I was venting about the accessibility of their events, it just feels a bit odd to host an open tournament that has an $80 buy in that isn't the main event. I've never actually been to an RGL LAN and I hope to in the future, and it's awesome that they're going out of their way to do this for the community. Sorry if I came off that way grape/loafe, not my intention at all to insinuate that they should stop hosting these events that have done so much good for the community.

I've been playing since around the same time as Katryna ugc season 17-18 highlander, the idea of having league fees for highlander is a joke. Even esea got rid of their fees for the open division, you just had to ask someone for their esea insider code they weren't using and the season was free.

These are like 14-15 year olds with no money who just want to play a video game, if you lower the stakes (money) you lower the incentive to care as much about winning each individual match. These teams in RGL will just die if they lose 1 or 2 matches, or if they know they won't make playoffs, people aren't playing to just play tf2 anymore. It's just toxic clout chasers putting each-other down because they don't know how to do anything else.

And don't even get me started on RGL lan, these guys host their "grass roots" lan event in the middle of a city at a premium venue, then on top of that charging people $35 at the door, and $80 to play in the open tournament, let alone the actual tournament that people are there to see. Nobody is asking for this, nobody wants this.

I get terrible stuttering above like 500 polling rate, no clue why. Using a logitech, so might have to do with their drivers, another 8k might be fine.
