UGC is aware of the reasoning behind the ban.

I am not defending alfa, I am merely pointing out that the public does not know why he is banned.

UGC will be mirroring this ban. However, it must be said that endless speculating about the reasons for a ban can oftentimes create more harm than benefit. Only the people involved and the RGL report committee can offer any insight into the ban, and if they choose not to it is their prerogative. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and if there is no substantiated evidence, it is deleterious to call people transphobic, or worse, pedophilic. Please exercise due caution when assigning guilt without due process.

I look forward to this map getting polished up and finalized. Seems like a really promising addition to the Ultiduo mappool.

https://forums.rgl.gg/topic/2150/dr-spy-medigun-pickup - Here is the HL version of this thread from the RGL forums. RGL did permit it to be used this season but said they would reevaluate it after the season ends. It's pretty clear that this has no place in competitive TF2, and although it probably won't be used every single match and it probably won't result in any major meta-shifts, the simple fact of the matter is, once the visual indicator of an Uber has been recognized, historically, there was no way to end that uber and retain any large amount of the charge. This isn't like a medic faking Uber by using voice commands, this is an actual glowing player, which has always meant that the other team has used. It's also pretty clear Valve did not intentionally add this mechanic to the game, and that this is just the unintended consequence of how the Source engine deals with dropped weapons + Uber.

Y'all are acting as if you've never done anything stupid in your life ever. Admins are people too - people who do some stupid things sometimes. Is it immature? Yes. Is it the proper way to engage with people? No. But people sometimes do stupid shit, we all do.

On paper, this doesn't seem like that bad of an idea, but I feel like this will walk a very tight line between success and failure. Good luck nonetheless

When I was doing my MD/MPH I wasn't playing TF2 at the time, but I was still a pretty active gamer. I was spending a few hours each day playing halo and black ops 1 prior to starting my degree, but once I started I noticed I started playing less each day. BOPs 2 came out a few months after my first semester so I remember wanting to spend more time playing it but I struggled to manage the workload while also playing games for several hours each day. However, by the end of my 2nd year, I noticed I was able to manage the workload and play games much more effectively, I grinded to platinum in league play by playing a few hours each day. So it certainly is possible to commit to 6s every night while also balancing school but it really is on a person-to-person basis. Someone who isn't a morning person or who likes to do labs or work in the evenings might struggle to balance the workload with games, but it can be done.

the java flavor line is heavily slept on, got me through many graveyard shifts

I am not defending much of what I see here, cause all this shit looks sketchy af, but posting clips of blind dets seems like data dredging (or p-hacking) to me. If sin streams most of his games/scrims/pugs and most of the players he plays against also stream, the ability to select clips of him blind detting automatically increases far beyond that of other demos who don't stream. I could easily be wrong (since I do not play with him or against him) and he is known across the board for these blind dets constantly. There being a handful of clips of him blind detting doesn't seem that sketchy, as people are only showing the clips of him doing anything successful with his blind dets, and ignoring all the other blind dets that get nothing.

tl:dr he probably is cheating, but cherrypicking clips of him blind detting isn't really indicative of anything on its own. I am sure you could go through streams of other demos and find them getting lucky dets too. Is he cheating? Looks like it from the offset, but the cherrypicked blind det clips seem irrelevant and only creates more of a witch-hunty environment in my opionion. Interested to see how RGL addresses this.

nice

What a fucking character arc
