please stop waiting until the very last minute to schedule an "upcoming events" page for NA matches

when i was first in invite i would be asked almost every single week day when we were playing our matches

as far as i am aware this was to help the producers set up things more on time come match day

i've seen EU matches scheduled on upcoming events three days in advance

this is really aggravating to read because no rule can be enforced if no one fucking reports it

idk how stuff works in eu land though

Posted this on the pugchamp thread, but I'll post it here again for those who probably don't wanna check that thread:

The rules have been updated: https://pug.champ.gg/rules/

- "Avoid attempting to play in games with players far above your skill level (particularly through being a captain or substituting for another player)"

- "Once you have received server info for the game, promptly connect to the voice and game server. If you are not present within five minutes, you may be removed and penalized."

It's stated in the rules but just in case it's hard to understand the amount of time allowed by offclassing has also been decreased. (Used to be about 1/3 of the pug, but we're going to decrease it to 1/4).

A lot more admin discretion is going to be used going forward along with these rules.

if u watched that cannibal guy from vice he said the part with fat tasted the best so let's go with fat in this theory

Will discuss with erynn about implementing better offclassing rules and readying up within a certain time frame.

even if etf2l were to only care about skill then this shitty player would still be banned

I have hung out with this person multiple times within the last two weeks and have not once witnessed any of this whining.

I can say with extreme certainty that yerb has the DM to hang around in any level of IM and the only thing I believe he is lacking is in the brain, but it would be pretty easy to give him the proper info he needs to make up for it. I think mid IM is a pretty good level for them.

I played with Jarrett for multiple seasons in Highlander, and I am his friend. I would stay up with this guy until 3 in the morning to hear him talking about HIGHLANDER. How he wanted to get better. Constantly doing demo reviews. He would always be practicing his DM on top of that. There was a period of time where I spent practically four seasons straight trying as hard as I could to play on an ESEA team with him. I could never imagine how great of a teammate he would be to have. His maincalling was magical, he's a playmaker, smart player, and an extremely nice guy. He literally solo raised the bar for me to what an amazing teammate could actually be like.

Sigh has better DM. That is literally it. If you read arekk's post for why he was cut from Froyotech it was literally because he was too passive and didn't listen to their input to improve as a player. I am making no effort to discredit sigh's ability as a player. I think he is amazing, but the reasoning for cutting Jarrett for "not being aggro" and then picking up sigh is honestly stupid. This is such a band-aid fix and it's gonna help little to none. Again no discredit to sigh. After playing with him on LAN he is an amazing player. He just needs a team that plays around him. This is not that team.

This is honestly super frustrating to read about. This guy was dedicated to your team for SEASONS on end and I know for a fact he would be willing to listen to any of your advice. You simply gave up on your teammate - who never gave up on you - and cut him off. I understand and apologize for the extra aggression which is due to Jarrett being my friend. But this is mega pussy shit.

..... i thought you were knuckles (pete) this entire time

you're a pocket main

One of the dumbest things I have ever witnessed from a team. If I wasn't on Froyotech I'd snatch jarrett up in a heartbeat.

really annoying how valve are selling out tf2 to a BR format, and on top of that almost took the exact same artstyle from fortnite. all originality from a dev i love is long gone

I'm just saying you're a volatile player. Nothing about your teams. Never in my life have I seen someone consistently rage in pugs, default to immediately calling people "nigger" and "tranny" when they're upset in a pug (on top of that you rage sub your entire team and then rq yourself!!), and your difficulty to be an actual human being is probably why you have maintained being so mediocre at the game.

You can attack me in anyway you wish. I do not have a friend circle in TF2, and I hear much more clever insults from 15 year olds who just figured out how to install this game. Considering how you are as a person, it wouldn't shock me your brain development never grew pass that age either.
