From a viewers pov it looked really good. It seems you guys did everything right you possibly could and it showed.

It's just a shame the venue and event sucks and I truly have no wish to go back to the NEC any time soon. I really dont feel like i've missed out the last 2 years I haven't attended. Sure the dates were worse this year, but the venue itself just seems grotty and like a tourist trap. Compared to most of the other clientel who attend, tf2 players seem like well functioning humans aswell.

Americans...

it's heavy but with a skateboard that has an aoe kickflip buff. blizzard listens more than valve and also adds to the ideas of tf2 pubbers.

Shut up

If you consider rayman revolutions (the ps2 one) the same game as great escape then it is probably the better version due to more content.

However, if you don't then the dreamcast version is easily better than pc and n64 versions of the same game. The nintendo DS version is the same as the pc one but without any problems and it actually plays pretty well too.

I would also feel weird not just hearing grunts and murmurs for voices but hearing actual voices too so along with nostalgia DC easily wins.

I got the ps2 rom for revolutions so can give it a go later.

If heavy gets wheels, spy gets the suicide bomb. Only fair

I'm not saying it was the overtime that made it bad, mostly would have been bo3 in groups. Groups of 4 would have 6 guaranteed to 9 potential maps as opposed to bo1 groups of 6 having 5 guaranteed maps.

My main point is moreso that noone accounted for logistical problems and told the organisers that timing was not budgeted properly AND it also didn't go that badly is incredible. There was reasonable potential for people to be playing from noon to midnight without more than a 10 minute break. The infinite overtime is definitely something that coulda caused it, but by no means the only (or even largest) factor.

There is no way you guys did infinite overtime ruleset for a whole lan with bo3's in GROUPS and didn't expect to run late at some points. If it only ran 2 hours over on one day then that's actually incredible.

Cool, thx, it is probably a pretty easy thing to do to give specs a wrist band too (after registering), since there would be so many more players than spectators (the 1/10 people being specs is honestly probably a pretty accurate number at least thinking about rcadia numbers). It would also put people at ease about theft since no stranger from the street could just walk in without registering first.

I have no plans of playing, but if I have the weekend free would love to come by as a spectator. Any ideas about spec tickets and what sort of access they would get? (would prefer to actually go into the zone with pcs to watch even if I had to buy a seat, but don't wanna take a seat from someone who actually will compete).

Had a look at the venue page, but it didn't say how it handles this sort of thing (or I couldn't find it which is more likely) so I figured I'd ask if there was a plan for the 1/10 people like me who just wanna watch.

Tell them to shower daily bro, maybe some people need it twice even.

I didn't go, but it seemed like it was really well ran this year with minimal problems from actual venue (very rare).

So yeah, shoutout to production and staff for organising it all, and players and spectators for showing up. A shame many people weren't there cus of the timing and also birmingham just being shit but the tf2 staff really did do the best they could with what they had and it showed.

Really nice video, I would add that communicating to your teammates efficiently in the buildup before a push, as well as what you are focusing during a push is key. It was implied, but not explicitly said that "these are calls that must be made and usually by this person."

I think sprinkling in a bit of "how to call" in these videos may be beneficial for lower level players who don't really understand comms properly. Maybe an idea for a future vid, idk. Things like, "the scout playing the point can call if they are doing it, or if they need more uber to run across to shoot the enemy team".

Also maybe (if it isn't too much work) using some clips from different games to emphasise every point more rather than just some. Like when saying that sniper can snipe people and you can drop players if you are greedy, try to find a clip from that happening. Or when you say that teams take too long to push and the enemy gets uber or kritz and punishes the push. Ofc a lot more work so don't feel forced because the ideas discussed in the video are actually really good, it would just push the video to being even better, even if the spoken content is the same.

Idk what you are on about, your post reads as though diamondback is really good but not the best unlock (which it would be if allowed and used properly), my post states it is the best unlock hands down when used properly. It opens up a style of gameplay where you don't need to stab the medic, and you still get the value as though you did. The only time I concede it isn't as good is when under time pressure, in which case l'etranger beats it as you can move faster.

Your post reads as though frontier justice isn't insanely overpowered because of situations you shouldn't be in as engy, mine states that you shouldn't be in those situations anyway (making your point completely irrelevant) and if you knew how to actually play the game and how it flowed, it is always the best currently unbanned weapon (rescue ranger still better) and is disgustingly strong, way stronger than diamondback too since it doesn't even open a new style of play it just kills the enemy faster than a shotgun.

If you think I'm agreeing with you, please learn to write first, as I do not see how your thoughts (explained above) are at all similar to mine (also explained above).
