As the Upper Bracket winner Se7en will have 1 map advantage. To win this Grand Final Se7en has to win 2/4 maps and Arctic Foxes has to win 3/4 maps.
why isn't it a proper final

I hate these Anime trap boys and people who are obsessed about them

I can't stop being an anxious, awkward fuck and it's annoying the shit out of me I just want to be myself and enjoy myself around my friends and coworkers without being inhibited by my own thoughts FUCK

Define what's a proper final then to you

One of my online friends got her computer and phone taken away from her indefinitly by her psychotic parents and I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't able to speak to each other for a year or more. Also she was threatening to hurt herself and now there's nothing I can do about it.

Why does Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell have to fuckin die

I wouldn't mind my upstairs neighbors as much if every step they took didn't make my fan rattle

I hate it when people force their interests onto me and IF I don't like the thing they like, they end up hating me or keep bringing it up as if they expect me to suddenly enjoy that thing just like them.
I'm sorry I'm not a mirror image of yourself

mouthbreathers are annoying

in thermo, i just took one of those impossible tests where nobody finishes and the average is like 40%. the moment i start walking to get food, i realize i forgot to get my free points from the property plots

IM PISSED

people who order steaks well done, fuck off

I've always been curious but never had any chef friends to ask this. When the stories of trump eating well done steak with ketchup came out, how did you guys react to that?

The new The Front Bottoms album sucks >:(

I REGRET MAKING THIS THREAD
upvote me

=

i wish i could play anything at a decent level

this one really hits home for me

this sounds fake ive never heard a bad front bottoms song : (

I miss old TF2 so much, I think it about so much and it's terrible.

I miss how many good players there used to be. I feel like now everybody just talks about how dead this game is and it makes me hate it. I remember just completely sucking and being the youngest player at all times, but it was great because looking up was always a mystery, now I feel like I know the name of nearly every decent player. I miss irc pugs and how active they were. I miss Classic Mixup so fucking much. I miss the movies Cla, Naf, and ikpure would make. I miss watching old streams. I miss the old invite circlejerks. I miss when hats and cosmetics didn't look fucking ridiculous. I miss getting up early to watch ESEA lans. I miss scrimming UGC teams in the early fucking afternoon. I miss playing on my shitty computer. I miss defy just completely shitting on people on the forum. I miss the time when b4nny was a beta cuck and actually likeable. I miss the .iT servers. I miss shitty gravelpit games. I miss the time when all the top players actively played the game.

It makes me so angry that I can't have that again. It's been like 4 years. This game won't ever be like it was for me in middle school, but I keep playing it thinking that it can be like that again. Even when I'm not actively playing the game I get so upset that this game isn't what it used to be. I wish it could go back to that more than anything :(

welcome to the future, old man

I'm sick of people irl who don't even think about their actions

In my school's Hockey Academy (welcome to Canada, fuckers) a bunch of dumbass grade 10's were vaping in the dressing room and of course, they got caught, and we all had to skate the toughest skate most of us will ever do in our minor hockey careers. (ringette line 1,2,3 times, close blue line 1,2,3 times etc.. and 5/10/15 pushups/situps/burpees for every suicide we completed). Don't skate hard enough, the entire group had to do it again. Tight turns instead of complete stops, whoever did it had to repeat their suicide. pure agony. good cardio i guess.

A friend of mine who is just a couple years old recently got a job at a hospital. This friend was fired for what he described as a "minor theft issue". He would occasionally take bottles of coffee because he was basically there alone every night. He said to me (and his employer) that he was going to pay them off *the next day* which he did one time only, and when his employer found out that he didn't pay for a majority of these bottles he was fired because of thievery. Of course my friend complained to me about how it really wasn't a big deal but when you have a job you have to recognize that you are held to a much higher standard than everyone else and it pisses me off when people say "it isn't a big deal" about things like this in a professional setting.

On the note of the 2nd paragraph, there are people at my school (just like every other school) who can't grasp the concept of due dates and get upset when their teachers don't take in their work that is 2 weeks overdue. 1 or 2 days? sure that's fair to say that the teacher is uptight, but beyond that, I struggle to sympathize with you.

/end rant

so ur one of those kids huh

fucking rampbugs

this ^ and when casters say x player beefed their rollout instead of calling it a rampbug.

i think you might be misunderstanding my tone of voice, not trying to sound like one of <those kids> because I know some of them irl, the types who only listen to "real music" and shit like that. I guess i am sounding pretty bitchy reading this back but I'm not really trying to be. this probably could've gone in a different thread or in no thread at all :shrug:

I hate that I get demotivated so easily, if that's a word. Sometimes when I'm in a groove of productivity there's almost nothing that can stop me from getting something done, but after that it's just like everything stops. No wind in the sails, no gas in the tank, nothing.

I've been this way since high school with schoolwork and I don't know how to get myself out of this rut that I keep falling back into. I'll have one week where I'm staying on top of everything, reading my textbook for class in advance, and getting assignments done well before their due dates. Then after it just seems like there's nothing that I want to do more than be on the other side of the planet from my studies and responsibilities. I'll sleep, or play TF2, or just do something not productive and let things pile up until the last minute, leaving me at crossroads like where I am now with writing this where I just want to go to bed but I know that I can't because I need to finish something, leading to me just procrastinating more and losing sleep for it.

It's not uncommon for me to want to just get up and leave all that I've done so far with schooling behind (I'm in my 3rd year currently) and just start over, but I know that I can't. I keep being told that I'm so close to finishing but I always feel like I'm so far away from "the finish line", which nowadays doesn't even feel that satisfying to cross anymore. I can't just throw away my parents' money to go off and chase some pipe dream that I have for myself which I haven't even started towards. I know that's incredibly selfish and would only make me feel even worse about myself.

I want to have some sort of a career in esports, but I feel like if I were to take on another responsibility that I'd end up biting off more than I can chew, which would end up causing everything in my life to be thrown completely out of balance, forcing me to start far back at square one, which is a massive fear of mine because I know that something that takes years to build up can be destroyed in seconds. And through the passing of many of dear family members, I've come to understand that time is one of the most valuable resources that we have, and we truly don't know how much time we have left in this world.

Sorry about the length or if it wasn't truly venting, but this was something I just needed to get off of my chest because it seems to be getting harder and harder to find a reason to keep going forward. My best IRL friend went abroad to study in Hong Kong and he's basically the only person that I actively talk to outside of my immediate family and online friends, which very few of them I talk to on a regular basis to begin with. My life isn't exactly in shambles, but I've definitely seen better days.

Edit: If I also make another post in this thread upset at myself for not studying sooner it's because I have what are essentially 3 finals in the next 48 hours and a lot of work that's not completed and I'm really bad sometimes at taking care of myself

why dont people understand that yelling for a minute straight in comms about a "mistake" (might not actually be one) doesn't fucking help
like yea maybe you don't agree with something but thanks to your fucking whining we didn't hear our roamer's call that there's a scout behind us and now he's fisted our whole team

some people are like "if I see some dumb shit imma say it" but when that dumb shit is 2 soldiers from pc uber when u push into mid with 30% ad you're essentially clogging the comms and being retarded as well

im also tired of playing in teams that think the scouts can do whatever the fuck they want and the rest of the players have to do all the hard work
yesterday my new team scrimmed viaduct for the first time and ill admit I didnt do well but im getting blamed for my med getting repeatedly fisted by bombs when im a roamer (I normally play pocket but we do double roam on via)
like wtf do you want me to do double airshot every solly that does that? or let the class thats ACTUALLY GOOD AT PROTECTING THE MEDIC shoot them out of the sky?????? which makes more sense? ofc the "pocket" should be stuck on the healbeam instead of making space or holding positions

on top of that I had to server mute 2 bots that only have dm and put 0 thought into the game because their calls could be summarised as follows:
aghAaghAaAaaaAAAAA gatsAN WHY U DO DAT SHUTUP YOUR BAD MAINCALL!!!!!.
O MY GOD THESE SCOUTS CAN ONLU DODGE NO AIM THESE SOLDIERS ONLY SPLASH
gUYS dont listen to NOBSAN
heal meeeee

its mindblowing how many people like this exist
its even worse because I have pretty bad dm compared to other people at my skill level so they assume I dont know what im doing but I end up having to explain midgame/after scrim my decision making and it makes sense there but of course its badsan he cant know what hes doing

almost all of the money i have made in my life has been spent on my classes this semester, and i failed all of them. the little bit of money i had left i spent on a graphics card that requires a 6-pin pci cord that my shitty power supply doesnt have.

that's rough buddy

fully agree. talk about mistakes and criticism after the game is done. if you do it during you're just cluttering comms and making your own team tilt
