the301stspartanSideshowIn my opinion, the showmatches kinda scared LG before i46 and that made them really analyse Epsilon and then they raped them at lan. I hope Epsilon don't get cocky because of this and think they can win, it was obviously ping but very fun to watch!
Of course they can win. If they couldn't, people would not be paying 9000+$ to see the match.
Yeah oops I didn't mean win I meant like roll HRG without practising or analysing anything.

No idea why they didn't just use an East Coast US server. The west coasters on HRG would ping about the same as the Euros, and the pings would all be playable.

dfymebplay on a NY server next time sheesh
agreed, duno why they used a dallas server at first. players in the UK can ping 90-100+ to NYC servers, also west coast players would hit around the same, would of been a lot more even
I agree and for broder it will be much more extreme. Sweden/Finland/Latvia will get 130-150 ping even to NY.
I'd suggest:
1st map: NY
2nd map: UK (or whatever is best for HRG in EU)
3rd map: NY (or flip coin, it's pretty irrelevant)

gg. really fun to play and I'm even more excited about i49 now. just remember that showmatches mean nothing, it's just to get more donations.

True story, 200 ping is just too high. HRG got crushed trough their ping.

the thing about playing on dallas/fr is that not only does the other team get 160+ ping, but the home team would get really incredible ping (below 50). the reason the games become such a roll are because of the ping difference.
on a server like new york, I personally get around 100, but the EU players would still get anywhere between 110-150. the pings will still be ridiculously high, but the ping difference is much smaller, actually creating competitive/interesting games.

As people have said previously, this wasn't to have a "super fair balanced game", it was to, I guess raise awareness for the fundraiser and assist HRG in getting there while building hype for the event at the same time.
Regardless of scores today, i49 will be interesting. Shoutouts to everyone who donated today (I think it got like somewhere between 1-2k?) Awesome stuff.

this seems like a much better idea than the 2 extremes

the fact that banny can still do 335 ddm against the best team in europe with 200 ping is pretty amazing

The only difficult thing is deciding which of Greenland's hundreds of TF2 servers to use.

Not bad. Not sure how good it would be for Eastern Europeans like broder though.

Come to think of it, looking at 2D maps gives you a really distorted view. Looking at the real situation:

Southern Greenland is pretty much straight between Europe and West/North USA.
It's only the routing, and the fact polar bears don't know how to operate TF2 servers, that makes it impossible.
