oprah's petrol station has a public demos page: https://petrol.tf/demo . you could have a script that parsed these demos, made a leaderboard of winrate, etc. Then gave a prizepool to the winners. would essentially create a competitive format thats flexible enough to also be a pub server. but would make that server more sweaty than it already is...

I did something similar for DM servers years ago to mixed results

if there's a server host here, we could run an mge tournament. we've already had EU players stay up and play in NA tournaments.

epic idea

reminder! this tournament is happening today. 930 est, connect mge.tf

A call for tf2 storytellers. htwo made this very cool video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onKfWzMfTX4, which highlighted a very interesting story in the tf2 jump community. there has been a couple videos like this for 6s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EDMQbWpc7k . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHtmqtsRi3I . I feel like to grow the scene, videos like this could help. I know its a lot of work, but does anyone feel inspired to make something like this? what other stories could be told?

im curious why you say that. has the meta shifted that significantly? i kinda forget what the meta used to be years ago (despite having been playing mge for 10 years)

I guess we know who the Spire King is.. at least until someone dethrones Him.

There were a lot of excuses made, but once again a 6s player proves to be the better 1v1 player against the 'MGE lords'. Time for excuses to be left at the door.

This next tournament will be for the title of best scout 1v1 player. In a scout only tournament played exclusively on badlands middle, there's not many excuses to be made. Will the MGE players call for ammomod if a 6s player wins again?
