ScrambledThe year is 2016 and people still get baited by heavy mains.
pretty sure you're the only one getting baited and honestly probably the one who is most triggered in this thread lol
but i'll keep replying so i can see how many -frags one person can collectively get in a single thread.
popcorpcorsaIn terms of competitive support (money-wise), 6s players also want competitive to have more organizations support 6s competitively. They want Valve specifically to support 6s in this way, though. These tournaments are great and a lot of fun, but they simply won't help TF2; that's fine, and it's not a waste of time either because they're doing what they want to do with their money. It's just comments like these that are so meaningless.
I noticed that by looking at Razer cups, tf2 players complain about the lack of cups = razer comes and brings at least some amount of money for weekly cups = barely 8 teams register after 1st week of Razer hype and then it dies because people were SO ENTHUSIASTIC about playing those cups. Thing about TF2 cups and tourneys, they will always be dominated by top 3 EU and NA teams, so you'll never see a massive amount of people registering for them which will result in most cups/tourneys dying quite quickly, due to the pure fact that it is impossible to beat those top 3 na/eu teams as a High/IM team. And people can argue and say "Sign up, it's a free scrim for you", yes, it's soooo much fun to get rolled in 5 mins xd.
Organizations will not come, unless you yourselves show the support and doing what you guys did with Razer cups was not the best thing to do, I dunno much about what's going on on Faceit, but I expect it to die as well, unless it's already dead. And stop calling tf2 redditors, hl players and pubbers names, it sways them away from trying out/watching 6s just because they've never tried it or don't want to, and seeing how 6s elitist insult them makes them hate 6v6 and spread the news to their friends that people who play 6s are all jerks and that you should not be trying it out if you don't want to become one. It's the same as "Would you be a friend with someone who openly hates Gay people and you're Gay yourself?".

Interesting how you bold the sentence that is right before the clarifaction of what I was explaining--that Valve is 1) the only thing people care about in the long run 2) the only thing that ever and will ever matter. The orgs come later once it's obvious there is not only potential, but also sufficient support from the devs.
How delusional can you possibly be to think that the TF2 community itself, by itself, is at fault for the lackluster amount of support from 1) sponsors/orgs 2) valve? There have been hundreds of quality posts explaining why that notion is literally factually wrong (if you go read the valve mm threads, for instance).
I'm not sure why anyone would try to accuse me of being a 6s elitist when I have more hl seasons than probably anyone in this thread. It's just a fact that most hl players are delusional for thinking classes that slow the game down somehow provides an objectively better and more interesting gamemode, yet 20x more stalematey and harder to push off advantages when 6s is ALREADY extremely slow. It's one thing to like hl more because you enjoy specific things about it, such as liking to play spy; it's another to actually think it's a BETTER GAMEMODE for Valve to support.
