the best part of having a team-- making events on our steam group

i miss being low/mid

7/10

:)

Scrims are far different than real match situations. Scrims a lot of times for us is trying different strategies or lineups. You can try to gauge how a team will do with scrims but the reality is you won't know until the season starts. Think of preseason football or baseball. Means jack. Even though my team looks pretty stacked it doesn't mean much unless we play well as a unit. And we're not the only stacked team either so i'm still expecting it to be competitive at the top anyways. As far as "sandbagging" goes, there's a rule that prevents us from starting directly into IM or MAIN so there's nothing we can do about it except go legit and start from the bottom up. Should be a fun season though.

My teams final roster is:

Medic: blinK
Pocket: TicTack
Roamer: Phaser
Demoman: drcameltoe
Scout: cringe
Scout: Sal

Backups: SolidSnake, Spadez, Fog, Vile, Index, Oafmeal, St.Patrick

That's that. Good luck this season everyone! And definitely watch out for those brazilian teams especially on certain maps like viaduct o.O

It's not like your team's gonna be around for more than a season.

I didn't really see the need for that post

It's like you're flossin your new car or some shit

remember when you kill binded and didn't go to mid in your esea match on granary.

lol

Yeah that was funny as hell. Did we still win that match I forget?

Also I thought this thread was for happenings so I figured i'd post what was actually happening instead of assumptions. That was the reason for my post. Also we have a lot of backups so I clarified our lineup. I understand a lot of people are angry that we're in open but like I said I can't directly apply to IM or Main. Oh well. :(

People are upset because they're afraid of playing against good players.

It will happen. Personally I am over the entire fuck you wtf and just accepted it for fact. Hope we can scrim sometime so we can gauge how much better we have gotten.

Basically. Like i've never heard of Dagger before or Ringo but I assume they're trying to move up the rankings which is fine. It is a competition after all. Truth is if you're good you're going to move up regardless so don't worry what teams you're going up against just keep practicing and top teams will take notice. Look at Shrugger for example, or Ma3la.

As far as pot goes, the last team I was on was xensity and we were together for around 4 seasons? Not exactly sure. This team is basically half of xen without arc and solid. You make a lot of sense though!

In TFC when we created new teams we were allowed to choose which division we went into depending on our roster and the admins over saw it and had to approve it. I think that's how esea should do it. I actually agree with you all it is sand bagging and it's not right but it is what it is. ESEA needs to get on top of that and use judgement.

we had a good scrim last night with u guys blink but i think you had a ringer. didn't rlly feel like u were trying new strats it seemed like standard play to me.

YEEE

I'm one of their backups and had to play for blink last night. It was standard play because I was out of my element and making bad calls and plays on medic.

I'm not playing open so I really have no reason to care, I just thought it was really full of yourself to make a post like that. If it's really that important to someone to know your roster they'll find out. Seemed unnecessary to me

Really. So if you're not playing in open, and you don't care, then why are you reading/browsing the 10 page post titled "ESEA S15 NA Open Happenings/Predictions"?

It's okay buddy I understand. I explained myself. You should just stop. Good luck!

I have no reason to care about the status of your team, that doesn't stop me from thinking the post was arrogant. If you're against me speaking what I think I honestly don't give.

ur gettin dangerously close to crossing over to gotfrag blinky

turn back now

:D i miss gotfrag.

when everyone is posting stuff like "who is on this team" "this guy is in for this guy" "anyone scrim these guys?" thats why i chimed in with my original post and just stated the facts so the questions got answered regarding our team. didn't know it was arrogant to post a roster lineup? or maybe you interpreted it as being arrogant because it's a good lineup? i don't know.

i just like pointing out stupidity. it would be like me saying oooo you don't care about us open people because you're in IM now waaaa so arrogant. post your IM teams link again i'm in awe. claim to not care about open yet you're reading 10 pages and posting in the thread as if you are. i don't even know who you are but i could care less what you think either i was just explaining myself in a semi appropriate manner to the people who did want answers. i'm done now though! gl to everyone this season :)

.

yo u guys r sperging up the gossip thread pls stop

on a semi-related note I think you nerds are overestimating blinky's team by a long shot right now, but I'm not sure because they only scrim bad open teams

They're just practicing how to make drama for when they ever make invite.

COULDN'T CARE LESS. NOT COULD. COULD IMPLIES THAT YOU STILL GIVE A FUCK.
