and my team from back in S4 too haha https://play.esea.net/teams/28502?tab=league&period%5Btype%5D=seasons&period%5Bseason_start%5D=89

first off, 6 of the roster move ups never made it to season (Puck Fat, K-Man Fan Club, rip john wayne kayc, pwr rangers, Blasty Blast, waddlesquad, as you can see these roster names are not listed in IM S21) and the 7th was moved to invite (Bugs). your dead teams from this season include (really dont care about when they died); STOPERR K.O.T, IM, The Twilight Zone, Dildo Gaggins, maelstrom team, creative juices, and EPS and Durex both played their last matches but had over 4 FF each through the season.

So looking at numbers, a total of 16 move ups, 6 of which never happened and 7th went to invite leaving 9, of the 9 remaining 6 died and 2 mind as well have been dead leaving an amazing growth increase of 1?

If you think that this is somehow beneficial for a DIVISION BASED LEAGUE then you're delusion, pretty much every open move up that played this season was shit and just diluted the level of competition within the division and has also made it wayyyyy too easy for shitty teams to steal an IM roster because they "think they are IM level."

Literally the best change to make here was to only make 8 rosters available, there is nothing beneficial about having a bunch of hopeless open roster move ups into a division of HIGHER level because these open players think it validates their time spent playing in open. Makes no sense and everyone outside of the top 6-8 in IM this season wouldn't even have done well in open playoffs S21.

considering literally half the IM teams died in the first 2-3 weeks last season I think the change makes sense. Really never understood moving up that many teams in the first place, just causes the skill gap to become way too far apart and actually gets people confused if they are mid-high open or low-IM anymore, so its not really as competitive as it could be with less move ups.

Just like every person in this thread mindlessly whining about spoilers. Last time I checked this is a news website/forums, if you don't want spoilers, OR to discuss the game, go watch the game first and then come and check out the news, this game was also played on Sunday so if you really wanted to watch the game so bad with no spoilers you definetly had time to. Some people here would actually like to Discuss the game on this news website/forum. TF.TVshouldn't be forced to change how it posts it's news just cause the mongaloids want it to be like Reddit or HLTV.

Most of you retards probably purposely not watching the game anyways just so you have another thing to complain about tbh

they make more money off of players who buy premium for pugs than players who use it for leagues, and they have 400 open CS teams in NA alone. Now this doesn't really apply to the ESL Pro league for obvious reasons.

also its about the image for them, all they see is TF2 players using their own forums, making their own pug systems and boycotting the ESEA ones (or rather, just not using them because they are found to be inconvenient), a league that gets nothing back from its player base isn't going to provide anything extra to those players, there is no incentive.

There is literally no reason for ESEA to add anything addition to the TF2 division at this current moment. Its basically a waiting game to see if MM actually does anything for numbers. Until the numbers change, they won't change anything, which is fair considering they are running TF2 for no profit because they like the game and have for some time now. I really do hope MM improves the numbers because good things will happen with the league if it does.

If you really want to get esea's attention should probably start using their Pug system (that you already pay for) and their forums as well, that's what they care about.

die is a serious OG, crazy to see this guy return after so so long

bump, looking for some more tryouts! Thanks everyone for the great comments

you ok, or did you literally get fat kidded trying to play basketball as a kid you fucking hippo

In the past 8 games vs Raptors (3 seasons) he's 3-5 with these stats

1.4 SPG
0.4 BPG
36.1% FG

and Toronto isn't really known for their defence.

Think we good. Toronto could make finals, honestly think its so even between them and Cavs in EC Finals.

EC Semis; Toronto vs Heat (Toronto in 7), Cleveland vs Boston (Cleveland in 6)

EC Finals; Toronto vs Cleveland (Cleveland in 7)

WC Semis; Warriors vs Clipper (Warriors in 5), Thunder vs Spurs (Spurs in 5)

WC Finals; Warriors vs Spurs (Spurs in 6)

FINALS; Spurs vs Cleveland (Spurs in 6)

best Engy main on the planet.

really though, blues is amazing, chill enough to love being on a team with him and competitive enough that when it comes to scrims its no bullshit and time to win. seriously talented scout, along with great DM prolly one of the smartest scout players ive played with, rarely could point out a mistake that Blues made.

most aesthetically pleasing gamer?

"im POUNDING" - ex 1995-2016

ex is sick. such good DM and is a real bro. another season on a high IM team where he keeps improving and he will be one of the next up and coming invite scouts, no doubt.

kuestif is the definition of a team player. this guy will do anything you ask to help the team/improve his own player. hes also one of the fastest improved players ive ever seen, especially on a class like demo.

would honestly be silly not to see him on an Invite team.

great guy, really chill and SUPER talented demoman, also really smart player that can help any team learn a thing or two. good luck bud
