It's almost like every report from a community member was just bragging or self-promotion.... WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT!?!?!

You're still better off using basically any other class to do more damage quicker.

Valve still has no idea what to do with pyro. Tough Break and now this have literally just been minor buffs to running at people with your flamethrower.

His dad as the Flash from the 90s series will be the man in the mask. He was seen when they traveled between worlds and I think everything else in that montage has come to pass. Plus didn't he make an offhand comment about being related to a Garrick recently?

Longshot but it'd be cool af.

Buncha willfully ignorant people posting, go figure.

It's a plan to strengthen the league because the top has been dying out for the last 7 seasons and nobody in gold ever moves up because they're afraid of the few actual good teams on plat.

The thought being that forcing a larger division and Swiss scheduling will mean you'll still play mostly teams at your own level while getting a taste of those much better. Therefore you get decent competition and hopefully learn faster by playing those better teams.

What also might happen is, after a season, some lower level teams will fold but consolidate into better teams, keeping the best players. This is what happened last time the league was in this format.

The only downsides are that you don't get a meaningless gold medal, and plat loses it's round robin format, which was utterly pointless anyway because we played 4 different game-modes (payload, a/d, koth, 5cp) per season so scheduling wasn't ever fair.

Logically the decision makes perfect sense. Realistically though it's not going to help because the only reason the top is dying is because fewer high level 6s players care anymore. If about 20-30 IM+ level players decided to play it'd be the golden age of Highlander. 6s is better though so this is their only move.

When's the last time competition in AU was this good? I know iM used to win everything, and lately Jasmine, but I don't know how closely contested either team ever was in previous seasons. Either way it's been a lot of fun to watch ozfortress streams lately. Really hope y'all can manage to find a way to i58!

Really great game! One of the best TF2 matches I've seen in recent history. Congrats to winners!

I did have gauze, but with all 4 holes bleeding my mouth just completely filled with blood and I couldn't feel it at all. Opened mouth>>blood all over shirt.

When I had mine taken out they didn't put me under, just gave me shots in my gums. I was completely awake and could feel everything... but it didn't hurt at all. It was amusing to watch the dentist basically just grab a pair of pliers and pull my teeth as hard as he could (so hard his arms were actually shaking from the strain) until they separated from my gums. Did all of them at once. Accidentally dribbled blood on my shirt on the way home because I literally couldn't feel that I had a mouthful of blood rofl.

BOOMER!

A house centipede.

*edit* Hooli with the 14 second faster bug identification.

Pretty sure Mcdonalds over sweetens/sugars everything, which is probably why their Cokes taste so fucking amazing.

Sitting cloaked on dispensers on 2Fort and spamming voice commands at the engineers.

Just watching pub engineers in general going about their little lives is fascinating.

Awesome writeup! I can't help but wish ESEA playoffs were at least still all in one weekend. Always loved the big tourneys with TF2 all day =\
