if you try to attract sponsors to this game no one is willing to buy the sponsor's product which is why we have no sponsors. marketplace.tf takes a loss on every sponsorship they do for tf2 events and it's out of goodwill. the community is not worth investing in which makes this idea unfeasible.

an average airbnb for LAN in a city like philadelphia/chicago for 6 players*** would probably be around $750+ not including meals for a weekend of LAN. then unless you have a budget airline like frontier/spirit/allegiant to the LAN you're looking at a flight cost of ~$250-$300 per person. multiply by 6 and flight costs + airbnb total will near $2000. Then you have to get meals for the weekend and you'd be deep in the red. we haven't even gotten to talking about venue costs and then paying STAFF to get to the venue to help run the event.

you should ask somebody with deep pockets to fund this :DDD. maybe we should ask saudi arabia and their blood oil money! ik it's a troll post since it's billdozer but just saying that this is completely unfeasible and the reason why no one has been successful in such a venture

8:30/9 PM pregame 9:30 matchtime ET imo. west coast gamers getting off at 5 should have ~30-45 minutes to get thru shitty cali/seattle rush hour traffic and at least play 1 half of a pregame

We plan to announce a 6s cup during the RGL 6s Off season soon. Stay tuned. $600 prize pool base :)

Looking for producers atm, my internet has become unstable recently and it's put us down a producer. hmu on discord if you're willing to produce (or learn how to produce/observe, i can set you up once our new overlay is done) - siyo_.

I don't think it's his fault lol. If he were to overstep his boundaries as an owner and impulsively make decisions on behalf of the admin team then that's a huge overstep of his position. He's not the head of the admin team lmao and nobody wants to be an admin for 6s anymore. We've already ran out the majority of admins who were passionate about even being an admin for the league--being an admin is literally soulsucking and a negative net return. It's even harder to be an AC admin when Valve does jackshit with its own anticheat. So much time you have to put in analyzing demos just to investigate one person when it should've already been handled by the game's AC itself

Vouch, they have been a great team to work with and collaborating with many of their crew for the past few years has been seamless and easy.

We are already up to $1830 in terms of fundraising within the first two days. Thank you all so much :)
