what hasn’t safrix done? other than get a job ICANT

great vid. solid, thick, tight

think the sane conclusion here is that scout is just a free and easy class. lets ban scout

i would like it if the site 50/50d on who gets first pick after captains are chosen

I believe this was mihaly’s flow, who also pioneered the renowned “double scout uber” among other things

Real ones know its quik

RGL im sure you can still change this, its not like it was decided before the season started, if you can change the playoff structure in week 5 you can surely change it again in week 6! just copy the invite one it wont be hard!

alternatively, you could just figure this out and release it in the preseason like every other league ever. there are only like 3-4 choices for how to do playoffs, just pick one.

Qck is pretty outdated now. a lot of people will recommend artisan mousepads, generally the hien or zero? I got a hien myself and it was a big upgrade over my old qck. Artisan mousepads are expensive and ship from japan so they take a long time to arrive. personally when it came time to replace my hien i bought a razer strider instead, and the razer strider actually feels almost the exact same for a fraction of the cost ($30) and shipping time, so i would recommend getting that one if you want a more modern pad.

i got a bunch of awesom manga

not everyone wants cups to replace seasons, but I think a lot more people agree that 8 weeks regular season + playoffs sometimes going for over a month drags on

I'm working on archiving every article right now, once I'm done with that I'll see if I can get them on comp.tf as well

unfortunately esea seems to block archive.org from working with its cloudflare settings or something, so I was using archive.ph which does work just fine

Hello my friends on teamfortress.tv,

I have recently become aware that the ESEA news articles that I grew up reading and considered to be "lost media" are still up; at least some of them. When you go on the ESEA website and go to the old news archives, most of the old articles are actually not shown. I thought this meant that they were removed, since the ESEA website removed basically all ties to TF2 years ago.

IF, HOWEVER, you go to the search bar on the top right and search for "TF2", then go to advanced search and filter to "News", you can see a bunch of the old power ranking and prediction articles. (link: https://play.esea.net/search?query=tf2&index=content)

These appear to be unsorted, or sorted in some random order of relevance, so it's hard to see what exactly is there, but not everything that I remember to exist shows up in the results. I suspect this is because they aren't showing up in the TF2 search result, maybe they didn't have it in the article anywhere.

basically, I want to have a backup of these articles so they don't get lost, and organize them in a way that makes sense and allows tf2 Historians to go back and read up on them. I don't know what would be the best way to do this yet, and I also want to make sure that all the articles are accounted for (hopefully none have actually been deleted). I'm making this thread for any other boomers who might want to go back and read them.
