I've always said making the class less about sentries and more about team based support making the engineer into a more "offensive support" would be the right way to go. There's always going to be backlash to this though because classes like engi are highly specialized and changing them in ways to give them a different niche pretty much has to change the entire identity of the class which people are never going to like. However I don't think you're ever going to see classes like heavy or engi balanced properly for anything outside of defending if they have a powerful minigun or sentry gun.

This is a real shame for the scene, hope that the alle team can step it up to try and contest se7en in the coming months and that someone else from NA can get a fundraiser going otherwise this could be a pretty dull lan.

If you run rocketjumper with this you're basically a 300 hp homing missile that can't be knocked back. I'm all for this.

I'm not suggesting that any teams below the top 2 from NA should go if they don't have a high chance of winning. It's pretty understandable (just as I wouldn't expect most of the prem teams to come to rewind lan). I just think it would absolutely suck if 0 North American teams came to i61.

I think 2 intercontinental lans a year with 1 in each region where we can expect at least the top team from the other region to attend is definitely feasible.

I think some people are overestimating the price of flights also

If no NA teams come to this year's lan its gonna be really lame for the iseries lan as this season has been one of the most interesting ones of prem ever and there's quite a few teams that could improve a lot between now and lan.

Also it's odd to expect EU teams to come to rewind but not have NA teams come to iseries when NA's league has a prizepool they can put towards their travel costs (and b4nny is making much more from this game than anyone else). It's a shame that the lan was announced late but I can still find flights for under $1000.
