I find it hard to find any apology made under public pressure sincere. If you had truly changed, you would have apologised before you showing remorse became dependent on you furthering your tf2 "career." But I guess any attempt to change and be better, even if for the wrong reasons, is better than none. If anything, the way b4nny has handled it is the most depressing, surely he has a pick of equally capable medics who are not bigoted?

yes being good at videogame > being non-bigoted, great point and truly the philosophy of someone leading a fulfilling life

b4nny doesn't deserve you

remember when I roasted you for being banned and still wasting your time on here and you responded by writing the n-word on my steam profile? yeah that was cool

On a serious note, I don't even know why you're turning this into an argument/getting defensive? The thread literally asks what looks more impressive. It's an inherently subjective question and you're nerding out about a player you (rightfully!) admire.

Also if we are talking media and our enjoyment of media, historical context is, in my opinion, irrelevant. Yes, I can watch a Reptile fragmovie from way back and that is technically impressive given the context in which he was playing, but I wouldn't say I enjoy watching him hit single airshots on players that did not know how to strafe yet. I would rather watch Soapymeister consistently hit nutty airshots on the best players in the world right now because that speaks to my imagination. That is the current peak of tf2 and that is what I find impressive currently. The bar will keep shifting, shots we found impressive ages ago look bland now etc. Nobody here is arguing quad's tracking isn't impressive especially given the time, but that doesn't mean I find it as impressive or enjoyable to watch as toemas's granary expert video.

ok boomer

This makes sense, although I have yet to see any live reactions, but I am guessing that will come once we get on the stage? Either way, thank you for the detailed answer and keep up the good work!

Before casting any stones, I want to compliment i69's production team for setting up what has (apart from some hick-ups at the start) been a fairly smooth and well-organised LAN. The casting has been good, the analysis has been great, and all in all I have had a pleasant experience watching.

At the same time, however, I find myself feeling a bit underwhelmed with the matches and I'm not sure whether others share this sentiment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not owed anything as a viewer and I am just happy to be spectating the first international tf2 LAN in years, but it still got me wondering why I feel less engaged watching these games than watching the latest RGL LAN. After doing some thinking, I came to the conclusion it probably came down to the camerawork.

So I had some questions!
1. Is a cheat feed being used at i69 the same way it was at RGL? I get the sense we often miss key plays during games, sometimes even watching another player watch their teammate hit an incredible shot, a perspective that can be quite frustrating as a viewer.
2. If not, is there a possibility of using a cheat feed?

If this is impossible for technical reasons, it literally cannot be helped and we just have to make peace with that. It would be impossible for anyone to expect an observer to catch every key moment/play/airshot. There is only so much you can do when there are 12 gamers on a server all shooting each other. I just feel like there are some tools available to add some additional hype to an event that is a very special one (sex number) and it appears they are either not being used at all or not to their greatest potential.

Apologies if this sounds ungrateful (promise I am not!), I am just curious about the ins and out of production and what could be done differently on the camera front.

Thank you and keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.

brexit ruined it
