why did you mention highlander before 6v6 in the title? honestly as a community i dont think we should stand for this :/

yak made the astute observation that since all games have been scheduled on the same day at the same time you could reasonably swap some matches around to make the bracket much fairer and not delay the season start any more.

at the moment you've got the very dumb situation where the only 2 teams in the bracket who were alive last season have to win 2 matches in a row (no losses) to qualify while the 4 (pretty arbitrarily chosen) teams in the top bracket get literally 3 chances to win a single game

does it matter which one that is? you can get a plus crosshair pretty easily in both. vtfs are cool cause you can have them per-weapon and they're easier to align, hud crosshairs can have animations

jesus what even is the hate here AFTER it's been cleared up that this isn't the essentials lan

who cares if some other people who play the same game with each other want to have their own lan/meetup. it's barely a detriment to the potential of 6s lans

oh heck

^thats what the confusion/hate is about. The lan Stinson announced seems more of a replacement for Deutschlan than any 6s lan, both can exist while people still play highlander and like each other

god bless we can share hitsounds again

he's right mostly but not everything that's perfectly balanced for comp works well for pubs (lack of counterplay etc). even in league they balance mainly for plat or something unless worlds is coming up soon, rather than balancing around the top level all year round

has he learnt to airstrafe yet

they haven't changed shit, unless you want pregame recorded you need to do it manually

and i think prec still works fine, you just cant play casual/comp with it (it would crash comp, and then they forced it off for casual too). it doesn't auto-record with the new ready system though (per player rather than per team)

IS THAT RC9 OR 10 BECAUSE THAT BUG WAS FIXED IN RC10 APPARENTLY

jetpack was unbanned in the first post. base jumper and bonk are still dumb/borked. gas passer seems weird and i'd like to see some reasoning too, not that anyone would really miss it

looks to be a hackathon/hacking contest (not developing actual cheats) with a tf2 game to help score/attract viewers or something. pretty cool

mid actually feels kinda nicer with that extra space there, though the balcony looks really dumb now

the 2nd changes feel unnecessary, 2nd was already kinda equally hard to push and from both ends, now it just feels like the 2nd-last stalemates will last forever. all the ways out are either shutters (albeit it's hard to trap both at once) or VERY spammable
