At LAN you don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to play. You will most likely have adjusted to the jet lag in the previous days if you come from other continents. Waking up in the middle of the night vs being jetlagged is a big difference.

The ETF2L nation cups are played on European servers at European times, so anyone not from Europe is very disadvantaged. It's a European league, so the nation cups are mainly for European countries. It is not really meant to be an intercontinental competition. North American teams usually get Chicago/East coast players for ETF2L competitions as it's possible to get below 100 ping, which is still playable. Oceanian/East Asian teams have never entered as they would have to wake up in the middle of the night to play a 300 ping official.

It's very impractical. Aside from the astounding ping differences between the regions, the playoff matches would have to be played at very inconvenient times. How do you possibly balance a bo3 between an Australian team and a European team? Either one of the teams will have 300+ ping or both will have 150+ ping, which are both unplayable. How do you schedule matches between a European team and an Australian team, one will either have to play extremely late, or extremely early, or both will have to play at inconvenient times. TF2 is already hard enough as it is to schedule around work and real life stuff, so scheduling intercontinental matches would be a nightmare for everyone involved.

Besides, there not being a TF2 LAN at the moment is not because there is nobody stepping up to the plate, it's because it's not possible to host one now due to the pandemic. When the pandemic is over, I'm certain we will see LANs being organised again.

I love how they just cut off the interview at the end because Nepo won't stop talking

toughest decision you ever made related to tf2?

It doesn't really drop frames for me, it just becomes very jittery. hud_reloadscheme seems to solve that though.

Uuuhhhh posting death threats over a ban in a video game league that happened like 7 years ago... get a life?

Make all lamps non-solid please

It just fucking sucks that she blames her victims for what happened instead of taking responsibility for her own actions.

Would recommend buying things second hand, you can probably get a full drum set for the price of that bass drum alone if you are lucky. Even if the drums look incredibly worn out, they can often easily be fixed by just replacing the heads.

Thanks, been waiting for this for a long time

Thanks for the VODs! I wasn't looking for the game itself though, I was looking for speech by the hype guy in the beginning talking about how we were in a "cathedral of gaming" or something. Most memorable moment of the finals.

I was going to watch the i52 grand finals the other day but the VOD of it also seems to be completely gone. :/
