I think that's a result of the "flashing" effect, where the uber lasts for a bit after you aren't ubered anymore.

When you switch your medigun off, I think it slows down the uber drain; so, if you switch off until your "flash" runs out, then switch back, you could potentially extend your self-uber. Right?

there you go

Hey all. Think can't commit to the team anymore, too busy making fat cash.

Scrims are Sunday-Thursday 9-11 EST. Please have experience.

Same. I'm on a 3570k though.

Wasn't Odissius the same kid who was crying for 50 pages about 105 FoV?

What a professionally worded response!

Anyway, here's how I see it; both "sides" have valid points. Deathanchor, nobody is saying your job is easy, or claiming that you're awful and should kill yourself (if they are they suck).

The issue is that you have the problems since you first started writing for ESEA. Take the time to proof read and fact check before you post something that a) you're getting paid for and b) is supposed to be the premier coverage of the division. Plenty of people have written articles for this site for free that are of similar quality.

Yes, there are 60 teams in open; however, you were only writing about 10. If you're going to only select a few, then why would you poke around all 60? Focus 10% of your time on each team, instead of 1.6%. Do some fact checking if you're going to make claims, or just don't bother making them.

I get that it's really tough to do a preseason evaluation of a 60 team division, because it's hard to say which team will be one to watch before any matches have been played and a clear upper sub division has been established. Because of this, I would almost rather see interviews of recurring teams, interesting players that have started over in open to try and climb back up, etc. rather than just reading a bunch of guesses (nothing against your opinions, but as you yourself has mentioned, it's hard to come up with anything concrete week 0).

My point is, all of this backlash may be really harsh and unnecessarily strong, but it's still criticism. Instead of just telling people they're wrong and you don't appreciate it, maybe you should do something different to get a better response? Just a thought.

shut up

I had that problem too, but I forgot how I fixed it :x I think it was the encoder I chose? Or something along those lines. Tinker with your settings.

Edit: I just realized this wasn't a very helpful post but oh well.

The biggest problem with TF2 as an e-sport is that Valve is in control. We can make all of the third party websites and some plugins we want, but as far as I know, there will never be a better way to spectate the game, add live stats as they happen, rewind live games, etc.

They also have a ton of power to enhance the player base and make the game more attractive for sponsors. These threads always come down to the same thing: there's no reason for people who are outside of TF2 to come to TF2 unless they love playing it.

I've never once seen a professional sports player calling anybody "trash", "shit", etc. without it becoming a major PR disaster.

If you can't enjoy playing a game without trashing on everybody who might be worse than you, that's pretty sad to be honest. Nobody wants to play a game against someone constantly spewing poop from their mouths, and especially at the top level, where you're meant to be a respected role model for newer players to follow.

Wow rude.

Seriously in what frame of mind do you have to be in to write all of this out and think it's a good idea to hit the "post" button? I would seek professional help because this is beyond scary.
