#1 Rates for making sniper easier in Customization

found this a few weeks ago and it seems pretty bullshit for it to not be public knowledge
it sets your lerp to 0.0 ms and hitboxes seem to lag behind the player models (by i assume a tick?).

very useful for tracking (especially air headshots) because you dont necessarily have to predict where someones gonna move you can just follow behind them. artificially improves your reaction times for tight angles and lets you get some bullshit shots round corners

cl_cmdrate 100
rate 10000000
cl_updaterate 10000000

is the full thing but i'm pretty sure the only thing that matters is the ridiculously high update rate (which somehow isnt limited by sv_maxupdaterate 66 in the ETF2L config)
i was gonna get on a server and test it out with OBS recording but i'm too lazy

seems to increase your ping by around 10ms so its not worth using for projectiles imo

#25 ETF2L playoffs system in TF2 General Discussion
SetsulStarkiethe only fair way to do double elim is for the final to be 2 bo3's as the upper bracket team hasn't lost a match. if it's 1 bo3 (or bo5) then if the lower bracket team wins both teams have lost 1 match but the lower bracket team are the winners. a random map advantage or map pick advantage just seems arbitrary.That's incorrect.
1. It's still not fair. 3-2, 0-3, 3-2 means the first team wins with a map score of 4-5. If the second match is a Bo3, Bo5, Bo7 or even Bo9 the second team wins. Instead the first team effectively gets an arbitrary 3 map advantage. Is that better?
2. Double elimination is never fair. If two teams meet only twice then the team that wins the second match, the one in the losers bracket, advances and the other is eliminated. Even if it's 1-1 in matches. The second match always counts more. That's how double elimination works.
That's why match length generelly increases in later rounds.

Seems to me that you don't understand double elimination brackets. I guess the "unfairness" of the losers bracket match is easily overlooked if you never have to play one.

Playing two games in the Grand Finals is usually used for competitions with fixed match length. E.g. if everything else was Bo1 then two Bo1s are played because playing three or four halves sounds retarded and is in some games not even possible.
SetsulAdvantages in B and D can be adjusted depending on how badly you want #1 to win.Try to think about that please.
Because "#1 needs to win 1 match, everyone else needs to win 2" is an awfully simplistic and #1 centered view. By your own logic it also lacks "competitive integrity" because #2 gets no advantage over #3.

ive read your post multiple times and i still dont understand what youve said

#21 ETF2L playoffs system in TF2 General Discussion
Opti_Playing every thing in a day can make it end very late and also your system doesn't allow the 4th team to participate in the playoffs.
You could allocate less time for playoffs (as ombrack said) and force teams to play within this period of time to make it less boring.
I think we can fuse the s21 idea and the current system as:

Game A 1 vs 2 (with map pick/ban advantage to 1)
Game B 3 vs 4 (with map pick/ban advantage to 3)

Game A winner goes to final (and has pick/ban advantage in the finals)
Game B looser is out
Game B winner plays Game A looser in Game C
Game C winner goes to final

This format can be made not boring. You can force all games to be played in 1 week. A and B on day 1, C on day 2 and final on day 3, days do not need to follow each other. We can even now merge onto your original idea and play game C and final on the same day.
This makes the season relevant because ending at the top of the tables gives you advantages in the picks and/or a direct chance to reach finals.

edit: heh, pretty much Setsul's idea but 10 minutes too late...

i'll try and make my point clearer on double elim because i was being brief in the first post

the only fair way to do double elim is for the final to be 2 bo3's as the upper bracket team hasn't lost a match. if it's 1 bo3 (or bo5) then if the lower bracket team wins both teams have lost 1 match but the lower bracket team are the winners. a random map advantage or map pick advantage just seems arbitrary. i understand why it's a necessary evil to lengthen tournaments for LAN but it's not required here as there's already been 28 season matches.

so a double elim final is either incredibly lengthy (and one-sided) or it lacks competitive integrity

also i thought bloodis' suggestion was a good idea. personally i prefer mine since it makes the season a proper battle for teams contending for 3rd but his system makes a miracle 4th place run possible

#1 ETF2L playoffs system in TF2 General Discussion

the current system for the playoffs is pretty bad in a few ways:

  1. its BORING
    it already feels like playoffs has been going forever and we're not even halfway through it. why does it have to take weeks people just lose interest
  2. makes the season irrelevant
    our advantage for coming first in the regular season is a map pick advantage in one match we play of the playoffs. it took us 7 weeks to prove we were worthy of that 3rd map pick
  3. double elim SUCKS and isnt necessary here
    to me double elim is a bad format because if its fair the final has to be 2 bo3's which can take fucking forever and is usually just a blowout anyway. if the final isnt 2 bo3s its just not real double elim and you get some weird ass advantage into the suddenly single elim finals. sometimes double elim is necessary (like for LANs) but not here because i have the nutty solution.

✔️ use the same format that you used in s21! !! ✔️
literally everyone i asked who was involved said it was a way better system so idk why you stopped using it (maybe theres a genuine reason who knows)

playoffs happen on one day only (exciting: ✔️), 3rd plays 2nd, then winner plays 1st (season placing matters: ✔️)

no scheduling required too the casters are gonna love it

#6 Game of Thrones S8 in Off Topic
sheepy_dogs_handAt first, GRRM was saying "NO" to every hollywood producer because he didn't want his books and characters he loved so dearly and had worked on for so many years to be swallowed by hollywood with mindless action. He didn't want the stupid writing that makes no sense and exists solely to advance the plot without any sense or purpose. He didn't want his characters turned into two-dimensional vehicles that have no identity or depth and are only there to advanced the plot.

So he finally turns to Television, and meets a couple of dudes who promised they would stay true to his imagine and he really believed them. Imagine George grinning with pure joy as he watches season 1 of the show. Where it follows the book almost perfectly, with the actors HE wanted, with the stories and dialogue that he wrote.
Truly watching his world come to life.

I'm sorry George, i'm so so sorry.

to be fair their job got much harder when they no longer had books for reference. its still a good series just not quite as good was it was at the start
