BaBsMore LANs would be great for TF2 as a whole, however, we would need more people to step up and take it seriously. If not then it will just be some version of Froyo rolling others. A lot of pros have already moved on which means for TF2 to survive professionally more people have to put in the time and effort to make it to the "Invite" level.
Lets be honest here, how many teams without the name Ronin or Froyo have an actual chance at winning ESEA Invite (taking nothing away from any other invite team but I mean come on lets be realistic), more or less a LAN. I don't see a lot of teams from other countries spending the time and money to come to the USA if the competition is mediocre at best.
there were 2 eu teams with the possibility of wining iseries, there has only even been 2 and usually only 1
I'm not exactly sure how this season will turn out but you're looking at 3 teams teams with the possibility of wining and then 2 teams that aren't that far off
