I play chess at a very high level (uscf 2100+)

Bein a main caller in HL and now playing demo in main in my second season of ESEA (albeit I'm NOT one of the best ones in the div heh) with my highlander teammates on scouts and roamer I have a pretty good insight on the differences between 6v6 and 9v9.

The main one (at the TOP levels of highlander, at least) is that the biggest challenge in highlander is getting 9 people to think similarly and be on the same page. This feels far more difficult to me than getting a team in 6v6 to be on the same page. On the flip side, because this is the case, and because of the classes in highlander, individual DM is diminished in importance (with the exception of sniping). This may or may not appeal to certain people. If I wasn't main calling in highlander and organizing everything as it happens, there is no way on earth I'd play heavy because it is a boring class that requires minimal DM. I'm guessing harbleu feels similarly on medic in highlander.

In response to why some people bash 9v9, THE UNLOCKS would have to be one of the biggest reason. However, this is a reason to bash the league, not the game mode. I think almost everyone would be much happier if all unlocks that dealt any form of crits or minicrits was not allowed.

If the team you played for was not organized, then the resulting chaos would cause frustration. Our team's biggest frustrations come from when we are playing without teamwork and organization, not from a medic dropping etc.

tune in to watch me and djc get carried harder than in 6s even

Our last two scrims vs ginyu paragon beast moded too, perhaps reason for this ranking that I wholly support <3

If you want to give anyone shit give it to the fuck who gets pleasure out of DDOSing someone both in the server and directly over and over again, or to ESEA who was completely inept at dealing with the DDOS problem.

Not to mention we had to pay an extra month of premium to even PLAY this match because of all the reschedules, postponing playoffs start a week, and DDOS problems.

Do not give anyone on our team shit for how we played, we don't claim to be good at tf2 at all in the first place and you imagine trying to stay focused playing a match while your med is being ddos'd after weeks and now hours and hours of delays to bs. There was literally no way we could stay focused but we tried our damnest regardless.

I had the same concern last night and wanted to know what they could do before rescheduling. We were assured from esea that there would be some kind of protection from this.

dont question what the people want
