I dont agree at all, the reason to play is because tf2 is fun. Elo shouldnt be the motivator to play, that just leeds to toxicity. If anything elo should be a deterrent to not trying to win and trolling.

- Active support as Lupus said
- Map voting/banning depending on if its captain based or mixed based
- Probably no elo is better, but I am unsure
- Some type of captain priority for captains who have better winrates or something like that. Avoids a mid player shoehorning in to the pug as captain when there is like 15 prem players added.
- Rigid rules that with a clear structure of ban length depending on what has been broken and how many times maybe.
Thats the most important things I can think of for me personally

I think captain pugs tend to get bad. Mixed pugs have their problems too. I think to solve higher div pugs as I said at lan would be a d2 or d1+ mix pug. So basically the same as tf2pickup.com but with that restriction

Thanks to mandem for putting on a great performance, letting me join for dinners and letting me be team dad for the lan. As always thanks to supra and basestack and everyone else that made this possible. Production was insane as always, loving the gameshows and stuff for the down time. You guys are really upping the quality every time. Thanks wonzsu for being super kind and helping out in a time of need! Huge thanks to Joey Gunz for letting me rip a few maps on med, I had a great time! I wanna list so many people but that will just make me forget people so I'll leave it at that! Until the next one :)

Mine might be when I gave my phone with livestream running to funs and Raptor during SweLAN and they went to a pizza place. Funs being drunk as hell and started talking to random people in the line rofl. Atleast it was easy to find my phone with the livestream running.

Also pretty memorable when they locked the kitchen in the hostel at SweLAN because the 3 non tf2 guests were disturbed by the noise. Rip all the alcohol for the final night.

Another one is the gas station raid when Rcadia closed the bar early on the final night. First the staff wanted us to be quiet and let a few people in at the time. And people were hushing and were dead quiet with the only chance at alcohol at stake

One of my first epic lan memories was i49 when Broder(TCM) took a map of epsilon during the final, unreal hype

dm working with the pug ready up :D

good shout, thanks!

For me waiting wouldn't be an issue, my current setup is fine for now. Is overclocking still the thing to do with the new chips? Seems to be a lot of praise for undervolting right now which is what I initially planned. I think the performance of the 13700k draws me in because of games like tarkov and whatever new tripple a's that will come out in the future. But I'll defo wait for 7700X3D and 7800X3D to see the price/performance unless i7 13700k comes on a crazy sale again, a friend got it for 400euros during black friday but I missed it :( Even though I'm planning on undervolting having the option in the future to overclock would be nice so I've been looking a bit at z690 and z790 and I'm leaning towards a z790 I've generally leaned towards asus in the past but they seem to be very expensive right now compared to gigabyte and msi. thanks for thr reply once again Setsul!

Might be potentially looking to upgrade cpu and to ddr5 over christmas. I'm thinking either 13700k or 7700x, they both seem to have their advantages while being roughly the same average over a couple of games. The 7700x seems to be very impressive in csgo which I guess translates to tf2 while being slightly cheaper and lower power consumption. However the 13700k seems to be impressively stable in games with very impressive low 1% avg fps.

I'm currently running i7-8700k. I do have a noctua nh-d15 which I suppose should be sufficient, though for 7700x ill need to grab a mounting kit. As for the 13700k it seems like you should get a contact frame? I'd also need a new mobo ofc but gotta decide on the cpu first. Thanks!
