infinite-And furthermore, it is my opinion (not UGC's) that the result of the HUGE number of bans and class restrictions in CEVO/ESEA have hampered growth of 6v6 over the years. 6v6 is quite small in comparison to highlander and pub TF2 in general.
1. Name a game where the major competitive community competing in serious tournaments is larger than the pub scene. Highlander is barely competitive to begin with. It's pubbing with the same 9 people every time...
2. Highlander is huge because you don't really have to even switch into the competitive mentality to play it, you just keep on pubbing and spamming like you normally do, so pub players feel like they aren't making a huge transition into an organized form of play.

I'm glad your entire huge playerbase of pubbers and pubstars was worth having most every serious player I talk to think your league is a joke (and a bad one). I have never seen UGC be taken as seriously as people do ESEA/CEVO.
