Valve supports the leagues, the leagues' streams advertise the gambling sites.
Valve could just tell the leagues to stop advertising gambling if they want Valve's support for LANs and such to continue.
They're not doing this. This also makes them responsible.

Like I said in #17 it isn't that simple ofcourse. If they stop advertising the gambling the amount of twitch viewers will decrease by a lot. This doesn't mean Valve shouldn't take actions against barely legal gambling sites promoting underage gambling though.

These gambling sites have always been really shady.
The reason why there's gambling site ads during tournaments is because the leagues have no other choice.
With the rise of gambling sites leagues started noticing that streams have a lot less viewers if there are no bets up for the games. So they had to start making deals.
So leagues advertise these sites now and in return bets are opened for their games. And now the leagues are stuck with them.

"What's that? You don't like our questionably legal methods. Okay we're canceling all bets on games from your league which makes you lose half of your viewers. Come back when you're willing to make us more money."

I'm assuming you don't know much about trading in general if you're asking here so I'll help you out a bit.
Like Sh0ras mentioned this isn't the place for trading though.

According to this your friend owns the only one in existence so there is no price yet
However Miami Nights and Orbiting Fire are priced at 19 and 20 keys respectively

http://backpack.tf/effects Here effects are ranked by price
Massed Flies hats average 38.5 keys
Miami Nights hats average 31 keys
Orbiting Fire hats average 29 keys

After some simple math this means the Massed Flies hat can sell for around 26 keys

in a competitive setting demoman is probably the hard-to-master class with a high skill ceilling you're looking for.
The competitive scene also needs more demomen so if you want to get into comp in a couple of months once you're getting the hang of it you'll be able to find a team relatively easy

Reactivity II tomorrow, Reactivity III 3 days after that, Quantum Chemistry 1 week after that. More exams in August so I have a break for maybe 2 weeks after Quantum Chem after which I start studying again

Help

I think I'm to blame for that. Someone submitted a lot of info about plug-ins because whitelists/tftrue were mentioned and I approved it without seperating everything. Fixed now

I agree. The reason why it's mentioned there is because some EU people tested it when the feature was added. They recommend putting it at 5. I only wrote the negatives for now because I wasn't part of the tests so I don't really know what I should write for the positives. I'll ask the person that wanted the setting to be mentioned to write something up

You are correct. I added a new section behind the Taunts/Cosmetics section about Server Configs (because that's about Whitelists so might as well group all the config stuff together)
Thanks :)

There's mention of the usage of the demos.tf plug-in and TFTrue for automatically recording STVs if that's what you mean with p-rec-like features. One of the FACEIT devs in the discord also coded for the tftrue plug-in so I think they know about that already though

I'm fine with the blink-like abilities that were shown. Just hoping this isn't meant to completely replace bunnyhopping and other movement mechanics

Wallhacks are meh but if this plays like previous games this won't have much impact anyway because you use sound to locate enemies already (jumping, weapon switching, weapon pickups, teleporters, jump pads, etc) I'm also assuming this'll have a relatively long cooldown

Let's wait for gameplay trailers. Cinematic teasers are useless. And if it turns out terrible we'll still have Reflex

Anyone can suggest additions and changes to the doc. So if you think something should definitely be added make a suggestion in the doc and/or the #suggestions-feedback channel in the TF2 faceit discord. There's always room for improvement https://discord.gg/013dP1BU6B57MVO4a

I'm one of the people who can approve edits alongside KevinIsPwn and Nursey. We still check the doc daily for suggestions

I've been using a slightly higher sensitivity for demo/soldier for a while now (1.5x multiplier). I take some extra time to warm up when I switch between a class. 2 minutes of warmup is usually enough

Plenty of people I know do the same. Most use a 2x multiplier for projectile classes relative to hitscan but anything can work. Just need to get used to it

Might be worth a lot if they can find a collector for glitched items

http://stats.tf/item/205/Rocket_Launcher
According to this there's 46 crafted unique rocket launchers in TF2
(Item Origin > click RAW)

edit: depends on a couple of things though.
how big is the market for them: how many people collect them? are there other sellers currently ?
Don't expect someone to trade this for a 50 key unusual. But if you find the right person they might offer a couple of keys

I agree with a lot of things b4nny says. i'm glad he's kind of a middleman for Valve to get feedback for MM. I'm confident he's doing a good job
edit: He also seems like a nice guy who just likes TF2 a lot. He can get defensive about it at times which is why some people say he's changed. Most of that is wrong. People just treat him differently now so he treats everyone differently back

Sunshine was okay. Better than some other maps in the pool at least. I'm really hoping Phi doesn't give up on the map and improves it to the point where people will vote it back in
Also everyone please give Reckoner a chance. It won't improve if nobody plays or gives feedback

99% of b4nny subs are cool. There's only a handful of exceptions and they ruin it for the rest
(I'm saying this as someone who rarely actually watches his streams. My experience with b4nny subs is outside his chat. No clue what his own stream chat is like)

The stream list on the TF2 main menu is aids. At least 5 viewbotters playing TF2 since it was added (no idea why but they were all Russian). A lot of pubbers in chat backseat gaming.
Growing the twitch community at the cost of the community becoming more toxic is not worth it.

To my knowledge there is no server command that can limit dxlevel outside of the matchmaking beta. And even if there is/will be they're listening to feedback from the community. People in the discord are working on a spreadsheet with suggestions for faceit and that is included in there. So even if such a command were to be added they wouldn't force it after seeing the community likes dx8
