this is why we need a bannysub only section for tftv

Rewind was great overall and I agree for the most part, but I would like to point out that it was by no means problem free. Yes, there were provided PCs, but ironically, the esports arena was only able to provide PCs with 60hz monitors for the entirety of the open group (aside from those few locals who were able to bring a monitor with them). IIRC, even a few of the invite teams had to scrim on 60hz for the first day because there weren't enough proper monitors. My open team had to play on 60hz up until the grand finals when we decided to just poach monitors from invite teams that had been knocked out before.
That's not even to mention the headache that was having to shuffle from table to table like a game of musical chairs since there weren't enough computers/seats for everyone. And it was near impossible to save demos because in addition to the constant switching of computers, the PCs for some reason wiped all of your data after being restarted.

At i58, the PC rentals provided everyone with proper 144hz monitors & PCs that didn't randomly wipe your data, and there was assigned seating so nobody had to shuffle their stuff from place to place. That's not to say there aren't drawbacks, like the fact that there was no tf2 on the main stage and and the much higher travel costs (also ofc birmingham is no sunny socal), but I think you may be a bit biased since the venue for rewind was literally like 20 minutes away from where you live.

I agree that the wait time in between when pugs are finished drafting and when the next pug is able to start is too long and if possible it should definitely be eliminated (i.e., the next pug can start instantly after the 12 people are chosen/maps are picked instead of leaving that screen up forever and preventing the next one from starting). This gets exacerbated by people deciding to kill pugs, which often results in even more delay if nobody steps up to captain since the person who killed the pug gets temporarily restricted.

As Jarrett and others have pointed out, the number of servers limits a maximum of 36 people to be currently playing a pug at once, but it is certainly not impossible for more than that to be added up (I remember seeing ~42 added before, back when a lot of invite players used to add up). Recently there have also been issues with certain servers not working which limited it to 2 or even 1 pug from happening at once. Trying to reinvent the wheel and and make a whole new pug service from scratch is overcomplicating things, all that's needed now is more servers.

rip Mr Wrench... open check will no longer be freelo
edit: in other news, does this mean that viper and the other open players inhabiting im are now back where they belong?

having kaptain pocket again is ofc better as is kaido maincalling again but idk, alle is pretty fucking good at this game so it's hard to say if it's a straight upgrade

I thought you did well for the most part but during the pregame I got kinda triggered because you said "you know" like a million times. Granted, if it's your first time casting it's understandable being nervous and not knowing what to say but imo you could just take your time and talk more slowly instead of trying to keep talking and fill the space.
