having one map doesnt hurt the game. thats like saying soccer/football or any sport will get old because it only has one field

I think it's actually like 4-5 100k tourneys + a deal with MLG maybe? Heard from ppl in the SM scene that it is likely to be picked up by MLG, and that ubisoft set aside $1 mil for SM tourneys.

i only prefer gunboats soldier because i have to juke/reactively dodge their rockets on top of everything else. scouts are harder to hit and you still need good positioning though.

blaze gunboats/equalizes vs me all the time in mge, and i sticky vs him. its the best practice by far for demoman in mge, and really good practice for the roaming soldier as well.

aiming isn't the only aspect of dm. Avoiding damage is huge and if you just sit there trying to hit every shot yet you eat every sticky/pipe then you're not really getting better.

For what it's worth we've been able to beat very good invite teams with phaser on scout and soldier. pick this guy up!

He worded it wrong but has the right idea. ESEA doesn't bring in any new people to the competitive scene, and I can't say that it will in the future, but if we help grow ESEA-TF2 then the scene might get more recognition and grow from there. ESEA as an organization would also pay more attention and be more invested into the scene.

The game is still in beta and they are planning on adding a bunch of stuff to improve movement in the next version according to one of the IPL guys i talked to.

Tf2 is by far the better game imo, but shootmania is a lot of fun to play. If I wasn't playing tf2 i would probably be playing it.

Not that it even matters but my mouse is actually steelseries sensei and ingame sens is 1.2, So around ~10 inch 360. I dunno how mx518 got there, havent used it in like 3 years

Was a lot of fun. Next one might be on Tuesday, but regardless I'll be there for the ones next weekend.

we mentored all of last season, i think this is the first season where the majority of our team isnt mentoring, but yeah were willing to mentor again.

you just wouldn't know unless you added br0 players on steam, people on the team have always accepted requests and mentored anyone that asked. Just because it hasn't been advertised doesn't mean it didn't happen.

i'll try my best to make it happen, but you cannot fathom how computer illiterate blaze is.

I'll talk with the team later and see how they want to handle that, I'd definitely be down to mentor contributors.

I don't think there was any other team, otherwise it would have been a 4 team tourney :P

edit: If people took offense then i apologize, but to be fair we showed up knowing we had no chance of qualifying with that lineup yet we played so that it wasn't a 2 team tourney.

After 2 bo3's it was clear we couldn't even put up any sort of a fight or a good show for the fans. We had 4 more bo3's of our own and 4 more LG/mix bo3s to wait around for, I just think a lot of teams would do the same thing in our situation.

The extv tourney was scheduled for the weekend after LAN, after finding out that Dave_AC or someone couldn't make that weekend extv rescheduled it to the weekend after which unfortunately mesr and blaze couldn't play in. We tried to get the date changed again but since i46 was creeping up they said they couldn't push it back any further.

I don't fault extv for not accommodating us, but you have to keep in mind that it's hard to be motivated for a tourney without 2 starters who were actually our 2 main callers at the time. On top of that soup only had 1 hour available that day, so we were basically down 3 people and after soup left we just decided it was pointless.

tl;dr extv rescheduled to a day that 3 of our players couldn't play, not their fault but getting 5-0'd stomped in bo3's then waiting around for mix/lg to finish their bo3s just so we could get stomped again wasn't our idea of a fun weekend
