Myself and my teammates have volunteered on 2 separate occasions to move up when we were clearly not capable of competing in invite; was asked to do it again and I straight up said no this time.

Would really appreciate the gesture if another team sacrificed their potentially winning IM season to help keep our high level competition running. If you don’t you’re gonna end up playing those top invite teams in IM anyways and you’ll be in essentially a similar situation.

Please step up, there are clearly more capable teams then my current one who should be filling these spots.

guy used to be a beast scout, goodluck OG

reviving this topic for additional discussion, ESEA sign ups are underway and soon map rotation will come into the discussion. would like to hear where the community thinks we are at, when i made this thread originally it seemed to be quite a popular idea and alot of maps have been reworked since then.

Move ups haven’t occurred yet, they will soon

Keep the signups coming Everyone, sign up sooner rather than later this season

not trying to get into an argument, I wasn't trying to say stats are everything, they obviously aren't. but saying DeRozan isn't a top player is a joke lol 3 All Star appearances, All NBA third team last year and has been the biggest reason along with Lowry why the raptors have been in the East Finals 2 years running. People think hes a top player and plays like one lol

Also just posted 45 pts tonight as a sidenote

u wanna go bud

dance is likely one of the nicest people ive ever had the please of being a teammate with, super dedicated guy, hilarious to hang with and just really genuine and a loyal teammate. Can't say enough things about this guy

oh wait hes a fucking NUTTER

DeMar DeRozan Averages this season thus far;

GP 29
Min 34.1
Pts 24.0
FG% 48.9
3pt% 27.8
Reb 4.3
Ast 5.1
Stl 1.2
Blk 0.2

you're right, those statistics look nothing like other all stars stat lines. and you picked victor oladipo who is posting nearly identical stats.

These guys seem super committed and are showing big potential, will be a great group to play with and compete against

People who say this will do next to nothing for the league are dangerously ignorant and are tunneling on the fact they think this was a move made to attract UGC players when that is likely not even close to the main purpose. Quit being a bunch of forum warriors looking for up frags.

Any step forward is a good step for TF2, small or large. Embrace and support that shit

Love the teamwork aspect of the game more than anything and also the great friends I’ve met through the community

Tournament announcement would be nice

When process and snake water were added to the rotation they were far from what they are now and beyond less than optimal. They were still playable and eventually became the most liked and consistent maps in the rotations after many updates.

What’s to say this same scenario couldn’t be true for maps like reckoner, cardinal or kalinka for example? All of those maps are in a better state than when snake and process were added and could easily take over outdated and stale maps like badlands and granary which have been in rotation since the dawn of time with minimal changes

this has been a massive issue with ESEA forever, people care too much about every map being perfect (impossible) and allowing the rotation to get stale (which it has). Some maps in the rotation have been extremely flawed forever and have been included in the rotation season after season, people complain, people realise they cant adapt or dont want change, nothing happens, the cycle continues.

If people want maps to be better or want new maps in the rotation to replace maps they dislike it starts with being open minded and PLAYTESTING MAPS. almost everytime i see a newer map added to pugchamp rotaiton, people automatically ban it and it never gets played, and the rare time that it does, people just whine the whole time causing other people to whine because everyone is a bunch of fucking whiners essentially.

If we want new maps^^^^^THIS has to stop^^^^^

like said above, fruit in general is a really easy snack and you can use it in a ton of different ways (personal favorite is mixed with greek yogurt and granola).

Most of the time though, bad eating habits are created due to a lack of preparation. Most people who get into cooking meals daily or meal prepping for a whole week tend to have way healthier eating habits in general. You can google easy meal prep recipes but from personal experience i love just doing simple things like Roasted Chicken and Veg with Lemon Butter, Quinoa chili (Quinoa is so awesome to prepare ahead of time and very versatile), or Rice Stirfrys, Stuff like that.

Im a chef as well so if you have any questions, or just wanna add me to talk about food you like and I can share some simple recipes with you or help you with your meal plan, id be more than happy to help you out.
