gonna listen to this today. A youtube video would be pretty cool IMO, or perhaps just a straight podcast download with the audio. I use Podomatic for some sports podcasts I do, and they're really good about giving a ton of ways to listen/embed/whatever. Even puts your stuff on iTunes if that's what people are into.

i got one right o:

throw enough shit at a wall and eventually it'll stick i guess

Also, tonight's matches:

AG > UP 5-4
LH > Yomies 5-3
Meat > QF 5-4

i dont feel good about any of those

also i am officially not qualified to be playing this video game at a playoff level thank god UP has strong backs to carry shitties like me and key

thanks for a fun match, gucci :)

That very well may be true, but it doesn't change my stance. CEVO offers me nothing that ESEA does not. There are bad business practices everywhere in the world. It doesn't bother me that much that ESEA follows some of those same practices. I try to look at where my money goes in terms of how it will benefit me, not how it will benefit the company, because there aren't many businesses in America that are really "good", so looking at the negatives of those companies just gets depressing.

When CEVO can offer me something that ESEA cannot, that's when I'll make the switch. Until then, I'll put my dollars where I feel I can get the most return. Others may have a different stance on it, and they are certainly entitled to their views.

I played in the season 1 reboot of CEVO, and I've followed season 2. It's not very pretty. I'm not willing to start giving my money to them just because of a bunch of big promises. Like atmo just said, talk is cheap, and it works both ways. I'll keep paying for ESEA because I know what I'm getting. I'll pay for CEVO when I know that I'm not going to have 8 out of every 10 matches be a ffw. If there are other people out there who are willing to take the risk, that's great, and I hope as much as anyone that CEVO succeeds and is a great alternative for TF2, but it's not a leap that I personally am willing to make yet.

Matches tonight:

Meat > Flash 5-3
AG > Remains 5-3
QF > Buds 5-4
gucci > UP 5-1

verify game cache or something?

I can't think of a real issue that would cause this for some people but verifying does wonders for me when I get weird errors

yeah, this seems to be a huge percentage of the population who is vocal about switching to CEVO. Either players who have never played in ESEA before or players who are not currently on a team.

I'm going to continue to play in ESEA because after some thought I'd rather stay in ESEA a season too long than jump to CEVO a season too early. If after this season it seems like CEVO is the better league, I'll consider making the switch. For now, I know what I'm getting with ESEA, and I'm ok paying the fees that they charge for a truly competitive league.

As for the "lpkane is a dick" argument: I don't like the CEOs of most companies that I buy things from. I believe it takes a special kind of asshole to be successful in business, and lpkane is no different. As long as I'm not interacting with him on a personal level and instead get to work with people like Killing and Kalkin (all of my interactions with both of them have been positive. I guess they have negative reputations out there in the community, but until I see it personally, I'm cool with them) then I'm fine giving my business to ESEA.

I've always enjoyed playing against Deep, honestly. I go into scrims against those guys knowing that they're gonna do some weird stuff, and frankly that's fine. Getting flustered about someone spamming binds (I've never seen Deep do this in the dozens of scrims I've played against him over the last 3 seasons, btw) or messing around with unlocks seems pretty silly.

The truth is that Deep is a skilled and creative roamer who tries a lot of outside-the-box tactics. If you're a super serious team who can't stand to try new things, maybe he's not the guy for you. Otherwise, I'd say he can easily compete at a high-open or IM level on roamer. He will fill the 'distraction roamer' role very admirably. His sniper is also very strong.

Good luck, Deep.

There was definitely a viewership boost last night. Mangachu was around 300 viewers (granted, he was apparently doing some sort of giveaway at the time?) and there were 3-4 other streams up close to 100 iirc.
