Absolutely, it was kind of a "first attempt"; it will be revised later.

EDIT: Also, thanks for the encouragement. :) MAKES ME WANT TO WRITE HARDER.

Sorry, yeah, this has already been suggested and is the reason why I'm involved with teamfortress.tv in the first place.

Writing a guide is pretty extensive work, and I'm going through drafting mode at the moment; that's actually what that Guide button at the top is supposed to exactly do (except it doesn't do anything at the moment).

I'm hurrying through the guide ASAP. :)

Bumping, as we have a scout spot opened. We'll be trying out a couple people this week (we talked to you already, most likely), and probably more extensively in next week or week and a half.

LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING YOU OUT!

EDIT: To clarify, the original topic post is updated. :)

And then everyone else will see how much fun we're having.

EDIT: RE: exposure: YES.

Full time eSPORTS ATHLETE + game designer + musician on tour would be ridiculously fun.

Or Valve or somewhere equally as eccentric. I got close, once.

Yes. We're fleshing them out. They will be absolutely extensive and, of course, appeal to everyone.

We're pretty excited to see the reception on this; we think it's the right move for the TF2 community, for a lot of reasons.

This has been raised over and over; it'd be far more expensive and complicated (i.e. huge chance to fail) to try and get TF2 instated at a major event that doesn't have it yet. Not to mention everyone in eSports is holding on to their wallets because it's in "careful investment" mode right now.

Please. No more.

Fact of the matter is, eSports is still incredibly new; this means sponsors will go to only 2, maybe 3 games at most. That's LoL and SC2. FPSes just aren't popular right now.

Again, it all boils down to stream viewership, literally.

As much as all of us on these forums would love to see this, there are a ways to go before it can happen; namely, having a massive spectator base.

Why? Because running an event at something like MLG is pretty expensive; it requires an investment. Somewhere, something has to guarantee that a sponsor (most likely, a sponsor for something like this is absolutely required; IPL, and MLG, I'm guessing, is hesitant to pick up a game if the developer is not involved) will make a return on the money.

So, really, what we should be focusing on is growing the playerbase; sponsors, and of course, tournaments, will come naturally after that.

Well, that got angry fast.

Spike is a great person to be around; pretty good DM, and in general knows what he needs to do. Has great potential. Definite pick up. GOOD LUCK SPIKE!

New development, we have our scouts set, so I apologize for the potential scouts that applied. :/ I'll do what I can to get you guys teams, or have you make teams with each other.

EDIT: Not anymore! As of post/edit.

You really like working long hours, don't you? :)

Always with the rep. When is round 2?

THANKS MAN! So does that mean jacob isn't a great guy? I don't think he's here to defend himself. ;)

The primary thing is Tabletop for iPad (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tabletop/id436080882?mt=8). We also were responsible for iMPC and iMini (with AKAI and Arturia, respectively). Apparently we've done some work with a lot of other tech places too (hi John), but that was long before my time (and John's, I think).
