from Argentina probably ninjax, just from international reach, but other players like heysen or eklipse were the best as well in more recent times

Yes I've been experimenting with this: https://github.com/maxijabase/MGE-AFK-Manager
You'd need this as a dependency: https://github.com/maxijabase/TF2-AFK-Manager
Try it out and report back, I didn't fully test it yet.

Regarding spawns, that's configurable.
If you go to a specific MGE map's config file, you will see many keys that correspond to the different arenas.
Each arena has a "mindist" key, and the value is the minimum distance the victim should spawn from the killer.
If you increase this number, it should pick spawn points further from the killer.
Not sure if that's what you meant by "better" but personally I increased this number in all Badlands Middle arenas to 1000, so players would stop spawning next to me. I did not experiment with new spawn points or other arenas whatsoever, but that mindist value in add 4 yielded good results, although spawns often get repetitive behind the train.

Hi guys I'm able to attend the 2026 rgl philly LAN and I'm LFT. I played roamer and pocket scout for like 7-8 years, I'd love to play in the Open bracket.

Good question, I never messed with SourceTV, much less its HUD, I'll look into it.

This sounds very interesting, I'll look into it!

The title is clickbait, MGE is not being rewritten (sorta).

Hello! 5 months ago I started looking into fixing all of the annoyances I found in the MGE SourceMod plugin throughout the years as a 10-year-old MGE veteran.

This evolved into an MGEMod fork that started to gain attention and is currently being considered for usage in the upcoming MGE.tf seasons and tournaments.

There are too many changes to list here (full list in the repo) but here are the main ones:

• Redesigned 2v2 System - Team selection menu, ready system (!ready), teammates no longer spawn in the same spot, ELO can be toggled off for 2v2
  
• PostgreSQL & Database Improvements - Added PostgreSQL support, automatic migrations
  
• ELO Protection - Verification system prevents players with failed Steam auth from affecting ratings, corruption protection against database errors
  
• Enhanced Stats Tracking - Duel records now include class played, match timing, and ELO changes (before/after for each player)
  
• New Commands - !elo to toggle your personal ELO display, !add @player to join someone's arena, and more
  
• Map-Specific Configs - Split the giant spawns file into per-map configs for easier editing
  
• Plugin API - Full natives and forwards for developers to integrate with MGE

It's intended to be a drop-in replacement for the original. Database updates happen automatically.

You can take a look at the code and latest releases here.

By making this post I want to start asking you guys to try the plugin out and spread the word, see if you find:

• any bugs
  
• any form of annoyance you'd like to see changed/fixed
  
• any new ideas for improvements or feature requests

I've been dogfooding this project in my 3 MGE servers, and some arctic.tf servers already use it as well. The rate at which I find bugs and fix them is very slow, so I want more people using it and reporting bugs.

In the future I'd like this plugin to fully support not only 1v1 and 2v2 flawlessly without any bugs, but ultiduo and bball as well with no problems (I've already seen some but I seriously can't reproduce them alone), and be fully extensible and capable of interacting/interfacing with other plugins for new crazy ideas and modules that complement it.

Thank you. Please report any bugs as issues in the GitHub repo, or add me in Discord @amperetf and hit me up.

make sure not to mess with tf2's processing priority in the task manager

So sad to hear this. He was an insane inspiration to many of us diehard scout mains. May he rest in peace!

Hello guys, for the last month I've been working pretty hard on fixing and improving the MGE plugin with ideas and bug fixes I've identified over the years as a diehard MGE player, and I've reached a point where it's feasible to use it in a live server without any issues. I started mostly reworking the 2v2 system for it to be more comfortable and intuitive, but I implemented several fixes and features in the general scope of the gamemode as well. I'm inviting you to try out my changes, give your opinion on them, share ideas of features and bug fixes, and just overall provide suggestions of anything you wish related to the future of the plugin.

I'm already running this plugin on my Argentina server, and my two Brazil servers, and I've already reached the players over at triumph.tf and MGE.tf for them to provide suggestions and ideas as well. This post is me trying to spread the word further for the plugin to receive better and more diverse feedback.

Regarding translations, some of them have been created using AI. Feel free to provide corrections for them if they are needed.

Any issues, once again, let me know by posting here, or opening issues on the repo. Thank you!

Nice.

probably because they don't restart them every couple hours as they should be

No.
