If anyone is in need of an ESEA Premium code last minute, please reach out to me as ESL give me two free premium codes every month.

Sorry, what?

We had discussed a replacement league, before ESEA even announced it. Due to unforseen reasons, the managing team at HQ made the decision to not go ahead with it. I tried where possible to find a way where it worked but we had agreed it was for the best.

I didn't want to comment on this thread but that's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard.

I regret not trying harder for the ESL league, we wouldn't have had to deal with this mess if it happened.

Hey Potch, I can tell you for a fact there are many avenues that are open for volunteers at the moment, especially with the fact we're in the middle of a league migration for the NA region.

What would you be interested in doing? Possible things could be league/tournament administrating, casting, producing or writing!

Ryan,

Your work within the TF2 and production community has helped many develop their roots in casting and other areas of esports. You're a great friend to me and many others and I hope that you continue your path towards the professional production industry.

There won't be any localization file updates cause they don't have any medals to translate...

I brought this issue up last year in a private TF2 leagues and services discord (guardians), it was only a matter of time before Valve put their foot down. I strongly suggest anyone planning to run a small sized tournament reconsider their options. Medals were a privilege, not a right.

The last 16 months have seen a massive increase in medals coming into the game, leaving less time for developers to work on the actual game. Rarely are medals 100% ready for release and cause absolute havoc for Eric and others.

Hello all,

I sent in the results to our team. We discussed the results with other colleagues, and have come to the conclusion that ESL will not be running a league for TF2.

We think it's best we don't start a league as it's unlikely we will have enough teams to play / people won't take it seriously.

I've seen the other third-party league's proposals, and I can see some great ideas popping up. I hope people will continue to play competitive TF2 in NA regardless of the discontinuation of ESEA.

If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to contact the team on the official ESL TF2 Discord: http://discord.gg/ESLTF2

Over here in Australia, we are very close to finishing a bot that will do these things. I'm sure we'd be happy to release it publicly.

features our bot currently has (or almost finished):
- Automatic booking / exec of servers (sourced from Qixalite in AU but can easily be changed to serveme etc)
- Automatic announcement to multiple servers if needed
- Option for PugChamp style team selection or medic in-game picking
- Automatic voice channel dragging for players

ozfortress is a different case and I'm more than happy to have a conversation in private with them when they wish. But please stop this shitfighting instead of talking behind each other's backs like fucking children.

It's so irrelevant to this thread as well.

Alex, what are you trying to do here? I really just don’t get it. You’ve been super uninvolved with me and the majority of the TF2 scene for ages and now you come back on a TFTV post and try to call me out on shit you don’t understand or have insight into.

Ever since I came into the TF2 scene and got involved with TFTV you’ve had this massive hate boner for me, more so than anyone else I’ve ever met. Since 2016 you’ve been trying to get me kicked out of anything to do with TFTV, even just recently in April when you tried publicly in the TFTV discord to get me banned, yet, once again you failed, because like I said, you’re the only one in the TF2 scene who has this deep hatred for me.

I just don’t get it. It’s been 3 years and you still chase me around trying to bat me with a floppy newspaper because you don’t like me. You even went as far to tweet @ me accusing me of blackmailing you, which was utterly ridiculous (maybe that’s why you deleted said tweet?). Just leave me alone dude, I understand I’ve done wrong in the past in production, but I’m trying to do better here, hence working with my contacts in ESL to promote TF2, yet you still try to drag me down.

It’s just getting sad at this point, end your solo hate crusade against me for god's sake cause this is child's play.
