"let mirelin kill him so he gets uber"

worked pretty well i reckon

They're gonna taste great.

Hallow has a point honestly. I dunno about prem, but I have absolutely no fucking idea what that team is doing in div2.

Well there games normally start immediately after PCWs (save for a 20 minute break or something).

It's not hard to get into the "prem circle jerk". We dblmix 4 or 5 nights a week and are constantly looking for more people to get involved (i'm not joking, after 2-3 maps we literally sit for 20 minutes ready to accept ANYONE that wants to play tf2 so we can get another game started), the only requirement for which is be vaguely decent/not awful and not a cunt.

Am I the only one who doesn't think it's that bad? Bottom of prem is always shit compared to the top anyway, the fact it's slightly more shit than usual isn't actually going to have a significant impact on how interesting prem is to watch. If you look at logs you'll see there's actually decent games going on between a soon to be established top 3 with the potential to expand to a top 4, and that's pretty much the way it's always been. Do you even remember who was in the bottom of prem when it was epsi/bro/cc/skidmark in the top 4? It's definitely not as strong as this time last year, but that was truly the fucking golden age of EU TF2 the like of which has never been seen before nor will be seen after. It's what all seasons will be compared to, but falling short isn't the sign that the apocalypse is here. 7 teams sucks but hopefully there'll still be an 8th, but if not we can just pretend that there was an extra russian team that folded before things got started and it's like 90% of other prem seasons, right?

The only reason div1 looks that bad is because you don't recognise the same cornerstones of mediocrity (did i stutter, autobots, whatever CXs team was called, etc) you've seen the past 3 seasons who's existance in this game was only valuable insofar as it brought familiarity to division 1. We've turned a corner where there are now legitimate, passionate teams filling these spots with the potential to benefit and improve from the experience playing against ex prem players in division 1. It's not gonna be a walk in the park for lego, I guarantee phase + cplay will be more interesting to watch than the same regurgitated lineups that have plagued div1 the last year or so.

HOTELS?

Thanks for the heads up. Mines fine but decided to backup everything on there as I realised if mine got taken down it'd literally all be gone.

I'm available.

Is this even any faster? Really doesn't look it. Sure looks slick though.

How is this a matter of "it's your turn". I really can't find a lot of information on GXL, but what I can does nothing to suggest it's in any way worth spending 5000+ dollars on. Maybe i52 isn't either, but if one of them is then it's definitely the latter.

Also it's kind of a joke to say "we can't fund a team to i52 cause now we have our own lan". The funding for Americans to come to i46/49 came from Europeans as well as Americans; Europeans who also had broder, punchline, and other top teams to fund to i46/i49, as well as the 300 or so attendees that had to pay for themselves - many of which attended from overseas.

If no American team wants to go then it's a different matter and everything I'm saying should be completely ignored, but given GXL isn't even confirmed to be anything special yet (based on the post on this thread, like I said info seems scarce) I really don't see how it's a contest. Granted there is more time until GXL, but if it's a bust it may be too late to salvage something for i52 by the time you find out.

Edit: Just read there is no PC rental at GXL. Really don't see how this is going to be possible.

Is it time yet?

Good players still play, good games still happen at the top (fuck season 16). That's enough for most people.

Half of TLR is considering quitting, byte is done so it's 2/6. Even if what you described happened (it wouldn't in a million years), those teams would simply fight it out for 2nd place which is pretty dire for anyone interested in watching.
