since froyo is still in winners losing the first bo3 knocks them into losers to play ronin again

Milan isn't on the team afaik and I wasn't a fan of playing with him either

The last three seasons were me making teams with people. I initiated both bruiser brigade and saving private im, and I kept aliasing lefty together at the end of s18. I stopped making teams because I was tired of trying to cobble together six players every season just for the team to die

mentor me saam

i don't remember me saying that but most of this happened like two years ago so i don't doubt me saying it

and i still play plenty of tf2 regardless, if i'm not working or doing smash/irl things i'm pretty much always trying to pug or DM or demo review or whatever

every season i try out for a bunch of teams and i never make the cut even though i look back on my play and i don't really see anything wrong or bad about it (most of the time, obviously i have bad tryouts or i get in way over my head and those time i totally don't deserve a spot) a lot of times they just pick up a friend or whatever which i can understand but i just want a season where i can actually get on a team and practice and mesh and shit before the season starts. at this point though it's been so many seasons that i feel like i'm just going to get stuck here no matter how much work i put in or how many tryouts i do.

this probably makes no sense because i'm straight-up rambling at this point

ok knuckles inspired me to make this post

i feel like i'm fucking cursed to kill teams man. i have had ungodly shitty luck with this game.

s17 was my first real season with c+c. that mumble was so toxic, it was basically muma and saam shitting on everyone else constantly. dolphin and rob were like the only people who didn't constantly shittalk, and i took the brunt of it for one reason or another. as far as i can tell muma has grown past it and i forgive him but saam seems like the same petty person he was almost two years ago. i rarely let people get to me like that but it was not a fun season. post-season i get cut for sneaky, who doesn't even end up playing on the team anyway

s18 was with silent kingdom, which was with some of my best friends from gdl. it was fun until about halfway through the season when our pocket left the team which basically killed it because it was impossible to find a pocket halfway through the season and our demo barely wanted to play tf2 at this point because of school (i don't blame him). we ended 10-6 and barely missed playoffs, after this a good chunk of the roster leaves

s19 was the same team again. right before our second match our pocket's computer literally fries itself and we have to find another. we ended up with elliott but since he was a mentally insecure weeb he ended up leaving the team like 3 weeks later and joining and rejoining (we had a complicated relationship). we ended up 8-0 before we got scheduled against the top open teams and started getting rolled pretty hard. we ended up picking up forgets to replace procreative and had a good showing on snakewater before we ended up 8-4 and scheduled against the actual top 2 teams in open at that time. finished 10-6 and missed playoffs again. that entire season was marked with a ton of arguing too, i remember many a moolkey talk trying to keep us from clawing out each others' throats

s20 was my first jump into IM with bruiser brigade. the team was made last-minute to save IM so we didn't have time to mesh much. i loved playing with them but displace left halfway through the season (for reasons i totally agree with and understand) and we have to pull ryugawa out of retirement. we didn't do so well because it was so last-minute and we had a lot of frustrating problems in our game but i enjoyed playing with them at the very least.

s21 i tried out for sparkle gang a good amount of times. they were my friends and i really wanted to play with them, cause they were an actual stable team that had been going for a while now. i did good in my tryouts and shit but i ended up getting baited by june because she wanted to roam. i went to the point of trying out pocket for them too but they ended up picking up p3nguin on pocket for whatever reason (i'm still mad about this). so i ended up on another IM-saving team, this time with kevinispwn. we ended up pulling a medic that literally had no competitive experience outside of UGC into an IM team so that set the trend pretty well. he learned/improved a lot and had a good attitude but it was pretty clear he was not ready for IM. and the team had the same no-mesh last-minute-team problems that bruiser brigade had and we ended up dying after week 6 and playing some embarrassing 5v6 matches to keep the roster alive for next season, a hopefully better team.

s22 that hopefully better team was saving private IM which, as you guessed, saved IM yet again (kevin is your savior). the original roster looked pretty good honestly but emkay started to get burned out pretty quickly and left. after this people started getting more and more frustrated with our play and i was busy dealing with the actual stupidest fucking internet problem in my entire life which i am certain cost us at least two matches in that season. vari ended up going to mustard's team (with smitty's blessing) so we had to pull out cheesymacgyver out of retirement which was fun at least but i can't help like i wasted everyone on that team's time with a useless season since they could all play mid-IM+ easily. the team is continuing and i might play for them again because if we actually have the time to develop a roster we could actually be a pretty good team

so far for s23 i still have that stupid fucking internet problem but i'm moving to a dorm soon so that will be fixed. i'm trying to get a jump on tryouts but there are like no teams forming and most of them i will never even learn about until it's too late to tryout for. i will probably end up playing on another IM-saving team, if IM even exists in this season, and go 5-11 or something because we don't have the time to build up enough chemistry to compete at an IM level.

honestly i should just try making casting a real thing but apparently i'm a godawful caster according to some people and i don't want to sell out for overwatch

/rant

sorry to anyone i name-checked in this thread but this has been brewing in me for a while and i can't censor people out of it

it's depressing as fuck to see people like nursey, ash and muma that i played with in the past surpass me so quickly when i've been putting in all the time and effort i possibly can to get good

this is partially attributable to my last 3 seasons being on last-second "save IM" teams

it's also shitty to be considered bad because you don't have results when your only "real" seasons were s17 and s18, seasons where you had a team that didnt have half its roster buster out or wasnt made 2 days before the season started

shitposting about weebs is just as bad as being a shitposting weeb

you've gone too far, pankey

esports money is stealing away our everyone
