Hey, I'd like to backup for someone this next season in open. I have a few seasons of UGC experience, and I've been around PUGing for awhile. I'm most seasoned at medic, but am capable of playing pocket or roamer as well. I can be there pretty much any day during the week if needed, weekends are a nogo. Live on the west coast. Feel free to hit me up, I can likely pay fees if I'm needed for a match as well.

how does this guy not have a team yet? He's incredible.

This is great.

Thanks for adding me! Might be a bit on and off the next month or so, since I'm working on my desktop at the moment, and winter break is on the horizon, but keep your eyes peeled.

How exactly do you do a tracert? And is there a solution if there is bad routing?

Edit: Must have just been a fluke, pinging lower now

So, I guess the team that "won" the invite poll had less votes, but won because of a rule that noone knew about, that only votes that people with their main game as CS:GO and prem would count. The rule wasn't mentioned anywhere, and the tally of votes that counted is not displayed anywhere, so there is no way of knowing what the margin was or anything.

Is the way ESEA TF2 run by the same admins? Because there seems to be a lot of weird, liberal interpretations of what are rules and what aren't going on in invite CS, that scare me about the fate of invite TF2. This isn't a shot at ESEA at least on the TF2 side, since this last season of LAN was run really well and I haven't heard anything but good things, but I'm just concerned that there isn't enough structure in place in ESEA to keep things consistent. Like, for instance, is it entirely under the discretion of the admins that Xensity, Laserbeams and Don't Trip are in invite?

Something weird I've noticed: I ping significantly higher to the MGE iT West server than I do to the regular MGE iT server, and I live in seattle. Anything you know of that might be causing that, or anyone else have any insight?

Wow, I've never seen a thread this resoundingly supportive before.

Could I get my stream added to the list? http://www.twitch.tv/killemdeader I'm a newish comp player, playing in UGC plat this season, hoping to stream quite regularly.

You guys lost to possibly one of the smallest, richest school districts in the state.

Uh... if you had responded to harb by saying "yeah, I understand my mistakes and I'm moving forward" instead of trying to call people out for supposedly getting into stuff that is "none of their business", you would look so much better right now :/

Oh, and a random sidenote: is there any particular reason you only have 7 people on your friendslist? Its a bit abnormal.

Hm. That's odd, Lazerbeams has 3 experienced invite players, and 3 slots not yet accounted for, don't forget chess club went to LAN last season and added multi LAN attendee Boomer, Mix^ doesn't even have 6, we have no idea where big time players like YZ50, Ruwin, DaveAC, TheFragile will end up. I think there is definitely going to be some competition within the top 5. The 3 new IM teams are wild cards, but I think with every roster being basically brand new in invite this season, they all have a good chance.

Snowboard! Hoping to take 4-5 trips to Whistler this season, and get a season pass @ Snoqualmie

If he were nicer to people and not condescending despite being less experienced than most, maybe people would be nicer to him.
