While it's not ESEA, I think that bpm had a step in the right direction for that last season, since they were sponsored by Lotus Clan. Lotus actively promoted them when they were cast by tf.tv, especially during playoffs, and much of the chat had messages like "Lotus sent me, go bpm", etc. Since esports are largely a non-geographically divided sport, at most by continent, then we need to look at those online groups and communities to sponsor teams and give that sense of team loyalty, since many pub players will find a server or server group they enjoy and stick to it.

There was no common folder in Steam/steamapps? That's where pretty much every non-source game goes. I'd be very surprised if you didn't have one.

And coming in at the top of the list of reasons why I'm happy I live in Olathe, Kansas when not at school

Man, those shirts are the best. I have two of them and love 'em.

2 650 Ti Boosts are more powerful than a 670 for cheaper

How can you be angry at them

I have red switches on my Steelseries 6GV2 (which is also in your price range FYI). It's a bit awkward for a couple days, but then you get used to it. I've actually come to love how easy they are to press for gaming, it feels softer to the press and the response time is pretty great.

Hey Rays, I switched to your HUD today and love it. I have one question, though - I realize previews don't work yet, but is there a list somewhere that can show me what each crosshair actually is? I know what I want, but it's really difficult to pick the right one(s) when it's just a bunch of crosshair names.

Also, is there some way to implement a brosel-style crosshair switcher? I can do just one crosshair fine, but I'd like to have more than one available to me (I like default for the medigun, for example, but I'd rather use a cross with a dot for needles or wings for when I pub scout).

It snowed for a bit today in central Kansas. Seriously, a week ago I had my car windows down and now it's below freezing again.

Love the sketch, sent in my payment via the info mana gave. I'm adding you, just in case, accless.

Mana, don't sell yourself short; if Rays hadn't sent us I never would have found your stream. You're a cool guy.

Watch the man play healed bazooka shooter!

They got 2 seconds of coordinated hate and they cleared chat and went subscribers-only lol

I live in the area, and if I remember right they're going to install free high-speed citywide (well, Kansas City, Kansas proper and Olathe). I'd assume that means that they can install Fiber anywhere too.

I'm like the only Medic who actually likes huds that keep the TF2 look, apparently. I personally use EVE hud - http://code.google.com/p/eve-tf2hud/ It's like a cleaner, more efficient version of CommunityHUD (which I used to use and now realize how bad it was for a Medic). Use the autoinstaller and make sure to set the centered Ubercharge bar option.

Well I'm interested.

* Number keys switch weapons and should do an autocall at varying levels for each weapon (the autocall is a work in progress, still need to work on it)
* F1 changes spawn when pressed twice (assuming a spawn change)
* F2 does an autocall
* T fakes Uber
* Right-click (when on medigun) pops and says "***I POPPED UBER, LET'S PUSH***"

Also has a reset exec at the top (assuming you have a reset.cfg)
