Jesus christ, you must have built up quite a lot of resentment after all of those seasons in Highlander you ended up finishing 2nd place.

It's kind of ironic that someone who pereptually finishes 2nd would be defending banning the best team.

This reeks of entitlement issues. He has the right to pull out for any reason, without an explanation. It's really that simple. It's not a punishment, it's a revocation of privilege.

cl_updaterate 66
cl_cmdrate 65 

cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_interp .0152 (a value of 0 would be fine as well)

cl_interp_ratio 2 (possibly higher)
cl_interp .0228 (possibly higher but this should work fine)

cl_interp_ratio 3
cl_interp .0152

net_compresspackets 1
net_compresspackets_minsize 128
rate 196608 // 1.57 Mbps default rate from CS:GO
net_splitpacket_maxrate 196608
net_splitrate 1 // How many packets to split per frame
net_maxcleartime 0.020346

net_maxroutable 1200
net_maxfragments 1200

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't interpolation related to packet loss, and not ping?

You can twist the 3.5mm plug that goes into this thing to untangle it.

Stop with the strawmen, you're constantly assuming I have opinions I don't have. I'm done discussing with you.

Stalking behaviour, threats of violence, racist and sexist comments (regardless of gender/race) or otherwise severely insensitive comments with malicious intent, homophobic comments, transphobic comments, etc. It really doesn't matter who is the victim. The video was criticising b4nny's behaviour and not his person. I don't think se7en should have posted that video, but you've applied no nuance to the situation and you are comparing someone who got harassed unprovoked after opening up sexual abuse to someone who criticised a player for being toxic to another player. Do you think a shoplifter should get the same punishment as a bank robber?

I don't think harassment only starts with racism.

I also didn't interpret that statement as "we don't deserve a punishment".

EDIT: The purpose of me posting this is not to defend 7 which it might come off as. I just genuinely think you are comparing a bank robbery with someone shoplifting and it comes off as very insensitive.

It's not harassment to call out other people's toxic behaviour or criticise people publicly.

It is harassment to call someone "ugly gook cunt" and endorsing other people who do this.

You are going through some serious mental gymnastics in order to justify your criticism, and it's not lending credit to your argument at all.

Not sure you even read his statement at all, that's the opposite of what he said.

That is a sarcastic statement mocking the entire situation.

Trashtalk isn't even in the same ballpark as harassment and racism. You are not a victim.

It's not okay to tell people to kill themselves but in what universe do you live where it excuses the rampant racism your team is involved in? You're just trying to deflect blame from your teammates (unsuccessfully so).

They are prem players and represent the league. Not punishing public racism and public harassment gives the league a bad image and it makes the harassment problem worse. This also makes it harder for them (EDIT: ETF2L) to get sponsorships as I'm pretty sure sponsors are not happy about paying prize money to people who are publicly harassing other people and are proud of it.

People have left and are leaving the community because of the harrassment they receive. Why should they leave, why shouldn't the harrassers leave? ETF2L should definitely care about how their prem players represent their public image, not taking action against this behaviour hurts the scene more than it helps.

That might be a factor, but it really does not excuse the treatment Dreamboat and Getawhale have experienced. They deserve a better treatment than this. It really looks like things have been left too late again. Promotional stuff needs to be planned like, right now in order to build hype towards the event. That can be done mostly independently from Multiplay.

The success of this event determines if TF2 will be at insomnia in the future. If there's no promotion, it WILL flop. Last year, the reason given for the lack of promotion was that TF2 was announced too late. This year it was announced super early, but now it's less than a month until the event and there hasn't been much promotion (if any) at all. This can be done independently of Multiplay.
