First race in about 8 years now where ive been glued to the screen for the entire race

this is what f1 should really be about, the best drivers in the fastest cars all being pushed to (and beyond for some) their absolute limit

gutted for hulk though :(

ah, apologies. the site was down when i wanted to check

the map being updated was very clear but these seem like exactly the issues you run into when you update a map a week before its played and noones had time to playtest it properly, never mind potential problems with the new layout

were updating maps 1 week before we play them and then now making rule changes on forums on the wrong website 2 hours before officials

what is going on

2 5 sec penalties for danny ric might count as a break, but also makes me wonder what the point of watching f1 is anymore

dont know if people here watch any other motorsports, but watching the indy 500 tonight really made me realise how much f1 is missing, good action the whole way through, drama and strategy that are actually meaningful the whole way through, and a close fought last lap battle for the win. monaco is always rough but man f1 is really not exciting at the moment

can etf2l at the very least give some kind of communication or insight as to why these changes were made?

you could make arguments for 9 maps vs 7 maps, and what maps you play twice over the season, but everything in this thread is wasted breath if we dont know what the plan the admins have when these decisions are made.

agree with anathon, ETF2L and ozfortress have both had a full decade to decide on their own rulesets maplists and whitelist, and its happened very organically over that time

seems silly to waste 10 years of progress in those regions because some people are still hung up on tf2 esports ideas

the tf2 devs acknowledged something was wrong with pyro and did something about it before league admins

this is a genuinely depressing april fools

ticks are in the filenames, sorry for large demos they were on 133 tick servers

i wouldnt say sk are in a slump tbh

having to play the major with felps and then playing 2 gruelling af best of 3s vs fnatic and c9 was never gonna leave them any chance at all

they werent exactly taking summit seriously either..

the whole 'bug-using' thing is still pretty vague, for example would edgebugs count among this?

also as for all the individual map spots is there any reason we wouldnt use a 'new' version of the map where all the really dumb stuff is fixed? theres at least 5 or 6 pretty dumb ledges on gully alone i can think of, so to me it seems better to map all of these out fo the map rather than arbitrarily deciding which spots are legal and which ones arent

why are they being banned now?

as in, wallbugs have existed in tf2 for as long as tf2 has existed. whats changed to make etf2l ban them after 10 years of them being legal

is that the actual justification?
nothing about the merits of being allwed two pyros or whatever just cause a guy wants it
cause if so thats really poor

"Class limits: 2 for each of scout, soldier and pyro; 1 for all other classes"

imma need someone to explain why 2 pyros is allowed thanks
