bigger. Blizzard has even said they want to take the attention away from the prize pool. There is supposed to be a minimum salary but (assuming it works like actual sports leagues) how much of that would come from Blizzard, and how much would come from the orgs themselves isn't clear.

The financial situation just doesn't seem good, I can't imagine many orgs signing up if they aren't positive they've got a shot at first place just because it doesn't look like publicity will be able to cover the costs. Even orgs that can afford it would probably rather spend a fraction of the money for the same (or often better) exposure and prizepools in other games.

The thing is the timing could've easily not been shit. They could've fired him any time they wanted, the reason they gave was valid since day 1 of Trump's presidency. If they wanted to go on the reason they gave, there was nothing stopping this from happening earlier--where the reason was more valid since months hadn't passed, less people would blame him for removing Obama appointees early, and where there wasn't developments in a controversy involving them less than 24 hours before. And if they wanted a better reason they could've waited even a few days and there wouldn't be anywhere near the backlash.

Hell, the process was so quick that Comey only found out when he heard it on the news, and there was no replacement lined up for him either (unlike people like Yates, who should've been a much hastier firing but still had a replacement appointed that same day).

If they weren't suddenly worried about keeping him and wanted him out asap, why now and why like this? I'm not surprised that Trump fired Comey, it was going to happen sooner or later, but I just can't wrap my head around the timing being this fucking bad with all those suspicious details surrounding it and there to not be something fucky here.

For that matter, the best way to tell valve "everyone agrees, this weapon needs rebalancing" is to ban it. Their biggest source of info on what we think has always been the whitelist, leaving it wide open in the hopes that valve will magically know what happens inside pugs makes no sense.

If you just want the exact same mouse, you can always buy new Omron switches (6 pack of the exact Chinese ones used in the g500, 4 pack of the higher quality Japanese equivalent) and replace your old ones.

Even if you have to buy a soldering iron, it'll likely be cheaper than just getting a new one, and should last you longer overall too.
