Let's try to analyze together some unused Valve maps (and maybe some unknown community maps) and find the problems they have and how we could solve them.
I'd like to start from coldfront/wormfront/warmerfront.

At a first sight i see a veeeeery long map that lacks of a real choke points between 2nd and 3rd.
While the middle point is quite perfect, i think the second one is the real problem. That's why i'd probably move it on the outside steel bridge making it more difficult to reach from mid adding chockes with some kind of building in the middle (like gully).

Last point shouldn't be much a problem; maybe it is a lil bit large and with a low roof...

That's a quick draft i made (maybe it's too much ambitious with that flip of half of the map...)

What do you think? Would it be enough? Is it a too drastic solution?
Let's keep alive this discussion!

What if TF2 leagues (such as ETF2L or ESEA) or even just the 6s community incentive map makers from the whole and bigger tf2 pub community -particulary from TF2Maps.net- to make maps that fit in the 6s style with prizes & awards if their creations are played a certain amount of times in big leagues (2 times?).

Would be cool to have some sort of support for the creators after a certain map is getting played a lot such as an unofficial map stamp support.

Otherwise we can announce a contest on TF2Maps.net and see what comes out, maybe helping them giving some sort of drafts to use or just an early project to start with like they did with Art Pass Contest in the far 2010.

Sorry if you find this thread quite unnecessary, but I feel the need of something different that gives 6s some breath of fresh air not only with more permissive whitelists or new leagues.

The discussion is now open

Is it possible to collect all the photos shot during this recent LAN into one single gallery like you did with GXL LAN 2014?

I think we can start gathering the "unofficial" photos not shot by tagg & uberchain in this thread.

Without a production team like this probably i would have enjoyed this LAN half of what it was!
WE LOVE YOU ALL! The effort you put into being a real e-sport production is extraordinary!

No merits to medics like Shade (who managed to escape so many times from difficult situation, saving tons and tons of round) or KnOxXx (who also died a few times and managed to bring [R] to the LBF even after terrible defeats just a few hours before)?

P.S. I'm quite disappointed i can't vote to give those 500$ to the production crew, the real MVTeam of i55 that arrived at the lan and put up a fantastic work. Unlike the teams they didn't even reach the goal of the fundraising.

That quite another question mark... from what he said in a sideshow's video he couldn't even touch tf2 at i55 or he'd have been fired from his work in the LoL team, so i guess only time is gonna answer us...

Well if he isn't going to play with 32erz he'd be a good pick

The recent EU roamers that are eligible for a team of that caliber (Mike excluded) are:
zappis, starkie, zebbosai, tek, zoob and maybe shadowburn (but in my opinion he isn't playing a mind game yet, and that's what it's needed to beat 4G; that's why i think [R] put up a better show on LBF rather than nR in the UBF: they beat and tied with strategies and counter-strategies and not with extraordinary big -and unfortunatly- unique plays).
Maybe it's just me but I can't see here any roamer you can count on almost every time to put up a good performance yet, but you know... i58 is still far and if a team of Epsilon level start practicing immidiatly it's absolutly possible to forge one of the above-mentioned roaming soldiers.
Finally I really hope 32erz team isn't a joke team as it seems to me because it would be a fantastic opponent to fight and practice against, like broder were in 2012/13!

What's better in your opinion?
-Zebbosai(roamer)&Mike(pocket)
-Tek & Zebbosai
-Tek(pocket) & Mike(roamer)
-Tek(roamer) & Mike (pocekt)

Personally I think Mike has an absolute synergy with KnOxXx making a combo that is quite at the same level of b4nny & Shade, and since a solid combo of which members know each other really well is the cornerstone of a good team that would be a good start for a team capable of everything..

More like i43 Lan Trilogy?

I see some similarities between these two awesome and handsome guys:

Let's hope for the swedish guy that at the end of the day he's changed his path!

I don't understand... is this gonna be played today at midnight (CEST) or tomorrow morning?

From what i heard they're reinstalling game server hosting machines...

I guess this project has been abandoned, isn it?
