if you play a less dm-oriented class (pyro/ medic/ spy/ etc) you could maybe get away with it just to learn the ropes of hl as a format.

if it was a person going to literally any other kind of convention they wouldnt feel compelled to post about it JUST SAYIN

1) why
2) yes

Spire is there, you just have to get it at the right angle as to avoid the fence. You can see an example of this in the ESEA S18 lan intro.

You should still be able to load up badlands by loading the arena or koth version. The only difference is some fencing at second and that last isn't there.

One season of open is the requirement unless we are desperate, in which case the admins can make executive decisions. We had an abundance of coaches last week so we didn't need to worry about it.

@smobo did you tell an admin? because we deal with people like that if we get told that it's happening.

alosec wasn't online, sorry. whoever is the current drafting admin should be able to get you the pass for that channel.

You can sit in the coaches lounge until a coach is needed, you don't have to deal with the drafting channel. If you don't have a lot of time you can talk to an admin that is drafting and he'll get you in as soon as there are enough to draft.

I was busy with other stuff last night so I'm not sure what was going on with anything in particular, but I can tell you that one of four things was probably happening

a) there were a lot of mixes going and not enough admins to keep drafting
b) there were not enough newbies to draft another
c) there was only one coach available
d) you weren't in the right channel

So there has been a huge issue with coaches in newbie mixes lately. It's the opposite of welcoming for new players to have their first competitive experience be "yo hold up for 20 minutes while we get coaches".

If you have 45 minutes this evening, please come coach newbie mixes. I'm going to bump this thread whenever we need coaches.

They (last time I checked) use xsplit with flash graphics.

please don't stream 1080p. nothing that you have access to will stream 1080p60fps nice enough to where it will be better than 720p60fps. unless you have some evl supercomputer that i'm unaware of.

That depends on your needs. If you're primarily focused on the game working well over the steam, NVENC is very good. I recommend trying it to see if it works well for you.

At the same bitrate, it's comparable to a very fast or lower x264 encoding.
