Prize pool is somewhat disappointing but honestly I think the 4 teams that we have going will have some really great games. Let's hope there is a valve notification for the finals.

What's wrong with golden cap is that it seems like incredibly inefficient way to determine the winner, since for half an hour no team has gotten more rounds than the other, so to me just having one round to sum up upto 8 rounds in normal time seems a bit flimsy and decisive as it should be

Rounds

Just thinking of some ideas that could possibly work better than the GC system we have now, I think the only thing that golden caps have going for them is the hype factor for spectators, as well as I suppose the easy point dispersal for officials.

Could something like a silver cap work? Or perhaps added time (10/12/15? mins) to see who can get the most points during that time. Just seems like one round is not very fitting for deciding the victor, especially if you get wiped on midfights. I understand that top teams should not be wiping at mid, and that keeping your cool under pressure is part of the skill of the game, but even just a bo3 rounds with a time limit on each round? This is just a brainstorm but perhaps some leniency is needed to allow fair results, especially in the lower divs.

Sweden imports $693.3 million worth of vegetables each year, the potato should have no worries getting across the border.

Right, a very expected response.

It's probably unlikely that the finals will be on the monday though surely?

Still early days for now but is there any idea when things will be happening? for instance when the groups start and more importantly when the finals are.

b4nny said that he likes having the control of pushes on the pocket role

was a simple example, and that doesn't mean it's a lost cause for the future, I'm just saying that it's valve's cue, we're very lucky to have what we have from insomnia but the buzz for comp tf2 will only last so long so the least we could have is a large tournament without having to be almost entirely community supported

5k :/ I’m sure that’s likely to increase but isn’t this literally valve’s cue? and surely it’s time to revisit something like esl again, try and get some larger lan events sorted.

You got any plans for casting?

no
