Honestly, I just want to shout out the entire NA TF2 scene in general.

I attended this LAN knowing practically nobody, and feel like I was welcomed with open arms. I had a fantastic time meeting and hanging out with everyone, from spectators and players to Fireside staff themselves.

LAN blues already kicking in as more and more people start their trips home, and I realise that in a few hours I will fly across the Atlantic far away in both distance and time zone from my new friends. Incredibly keen to come over again should a similar event run in the future. Missing everyone so much already.

ps: would love to have some intercontinental representation in Poland next year

Tbf, there is a version of product called noduct that has a load of the sightlines nerfed to make sniper weaker, would be interesting to see if the idea works and if the sightline nerfs have meaningful impact when snipers aren't in play.

New HL season literally has a newcomer div (called "Fresh"). I agree though that some newbie pug groups would be great for onboarding new players, since currently it doesn't really exist. I spent much of last season and offseason mentoring a mostly completely new team to comp, and feel their pain in the difficulty of finding places to play.

Understatement of the century. Had a fabulous weekend, made that way for me by all the great people who I spent it with. Going to keep shoutouts short and sweet, as I could go on forever:
- Shoutout the bouldering gang who got up early on Saturday morning to travel across the city for a bouldering session (Cake, Ike, Kirby, Labricecat, Nils and Royal). Particular shoutout has to go to Kirby though for sending two V4s in his first ever session!
- Shoutout Supra for the obvious reasons, and shoutout to everyone who helped him to organise the LAN or fund it via donations.
- Finally shoutout Anti, Jmax and Not Steven in particular for their continued support throughout the LAN.

I could genuinely go on forever, this scene is amazing and full of amazing people. CU@ next year (plz say there is a next year)

Summary:
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because kn was already dead

Fixed :)

ETF2L will be having a fresh meat cup middle of next year, probably worth trying to find a team for that. It's a 6s cup that lasts a bit over a month and it's aimed at getting new people into 6s.

Other than that the new player experience in EU is kinda rough. Best bet is to watch some educational youtube content on TF2 comp and pick a class to learn, then play a bunch of TF2Center lobbies on that class and use the ETF2L website to find an Open team. Next main ETF2L season is a few weeks away.

This lineup is hype af. So excited

Demoknight TF2...

On soil texture charts the %s have to add up to 100 still. So if someone is very high %powerlifter, they have to be low % in both other categories.

I will recommend The Talos Principle (1 and 2) to anyone and everyone. Great puzzle games
