In b4nny's defence, I would probably declare Rewind the superior LAN too if it was only an hour drive from my home...

Looking for a PC that runs TF2 for me and my friend for a small fee and many hugs :3

maybe cu@?

Shoutout to Esport United. For the "average" streamviewer and LAN attendee it may seem like Kritzkast and Essentials carried the workload, but without them this LAN would have been nothing!

Shoutout to the TF2 staff. Crazy how much work was being done with this little sleep.

Shoutout to the caster setup that decided to not work anymore as soon as I sat down at the desk.

Shoutout to shoutouts.

- Updated tournament info
—> final mappool
—> formats for groupstage and knockouts ( 6v6 and Highlander)
- slightly changed the schedule (moved a HL round on Thursday to a later spot, thus 6v6 will start off the LAN with round 1 of groups)
- added tournament rules. We highly recommend every player - at least every team leader - to read through them!

See: https://lan.teamfortress2.com/event-info.php

Good evening!

We will not ban the aforementioned player right away. We will apply the rules and policies on this case like we have done in the past and thus act consistent in our ruling. Our last banpost was published on 9th march, which is fairly recent. We will ban the player for almost the entirety of season 30.
Please note that this is no "special treatment" of anyone. On the contrary: If we were to ban him right now, that would be a special treatment.

The player in question cannot simply blatantly cheat in his remaining playoff games. There are other ways to prove someone is cheating than watching a POV, it just makes things much easier. Furthermore, if he fails to upload again (and lets be honest, there will be demorequests in playoffs) then we will ban him for a whole year.

Is our policy perfect? No, but it is what has been applied for years and we are not going to change the rules right now. You never change a rule in order to apply it immediately. That is arbitrary and absolutely leads to total chaos and individual targetting. That being said, interesting points have been raised during this discussion. We are already and will be discussing ways to handle this differently - better - in future seasons and competitions. So thank you! (:

Cu@, Stinson_Out

Link me cheap hotel pls

Awesome work! 6000 €! Cu @

I think you misunderstood. I was talking about the logistics of getting myself to LAN, not an entire Highlander team.

Tbf, I never said there wasn't gonna be a 6s LAN before summer insomnia and someone else posted my tweet into this (apparently essentials.tf related) thread about a LAN in Denmark...

Am I the only one who is happy about the fact that there is yet another TF2 event? As Toast said, people who preferingly play Highlander come to 6v6 LANs regardless because they want to hang out with their friends that they play with online week in and week out. Why cant it be the other way round?

I have honestly never wondered what gamemode is being played at a LAN when considering to attend. Logistics, accommodation, and in the end budget was always a far more important concern. I love TF2 and I couldnt care less if I am playing 9v9 or 6v6., LANs are awesome! Cu@!

My body is ready for the shit and the downfrags I am about to get for this.

shhh... Season 30 is coming up after this one. You may wanna hold on to your €€€ until then... shhhh

The pyro can be killed by projectiles if you shoot him from behind or the side when he is not actively staring you down. Hitscan "counters" airblast as well. Be smart, then a pyro won't have much of an impact imo. Most classes in TF2 are easiert to kill if they don't see you coming.

That being said, although I have not played pugchamp, in a setting like this you should generally not be too much of an arse and annoy the crap out of everyone by saying "IDC IF ITS AIDS I WANNA WIN". Yes, people are oversensitive when it comes to "offclassing". But if we ever shift towards a offclass-friendlier or even perma-offclass meta then it will take time. Running perma-pyro after an update and proclaiming the Pyro overlord was born will not make anyone acknowledge the mindset of trying different angles.

Banning Olgha was unfortunate nonetheless from what I gather (and I have read all replies to both threads about this) and I am glad he got unbanned.

Olgha, I am very much looking forward to what you can accomplish in our upcoming ETF2L seasons. I legit hope you will be able to find teams to scrim against you and won't face boycott and taunt.

Hope you are all well! Peace and happiness for everyone! (:

Exactly what Vouri said. No offense, but you shouldn't get a community weapon only because you shouted over 12 people playing videogames at a LAN once. The bar tsc laid out is hilariously low. You would have to give hundreds of people community weapons.

Also, Miggy deserves to be in this particular list.

"What is your opinion about this list?"

- "It is incredibly flawed."

"Shut up, of course it is flawed, it is just one guy's opinion!" :thinking:
