Not sure whether to go for the R9 270X or the HD 7870? Also would be willing to spend a few more quid to make some cheap upgrades if anyone has any ideas.

to be honest though, the jews used to be right at the top of european tf2 and they were all playing with 100 ping. If they were at lan they'd have wrecked everyone.

From that post I'm guessing you thought the thread was a tad long and decided to just guess what all the words meant instead of reading it.

some really sweet plays Dikker, hope to see you in d1/prem next season with 4-25 dodging nerds again

Here's how I see the situation.

The Grand Final is a foregone conclusion anyway, Epsilon are going to rape. The only reason to play it is for the spectators and for increased viewership for sponsorship awareness etc. and for the fact that it is the pinnacle of the season. Forfeiting the largest game of the season and thinking everyone should be ok with that is really dumb. Arx summarised this really well and I think forfeiting the game would actually be the most retarded decision.

However the timing of everything (through nobody's fault) has meant that the game cannot be played until some time in the new year if both teams want to use their proper rosters. By that time, the next season will have been announced, the highlander playoffs will be in full swing, there will be pre-season games for the next season and the teams won't have played for a long while. Epsilon weren't even planning on staying together after new year, so who knows when that game would get played finally. Delaying it isn't as simple as that.

If you want them to play before then, and not forfeit the biggest game of the season, then teams are gonna get fucked up. The TEAMS should have sorted this out and compromised, playing on a day when they each have 1 player missing (that would allow them to play any day they liked) because 1 merc is not going to make a fucking bit of difference in this game anyway.

Since they haven't done that, the admins considering some kind of penalty for boycotting the largest game of the season seems perfectly reasonable to me. Obviously it was meant as motivation not to forfeit rather than punishment.

Yes this is a ballache for the teams but it makes a difference from everything being on the admins all the time. They sort out everything else because nobody can be bothered to schedule, and the workload that the higher-up admins do is vital to keeping this game alive. Nobody else is willing to do the job for free. ETF2L is a great league almost all of the time and the bashing in this thread is dumb.

I have no idea, greater minds than mine are required.

What's in that directory for you? Just has 2 vdf files for me...did you tell steam at some point after the steampipe update to load your cfgs and hud from vdf? I remember that was an option but I have no idea how it worked - I think you've told it to do that somehow.

I use the american ones, ping doesn't really seem to matter. I know a lot of other EU people do too so I guess there aren't that many good EU servers.

I assume you mean enabled?

The most likely thing I can think of is steam cloud fucking up, that thing is a bitch. Try enabling steam cloud inside steam, then disabling it for TF2 and make a new cfg file again. If that doesn't work, disable it inside steam for all games too (unless you need it for another game of course).

Does it still say it can't find them, and can't find other cfg files you make? Has anything changed now you moved it around?

Create a new cfg (make sure it's ANSI, not a .txt file and ends in .cfg) and put something noticeable in it and try it out.

ok so for starters your cfg should be in there with your hud, i.e. the path for autoexec should be tf/custom/userstuff/cfg/autoexec.cfg. All those "cannot find" errors are due to that. Put them in there and try again, might not work but you'll be 1 step closer.

What a fucking douche mike said he wouldn't play. Top rude.

The map is pretty much just a reskin of ballin_sky, it's prettier but if that's all you're going for you could have made it even prettier hah. No complaints really.

Totally off topic but as I'm an uneducated euro pleb, the concept of minors isn't familiar to me. What level of learning does it involve compared to a normal degree? Would a minor in a subject prepare you for work in that area?

Ipz is the fucking "jolly bestest" boyo.

important game, should be a good one too

predicting a reverto victory but only by a whisker
