People driving are likely much more impacted by weather in winter anyway, a lot more on the ground travel to cover without hitting a blizzard

Also the logistics of hosting a 6s and HL tourney that's isn't BYOC is..... Stressful. Running one game at a time for both is already 24 computers and you're not even providing warm up stations.

I can see why a BYOC would be chosen to combat that issue but then you're adding back some of the variables in place online that playing at LAN is supposed to negate

Unfortunately it you want to look at what is balanced and also care about what is fun, a lot of the core mechanics of weapons are just not fun. Like you can tone down jarate, but it still fucking sucks that as you walked through a choke some dude from the back of the point clicked while looking at the sky and now you take a fuck ton of damage.

Hasn't banny been a pretty open person about the fact that he would gladly remove the entirety of the current invite players if it meant making progress towards what he thinks it's the way to grow the game?

Either way this discussion started with your saying that luc and banny should be invited. I agree. So should you, purple, skeez, botmode, etc.

And tbh someone should be a neutral 3rd party with a mute button because every meeting similar to this that I've been apart of has been banny aggressively shouting his ideas and trying to silence people who disagree

He also banned me from his league for not following his requests regarding the spy exploit (and because I tweeted a screenshot of him asking me to take down the post)

If you're inviting b4nny, I hope that other top players from multiple different teams are both being invited and actually showing up

oof I didn't know we were doing nerd sperg posts I would've puked out a bit more effort last night

Your claim to fame is that all you are is someone who pubs with JM but Caspian's screenshots on steam are mostly just him playing pubs with JM

I actually crossed the 5k hour mark last January (I think) and got pretty sad about it LOL, but I remembered that I used to idle on my mom's macbook when I was in highschool. Never reset my class stats so this is just kinda funny

Gee I Wonder Why I'm Only Good At Scout
(also lol @ my 372 kills in one life as scout, my strange weapon game in 2014 was POPPIN)

ya I played medic in an hour long match (s/o kings crew I'm still salty)

In most of the logs you posted I was kinda miserable playing tf2 and was just doing it cause I enjoy streaming and tf2 is where I get viewers

also lol you linked a fuckin rgl match where boar played 6 of the 9 classes as proof of how bad I am (undefeated RGL No Restriction 6s 2nd Place Player, While Getting Banned In The Same Season BTW)

You also did 300 dpm after presumably not playing for at least a year in your first ever ss

Also cool to see that Caspian, who hasn't played a match since s22, and hasn't had a log recorded since 2016 just kinda randomly logged on to esea to change his name

Plus the entirety of what shows up on http://logs.tf/dev when you compare logs that have JM & Caspian in them to the ones with JM & popo in them is just a wacky coincidence I'm sure

O I forgot these as well:

lmfao "gee I wonder who this new player is that is obsessed with JM and happens to only be half decent at a brain dead class"

also can we quit letting JM get away with this "I don't care about this game" bullshit he puts up. The dude has played tf2 consistently for the last 9 years and hasn't improved in the 6 years I've been playing. I played IM w/ 350 ping fluctuations but this man child has to hide in open where he can farm his fragile ego.

If you want to just live in mediocrity I'm cool with that but at the very least don't send your lil boy toy circle jerk to say you have ping issues on tftv.. just sad.

lmao @ the 4 people that messaged me after I posted this and said they can't believe no one else realizes its caspian

you're literally so bad people just assume you must be a new player ROFL

okay popo

you can't say "your reading comprehension sucks" and also have to google fucking self-loathing

Caspian. You've been playing medic in IM since season 14

you cringe as mother fucker think that by hiding behind a different alias hides that you have been playing since fucking 2013.

jesus grow a fucking pair

dude you are the most obnoxious self-loathing person I've ever fucking seen

if you weren't such a fuck people might be less interested in the fact that you play the same division all the time

you walk around talking like you've got a big fuckin dick but as soon as someone says you shouldn't play open you're just a lil babywaby pub medic dat doesn't want to wose :(

I really think its best if you just don't play invite for the entirety of ESEA... just doesn't seem right that you're in for the last season.

I mean.. No
It didn't take them much resources to add TF2 to the CS ESEA LAN. But when ESEA signed with ESL to host their top division playoffs, there was no way ESL was gonna host a large scale TF2 tourney.

That being said I believe some of the middle ESEA divisions have a lower key LAN we could in theory get added to

Servers run at 60 tick, so there's an update every ~16.66 milliseconds. So if someone with 5 ping shoots later in the tick, the rocket may appear on the server as late as 21 milliseconds later, but could also appear in pretty much 5 milliseconds.

And then its kinda a bracketing system from there I guess. You're almost always going to be within the same 'bracket' of real time delay.

if you guys can't feel the variance between rocket timings when you shoot early in the tick vs late in the tick (max difference of like 15 realistically), then its reasonable to say that feeling the difference between 25 and 50 ping isn't actually that much
