The first time I heard of coyo was when he commented “THE MEGA” on my steam profile mid 2019. I noticed he was good friends with an ex-teammate of mine and from what I understood this was what their circle of friends would call me as a joke - poking fun at my alias.

During i65 in the daytime, I was at home, and coyo sent me a friend request on steam. I accepted, he asked if I wanted to play scout for his new project team and I said yes, not knowing if this was a joke or not. He proceeded to call me a freak and removed me from his friends list.

Fast forward to 2020 and I had become much more active in several EU players’ twitch chats, and I can recall some instances where I’d pop in to say hi and coyo would coincidentally be in the chat at the same time and @ me - again making fun of my name on twitch at the time “TF2Megalodon”

I also remember a time when we were set to scrim against his team and during the pregame he did nothing but focus me as a sniper whilst flooding the in-game chat with “TF2MEGALODON”

A discord account was even created at a later point in time called themega, and there was a brief period where that account was posting in the ETF2L scrim channel, which I frequently used at the time.

I was very worried at this point, because there was this guy who I knew nothing about that was seemingly hellbent on getting some sort of reaction out of me. Most of all I felt upset because there was someone in the community who was generally pleasant and kind to everyone else, but for some reason they never reciprocated that behaviour with me. I can’t really put into words how it made me feel, but I was definitely uncomfortable.

Last year I got the chance to talk to him in mumble through a mutual friend - he just seemed like a normal guy who was interested in TF2. He invited me to his discord server, and we played a few pugs together.

I’m posting this because I don't think if this news had come to light that people would believe me or take me seriously if I said that I was being harassed by a member of the community - at least in an emotional way rather than sexual. Coyo has never sent anything remotely suggestive to me and my age has never been a topic in any of our conversations.

Hopefully I can bury all this for good now after bottling it up for so long.

Yeah this is a fair criticism all things considered. With regards to swi's "best achievment", I could have listed both of those achievements instead of jumping to a subjective conclusion. I'm glad you pointed that out - I can see why that can be an issue. I'm also aware of swi's four Division 1 wins, and of course it wouldn't have hurt to include that in there as well.

Having said that the article could have easily gotten too bloated in exploring each players' achievements and results to great detail. Especially abla who's been to significantly more LANs than the rest of the players on the main roster. I wanted to go for an easy read that didn't stray too far away from the subject of Duplo as a team and the Premiership division.

Consistency is a good thing - Keeping you consistently banned, that is.

From “TF2Megalodon” to just “Megalodon” , Please.

I think I did check task manager at some point and saw nothing out of the ordinary - then again I'm not 100 percent certain... Will check the next time the issue happens!

Yeah great suggestion, though as far as I can see in Task Scheduler Windows Defender isn't scheduling scans during active gaming hours. However, I've now set specific triggers just in case.

I have done that, yes.

Since April this year I have been experiencing random FPS drops that happen when playing the game. They can last up to 10 seconds, and can occur randomly. I observe at least one during a night of playing. My game runs buttery smooth otherwise @ 240Hz with an i5-8600k and GTX 1080.

I'm using mastercomfig low, with nohats, custom crosshairs, m0rehud, and custom hitsounds. Launch options are updated according to mastercomfig docs.

My temps seem perfectly normal when ingame, and I always keep all my drivers up to date. I also think its at least worth noting that I always notice the issue occurring at around the same time of day, several hours after booting up my PC.

There isn't really an issue and I think we can all move on without getting hurt. If certain members of nerdRage want to continue being keyboard warriors then so be it, I advise their opponents to just mute them if they become an annoyance. It's not like any of your taunts have any backbone behind them anyway. After the S38 Grand Finals for example, as soon as production invites your team to a post-game interview on stream and politely asks you to be respectful, the players on your team that were either personally attacking the enemy team as a whole or targeting individual players including yourself instantly submitted to their plea and refrained from doing so again during said interview - A point in time where your words would have carried the most weight behind them.

I don't agree with the idea that b4nny is a LAN dodger though - Given clockwork's insight on attending European TF2 LANs in his time it's pretty understandable as to why b4nny wouldn't want to travel to Europe again to play at insomnia, for instance.

I'm assuming you mean the blocky lighting? Try alias lightmaps_override in your autoexec

I've also been having stutters similar to that you have just described, audio crackling and frame stuttering. I'm using mastercomfig low. I've recently verified the game files and I think that might have been the cause but we'll see.
