i'd be wary of picking anyone up from this team I don't think 5 people have ever turned the best team in IM into a team that dies midseason

did you just say gangers instead of gangsters

you need to reevaluate your life

CATFACE EleGiggle WAS EleGiggle THE EleGiggle PROBLEM EleGiggle

What the fuck do you want the forums to be then? Should the IM/ Open happenings thread just be people saying GG to each other so no one feels excluded? It's not like there isn't actual conversation happening it's just also people fucking around. If remove half of the posts from the website how does that make the community any better?

Damn. what a great idea. I can't believe no one has though of this

dibs on november

the only two people mentioned that aren't still around are lange, who quite clearly explained why he would be leaving and would still be a great person for thorin to talk to, and cbear who I'm not quite sure about why he left but he still sticks around for toth. also neither of them mentioned themselves it was someone else saying to contact them so what the actual fuck are you talking about

dashner didn't leave the tf2 community he's still active with helping new people to start producing

"and that was the 4th time I was cut from an undefeated team 4 weeks into the season"

Yeah but there are new players are coming in, there's not as many but that situation is not nearly as bad. To be honest I don't even know what you mean with people being toxic to new players idk maybe there's a problem in mixchamp with it but in pugchamp there are plenty of players that came in and played a shit ton of pugs and turned that into ending up on good teams (marmaloo, sandblast, pops to name a few) for the most part as long as your attitude isn't shit and you have some clue what you're doing it's fine.

Barrier to entry is NOT the biggest problem right now, it's people not wanting to move up divisions and risk losing. Every season there are 16 open teams moved up, enough to fill the division just with move ups, and yet every season in recent memory there has almost not been enough to keep IM alive. This season Invite almost died, it took a team with a cheater and a team who finished 8th in IM basically getting forced in to save the division and that still only got 8 teams, the first time invite has had 8 teams in like 3 or 4 years.

Open can exist with only 30 teams. It's not ideal at all and super shitty but we're 20 teams over how many we absolutely need. IM is at exactly the lowest number of teams possible for it to work and Invite is technically one team under the minimum needed to work. That's a way bigger problem than getting new players in.

ya ur right if we get a 300k tourney i would just be LIVID

this is my favorite overwatch game mode :D
