Everyone, do not make the same mistakes this community has done in the past.

When CEVO could have been a decent league for TF2, everyone ignored and didn't support it when it was offering a service when people weren't happy with ESEA. ESEA has had really no reason to support us as we never use their pug system or website for anything other than the league, we have low numbers and low sign ups for the division they spend money to keep us because no one uses their serviced outside of the league.

DO NOT make this mistake with razer arena, They are providing an extremely good Competition Mod and service (FOR FREE!!!) and are offering 100$ every 4 days at this rate, Not to mention Dilusive has done some of the best admin work that this game has seen so far (no joke). this is a great outlet for all levels of competition and we NEED to support this, it would be so so so stupid not too.

PLEASE sign up!!

Trash talk is just competitive nature, it's found in almost every single source of competition and there isn't anything wrong with it, even "personal attacks." Trash talk comes in many forms, but you can't pick and choose what offends you or else that defeats the purpose, if you're gonna get mad about personal trash talk fully knowingly it's just trash talk, than you should be offended by any form of trash talk and you're prolly a pussy.

I've played rugby my whole life, even at a very high competitive and physical level and I have had he nastiest shit said to me by opposing players (even my own teammates sometimes) on a daily basis, sometimes even leading too getting smacked in the mouth or me doing the same the them, but the MOMENT you step off the field and competition is done, that dude walks up to me and says "nice fucking punch, here have a pint on me" no bitching and whining about how much of a cunt I was, that's all left on the field.

And that's how trash talk should be.

okay then

I agree with the double elim, as dilusive has said he's possibly working on it.

Not sure why you felt the need to try and create some drama in this thread though, it's not gonna serve any purpose besides derailing so maybe refrain from doing that here. (That sucks that happened to your team, not defending anyone just don't derail with drama)

Ya its annoying and overpowered tbh. I don't know how much you have been playing recently but I know for my teams perspective and many other teams I talk to about it, when there is a loose cannon in play it very much changes how you have to approach pushes unless you want to just get mulched. Its like Avast said, the weapons utility aspect is good and should be used as a trade off to normal pipes but when its given an obscene amount of damage as well then yes, thats overpowered and not just "annoying".

It may not be completely meta changing but really the only single item to have a significant shift on the meta was when gunboats were introduced.

Agree with that its too random for competitive and the ability to basically 1 shot medics is ridiculous.

I think the biggest problem with it in competitive is that its just a very LOW skill/high reward weapon, most weapons in the game do require good aim etc but Loose cannon you just shoot it straight at a corner and can expect a double donk like 90% of the time and that effect is extremely powerful for how much skill is requires.

gotta start getting your teams signed up! we won't have an ESEA season without more open teams and there is only 8 days left! I've paid for a full UGC team to play and maybe another so you guys should all be paying up to who plan on playing!

logjam is actual garbage

I dont think gran needs to be voted out for that to happen, the eventually replaced viaduct with the pro version without it being voted out

didn't see anyone else post this but the map vote is live for people with premium still

hi there!

really love the way this is organized, great mods and easy to use, really enjoyed playing on this format!

only thing id like to suggest is that if we are playing bo1 maps I think it would be better if it was double elim, maybe im just feeling this way because we lost first round but would be nice to have a chance to play some more games! I think it would also be fine if it was just straight up bo3s for every round!

Other than that, loved everything and had a really good experience with this, will def be playing more! Thanks again!

Im not trying to dampen the mood cause I love all this chat, but unfortunately if there isn't enough open teams to play this season there won't be an Invite division to speak of and its looking pretty grim right now :(

I know its prolly not necessary but if there are people close to Peterborough or inbetween Peterborough and Toronto i'd be more than willing to pick some people up.

I sponsored those teams because I felt they deserve it especially for playing in esea when the league is struggling for teams, and they had a lot of younger players . are you saying everyone deserves donations? Not really sure 100 dollars to sit at your computer doing jack ("streaming") is really deserving of community donation. I think it's just Stupid there are actually people in this thread that think it's difficult to work in Brazil, doesn't really matter the amount and what references are given tbh.

Bring on the circlejerk all you kids want and -frag all the want fact is unless you nut up and give the guy 100$ right now (for doing absolutely nothing) than you really have no grounds to berate me, I think community donation is a great thing for people who actually deserve money but someone just wanting money for a power supply to do nothing is a joke

Maybe you can help me make back the 300 dollars I DONATED into the mad lux teams the past 2 seasons with that kind donation of your avast thank you!!

Just kidding stop acting like you know shit you ignorant twat, can all you people stop acting like Brazil is a third world country or something? Get out of your basements once in a while
