#23 top 100 after 4 years in TF2 General Discussion

I never thought I'd read a thread and the only person I agree with is SpaceCadet, but here we are.

It feels like a lot of players want to really undervalue past players compared to current players for whatever reason, to me at least. I've never understood how people can value being better now compared to in the past, when the whole point of comparing eras is to rank players relative to the skill level at the time they played. I guess part of why people find it difficult to grasp the concept here is because our top player has been the same person for ~15 years. Try to imagine a world where b4nny quit at the same time as mix^, or consider the fact nobody has any significant problem with clockwork's ranking, despite not seriously playing since I was in high school. B4nny would obviously still be our goat. I'd also like any of the people who act like older players just sucked compared to people like Jay, to consider that a significant number of players were using 60 hz monitors, wired mice, trash mousepads, and didn't even know what a mechanical keyboard is. The setups we used to play maplestory and pubs on, people were unironically trying to compete in tf2 with lol. Seriously, play a pub now with your old dell mouse, monitor, and keyboard, and let me know how it goes. Also, for the zoomers, please keep in mind when tf2 had lan finals at esea, the game was objectively more competitive. There were way more people playing and way more people trying really hard, just to go to lan. Nowadays our best players don't even play most of the time... look at the current state of invite.

Players like Tyrone and Mackey are incredibly overrated, not because they played in an era where people were way worse mechanically (no shit), but because they actually just sucked in their era lol. Or, like in the case of alexwut, they were only good for a short amount of time (sorry alex it you're reading this, I don't actually know if you were good for more than just 2008). Just like how a player who was only good in 2015, 2020, or 2025 probably shouldn't be in consideration for "top 100 player of all time". I'd rate someone like kobe, or soapy higher than those people because they showed that they can reach the pinnacle of our game, and sustain that for a consistent period of time, not because the years they've been dominant in is in the 2020s. In my opinion at least, it'd be equally as impressive if G6 replicated their success in 2014.

Edit: holy nerd essay, sorry, been playing this game since I was a kid so I had a lot of thoughts

#7 a call for tf2 storytellers in TF2 General Discussion
Wild_Rumpusi know fireside dabbled in similar territory but it's kinda hard to tell a story across multiple seasons since teams change all the time and seasons tend to be more discrete compared to jump, for example
maybe the best recent "story" i can think of for 6s is witness' upset win in season 6

that being said, people keep saying that tf2 just needs a "smash documentary" and itll be an esport but after seeing a handful of (relatively popular) attempts at it, im not convinced. i think a compelling story should just be that, and the weight of "saving the game" or just an intention of making 6s more popular tend to make these videos worse. especially since it's not even necessary because 6s is a compelling and interesting format even for the layman of it's explained properly
SolarLightThe best idea I had was to talk about the infamous "europeean" incident and how thalash beat b4nny afterwards

I'm also working on a vid about my own 6s season in div4 which tries to capture the "essence" of starting a team, finding new people and having laughs while sometimes entering "serious mode" whenever it's needed.
these are fun ideas

Feel like g6 would be a way better topic as a bunch of people that actually stuck around for multiple seasons and now farm banny at every lan lol

#42 Main Team Joint Statement #2 in TF2 General Discussion
trippai dont trust even invite players’ eye test. there have been some hackused players in invite over the last few years (none ever found cheating/banned), i’ve seen the reports, there might be some truth to it all but i’ve also seen some of the same people prove themselves later on lan, people are very quick to assume any fast improving player is cheating

who other than howard
