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:

Anyone got a spare bed for Raptor?
Trying to get rid of him ;-)

Can anyone lift me some booze? Beer there is disgusting (at least for my German taste) and expensive...

edit: sorted

Got a monitor, still looking for a PC.

I remember I saw one of those somewhere last year.
Post in here if you are looking to borrow or lend any kind of equipment from/ to people.
Not sure what the word is on PC rentals for this year. Haven't heard anything about it, but the PCs are usually quite expensive for the whole weekend.

Personally I am looking for a PC and monitor or a decent enough laptop to run TF2 smoothly.
Willing to pay a reasonable fee of course (:

Amongst other, smaller, but for me personally equally annoying behavior, that is the main reason why the landlords won't have us back, yes. There is no chance of DeutschLAN happening again.

Also heard rumours about a HL LAN in Poland btw.
Soon nobody will even remember this shittyass tournament called DeutschLAN

I have had this nickname on steam for over 4 years... ;-)

Hello dear TF2 community,

for those who do not know me, I am one of the two people (the other one being Aoshi) who recently took over Head Adminship of the ETF2L.
Every season we spend an enormous amount of time deciding who gets to play in prem next season and who needs to qualify and how. I assure you we are aware of the difficulties that the process of this decision brings. In the end there will be a decision made and not everyone will be happy with it- that's how life works.
It surprises me to see this thread exploding the way it did over something that may or may not have happened over 2 years ago. Looks like a chain-reaction to me, where several people got baited into discussing a matter in public that should have stayed privately.
Be it as it may, I wanted to clearify a couple of things:
I was already an admin when Hildreth left the staff 2 years ago. In fact, I had a very heated discussion with him about it the very night the decision was made that he'd leave the staff and not every word in there was nice. I am fully aware of what happened and witnessed it first hand.
However, Hildreth expressed his desire to rejoin the adminteam by formally applying last october. After SonnyBlack stepped down, we were looking for refreshments for the adminstaff in order to fill the gap that Aoshi and I left behind when we got promoted to Heads. Hildreth again expressed his interest and we decided to give him another shot.
We decided to shake off some rust that had settled step by step over the last few years without anyone really noticing (for instance reaching out to our supposed competitor UGCLeague) and that this new and hopefully successful era after the retirement of the last "old school" veteran SonnyBlack should mark a fresh start. Our staff has been incredibly busy and productive this year so far, firing out competitions and initiatives, catching up on the medaldistribution etc... And Hildreth has had his share of input.
We did not forget what happened (BTW, the fact that he is a trial admin shows that), but we also shouldn't hold grudges for too long. Usually former staff members do not undergo the trial process again...We are fully aware of Hildreth's strengths and weaknesses.
That being said, It has always been my sincerest belief that we, as a TF2 - or in this case ETF2L - community cannot afford the luxury of being divided. We are small enough as it is and we should work together hand in hand for the game that we love so much, whether you like 9v9 or 6v6, whether you are an active admin or a retired one etc... Especially when the topic in question is completely irrelevant to any current events. So everyone should calm down, go outside and enjoy some sunlight. (:
It saddens me that (former) staffmembers felt the need to get involved in this kind of public drama. As for current staffmembers, there will be no further statements in this thread from this point on.
If you have any more input on relevant topics, feel free to contact an admin through IRC or message me on discord.

Thank you for your attention!

Much love, Stinson_Out | ETF2L.org
