CEVO is aware that there are usability issues with the site, but it's not like anyone set out to purposefully make a site that some people found hard to use. There isn't a lot of existing data out there on how to make a great UI/UX for a video game league website, so people gotta figure this stuff out as they go. There's such a huge amount of data to relay to users, it can be hard to learn how to best show it. Right now, all development is focused on league functionality rather than website design. At some point, resources will be freed up and the design can be looked at and tweaked again.

This is something I cannot come up with a clever excuse for. Our STV infrastructure is non-existent and that is unacceptable. As of right now, casters have to come directly to CEVO to get STV information. We're aware that this is a big problem and it's on our to-do list.

Yes. Professional, Main, and Open.

Rcon is no longer required whatsoever, and is not even provided anymore.

The whitelist will be tweaked based on community feedback. In addition, we plan to change scheduling so that teams can no longer safely ignore schedule proposals. A team will still be able to force the default time if they choose to do so, but it will require deliberate action from them that leaves no room for uncertainty. The default time will also be pushed back from 8:30 CST to 9:00 CST.

Nice find, I like the look of those.

Received and seat reserved!

Demos have been fixed and should be available for any matches played tonight or yesterday.

Stats still weren't working tonight, so after my team's match I started debugging SizzlingStats some more. Mike (lead web dev for CEVO) and I found an issue with our production server that was preventing it from properly communicating with SizzlingStats. We're in the process of fixing this issue and hope it is the last roadblock between us and functional stats. We hope to push out the fix tomorrow in time for matches.

Thank you guys for being patient,
Lange

I'm a size 11 and am willing to drop up to about $200 on a pair of shoes if it they will actually last. I'm trying to avoid sneakers, something like these are more my style but obviously the durability just isn't there.

I have to order online, I live in rural Wisconsin and have no time to go to a store.

Hey TFTV,

I'm in desperate need of shoes that can put up with an overweight dude walking multiple miles per day in them. I have worn straight through the soles on two pairs of G.H. Bass buckinghams in one year. I need new shoes in time for my orientation at One Step camp on Friday (I'm volunteering as a photographer). I realize that walking on non-broken-in shoes is dumb but I can't show up with my current shoes, they literally have holes in the sole. There will be a lot of walking and I'll be a wreck by the time we're an hour in.

I'm really struggling to find a shoe that looks good but has a durable sole. Is there such a thing as a buckingham that has a really durable sole? Really though I'll take any recommendations for good walking shoes that can take an absolute beating while still looking decent.

Thanks,
Lange

This was an error on our part. If you received an email with $0.00 stated winnings, you should have a new email with the correct amount listed. We apologize for any confusion caused, and take full credit for any humor found.

It's a LAN center, computers are provided and you couldn't bring your own PC if you wanted to. The $48 pre-pay is what gets you access to a computer.

It will not be made publicly available, and will be used on CEVO servers only.

Due to an unfortunate glitch in our distribution script, the fixes I made previously were not actually pushed out to all servers. I'm working to get this fixed now, and hopefully these patches will be properly distributed this time.

As a result, stats and demos are also not available for tonight's matches.

Bumping this for visibility to get feedback from tonight's matches. Please report any bugs you see and offer any feedback you may have!

A cheap flight from Chicago to Birmingham is about $1300. It's several hundred more if you are flying from the West Coast, and if you aren't close to a major airport like O'Hare it's even more expensive.

HLSW should still work, albeit it can be tempermental. Have you tried installing the latest beta rather than the latest stable?

I agree though that a replacement is needed. HLSW development has been stalled for quite some time.

Part of the reason is that GeeksIRC automatically hides IP addresses for all users (I think), reducing the attack surface for DDoS. One of the ways that attackers got players' IP addresses was from #tf2.pug.na and other GameSurge channels.

To hide your IP on GameSurge requires both authenticating to ChanServ and setting mode +x on yourself, which most people either don't know how to do or don't bother.
