i agree this is annoying but making a plugin to "fix" every feature a few people found annoying would make it a completely different game. with the pub and competitive community in a big enough disconnect this will only distance the two further as approaching comp will not only involve learning a more methodical and completely different style of tf2 but also learning random reworks such as gunboats airblast etc

this is nothing to fix, it's a feature that was changed in the same batch of updates meant to nerf degreaser + axtinguisher pyro (iirc) and is an intentional part of the airblast rework. if you're being juggled by a pyro you can strafe after getting hit with a second airblast and onwards

#1 advice for this is to stop thinking it matters which gun you're on

very true Copper must bring back tf2online

i don't have unlimited funds to extract from people

Yo everyone, a little update; this is the current casters roster. Since we'll try and have a bunch of games casted I will need more (and I am awaiting on a few people's responses), but as of right now this is the baseline :D

maybe true, although NC is only 1 game a week so i'll see if we can avoid clashing with that somehow

When?
In the week of 8th - 14th July, with games being played in the evenings.

Format, gameplay
There will be a group stage and then playoffs, the exact days of each will be known closer to the actual cup once we see how many teams are playing. No games on Friday and Saturday, but expect to play on the other days.
ETF2L map pool, whitelist and ruleset.

Why would I play this??!
If you are good enough to place within the top 3 best teams you will get a prize. The prize pool was carefully crafted and brought into reality by gladiator.tf to ensure each player from the top 3 teams gets a piece of it.
But if you don't finish a hero, you have a chance to die a legend - as the most interesting games will be casted on the essentials.tf twitch channel with their professional production and our carefully picked casters.

View prize pool:

So, can anyone play..?
Yes! This cup is open for any and all skill levels, teams will be split into groups / divisions to ensure everybody is playing at their own skill level.

>>> Sign up your team HERE! <<<
Signups open until July 1st!

Additional notes:
- I will update the thread with signed up teams (don't expect to appear instantly, because I am doing this manually)
- only team leaders will get invited into the discord server - the point of it being contacting each other and the production team
- the dates were decided by talking to top team leaders to ensure maximum overall quality and good games to play and watch
- Gladiator is a service providing premium TF2 trading bots, not a gambling site! And I know the owner personally, this is not a random or unethical sponsor
