I feel like pugchamp was really the last time I felt like pugs were in a good way, so I'd love to see a simple / clean website style system like that again. That said, I'm not around as much anymore so I could be wrong / missing something.

Things I liked:

1. Adding up on specific classes with just one click was dope and made picking teams really fun, incentivized captaining, and gave captains so many options / avoided the problem of, "I picked you to play XYZ not XYZ you're throwing" style complaints.
2. The stats on pugchamp were cool. I liked knowing how many pugs I had played and on what classes. Also gave captains a vague idea of what to do with players they didn't recognize. If you don't know a player in an inhouse pug you really have no indication at all of what classes they play regularly.
3. It had the option to run captain/picking pugs for higher and mid level players OR mixchamp for players that didn't feel like they'd get picked in higher or mid level pugs if they weren't well known.
4. I didn't have to be added in a discord voice channel in order to add up for a pug

I don't remember why pugchamp died tho, so maybe I'm missing something huge that contradicts all of this.

Bump

I didn't even know yomps personally and this still hit me in the gut. If anyone who did know him personally needs someone to talk/vent too, feel free to add me.

RIP to a legend.

The team name Bird Noises and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE being the tag still makes me laugh.

True. Happy pride month y'all.

Still looking for 1-2 more subs

The fact that there are currently riots going on all around the US because of the police state sanctioned murder of a black man mere days ago, but people are still going "why can't I say the n-word in Chinese :( " is absolutely fucking wild.

tftv never ceases to amaze me.

This. Delivering a pugging system that is 1 connected to the main NA league and 2 has multiple different skill levels that makes everyone able to pug in the same place without getting rolled or feeling like they're in noob jail will make for better, more evenly matched, pugs and massively impact how people can get into the comp scene and grow as players.

A good, clean, and efficient pugging system tied to the main league will be the best thing for TF2 so long as every skill level of player can pug there and have fun. For lower level players, pugchamp is elitist and scary, for upper level players TF2Center is a waste of time, and inhouses are too insular to help the growth of the game. RGL has a very large responsibility when it comes to getting this right.

We're looking for 1 or 2 more subs for this season of Advanced. Please add me for substitution spot.

Not even going to discuss the merit of this ban or any previous bans, but what I will say @sigafoo is that if you keep creating situations where the community disagrees with your ban system, so much so that there are multiple threads per year about how bad your league is at this, then the moment there is any other option no one will play RGL. Even if there never is another league option, wouldn't you rather be a friend of the community than some weird strict father figure?

I would consider making some changes to your platform when you have this many regular complaints.

Awesome medic. Gamer.

You're so much more committed to shitposting than anyone I've ever met, to the point where it is almost admirable.
