You're too late. The initiative is long gone and RGL has run away with it. At this point your only contribution will be a negative one which will hurt the integrity of the scene. Call this off. If RGL tanks hard and everyone's pissed then you will have an opportunity to step in and offer your (almost same) alternative next season.

Good updates but please ffs no sniper servers. I already made my case on the other page but nobody needs them and all they do is sabotage the use of the good, "normal" servers.

I don't think that the dm maps need to line up with what is currently being played in league season. It's just good to have a variety of places to shoot at each other. I miss fighting on gravelpit B and even turbine (that one's a bit cramped though). The fact is that pretty much all of the maps are awful for various reasons save for process, viaduct, and maybe snakewater or metalworks. If you can accept that then -the more the merrier-.

Chicago 1 and 2 are the most used and most important servers. Dallas 1 and 2 are OK as well (but I'm biased towards Chicago).

The two #3 servers are hot garbage that allow dumb weapons and sniper. I promise that the only reason those are sometimes used is not because people want to practice that trash. It's because people just want to dm and they join whatever server has people in it. Either the initial 1-2 people in there are the jokers that really feel like they need to practice sniper/dumb weapons in dm or people literally accidentally happened to click on those servers when all six were empty and then people are going to continue to join what's populated until prime time dies out.

The maximum number of servers needed to be up is 3 (4 if you really want) and a safe minimum is 2. It is super rare to see 3 servers filled up.

Ok well it's possible to come up with other ways to (more)slightly disadvantage the team that had mid and decided to waste time if you think that one is too harsh. In any case I think a positional advantage swap is fair here. If the team that had mid would sooner try more bold actions, since they are likely to fail, that would just mean more of the disadvantaged team retaking ground and changing up the situation.

Would you mind explaining exactly what is bad about the idea? Let me spell it out just in case. The team that had the initiative would have a disadvantage in the in the next midfight if they chose to not take any risks. It doesn't have to be 2 seconds that was just some random shit I made up on the spot. But basically they would likely swap positions and give the other team the initiative. Does that not make sense?

I feel like this is all somewhat off topic but I will say this: If it were possible to try a shortened round timer it would also be good to punish the team that had the initiative advantage for playing safe and stalling out the round. So, for instance, if the round got reset and a new midfight was about to happen then the team that held more control points before the time-out can't move in spawn for an additional, say, 2 seconds upon round reset.

ESL took themselves out of the running a good while ago.

Actually multiple may "survive" and run sad crappy seasons while pulling apart the player base and ultimately hurting the health of the scene.

You should really partner up with the TF.TV production people for the casting side of things. If you want the finals casted on the RGL channel (or whenever it is that you need to get the biggest view volume, you said) I'm sure they can do that for you as well. It's just a shame and a waste to not utilize the experienced, awesome people that our scene produced over the years.

Screwb can be a rough teammate sometimes but he's actually a nice and reasonable person. I mean that sincerely. I've met the guy personally <3

Eat the ass. Invitation extended to the entire degen peanut gallery.

A) Slice had real adult work to prioritize, B) Zam keeps the game open almost 24 hours, C) I benched myself from the same team (you'll get to the whole being an adult thing eventually... maybe) and, D) Eat my ass

You're basically a girl now. Accept your fate.

Never get frustrated and start pushing air harder. That will just make you light-headed and mad. It's not about how hard you blow (or suck), though this advice may not apply to the fingers-in-mouth methods. Just gotta keep messing around with tongue position and lip/cheek positions and shapes. Do it slowly and quietly until you feel like you're maybe close to something and just keep messing around. You need to be patient and expect it will take a long time. This is something most people learn as kids by having a lot of time. Also try breathing inwards instead of blowing out. It feels quite different and could help you make a breakthrough. I first learned as a kid to whistle on the inhale. If you aren't getting it that just means you're not being patient or thorough or creative enough. Good luck!
