also just out of curiosity

if you're in prem/invite or around that level please don't submit a response

There is only five teams signed up for the NA tournament! Please sign up!
Even if you do get matched up against an invite/prem team it's an excellent opportunity to see how these players play in game and you might be able to get a mentor out of it if you asked

And yes I do understand how terrible it is to get rolled 5-0 in 10 minutes first round
however there is a chance that won't happen if enough teams don't sign up
I'm not asking you to go out of your way to play but if you're available it's not that hard to get6 and play, worst case scenario you waste 20 minutes getting rolled, which sucks yes but there's a chance that won't happen and you can still take stuff away from it.

My biggest complaint with these tournaments is that there is no lower bracket, it would case the lower level teams to be more likely to play eachother and it would be more fair as to who gets the prize money as both times I've played in these my team has been eliminated by some LAN level pugscrim early on when we could have possibly come second

it's been explained multiple times that producing an app would be a waste of time and effort as producing a mobile website would be just as effective and take much less time and not many people would us the app

however no one has volunteered to make a mobile website so until somebody does we're stuck with what we got

reduce drop timer from 30 => 12 seconds (just a little bit longer than an uber, so a sack/drop/pickup play would have to be fast)
when a medigun is dropped it's % is 1/3 (maybe 3/8 or somewhere in that ballpark) of it's previous charge
weapons can only be dropped twice

solves all problems

yo showstopper my team is down to pound yours at any time
how bout tomorrow?

FTFY

that's like $3 a month blank you could do better

more action =/= better gameplay

you don't make it to the top of invite without spending several thousand hours practicing your DM
and the only people from your stock list that actually have noticeably better DM than your original list are mike and platinum and MAYBE kaptain and banny

some people made the switch to original and kept with it, some switched back and some never switched
it really is that simple
as for why there is more people who switched in NA, it's simply because some people started a trend and stuck with it and the rest followed on later

EU never really had that trend starter

fucking beast

at least cloudmaker won't be in it

If the medigun pickup is not changed before next season, it should probably be banned for the sake of gameplay
like bloodsire pointed out there is a lot of potential for the mechanic to be cool but currently it is heavily flawed and really removes more than it adds.

however it's pretty obvious why it's a bad idea to work against things valve is implementing if they are really trying to add mm / help the comp community etc
