Not quite. Now that Velocity has won, assuming there are no upsets with the mid level teams loosing to LunatiK or winning against froyo, it'll come down to two matches in week 9. Meat Market vs Velocity and Meat Market vs Faint.

If Faint beat MM and Vel don't, Faint will make playoffs.

If Vel beat MM and Faint don't, Vel will make playoffs.

If both Faint and Vel beat MM it'll be a tie, and whoever has the most rounds won will make playoffs

If both Faint and Vel both loose to MM, then it'll be a 3 way tie with MM involved, and the team with the most rounds will make playoffs.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'm at the airport now and have binding of Isaac downloaded for the flight. If I need I can download more once I reach my hotel, but I think this'll be enough :)

I'll be in Nova Scotia and PEI but just drive your boat (you live in NL, I assume you own a boat) down from Newfoundland and come see me. It's like what, a 20 minute trip?

So I'm visiting The Maritimes for the next week and a half, and I'd like to pick up some games during the steam sale that don't require internet and also can run on a semi-decent laptop. I will mostly be playing in a car or on a plane, so preferably something that works well with a track pad.

Thanks in advance :)

Community or Archer if you want something funny.

Stranger Things if you want something serious.

Kinda sad if this results in the death of Hibbleton (looking like it will).

Still I suppose week 4 before the first team death isn't bad when compared to recent seasons.

Focus on the positives though, I'm sure Botmode will play well with Froyo :)

Some orgs come into the scene, sponsor a team and that's about it, but Faint have been really awesome being ingaged on Twitter and in twitch chat. Everyone I've talked to in their company seems really cool and friendly, and I'm very happy to see them sponsor a team like MP4 that have had a such a surprisingly good season so far.

Very disappointing.

I have an exam followed by an 8 hour family road trip.

Hope everyone else has fun though, have an extra one for me *

That's what they said last update, which turned out to be garbage, and we're all still here.

Randomly picked 3 to talk about because I do not have the energy to share thoughts on every weapon, even if I'd like to.

Panic Attack
Promising to see Valve has a good understanding of why this weapon is so garbage. I like the direction they're pushing it in, but it's hard to tell by the numbers just how good/bad this will actually be. The majority of the time when you're whipping out a shotgun, you're aiming to kill the other player in 1-2 shots, so that part seems like it won't matter a ton at high level play. Still though if the upside doesn't end up being too much, I could see this being around stock shotgun level in terms of how good it is. Even if it turns out to be a little better, I don't think the game suffers from seeing more shotgun pockets play. As long as it still leaves gunboats as an option for pocket players, more hit scan on the field to counter scouts is a win in my book.

Rescue Ranger
I don't think this will impact 6v6 at all really, this weapon still seems too strong to be unbanned. This weapon is too strong because the engineer can heal his gun forever while staying completely out of harms way. Maybe Valve was thinking a lack of metal would prevent an engineer for just healing it forever, but only loosing 15 metal per shot means the gun will die far before the engineer ever runs out of metal. I think Valve needs to take a step back from the healing aspect of this weapon all together. It's got such a cool mechanic in that it can teleport buildings, focus on that instead and make the healing take like, 75 or 100 metal. Even removing the healing factor all together wouldn't be a bad idea if it got some other buff.

Fists of Steel
I didn't even really hate this weapon before it got unbanned. To me it seemed like running out to soak up damage as a heavy with your melee weapon out was sort of a gimmick play that would be countered by ignoring you, but I see the problem if it's a last point or something and the heavy runs onto the point and you loose because you couldn't do enough damage to the last player left alive and respawns come in. Hopefully these changes are enough, I don't think it's really possible for Valve to strike a sweet spot where they don't have to be banned, but also aren't completely useless unless they get a complete rework, but this weapon is kinda boring, nobody's going to be upset if Valve uses it to mess around and try new stuff with.

The source of all my frustrations
