A free league (a la UGC) has never given NA the same results for competition as ESEA. As mentioned before, CEVO is likely to not pick us up. While this client issue has evidently driven some people mad, Rick had the most sane post of any person in this thread.
If you're seriously concerned about backdoors and the like, unplug your router, turn off your computer and throw it out the window. There are plenty of ways into your PC that are also always running. We do not have a second league that we can rely on for high level competition, and ESEA has some serious legal bindings from their previous fiasco (none of tf2 was affected by it btw, absolutely none of us were.)
This is idiotic and untrue, first of all unless you install something to allow remote access and leave it unprotected and then port map it so the entire internet is able to get to it you're pretty unlikely to get hacked and backdoored. Even if you did it requires effort on the part of the attacker finding a way into your shit or luring you into a site and you letting your browser run whatever code. The difference is: with people running exploits on the internet, they generally aren't getting you to pay them for the privilege of running their code while laughing at the stockholm syndrome of their "users" as they make up bullshit to justify it to themselves.
