I really want to make it down to fLAN this time, but if its any where near Fites or Esports Arena (Esports Arena is still cutting it close) I won't be able to say for sure. It would be nice to have a spring LAN when the weather isn't as humid and hot, but just right. We could all go to the beach (those of you who are into that sort of thing)! PogChamp

rumor has it; There will be 20GB Fiber Optic up-link. 150 x 8 Rubberized tables (say goodbye to splinters), Oh and this http://imgur.com/a/QnGgL. All these details still need to be confirmed in the months to come, but so far everything is sounds fantastic!

I was really bummed out that there wasn't going to be a GXL this year, but where one flower dies another blooms! Although information concerning the event schedule, i.e. weather there will be a tf2 tournament or not has yet to be set in stone. I figured I would post what little info has been presented to generate hype for those who won't be able to make it out to Esports Arena in SoCal. Lets show FITES community management there is a genuine interest in such an event.

111 days, 2 hours until this happens. 12 days until airline flights become slightly/domestically more expensive. Not rushing, but could use some details plox?

I think we have been beyond that point of no return for awhile.

Valve has given the dota 2 community 65,205,763.05$+ or more in prize pools alone. Tf2 total prize pools over its entire life (going on ten years next year) has only been 284,112.07$ give or take. Valve has given an outstanding 0.00$ to that number. Dota 2 was released in 2011, while Tf2 was released in 2007. Just so everyone knows where we actually stand with Valve.

People are going to always hate on young blood, but making his first perfect game in his first season of invite; You have earned my respect and admiration.

No they don't.

Please bring this back, this might have been the best idea Kevin has ever came up with imo

anything that represents change

Well if you look at internet community building at its core, its not unlike a company. When a company is small, things are simple and usually everyone is happy because communication and transparency is easy with its consumers.

However, when a company expands beyond a point of local administration, it becomes difficult to meet the needs of the entire consumer base. Microsoft is a great example of one such company that has this problem. Even in non-profit internet organizations like tf2center or stadium, there comes a time when moderation is an issue.

I like to use the old Latin adage "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" to describe these organizations, witch directly translates to "Who will guard the guards themselves?". If you look at scrap.tf, this is an example of an organization that has remained, for the most part, transparent and straight forward.

In conclusion,

TL;DR Maybe tf2center has become overgrown, and its garden needs weeding out?

Competitive team fortress can be traced all the way back to 2003. Its primordial beginnings came in the form of a mod for quake and evolved from there. I know there are a few websites that still exist that have recordings of old quake fortress clan battles. Here is a video, apparently Digital Jedi used to be one of the better clans.
