this. dude has been balling longer than most people on this forum have been alive lol

hey bud, the only time i've really posted here was when someone kept doggin on my team in every thread lol. BUT I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR YOU BRO. i miss the ole davis shittalk spam

I enjoyed my short time playing with Radeon on MLX, as pocket he was great to play with and is willing to listen to the rest of the teams input. he cares a lot about the game and improving not only himself but his team. deserves a mid/high IM team.

current times are fine imo. maybe push Wednesday back by 1 hour to accommodate west players and people just getting out of school/work (5-6PST like you suggested). it's selfish of people to want the cups to start at "normal scrim times" tbh.

two things to keep in mind:

1) these cups take a few hours at the least to complete. the more teams, the longer its going to take.
2) once league play starts again teams will be having sunday/weds matches. it's inevitable. that will only complicate things and probably cause even less participation than we already have if held during scrim times

the last cup had a decent showing but we're yet to hit the 16 team limit. we should be hitting that with ease and asking for a team limit increase.

people so quick to jump on the lucrative hate train ahah

don't think anyone was offended by the intermission "shit talk", ggwp and gl in finals

nah, i see his point and actually agree with it. i've also dealt with ESEA refusing to budge on scheduling issues in the past. the reason i posted is because i'm tired of seeing mustard constantly complaining about our team. his post was made with the assumption/underlying that ESEA did us a favor and I just wanted to point out that was not the case. i actually never post usually and should probably go back to doing so.

muffin men were going to FF since trip can't play and kanon's PC died. we asked to play thursday instead of FF. ESEA said yes as they would rather have matches played than FF's in the playoffs (crazy concept hey). we rescheduled for them so shut down the tear ducts already

nah actually we should be ahead of MLX Blue. you aren't taking into account the rule ESEA has where any team that you are a part of automatically has -10 RF and automatically loses all h2h regardless of match results for you being such an annoying twat every time you get the brilliant idea to post on the forums (who gives a fuck about power rankings ahah jesus).

joking aside, ESEA always changes playoff brackets manually this was just generated by their system. i'm sure it will get fixed. you've played very well this season and MLX-Blue had a great run at the end. i don't think there's a single person that believes we should be the higher seed, our team included.

luc has taken several hits to his cranium playing rugby and has a tendency to rage and is very competitive please cut him some slack. some people cant handle the heat, despite what you may have heard from others in the community that get butt hurt over luc's attitude this season has actually been fine, we have a group that gets a long well currently.

i think for the most part we are happy with how we've done since picking up dolphin rider and playing a bit, we'll be missing dance for the playoffs first round due to a business trip but it's whatever. i also play about 1/4th as much as the rest of my team so i can be blamed for some of our inconsistency.

Correction, Paul and I left the roster after Nate and Ringo were removed. I spoke to Hippo about possibly moving to medic the next season as the 4 of us were interested in trying out other options for demo/medic but wanted to play with Hippo still since it was "his" team and he put a lot of time into it (getting scrims, scheduling etc). I would have spoken to you at the same time but you were offline at the time, and I told Hippo directly that I planned to speak to you when you were online but he beat me to the punch. Nate and ringo were then removed from the roster.

Our team died because we did not have a roster, not because Nate did not want to play. The 3 of us (ringo, paul, me) were still interested in playing with or without Nate but finding 3 replacements that also came with an IM roster proved a pretty daunting task so we just said fuck it. If we had an IM roster we would probably still be playing (our own roster). We tried out a few people with IM rosters and met some cool/good dudes (kig/farns/muma/saam) but in the end it just seemed kinda lame/forced pulling in people and taking their roster and Nate wasn't very keen on it. I didn't "quit" TF2 but am not going to be able to dedicate 4-5 nights a week to scrims this time around so haven't actively been looking for a team. I really only played this past season because Nate approached me about it and I've known him for awhile now. Paul wanted to stick with us as a team and has decided he's probably just not going to play. (someone should pick him up for real though, he's a beast)

I don't recall anyone begging for the roster, I asked you personally on mumble if we could use it and said that I understand if you actually planned to use it. I won't lie, we did try to mutiny the roster but were told we needed 5 out of 6 players. I don't think anyone felt "entitled", it's more so the fact that 4 of us wanted to continue playing together but playing with that same 6 the next season wouldn't have been an option.

Long story short it's a shitty situation that is only an issue because of how rosters/move-ups are done.

edit: didn't see ringo's post as I was writing my wall of text :(

beast, willing to listen and adapt to suit team
