Whilst I do appreciate what etf2l admins and tftv streaming staff do for the EU scene and I also call out people who immaturely bad mouth some of the hard workers, noone who takes on these positions should ever feel forced to. Any admin or caster or streamer or anything is a volunteer and if you aren't enjoying it, don't do it. Get a hobby you enjoy. Someone who wants to take over should, not someone who feels forced to.

I get the feeling from quite a few people that they don't enjoy being in the public eye from most of the immature people who play the game, but i still don't know why they do it.

This is also fixed by people not being stupid cunts, but that is more of an entire humanity thing rather than just this community.

torrit please im in serious trouble now

e-girl names. Go,

Mak Incel is a premiership demoman for the team Faint Gaming in Team Fortress 2. He is currently wanted in 78 provinces of Turkey for defiling the toilets of local mosques. Currently believed to be in hiding in the United Kingdom, local Islamic communities have been recommended to not allow any new individuals into their religious circles. Anyone with information about this individual should inform the proper authorities immediately.

"Pig-Less" is a muslim Team Fortress 2 professional player known for playing medic in the Premiership division of European Team Fortress 2 League (ETF2L). He refuses to eat pork for religious beliefs, but also for dietary requirements in order to assist in losing 55kg for gastric band surgery. Last spotted outside a Greggs eating a sausage roll, he immediately stuffed it all in his mouth and ran off down the street, leaving a trail of pastry crumbs. When asked about this, he replied "no comment".

Just get rid of golden caps in the main season. No reason, during a round robin/swiss format to have them. Just have draws, each team gets 1 point.

I see 2 arguments against this "each match should have a winner" ok, well why is 3-3 possible then? drawing maps is but drawing ON a map isn't? Or "then some teams won't have as many points as others available!". Using this logic teams that lose don't have as many points available as others too since they don't get any points from a loss.

Also noone really cares about x/y axis (left/right or up/down) of iron bomber size, most people I know care about the z axis (the forwards and backwards) since it results in the pipe hitting you clearly before the model does, which is just frustrating. It is also VERY noticeable, why I used to think it was just a smaller model than hitbox (partly true, but I didn't think hitbox was so much larger).

Kinda why I stopped playing. Wasn't fun for me or them and I was willing to stop playing whilst others weren't.

I don't know why you still play if all you do is get belittled by other community members and cry about it.

Drop the names. Community is small enough that you have to, since you will have to interact with them at some point and they will just keep being the same person. Noone thinks it's them that is the problem but as soon as you actually confront someone and tell them they are a problem change can actually occur.

Which is how pugchamp should be ran. The rules should be done on a case by case basis, game by game. People should be mostly considerate with offclassing and shittalk. If someone isn't happy with how the game is going, or they are getting annoyed at people constantly killing drafts, they should tell the person doing it first, and when the person continues, then complain to an admin, and the admin should verify the behavior then punish the individual griefing the website. Whether it's by permanent captain ban, permanent class restrictions or other ways.

Pugs aren't really a high level of play when most people always have to be doing something and can't stalemate for more than 30 seconds without resorting to random uber trade or sniping or 6 man sacs. Sometimes you have to be the guy to sit and stare at a doorway for 3 minutes whilst your team does something else.

Seems insane to me that people don't want to do what it takes to win but cry so hard when they lose.

Probably the biggest difference between top prem and low prem players too tbh.

A lot of people look for mentoring in hope that the mentor will look at their play and say "yeah, nothing you coulda done, way better than your div". In reality most advice high level players give (and rightfully slow) is:

-Remember the basics, that position on that midfight where you held on low ground instead of contest high ground wasn't good, try to maintain a good pos, and keep in mind where your team is.

-Work on mechanics, mge/jump maps are nice and dm servers too. Don't forget to play pugs/lobbies/mixes, best way to improve is to play the game. Try to fit extra 6s into non-scrim times.

-Pick one thing in a scrim and hyper focus on it constantly until it becomes a habit. Once it's a habit, work on the next thing, then the next.

-Put in the effort and you will be rewarded.

Then you review them 4 weeks later, having had 20 hours of good practice time and another 20 of moderate practice (at least) and there is no difference in play. Usually at this point, I tell people to not come back to me until they can demonstrate improvement in their gameplay by reviewing their own demo in front of me, since they don't need my help anymore, told them all I can.

There are also a few people who still do demo review and give solid advice. Seeds gives possibly the best medic advice for mid level players on how to play the class and he is happy to go through any demo pretty much. Not many people go on peoples streams and ask them stuff, most players are happy to answer. Counou streams a ton, dmoule is in every twitch chat ever, b4nny and habib and sandblast stream a ton too. High level players lurk in every chat ever and are usually happy to chime in.

tl:dr only actual time you should be mentored is if you really do not know what to do better. If you play bad but know why, should just work on your own play first.

toxic 6s mains

this is such a dumb conversation, anyone can see deca deserves chatban (he frequently calls poeple slurs) and nasboii abused admin cus he gets too angry, so he should get admin removed.

Admins generally do act in favour of their circlejerks. Which makes sense, since their circlejerks will be the ones complaining about someone breaking rules against them, but not them breaking the rules themselves.

Tf2 is so small that only 1200 people played any games on eu pugchamp in the past 2 years. Everyone knows everyone, even if they don't like each other. It isn't a place where you can't talk to someone and get a problem resolved. Most people are mature enough, even if they are cunts.

People need to grow up, stop using admin powers excessively against people you don't like, and stop complaining about punishments you deserve. Have some self awareness and stop being manchildren. Just be a bit nicer to each other. You don't have to like each other, but if you want to play the game outside of scrim time, you will have to play with people you don't like. There is just too few players to dodge them.

The solutions are to either not play pugs, or work with those you don't like.
