The positive reactions are pretty encouraging, thanks guys. I should mention the goal of this project is to be finished by the next GXL, but we aren't sure about that happening or not.

I'm currently building up a team of people to help out with this project. Feel free to add me if you have a lot of free time over the next 3-4 weeks. The first stage of this project is just data mining through a bunch of archived content. Looking for people willing to help timeline the EU, OZ, and AsiaFortress scenes. Also looking for a few other things. If you have a talent in A/V that you'd like to bring to the table, pm on tftv.

shitpost response one-liners with kevinispwn

• if you're not trolling then i'm sorry about whatever disease you have, op
  
• you probably spent more time writing that post than ever playing/ watching competitive tf2
  
• pyroclass is devil
  
• you'd have issues with these weapons if you knew how to play the game
  
• the meta is less stagnant than the fluid that is accumulating in your head
  
• to the dumpster we go

tf2 doesnt need to change to stay "alive" or whatever. esea is huge this season despite it being winter, when numbers are typically much lower. we keep the meta the way it is because it's fun and it what we like.

i mean i wasn't surprised when it happened but like who actually does that?

I'm signed up for it to have some fun and to further develop my opinion on the format. I don't actively hate the format like many people in the community, but I do think 6s and highlander are much better. I totally dig how you made an account just to call me out though.

I don't want to start anything, I just want to play video games.

Edit: also I haven't seen a map list anywhere. Has that been decided and I've just missed it? Or will it be announced soon?

Thanks for hosting a tournament! This forum is mainly a 6v6 thing but it's good to see people sponsoring the game regardless of format.

Not many people from these forums will sign up for this because (honestly) A:R in it's current form is pretty bad. This is a format that's probably good for your community to play in but the vast majority of actually competitive players really hate arena respawn.

When will prizes be announced?

They do this for lans and stuff to. It really doesn't mean anything, barely anyone knows that's a thing.

That may not be your intent, but to quote PBL Gizmo from a mumble conversation we had

I don't know if this is something I was supposed to share or if it was more than an off-hand comment but honestly I don't really care at this point.

The goal of pbl is to make a profit off this community. I would be totally okay with that if they weren't willing to destroy the community in order to do that, but they are. They don't care about this community any more than they need to in order to make a profit in the long run, and like I said that would be fine if they weren't willing to get rid of the current community. But they are. Sorry but that needed to be shared.

I really do hope you manage to get this working for you though extine. It would be great if you could do tf2 full time, and people like Dashner definitely deserve a paycheck every now and again. I am just sharing the other side of the viewpoint in hopes that you better understand where we're coming from.

I didn't say it was why tf2 isn't an esport. But the things this community has accomplished are seriously impressive when you take that detail into account, so it's one I feel should be included.

"Beyond the Hats" is a tf2 documentary I started working on a few weeks ago. I've made a considerable amount of progress in the process of time-lining the feats of the community, and I decided I'm confident enough to post this teaser trailer for the doc. Enjoy!

If you've been around forever, feel free to add me. I'm looking for a lot more info about the first few years of the game.
