why is the division below invite even class restricted, isnt this where teams are supposed to form that will be the next invite teams? oh wait nevermind, restriction-forced offclass teams are the lifeblood of tf2 and will surely stick together and better the game with extra competition! i

if i was a top adv/low invite combat class player in that situation i would be so fucking pissed if RGL forced me to switch class just because i couldn't find an invite team on that class

at the very least be consistent about it but given admins have been so awful about it thus far i feel like it's not even worth it beyond like top4 invite players sandbagging on their mains

i dont understand the net zero argument like even if the energy used for bitcoin was all renewable that energy could have been used for any number of actually useful things rather than proof of work ad infinitum

also haha elon no like bitcoin anymore bcus environment, if only we invested in bitcoin as a game then our tf2 major could be randomly cancelled for an even stupider reason than online LAN computers or samiface defending rapists

even if you arbitrarily exclude badlands/granary off some low-turnout post-season poll from a year ago at least do the other maps justice

isnt he like a 16 year old kid or something i dont think there's much rhyme or reason to his decisions within tf2 given he decided to cheat and then come back and cheat again after he was unbanned lol

also wait why the fuck are you keeping villa for s6 if the new one isnt received well

JUST HAVE A FUCKING VOTE AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE WANT!!!!!!!!

it isnt that hard dude even with your stupid restriction of no old maps, just let people decide: clearcut, villa, newmap

yall need to hire a statistician or something cause whoever is looking at these numbers and thinking 'yea, 40% voted no 3rd koth map, 37% voted yes 3rd koth, 20% voted no opinion, that means WITHOUT A DOUBT that people would rather have villa than clearcut' needs to be immediately fired lmfao

isnt dubthink like an open medic from ten years ago why are u running the league deciding what maps everyone gets to play lol (and why did none of this get posted until right now, you should've made that post weeks ago and let people respond and maybe VOTE on what they wanted???)

remove splash bugs and nuke all stairs out of existence

They definitely had invite polls in ESEA and they'd always figure shit out before the season start and not super last minute like this, but they didn't do any tournaments (polls are just a popularity contest so better to do it this way for sure)

when is the invite qualifier even going to happen and why is it not just being done instead of this stupid new map cup lol that seems pretty important to get figured out as registration deadlines are kinda over so if your team doesn't make invite and ends up dying you're just screwed basically (didn't esea figure this stuff out way beforehand I don't remember it being such a scramble)

okay boys the papers done add UP

Who the fuck actually makes the decisions at RGL and why is there no transparency/accountability? The season hasn't started yet just add back in clearcut and get rid of these abortion maps jfc, it's not too late to reverse this stupid decision

I tweeted at them and the guy running the acct was like "i normally don't browse tftv" and then when I linked this thread they said "Timing of the cup wasn't intentioned to be so close to the season, it just happened that way. I'm personally disappointed with the removal of clearcut for the season (I prefer Clearcut and Bagel over product myself) but it will be back next season! -QQ"

SHOWSTOPPER legacy or RITO

im a grad student bro i have negative free time (and a paper to submit by tomorrow night)

okay i thought 'mid day pugs' meant like noon but yea wtf why are pugs dead in the afternoon-evening don't people pug to warm up for scrims?

makes sense if people left pugchamp for inhosues tho cause that shit always goes mad late for some reason, but it's harder to start early usually cause someone has to deliberately 'start' them vs pugchamp where ppl just add up and if there's enough there's enough

NEET pugs sounds like a great idea
