cool ill edit out bunch, still doesn't change the fact it was stupid and a commonly known rule

to be honest its not a great ruling, but its really your own fault for being stupid and using an alt accounts in the first place or even putting youself in a position where you had to use alt accounts.

lots of people think hes just a sniper main with no brain, honestly one of the more intelligent scout players i've played with. Really skilled scout player as well dm wise and obviously a high level off-classer

I love that there are other tournaments happening, don't get me wrong, but seems kind of silly to run a single elim. tournament where the whole first round is going to be mid open teams playing invite teams and high IM teams because of seeding.

I'm sure that's because its one of the first tournaments but something to consider for the future if we want a lot of teams involved, or consider making separate tournaments for different tiers in the future with lowered prize pots or something.

Will be looking forward to spectating :)

thanks bro, love threads that share a little tf2 history!

also we used to have sick write ups like this https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=news&d=comments&id=8781

Invite with that team was still really fun though, It was good to give some of the newer guys their first taste of invite even though we went 0-16. We managed to still have some really close and good games with good teams and never strayed from our identity as a team and I will always respect my teammates on MLX for that.

Also random fact, I got to play in the last "ESEA All Star" Game, where they took invite players from each conference and played an all star match, it was a flop the last couple seasons so they discontinued it https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=1731360

And now we here

2007

My little brother bought the orange box and I saw him playing TF2, was really interested so I started playing it myself. I joined a pub community called the outsiders, some of the old mSHIFT guys were playing in our pub (blackstar, nightmare, ravage) and I found out about comp. TF2. I asked my pub buddies if they wanted to try it out, so we started Lockdown. Original roster was myself, murder, twinny, ferret, cascade and akia. We played in TGL, CAL, and CEVO and did decent for a new group of guys playing so thats what really started my drive for comp TF2 (I was 15 at the time)

2008

After playing with just my pub-gone-competitive squad for a while, I actually got noticed by a group of CEVO-P players, which at the time was a massive deal and there were a lot more CEVO-P teams back at that time. I was then picked up by the original Team Dynamic (Also known as 4Ever Gamers at the time) with sequel, crunch, WesleyGibson, Zambino, and DeuceBox. I played with these guys most of the year in CEVO-P, TGL and CAL leagues, we did pretty well, Middle of the pack level Pro team, extremely fun. Later the team started to dissolve after crunch's departure from the game and Zambino leaving to play for another squad.

2009

TF2'S INAGURAL SEASON IN ESEA it was an exciting time for the TF2 community after the CGS Pro-AM was a massive bust, Disbanding the organization after the TF2 tournament had ended. ESEA took on TF2 and everyone was really excited to play and try out the league. The first season was obviously not very big, it featured all the top teams in the game and lower level teams didn't want to pay to get stomped as there was only one division. I went back to playing with my old buddies with the roster of myself, murder, slop, pye, thirtytwo and argon. We were really excited to play against some of the top teams, and as you can imagine, we were stomped in our meeting with the #1 team at the time, Pandemic (Some recognizable names there). I couldn't finish the season out due to travelling for rugby, but my boys finished out the season a respectable 4-4, which at the time, was an amazing accomplishment. Pandemic went on to be the first undefeated team in ESEA history going 8-0 and then 3-0 in post season.

I came back and my team had been picked up by a small sponsor, iconic eSports, and we went into our 2nd season of esea with the same roster. This season ESEA had split the divisions into invite and open, so there was a chance at playoffs. I left the team mid season due to internal issues and joined up with blaze on 404 not found (Myself, Yidd, stress, shakr, blaze, ComeToJesus) and we ended the season just short of playoffs, we tied my previous team for overall record.

Season 4 of ESEA reformed with my old team to make Royal, consisted of myself, murder, thirtytwo, blaze, notor, and bigwill. We were a really solid team this season and we made playoffs for the first time in my career, a really fun season, really fun accomplishment for me and the boys. a good year.

2010

Season 5 was about to start, enoryt and mackey along with a guy named marmell came to me and blaze wanting to form a team (What people will most recognize now as the original eMg/Dont Trip) and we agreed, we brought in my friend jnkx who was an old CEVO-P player for x6 and various other teams. Team was really good, eventually the team didn't like playing with marmell, so I brought in b4nny from slaughterhouse gaming when he was fairly new to the scene (disclaimer: i literally take 0 credit for "discovering" b4nny or the player he has become today, hes a really amazing player and he did that on his own in progression with tyrone and this squad). I ran into more issues with travel and rugby so I left the team and was replaced by move.

I came back later in the season and joined up with Helix, the roster became myself, harbleu, vhalin, platinum, smaka and s/x and we made it all the way to the finals to play an epic game against my former team. amazing game that ended with a blaze scout backcap onto last point and eMg were named champs for season 5.

After that season, I was picked up to play in Invite Season 6 with a team called nexus gaming (Myself, RocketSurgeon/Hong, davis, paladin, sycknesS and punisher) we qualified 4th, taking the final spot for the LAN finals, but due to travel and monetary restrictions some of the members of our team couldn't go to the event, so we withdrew. Blight gaming took our place as the 5th place team and actually WON the whole tournament, was prolly one of the most wild underdog stories of TF2. (that team was blackymonster, oplaid, platinum, chaaz/boogie, smaka and sequel)

The following season I joined the Vicious Gaming Circle Jerk :D the team was originally Myself, Droog, Sherr, smash, daniel and dkay. major roster fluctuations occurred after our first week of ESEA when Droog rage quit the team after losing to the rising THPS. Our most stable roster was myself, sherr, clockwork, daniel, rline, and davis. We made our playoff run with the roster of myself, phelon, rline, clockwork, sherr and davis. We made it to finals again against PYYYOUR's team, another epic close game, but saw phelon (our team) and ruwin (their team) unable to play the match due to Time Warner being a piece of shit, the result was another close but disappointing loss.

I had a short stint with the spacewhales in invite after this (myself, boomer, tictack, ender, ricco and zbryan) but I was cut from the team after 7 games and a bad loss to x6, and this is what led me to my first major break from TF2.

At this point, I was playing rugby for the Canadian national team so I took an extended hiatus with some really small stints as a stand in or temporary replacement for random teams, most notably I replaced MR.SLIN on vector gaming towards the end of their tenure in their first Invite season.

2013

I returned in full to TF2 this year, in Season 15 of TF2. I joined an open team playing soldier with Danerdz, Jman, NoOne (Clandestine), crossfire and Raaaage. It was a really fun team to come back and refresh with, we made playoffs that season but didn't go far, overall was a really fun season and refreshed my interest in TF2.

I didn't find a team I wanted to play for the following season, so I took another small break.

2014

This year was my full fledged come back. I asked javab (an ex invite player and friend of mine) if he wanted to help me make a new open team, bring some old players in together with some newer ones and see what we could accomplish. this was what started as Cake Dough Cheddar but then became what most people might know it as, MAD LUXURIOUS. The original roster was myself, cMw, Fox!, dancenumber, javab and hellbent. Our season went really well, we made a roster change late in the season due to calling issues, moving me to medic and bringing in dingo on demoman. we ended the season 14-2 and ended up winning open that season, which was awesome because I had made multiple finals before but never actually won, funnest season I had ever had in TF2.

From here I lead MAD LUXURIOUS for 5 straight seasons with very little roster changes, some of the players that came through the team include phelon, kuestif, nate rivers, pamphlet, pauldogg, yosh, rigel, ex, blues. We made playoffs playoffs 4 of the 5 seasons (1 season we were forced up to invite due to a lack of teams, even though we were told we wouldn't be moved up unless we picked up certain players)

bump, looking for more tree outs

really nice and chill dude to pug with, seemed really solid DM wise as well. Good luck!

bump for s24, edited OP

is this top 10 demoman of all time or of recent times because all these lists are of recent times

if you haven't dodged a pug because b4nny was in it you know you're lying

mustard is one of the smarter and more competitive players, also really well rounded/skilled player. I also really enjoy our rivalry banter, but I would be pissed if this happened to me.

hope you find a good group to play with pal
