it was cool to see a new map played at lan

Please no more badlands or gullywash or snakewater

Hi -

I know nothing about 1. Building computers 2. HTPCs. So hopefully that's clear from the start.

I'm looking to build a home threatre PC/server to manage my media and allow for playback. This build would:

- Play 1080p/surround sound media directly to my TV (TBD if I need an AppleTV or Roku or something)
- Stream media directly to my or my friends'/family's laptops or tablets (who may not be on my home network)
- Download/Upload/Manage torrents directly on this server
- Control my server with my Logitech Harmony One remote and no other peripherals (although I may get a keyboard and/or controller for other purposes, my hope is to use just the remote for playing videos, etc.)
- Keep noise and heat low; this server will sit in my living room right next to my TV
- Have a case that fits the following shelving dimensions: Width: 26.75", Depth: 16.25", Height: 13.5"
- If possible, have Netflix, Amazon Video, and HBO Go apps (either through AppleTV or Roku or something else)
- If possible, run emulators/roms onto my TV from this server
- If possible, connect a Blu Ray drive to this server somehow, again for TV/surround sound

I had someone on r/htpc help put the following together for me a few months back:

Thoughts? Anyone completed a similar build here?

Not for me.

Were there stats for the GF?

This. I think it was 4-0 Flow pushing LG's last and LG came back to win 5-4. Flow (the #1 seed) went on to finish 4th with LG winning.

Mid: Process/Snakewater
Seconds: Badlands
Last: Process/Granary

any chance this'll ever be a mac-friendly hud?

minutes*

is that kid wearing velcro shoes

what map are they playing?

just going to take this opportunity to again say last night's match was incredible

(too bad those teams play so often on gully)

you could argue that the change removed the two main abilities of a demo that highlighted skills (sticky sniping and being ubered/taking out heavies and sentries)

i mean god damn airbursting actually requires skill

i think seagull's idea of unlocking everything (even class limits) makes sense with this change.

that doesn't seem ban worthy but yolo
