Cyzer had the biggest scout game today I felt like followed by Shrugger/Moose after he woke up in last matches. I don't think clockwork racked up that many plays on scout.

Although scouts overall didn't go as big this LAN as they have in the past. Was more of a medic and demoman battle.

Fixed, says fragging now. Thanks Shade. Although maybe AG would not agree with that correction.

ESEA Recaps

Hey everyone, hope you are enjoying the LAN action so far!

In addition to the fantastic coverage from the live casts, ESEA is posting results and detailed recaps of every match at LAN. So if you missed one of the rounds and want to hear what happened go take a read.

Fog may join me to help out in the later rounds this afternoon. We will post all of the recaps in my "LAN S14 TF2 Melee" found here

Check the "LAN Content" section to find links to each match recap article.
The Melee page will also be a useful hub for finding the broadcast guide, tournament bracket, and schedule.

I am still dumbfounded on how you guys made playoffs. I'm guessing you were even more shocked.

Didn't you also include some tips a while back on how to improve teamwork and player relations?

I remember someone did that and recommended that TF2 teams try playing other games together. Really a great suggestion. Would imagine that Mario Kart over emulator would be boss for that.

Ketamine is a dissociative along with dxm and methoxetamine but it falls under the tranquilizer umbrella as well.

And yeah, k-holing during a match won't get you very far.

As far as gaming goes the big one I see as an enhancement is any type of amphetamine. Playing a twitch shooter on an amphetamine isn't a guaranteed improvement but most people people would find it beneficial to some extent for comms, focus, reaction time, and aim. I think other drugs would be more subjective or a straight up hindrance.

Use your ESEA points to gain the competitive edge! (as soon as they restock)
Screw victory blunts, real winners huff air duster.

I regret not making an effort to talk to strangers and leave the house more often to help my social anxiety.

I told myself things would get better in high school and that I'd stop playing vidya and make more friends. It didn't happen. So then I told myself things would get better in college and that I'd make friends there and try to go to events and clubs. Didn't happen there either. And I'm sitting here foreseeing the same shit happen for the next eight years until I'm a wizardly 30 and so shut-in that I can't even make a trip to the grocery store without having an anxiety attack over having to talk to someone in person. So having to go through interviews for a job let alone even going to a job is catastrophically difficult in comparison. I already avoid most interaction by taking most of my classes online.

I'm going to be so screwed when I can't change my ways, and I'm only making things worse with my escapism through video games.

The feels, they hurt. Also enjoy OC feel heavy.

The worst is when two players will swap aliases for a match.

I really never understood why this is so exciting for players to do other than that they are trying to get a laugh out of, "oh I bet they will call me the wrong name, won't that be hilarious?". No. I'm fine with name changes, or having similar names like in the legendary craig-smith lineup, but swapping names with another player is just annoying and problematic.

You should definitely consider getting some type of donation page or chip-in fund going.

I think people here would be more likely to donate going through that because of the ease and ability to track current funds/progress to goal amount.

Also, which of players you listed are the kiwis? They need separate suits.

This is going to sound cheesy, but consider going through some "pre-game rituals". It can be listening to a certain song, getting a drink, cracking your knuckles, playing a round of MGE, or putting on a lucky hat (in game or real life even). Any combination of things that you think you can start getting yourself in the habit of doing pre-match.

It should calm you down and help put you into game-mode if you keep doing it so your brain will associate it with "time to play a serious match". I know athletes do these kinds of thing all the time, so why not e-sports. Good luck!

Supposed to be tomorrow night, but it might be a day or two late

W-well you have fun...writing for your less popular division. Invite and Open is where all the gossip is at this season!
