You know who to contact if you get sued.

Looking to play S20 and RGL Lan 2026, preferably invite soldier.

I agree and this issue goes beyond b03 and is still prevalent in b05 grand finals as well where a team starts up 1 map and can win grands in 2 maps. I've tried to think of a good solution to this problem based on how other esports handle it and for tf2, the best solution is something in the realm of pick/ban advantage. In double elimination brackets, sometimes the upper bracket team/player is given a chance to lose grand finals and is granted a 2nd b03/b05 through a "grand finals reset." This is most common in fighting games where the individual matches only take up to 10 minutes at a time and is not practical or realistic for tf2 where a single map alone can run over an hour (ask people who were part of HL grand finals that were reset and went to 4am).

I think besides providing the upper bracket team with a map advantage, the only other possible advantage is to allow the winning team some type of map pick advantage where in a b03 they get to pick 2/3 or even 3/3 of the maps and in a b05 they can pick 3/5 or 4/5 of the maps and/or be provided some sort of advantage in map bans (i.e. the upper bracket team gets to pick 3/5 of the maps and do all the map bans). While some may argue this advantage is too large, is it really greater than starting up an entire map when the alternative is you get to pick more of the maps but still have to win the maps you picked?

I'm not a fan of the argument that the upper bracket team never had to feel the pressure of playing in lowers so they don't deserve some type of advantage. If you can consistently win and finish out playoffs in upper bracket, you should receive some type of advantage in the finals. This argument is more commonly seen during lans where the upper bracket team gets to chill the last day while the team coming from lower bracket potentially played 1 or 2 b03s that same day before grands.

I definitely think the b03/b05 grand finals advantage for the winning team should be reworked for future seasons and I think this is something in particular RGL should consider when consulting with Invite/Advanced teams before a season starts.

To a guy like me, this is just a Hub.

Nobody that plays tf2 competitively has a job or internship. Don't get it twisted.

Sounds like a resolution issue that's pushing everything to the second monitor.

I use this program to lock my mouse to my first monitor when tabbed in. I had issues where when the game stuttered and I was flicking my mouse would go to my second monitor and tab me out. You can set up this program to attach to the tf2 exe so every time you launch it locks the cursor.

Don't listen to this guy I watched him same day expensive noise cancelling headphones that connected via usb-c last LAN because he 'forgot' to bring one

+rep he has no job so he can dedicate his existence to improvement

Made one up real quick. If you have a team or are LFT please dm me and I will update.

Bump RGL Lan and RGB

Can the pick ban system be modified? If you're the team that's picking the map and forfeit your bans by not selecting them in time, then let the other team do their bans, you get to pick from the rest of the maps that are available. What should happen is if you forfeit your bans the other team should get to ban maps in place of the number of forfeits. Under the current system, if you're the picking team there's no incentive to ban any maps because you're forfeits mean nothing and you get more maps to pick from in the end.

Also having the 2nd banning team have to wait for the first team to ban their maps before banning is also not enough notice. Teams can wait until the night before when everyone is scrimming to do their bans and then it only gives the other team 30 minutes of notice to do their bans when they are likely scrimming. I don't really have a solution to this other than making the first banning team have to ban their maps at at least 2 days before the scheduled match date.

This is libelous. You WILL be hearing from my lawyer.

CU@ + LFT + dj set?

Bump all the above ^. Would prefer soldier. Looking to go to RGL lan and RGB when that gets announced
