Hello, I'm still looking for a defunct but not totally dead roster which is registered in S28 Open for my newbie mix team. Those guys on the Bag Boys team are complete idiot trolls who have no intention of playing but also won't give me the roster because they're assholes (they did try to SELL me it for a price though).

This looks like it could be a good lead. I have tried for 2 days to add akemi. If anyone has him on friends please pass along that I'm trying to add him about this. Time is of the essence as these flatlining rosters keep picking up forfeit wins and edging closer to full-on death. #DoItForTheKids

Thank you

Yeah I'm actually a little worried about why it has my name on top. I have nothing to do with this.

Keep refusing offers every day until it forces the default time when there's <24 Hrs left until said time, or however close it is before it locks. The default time should be something like Tue and Thu 1030 est. Unless you can't play that day and time yourselves you hold the trump card against unreasonable teams like this.

I get terrible routing and ping to the Chicago servers.

Backstory: TF2PL comes out and it's all Dallas servers. I get atrocious 100~ ping to them (should be more like 45-50) so I commit to just playing scout in Beginner div. It's fun and as I climb out to Amateur div Chicago servers become a thing and I then have good, normal Chicago ping! (I'm in Toledo, OH). Now as of a week or two ago Chicago servers give me over 80 ping for no good reason and basically I can't pug on demo which is all I want. (I don't wanna hear how West coasters always have that ping. If I lived in 80 ping land I'd never have played projectiles in the first place).

Above is a screenshot of me doing a traceroute to one of the Chicago servers. I'm not an iT guy but at least anecdotally I can take note of some things here. Firstly 20 hops is way too many. To get to my own scrim server it takes 11. Secondly it looks like the signal goes from me to Chicago, then to Denver, more Denver, snju01-ca (N San Juan California??), the H81 address wherever that is, then Dallas, more Dallas, then 5 hops to and around Chicago. That is some seriously messed up routing.

I have come to learn that cin (the heroic player formally known as unskilled) has this same problem as well which makes sense since he lives in the same city. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, would you please post and let us know what city you're living in? It would also be great if you could perform a traceroute and post a screenshot like I did.

I'm sad that for the time being pugs are basically not an option for me and I wish something could change.

I'm the worst mentor ever because I only realized an hour ago that my newbie mix team made their ESEA roster but did not sign it up for S28 Open. I'm asking anybody who learns of an abandoned roster from a team that quit to please message me so that I can hopefully start moving my players over to it. It's important that I do this ASAP so as to minimize the amount of forfeit losses that new roster incurs and because it takes over a week to move 6 people over. In the meantime my guys will keep scrimming in a normal manner.

I'm a little late updating this but they got a roster. Hurray! Thanks to everyone who spotted the defunct roster and to akemi for giving it to them.

The OP is in fact intoxicated.

I know it's a totally different system in EU so it's hard to compare but it's much better how their week of matches consists of pairs of maps. 2 at a time. So far from reading this, to me, it seems like the cons greatly outweigh the pros. Idc if a lot of people don't like viaduct or granary... they are 'different' maps with unique approaches and I would hate to never play them again.

Exactly what Rhombus said. These people are quality gamers and super nice too. I miss Snooder already. I mentored these guys as they were one of the Newbie Mix drive teams and it was a pleasure. Watch out for those scouts... they're lethal. Get them some quality pocket tryouts!

haha that's a good one

League experience is limited but he's smart and his dm is waaay better than mid open. He pounds on every class. If he's able to play then he is not one to pass up.

I recommend giving a shit about any and all of your tattoos and not just the first one... or consider not getting them. I personally don't understand purely aesthetic tattoos. It's good if it looks nice but if there's no meaning behind it, even if only a bit, it seems wrong to me. My artist customized the sticky bomb and added a bit of space between the fine parts to avoid the bleedthrough/running together. It's still a very tiny amount of space and could become less clear over time but it's really not an issue. If need be it can always be touched up later and they can add white ink into the gaps to clear them up. When the artist first applied the 'temporary tattoo stain guide stencil thing' it was in outline form and I considered keeping it like that. It would have looked good but I decided to go ahead and fill it in anyway. I'm literally never going to regret my tattoo(s) unless it becomes the new symbol for neo Nazis or something crazy like that.

Went to Chicago and hung out with Hedge. We saw a concert and it was awesome!
