clckwrkHildrethI don't want to donate as Epsilon are no longer going to play TF2 afterwards, and don't seem to be putting much effort into the future. Not sort of team I'd want to support, I would rather support someone like Full Tilt or TLR who regularly practise and show some interest in the game's future.

For that reason I won't donate, but I wish you good luck with your fundraiser and hope you have a good LAN, it's great to see some of the best players in the game at an event like Dreamhack, so people should donate if they want to see amazing games, but I am thinking next generation.

To be fair, I think donations towards a team like Epsilon shouldn't hinge on their future in the game. Even if unofficial, TF2 at Dreamhack is a pretty big deal, especially for those who are still trying to nurture growth in the competitive scene. It shouldn't matter if numlocked doesn't play etf2l next season, or if the team as a whole is simply playing to kill time in the absence of Overwatch; the real reason you want them there is to bolster viewership for the event. And if I'm being honest, Epsilon and Reason are the lynchpins for the event. You want the best competition possible to be there and feel secure in their choice to even attend.

Epsilon has the clout to not only keep the attention of experienced players, who want to see Mike not miss a rocket for the entire round, but the play-makers, who impress potential new viewers. If you're thinking about donating to Epsilon, you should think about it as donating to TF2, because the event is more than just "another tournament." It's big, and you want to gain as much hype as possible and ride the wave through matchmaking and onto further tournaments. So, again, I don't really think numlocked potentially not playing etf2l next season should ever be a reason to not donate.

I respect this point of view, but it is a big enough reason for me, if the best team in TF2 doesn't even want to keep playing and ditches the game after one of the best TF2 events, it's quite sad for me. Still I am glad they will be there, it will be a sick tournament, if it's successful I hope the legacy of Epsilon TF2 will spread to the next generation who turn up in 2016.

I was hoping I could goad Numlocked into practising though. ;)

Also Masternoob deserves props for stepping in.

I was about to suggest a LEGO vs Epsilon showmatch to raise more money, but epsi already got the fat stacks.
