RGL killed our team

zandaHidiThere's now Ministry of Game on Wilson near the 400, however I haven't contacted them nor have I visited so I do not know if that would be appropriate for our needs. Anyone been?one of my friends has been there/talked to them before. he said they're pretty cool. might be worth looking into
Mentioned this to Hidi but Waves Gaming is another pretty good venue, worked a CS event there in the past and their staff are pretty great, have space and PCs for plenty of players, and have a really good scalable broadcast setup if we want to have games casted (there's a nice spectator area in front of the stage with a projection screen just above the stage).
Bonus points for it being accessible via public transport
Having visited Toronto a lot I think it is an absolutely beautiful city and would be a great place to LAN in terms of things to do outside of game, nice city/not a ton of crime, places to eat, afterparty spots, etc. as well as the relative closeness to east coast gamers and the decent population of TF2 players in Ontario.
The main issue however is that the majority of TF2's NA playerbase is located in the United States, and I'd wager a guess that the majority of players simply don't have a passport (or enhanced license in the case of my fellow New Yorkers) so logistically speaking that adds another 2 months of waiting and 150 dollars of cost into many player's already tight LAN budgets.
Feel free to reach out to me if you want organizing help, just not sure if it'll have enough of a draw for US players. I know back in the day LAN ETS was a thing in Quebec that had TF2 at some point, so maybe I'm wrong or ignorant, just see that being a large road block.
I love to game.
can tilt relatively often and is a religious shotgun user
however fun to play with and has vocal comms & calls
overall decent epic gamer :)
really skilled and cool players :)
might wanna post your roster so players have an idea of who they'd be playing with

I agree with this, the admins love doing this process where they say "ok so we're removing granary and explicitly replacing it with one of the maps we pre-selected to be in this new map scrim thing, of those maps which was your favorite" and pretending it is the equivalent of voting for a map change when
1) they have no proof people actually wanted to get rid of granary
2) they have no proof people would've selected that specific map to do so out of ALL possible options
3) they don't even have proof people prefer that map to granary in a 1v1 matchup
I hate this logic of starting with assumptions like "the maps need to change every season" or "the ratio of custom maps needs to go up" as if they're just facts without interrogating who agrees with you and to what extent, the best admins are glorified pollsters when it comes to this stuff, just sayin!

this is the invite admin who is substanciating pretty much what mustard is saying

sigafooThe money we got from just the LAN fee's in S2 was not going to cover all of the cost related to the LAN, let alone have any money to help support the volunteer staff who are coming out. (e.g. cover their hotels or some of their travel fee's.)
sigafoolet alone have any money to help support the volunteer staff who are coming out. (e.g. cover their hotels or some of their travel fee's.
as someone who was putting a lot of time and effort into S2 LAN and for the first few weeks of organizing was under the impression I was going to have to go uncredited as a producer I am really curious about this. Covering any staff's hotel or travel fees was never covered at any LAN organizing meeting.

The big difference between those two seasons is that one of them did not have a LAN and the other was supposed to.
The only reason we adjust those is to have a better prize pool so players can help cover their cost for coming to the Invite LAN playoffs. The reason did not adjust them back from last season was because we canceled the LAN so late, players likely already spent some money that they may not have been able to get back (flights, hotels, etc...) If we do not have a LAN this season, then the numbers will go back to normal.
Were any other options explored to help teams financially compensate for LAN? Actively helping them seek out sponsorships? Separate, voluntary fundraisers? Helping teams build sponsor decks and providing stream viewership statistics to go with those decks from RGL's S1 coverage and TFTV's S1/ESEA S31 coverage? I didn't elaborate in my convo with boxcar but there are better options than what felt like an under the table swap up of prizepools that many didn't notice at all.
Comparing ESEA's prize numbers is kind of unfair when you remember that the community didn't really get a say from ESEA and we were basically held hostage for 10 seasons, not knowing if we were going to have a season, let alone having a say in how much money was given to divisions. ESEA should be an example for RGL to learn from if anything, not a standard to slightly deviate from. Season 1 actually did a decent job of this and I actually liked this change personally; it is the huge change from that initial season, combined with a required fee on all players to pay for the venue itself that is the troubling matter.
Okay so apperently RGL have explicitly stated that there's no LAN and that the Helix venue was paid for but ARE STILL CHARGING A LAN FEE THIS SEASON

This is the fucking worst timeline
MRfunnyalienyou pay roughly the same amount as esea to not have servers provided and to have much lower prizepools
https://pastebin.com/txzBynKD
for comparison 1st place esea s30 invite was 5000
1st place IM was 600
in rgl placing 2nd in main in s1 or 1st in IM was the same payout as winning advanced in s2
i understand weighting the prizepool to the top but this is very funny
S1 invite had 53.9% of the league prizepool (4830 of 8960 USD)
S2 invite had 82.6% of the league prizepool (7680 of 9510 USD)
I knew it was bad but this is fucking egregious ROFL
