From what I see lots of people in russian tf2 community treats the game as some sort of escape from 'le toxic tf2 community' claiming that everything is better in overwatch - ive been seeing statements like these for a while from different gamers of different skill levels; while the prizes indeed are strong in ow I still cant wrap my head around the fact this game's competitive scene is any exciting or interesting or skillful for that matter

Imo the only hope for it is tf2 production crew coming around and doing their thing and providing strong analysis along with decent commentary

Im left handed and have a small gaming keyboard (x7 g100 iirc), I crouch with Shift instead of ctrl and that was a thing for me for a while. I heard some people bind it to m2 or something but to be honest I never had any problem with crouching ever since using Shift for it

Shoutout to all the lefty tf2 gamers out there by the way

I'd not consider myself a theatre nerd but I really love Martic McDonagh, theres a week-long festival coming to my city where theaters from across the eu will be playing his best pieces, looking forward to that

I also would love to see A Streetcar Named Desire or just see any Broadway show thanks to Birdman

Lastly I remember going to Saint-Petersburg and literally the only 'cultural' place I went there was room-sized theater where they played my favorite piece - Griboyedov's 'The Woes of Wit', that was astonishing

Fortress Forever is cool and people even play pugs there

Other than that try Ratz Instagib, although its pretty inconsistent in terms of playerbase for some reason I encountered a lot (I mean A LOT) of tf2 competitive players there, plus it has hats plus its really fun

Thinking about anything else made me sad coz if Quake Champions isnt gonna be good, the genre is pretty much demised

Edit: since people started mentioning non-arena fps shooters I suggest to try DoD, its pretty alive and actually tons of fun when you understand the mechanics; Id include Pirates, Knights & Vikings or whatever its called too buf not exactly sure if many people play it these days; overall lots of Source multiplayer games got their small communities so theres a lot to choose from

Probably other games from my Steam Library, I don't think I've launched even half of them thanks to tf2

Just saying his justification of making shitty exploit videos is pure bs, besides I just felt like telling this story, dont be unhappy bout it

I remember playing mm back when it was in beta against delfy and his russian stack, we were winning so he decided to put sentry under the point and that became impossible to cap, that sure was a good way to 'help valve with fixing exploits', his teammates vent apeshit over the fact theyre winning coz of a bug, delfy is a bitch, fuck him and his 'friends'
