Should be a really good match.

Slightly off-topic, just thought it interesting the maps choices for WG vs 4G and Mal vs G6 are basically identical.

How many red flags by the end of this race? Predicting at least one more. If Esteban leads tho lmao

beast player, pick him up!

Hopefully his gearbox isn't damaged and he doesn't have to get a penalty.

Not sure if it’s possible, but what would happen if they tied in points after the last race? Would the person who came in first win (out of ham and ver)? And if they both DNF?

Alonso finally with the podium let’s go! Just narrowly not breaking the record lol

Honestly, a new engine each race might be the move cause ham just showed 5 places don’t matter. Actual advantage of being an engine manufacturer

corts a beast, great player, always looking to improve. pick this guy up!

cu @ lft

Pretty sure maps and cosmetics are updated by their creators so I don’t think Valve did anything besides the client crash and push the update.

I think for a few reasons. One, Open no longer is a huge division, but instead three separate divisions. Of course, the thread is still one giant thread but still, there's less for people to talk about, cause they just won't know/won't care what's going on in other divisions.

Second and I think this is the bigger reason but the majority of the people I've played with in NC, Amateur, IM, and even now some in main, just don't check, know, or care about tftv the site, so they are less likely to participate in discussions, even if it did pertain to them.

+freight or yukon.

freight is still in dm server rotation so thats gotta mean something right? Also are the trains on freight random or on a constant timer?

I know a lot of people here aren't a fan of McVicker but its not him reporting it (someone else) and its not incredibly promising so there's not much reason to lie about it.

Tldw
Essentially it is a Cease and Desist as Valve had no idea any of these projects were going on, and they were using Source Code unofficially causing Valve to freak out. Part of this problem is due to the fact there has been no official way to mod-tf2 / distribute it, causing to things being used without Valve's ok + its apparently difficult to contact the correct person to get a Source Code licenses. Once Valce caught wind of it they sent it to their legal dept and sent out a C & D.

The 'good' news is that they might be willing to let these projects continue under some form with Valve's permission, in something similar to how the l4d modding scene works. Of course its relying on Valve to actually do something, and for modding communities to propose what they'd like from valve to continue their work.

That being said I'm not an affected modder nor do I have any official knowledge that this is correct outside of the McVicker video so someone else (Mastercoms) could probably explain the situation better.

TBF the original post didn't talk about the length of the grand final, nor did it talk about halftimes or weekend tournaments. Just that map advantage sucks and the UB winner should only get a map pick advantage in the pick ban process. This would make GFs longer on average actually, so this grand finals take too long isn't even really relevant.

Also GFs taking too long is only a problem for invite as everyone else just does a Bo3, so its not like this a huge problem and its only gonna affect 12 players max each season (who happen to be the most dedicated to playing this game).

And if you're gonna suggest that players can give up a weekend to play GF + all other playoff matches, then idk how you can't assume that they can stay up late (which they already do routinely to scrim) one night of the season (assuming they make it to GF's in the first place).
