Overall my attitude towards the game's impact on me is neutral. I could use my time on much more productive outlets for sure (playing music mostly), but tf2 has been really useful as a tool for me to bide time until I can move away from my unfortunate home situation. As well as that, the friends I have met through it are irreplaceable. I have regrets that aren't really attributable towards playing tf2, but I wont deny that playing the game compounded the problems at hand by a fair amount. In reality the only way to have really solved them would've been for my younger self to have had much more mental fortitude, but if I could go back, choosing to get into the game again would be a tough decision.

I wont really say the game has helped me be better in social situations, in fact I would say my internalization of memes is more of a detriment irl, but I will say that it has helped me realize the importance of first impressions and not being a toxic retard. I think one of the best lessons that competitive tf2 players learn is that built up reputations are really hard to dismantle- mostly due to the playerbase being too small to outrun your reputation. While it might be possible to "reset" your identity by starting fresh with a new IP and account (a real life equivalent would be moving far away and cutting ties I guess) it certainly isn't easy or something one would personally want to do.

5 good players and that one really bad roamer

god fUCKING dammit

To be completely honest you guys were a team I was really looking forward to playing, and it kind of sucks that we won't get to play your full roster.

(dont make me regret saying this by shitposting some more :<)

I feel like its just the trendy thing to farm up-frags by calling rain a bot. Maybe a year ago I would have agreed with that sentiment, but during scrims I had in the preseason against HcW I was genuinely impressed by him.

Also I don't really see the problem with the picture Huck posted. It might be WAY overambitious, but Rain has a genuine drive to improve and I don't see why people should poke fun at that.

Aside from all of that, I don't think anyone really disputes that he has alright aim. So at the very least you don't have to worry about that. If you are even tempted by his offer, I encourage you to give him a chance- he might impress you.

If you are talking about Pont's post, the server was legitimately fucked up because of a (partial?) power outage, and only 3 people had connection to the server. He also wasn't making an excuse either :x

In fact, the server was SO fucked up the results of the match aren't even on esea at the moment.

GG to BBts, I have no clue what happened to the server tho in the 4th round.
4 people on your team and 5 people on our team did a half lag-out kind of thing. I could see everyone moving around- but they were all frozen on their screens. Shit was freaky lol.

I think the worst part about the comments on the video is that the people posting don't realize that clockwork is SIGNIFICANTLY better than them at ow, and much more qualified to give opinions about it competitively, yet continue to ironically call him ignorant. It makes my head hurt to be honest x_x
