it really do be like that sometimes

You do realize getting onto ESL Play means nothing, right? Practically every game under the sun besides TF2 is on the platform and most of them see a few cups per month but not much.

If you're expecting prize pools, you're going to be disappointed unless a bunch of you want to fork out some cash for ESL Premium and give them some incentive to put some money forward. If TF2 gets on ESL Play, there will be some cups, but there will be almost no money unless they do an opening cup like FACEIT did with a small prize pool.

While it might sound interesting to have TF2 on ESL Play (by the way, saying that putting TF2 on ESL Play will have "the world's largest esports company 'supporting' TF2" is just ridiculous and it means nothing) there's not much it offers, as putting a game on a platform is much different from actually supporting the game's scene.

The last time this was brought up, people gained some interest, but the lack of actual traction showed that nobody really wanted it; they just wanted to see a new platform, even though they weren't going to use it. And people won't use it. They'll use it, see that there is some minor feature that an independent platform like match.tf has and quit using it. Or, they'll just grow tired and continue playing pugs normally.

Also...

That's not how that works. Please stop misleading people with your blind optimism, Mitch.

Yes, Sinshine was released in the SF'15 update and Sunshine was later added in the MYM update (2016-07-07)

Every year, TOTH always puts up a great wholesome production and this year is no different. Shoutouts to all the people who worked on the event for the whole weekend — especially those that had to deal with production.

there are stories that still need to be told

I really have no fucking idea what I'm doing with my life currently. There was a time when I did fairly well in school and I was super dedicated to TF2, playing day in and day out and constantly following the competitive scene in North America and abroad, browsing the TFTV forums every day, and being happy with myself. But more and more recently, I haven't enjoyed any of it. I've stopped playing TF2 entirely and reading the teamfortress.tv forums just sours my mood, seeing both how Valve's neglect has ruined a great game and how the community perpetually remains toxic.

Outside of teamfortress.tv and some internet friends, I am socially dead. I have no friends that I have ever seen in the flesh and I often spend each day talking to nobody and just going through my day, only speaking to people when I'm required to or when I'm upset about anything. I'm ugly as fuck and probably annoying and I'm 100% sure if I attempted to initiate a discussion with anyone, it would do nothing but to make other people uncomfortable and just make myself look like an asshole.

But social life doesn't matter, it'll all pass later right??? Well, I don't even know what I'm going to be doing because I'm a worthless piece of shit with nothing of value. I have no actual skills or talents and I have nothing that makes me stand out from other people. My grades are meh and ultimately I'll never achieve the dream job that I've wanted since I was a kid because I have absolutely none of the talents required to even be proficient in it.

I suppose I should've structured this or something, but honestly it might just be my sleep deprivation talking. I just miss the days when I used to love tf2 and I used to have optimism. :(

Were the prizes given out in USD, or are those converted from the Ruble to the Dollar? If the latter, the exact ruble amount would be great :)
