tournaments and seasons are inherently different, I don't see why the map list/weapon bans need to be different either

infinite-6v6, and specifically esea 6v6, has a higher skill level than any ugc league. marxist, the head ugc 6s admin, has accepted this and has (very successfully) tried to turn ugc 6s into a transitional league for newer teams, the "base" that feeds into open
I am certainly glad both leagues can work a little closer together because regardless of whether folks agree with my view on rules or not, we all share the same goal of keeping competitive TF2 alive. UGC has certainly helped supplying new teams to ESEA by providing a free to play atmosphere initially and those who want a more intense pay-to-play model can move to ESEA. It would be nice to see some ESEA teams move over to UGC and help us out as well. Maybe both leagues can benefit from working together.
Inter league consistency is definitely a good thing, as well as the standardization of rule sets. While I do not agree with all the bans, I do acknowledge that ESEA 6s has been around longer and is the "established" way to play 6v6 TF2. Though I still believe (personal opinion) that the class limits and weapon bans have hampered its potential growth over the years. It would be nice if some of the weapons/items which make off classes more viable could be tried in an "experimental" cup or something.
if you truly believe that the two leagues coming together is a good idea, why did you block the efforts to make it so the top 8 ugc 6s teams would get free premium/league fees for the following season of esea

heinI wonder what's more brutal, 1 wrangled sentry in HL, or 2 engy's in 6's (non-wrangler). Such strategies in 6's (especially gravelpit) can open up teams to some pretty radical setups. Hard to prepare against that. med/demo/sold/2 eng/hw is a tough egg to crack on gpit.
2 engis has been banned in 6s for precisely that reason

there's nothing wrong with the most prestigious league having the fewest teams, that's like saying "lol invite only has 8 teams so invite tf2 is dead"

heinmustardoverlordthe ugc head admins are convinced that there's some sort of "circle jerk" here that keeps minusfragging all their posts and hating on them without reading them
in reality the majority of users here have never heard of them before, and it's because the real circlejerk is on the ugc forums, where those same admins have been the main posters for like 10 years, and thus they got used to not being called out every time they made dumb arguments not supported by logic and reason
I dont think I've called this a circlejerk and I'm also not getting minus fragged (cept the one where I insulted sdogg which was childish, this one might though haha). I'm on an esea-im team and rather enjoy 6's. Both HL and 6's have their merit. This has kind of strayed from topic a little. sdogg has a lot of great points that are valid as does mustardoverlord. We've made a lot of changes over the last 4 seasons in the right direction to being competitive. I think wrangler is one huge barrier that might take some time to be breeched. Invite limit was lifted and the vitasaw was banned this season. Those are two things that would be nice to get some focus on us actually listening......but there will sadly always be unhappiness. I apologize its not moving as quickly as needed. But as stated quite a bit, this game setting is currently very heavily built on new players. Some of those new teams really need that extra defense to even hold a point. As marisa posted, it could work to let plat/silver do a vote (or each vote). I'm not opposed to that and its been discussed. We will just give it another season. Bear with us
mustardoverlordin reality the majority of users here have never heard of them before[......]and thus they got used to not being called out every time they made dumb arguments not supported by logic and reason
I'd say I have a pretty good reputation and am fairly well known since I played back in the beta days with a good bit of the people that are still playing. You're generalizing. And maybe you are still new to those forums, but there's not a decision that goes by that its not argued over haha.
But again, we've made strides and hopefully they will be noticed this season.
I should clarify that my post was still 90% directed at infinite, you've at least TRIED to make logical arguments

well, the deletion of the thread might only be evidence of the policy in place, but that policy was set by the same 2-3 idiots that decided the ban in the first place, a group of people who have total autonomy, and could easily keep such a policy simply because they don't like criticism of anything they do
executive privilege brah

SalamancerThe UGC admins have already stated they won't discuss their cheat review process. Based on that policy, it's easy to understand why they would delete your thread.
the only reason they won't discuss their cheat review process is because their cheat review process is basically "infinite thinks someone hacks, bans them"

damn straight you'll never play them if you don't watch them
the invite metagame is just better than anywhere else. sure you could figure out the specific retardation of the open team you're playing and counter it- I do that a lot. however, you also wanna learn how to actually play correctly, how to play proactively and force the other team to adapt to you. if you don't know how to do that you'll always be shit.
