I'm pretty sure it was because it was the only game posted by the time he reviewed the demo.

For anyone who doesn't know THS is the Tryhard Highlander Spring Open(http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/6168-ths-presents-tryhard-tactics-highlanderspringopen)

My experience is as follows:

Skilless gamemodes:

UGC HL s6 - Backup/Starter Engineer for How I Fragged Your Medic (2nd place nickel)
UGC HL s7 - Starter Engineer for Killer Gummy Bears (22nd place steel)
UGC HL s8 - Starter Engineer for Chain Reaction (1st place silver)
UGC HL s9 - Starter Engineer for Chain Reaction (Platinum)

UGC 6s s9 - Backup Scout for Six Small Slick Seals
UGC 6s s10 - Backup Scout for Six Small Slick Seals

ESEA s13 - Backup Scout for Zaboomacrew (open)

Important crap:

Ready Steady Pan s1 - Backup Demoman for Pansexual Pandas (1st place europe)
Ready Steady Pan s2 - Starter Demoman for Pansexual Pandas (EU)
Ready Steady Pan s3 - Starter Demoman for Prolander (NA)

Anything that we can discuss in private we can discuss here. My complaint is this, you claim you are no long scrimming iron/steel teams, but the teams that you list yourself as scrimming in the OP have several steel teams I recognize.

I fail to see how trolling new players, and adding to the stereotype of competitive players being jerks, could be considered anything but hurting the community.

Also I see no need or reason to get into a pissing contest with you about the relative skill of our teams.

As they are not an actual team, this is outside the UGC admin's jurisdiction. While they have sportsmanship rules for actual matchs, they can't do anything about what a pug team does while scrimming.

"One last thing I wanted to mention is this issue is a product of the TF2 community, not UGC. While I agree the actions by said individuals is deplorable to say the least, this is a community problem that must be solved by the community. Far too often our admin team not only gets blamed for everything, but is also expected to solve everyone's problems. It's time for our community to step up and take some of the responsibility itself.

There is no way we can interfere with scrims, lobbys, pugs. One quick look at our current admin dispute section shows dispute after dispute, all about sportsmanship. It's time for people to take a good hard look at the TF2 community and identify what the problems are and address them as a community. Blaming the admins and expecting them to fix everything isn't going to get anyone anywhere. "

EDIT: this was a response to a now edited post asking if we could just report the guys to UGC

You guys are actively hurting the TF2 community. You are a disgrace.

For people who don't know Highlander drama, these are the "teams" full of aliasing silver/gold players who decided that aliasing and claiming that they are new players to scrim steel and iron teams to boost their ego would be a good idea.

I made this video a little bit back which might be what you're talking about:

Edit: ninja'd lol

This would further increase the difference between comp and pubs, which is already a pretty big problem for TF2. For that reason alone I think a bhopping mod should never be added to comp TF2.

Speaking as a random UGC player, why would I switch over? This isn't like ESEA 6s where I'd paying for much better competition and a higher skill level. I'd be paying for a slight chance of a prize pool which I'm probably not getting. Why not just play the exact same teams in UGC?

Discuss how UGC was started.

How do they feel about the generally negative reception to anything they do/say?

In my opionion, the difference between you doing offclassing and silly weapons and AG doing it was that AG had a really exciting and actually pretty close game, while you guys just got 5-0'd very quickly. (not to mention the rumors of it being done for seeding differences)

This was literally 95% talking trash about FT. I mean the match was dumb as heck, and I really disagree with a bunch of things FT has done, but I feel like a incredibly opinionated (regardless of whether those opinions are correct) article like that should not be posted on eseanews.

bhopping works in TF2?
