You could completely have avoided the clash with ESA rewind by making this a single elim bracket just like every other HL playoff. Every single winter season i've been complaining that the post season extends FAR too long, for fuck's sake it's been a month and a half since the last match of the main season was played! So your solution is to make the season even longer, make the playoffs clash with the rewind lan, and make this decision AFTER the main season had fucking ended so you can't even plan around it? Not sure how the fuck i'm supposed to help avoiding the issue here, if you are so insistant on making bad decisions in the last minute. It's like playoffs just came around and your reaction was "oops, didn't think of this, what do we do now?".

The sickness I got from rewind is a giant void in my heart </3

Yeah, I should have unbooked my LAN trip to the US and rescheduled my exams so I could play the highlander playoffs which dates and format were decided AFTER THE FUCKING SEASON HAD ENDED

Finally got back home after a rather painful 26 hour trip. I always intend to post in these threads but it's hard to find the words of gratitude sometimes, because I am a man of few words. However, this time I feel like I really need to write something as this was a very special event for me personally.

Thanks to Esports Arena and its staff for hosting, adminning and producing this event! Nobody would have been there without you!

I'd like to thank the Se7en squad and its entourage for showing and making me not the only European player at this LAN. I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys, drinking, eating breakfast and whatnot. I apologise for smashing Raymon's headset during the bootcamp!

Thanks to my team: saam, bear, bo4r, shiki and marmaloo. Despite having almost no chemistry, no practice and it being my roamer debut, we still made it and took the gold medal in the open tournament.

Thanks to AMS, alle and Bren for being good roommates. Thanks for booking ubers when I couldn't get my uber app working. The trip to Hollywood with AMS and alle was really fun, even though I got really badly chafed from the shoes I bought and I couldn't walk at the end.

Thank you Dashner and Uberchain for taking the time to come here to produce their documentary. I am really looking forward to see the results. Thanks for all the moments we shared, it was really enjoyable to hang with you guys and I will miss you guys the most! Hopefully we will meet again some day! Also thanks to Uberchain for taking my new Twitter profile picture, and giving me chopsticks when I didn't have anything to eat my noodles with.

Thank you Jasbutts for helping me take care of myself when I was more than slightly inebriated, and thanks for booking the uber back to the airport when I was the only one left at the motel.

Thanks to all the people I hanged out with during LAN, and everyone who came up to me and had a chat with me. You know who you are. The TF2 community has a lot of lovely people and will always have a special place in my heart. I've been to a lot of events and I feel like the community around the events is awesome every single time, and I always miss a ton of people after leaving.

Please lets keep making these events happen! They are always amazing experiences for almost everyone involved, and to people who haven't been to LAN yet, please take the opportunity to go to one if it shows up. I highly recommend them.

Finally, thanks Dreamboat for the GIANT hug.

P.S. Words can not really describe how grateful I am to have attended this LAN, but this is a solid attempt.

I got banned from the lethalzone server back in 2012 for misusing the report function when i reported a player using manthreads in endif.

I was thoroughly disappointed by this meeting. Lack of structure, unproportional representation, little meaningful discussion and most importantly a lack of formality. This meeting has so many flaws that it should be viewed as illegitimate and the results should be ignored. Do it correctly next time.

Your therapist's advice is to take xanax for the rest of your life and not deal with your problems? That sounds like the opposite of therapy.

Literally the opposite of what you should be doing. Xanax is a temporary solution, and running away from your thoughts (which you can't really do anyway) reinforces the anxiety surrounding the unwelcome thoughts.

This is the correct answer

It's sad that needles have little to no use, but banning the crossbow would be a mistake as it would lower the skill ceiling of medic and also make him more boring to play.
