This is easily the most important post in this thread.

I'll actually go to this eventually. :(

Regardless, looking forward to another great event. :3

LFT

Tony is one of the chillest dudes I've met, and he was an absolute monster of a soldier back when he took TF2 very seriously.

Still hope to possibly see you at future RGB LANs. :3

I'd love to, and already gave Wade my full permission to release my interview entirely. Can't remember exactly what he said (check his TFTV post history if you really care), but apparently it wasn't in the cards.

Right before the interview, Wade told us to just completely say whatever we want without any regard for anything. My interview was about an hour, and most of the compliments / good things I said ended up in the video. Everything else about his BM / man-child personality / how he changed from a quiet, quirky guy into a cringey narcissist mysteriously didn't make it into the final video. When I talked to some of the other people who also had interviews, it was exactly the same outcome as mine. This isn't a conspiracy theory, as one of the people that were responsible for working on the video said he demanded edits. He got numerous drafts to review before the final video. Never heard of a documentary on someone where they got to throw out all the parts they didn't like. LUL

Watch the trailer, then the documentary. The trailer's tone was entirely different than the documentary because a certain boi said "nooo I don't like how this depicts me :(((!!!!!!"

It's kind of weird that he hasn't realized that if he had any amount of humility, it'd be better for himself as well as the game. Instead, he has these kinds of outbursts that weren't a tiny bit provoked by anyone.

I'll actually never understand his hatred for other teams. Even when my teams were bitter rivals with b4nny / froyo, I still wanted NA to win Insomnia / Rewind LANs. At i55, we even gave froyo some warmup scrims before their grand finals match.

Did he become way more bitter after he had ESA edit his documentary countless times because all of the bad shit everyone said about him???

This is correct. A few soldiers started to use scripts where if they'd left click, it'd change their view model to the left and then shoot, and if they right click, it'd change their viewmodel to the right and then shoot.

Very soon after, Valve patched it out. This happened sometime in 2008 or 2009 I believe.

This is correct. DubThink has been working on this, so it should be done hopefully soon.

You can try to check the Event Viewer to see if there's anything that stands out just before your computer randomly restarts.

Don't totally assume that it's the motherboard (or any one specific thing). It really could be a handful of possibilities. Easiest thing you can try is to remove a stick of RAM and see if it still happens. If it does, put the RAM back and take out a different stick, etc. Bad RAM can cause strange shit to happen.

Theoretically, you could test to see if it's your hard drive by creating a bootable standalone image of Windows on a flash drive. I use it a decent amount at my job and it's pretty awesome. I can help you with this if you wanna add me on Steam.

Unquestionably not me, I suck. :D I never really practiced my dm in TF2, even though I'd consider it pretty good in other games.

I'd vote Cozen, though.

Or maybe Ruwin if you considered him a medic main, but I think most people considered him a scout main after a while.

OP's format looks oddly familiar to mine for RGB LANs posts. :P

I'm glad that these tournaments are still happening at the Insomnia LANs, and looking forward to many more.

All of us on staff are probably super relaxed and/or asleep from exhaustion for the next 48 hours, but I'll try to see if the server guys can check to see if any STVs saved.

Remind me later this week if you don't hear anything from me.

Shoutout to all of you :3

TF2 will be the home of this LAN as long as you keep showing up and supporting it, regardless of the number of teams (which was 18 teams this LAN). You'll never have any concern about it going away.

final prize payouts are below, btw.

Teams: 18

Current prize pool - $1040
3rd place - $104
2nd place - $312
1st place - $624

About team signups (please pass this info around)

1. Buy-in is $30 per team ($5 per person). I need this money all at once. I do not want to track down which individual people paid me / still needs to pay me from each team. I need your entire team paid at the same time. You need to give this money to me, as no one else from staff will be keeping track of this.

2. Cut-off for registration will be at 10:30 AM on Saturday morning. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL 10:29 AM TO PAY ME, as I don't want 7 different teams coming to me at the cut-off. You can pay me at any time during Friday or Saturday before 10:30 AM. Just get it out of the way as early as you can so it's not an issue.

3. If you're still in the tournament, do not leave the LAN area without asking me. Every single LAN, some team (or parts of a team) will completely disappear for an extended period of time without telling me, causing heavy delays in the tournament. I've come close to handing out forfeit losses before, but I have yet to do so. Ultimately, it's disrespectful to everyone involved to delay the tournament like that. Please, just bring it up to me so I can tell you how much time you have to do what you need to do.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Come say hi! :3
