Individual skill can only get a person so far.

Work on building chemistry with others.

Ah, I was assuming that the Ivy-E would be the last we'd see of the E-series being the 6 cores. Thought Haswell would come with 6 cores standard and then the E-series would be 8 cores. I haven't been following technology lately, been le lazy.

Guess Intel doesn't want to stray from 4 core standard, but they like to perfect the art of their cores before just adding on a billion lesser cores *cough AMD* :3

Ah, I haven't really read up on the Haswell's. Thought they were going to be the newer Ivy's.

If you'd be OK with a High Open medic, feel free to add meh.

And now I feel I must upgrade from my 3930k when Haswell comes out :|

I've only been around Peppercocks for 3 weeks of scrims/matches =O May be close to a month now I think. Still only my 3rd month of TF2 competitive play.

And nice write-up/transfer from PDF to the website ^^

But if we invest in getting TF2 into Dreamhack, then we'd still have to raise the money to send an American team there (since it's in Sweden I believe.)

Edit: I mean, do we believe that we can raise ~$35,000 as a community to not only fund TF2 in Dreamhack (~$25,000), but also fly an NA team to it (~$10,000)? It'd take a massive community get-together.

i49 - When Continents Collide

NA/EU/AU

Start the collection for i49.

From reading this entire thread, I've seen people talk about how the last i48/i46 brought the NA and EU scenes closer together and how they have even begun to work on 'projects' and 'content' together as one entity. Well, this appears to be another one of those 'projects'. There are people from both scenes that have already pledged to donate to seeing this battle between NA and EU happen again at i49.

So why not let us see if we can raise the funds?

And the people saying 'well you should be donating those $50 to a tournament prize pool', when was the last time you saw a prize pool thread/donation for a tournament (granted I haven't been around this scene until recently, I could be wrong.) Why not let the people donate to what they WANT to see happen, whether it brings exposure/grows the community doesn't matter, people want what they want. And to a certain extent, the people that donate to the cause will be self-promoters for the i49, because to them, it's a big deal and that's all they're going to talk about to their friends once it's confirmed that it's happening.

I say, let the people donate to what THEY want, and it's never too early to start the collection. I will even donate because I feel that this community has helped me greatly in the past months and I feel it's time to return the favor.

So about these brackets....coming up on 24 hours after that post was made.

We had the same problem with some teams in L4D2 in both the NA and EU scenes. We basically had to ask the team if they'd like to participate in a war room and then if they said 'yes', then ask them to be serious about it and not just start talking about what their favorite cereal is during tank (literally happened in the Grand Finals of a tournament...)

Sucks that players started trolling your war rooms :/

^.^

I'd like to see war rooms sometimes in TF2, I don't know if that was ever a thing though.

I was known as the pimp of L4D2....I'm gonna go now >.>
