plinko being the head admin of 6s is a great change. plinko truly cares about the scene and i think many will come to appreciate him in the head admin role and he's one of the more reasonable and community facing admins from that of the past. Excited to see what comes next

Update on this: We are putting the finishing touches on Part 1 of 3 (Part 3 is kinda half a part tbh). Hoping to upload within the next month.

would you say your PIM is attempting to be similar to that of counter strike's HLTV rating or vlr.gg's valorant player rating?

the advanced-1 and advanced-2 is a bit puzzling. doesn't look like there was a far and above team in any of the divs outside of invite (maybe could argue for nonagon infinity but looking at the games they had on paper, they were beatable in some cases) to make a case for adv-1 and adv-2.

div sizes seemed fine too so not sure how that argument justifies adv-1 and adv-2 in the article. if your issue is div size relative to skill level there's a better solution than this, because i'd argue that this creates a further skill gap even if main in essence is the new intermediate

btw why are we removing upward for steel. it's now 2 pl, 2 a/d, 3 koth. is there something wrong with borneo that makes people not want to play that map

antlers i need producers to cover 6s playoffs alongside me and this is what you’ve been doing

on a serious note i do agree with you, though a lot of the community is all talk and no walk. but i don't think it's all doom and gloom as u make it out to be. Personally tho seeing people come together and try to do stuff like what we did at denver, what 4v4 pass time are doing to enhance their unique take on the game mode, and what the mge.tf crew did for their little mge tournament gives me hope that there is people willing to try to see through w their ambitions. i think we're in a way better spot than we were 2-3 years ago quite frankly

i will say though, speaking on the topic, if we ever lose resin (formerly dr underscore) then the broadcasting scene is fucked because hes the only programmer maintaining the plugins that allow producers to produce tf2 matches and for viewers to see damage numbers in a broadcast. he alone is the reason why the broadcast experience for tf2 has been elevated lol. very few programmers actually working on cool stuff behind the scenes and if we lose him welp its ggs cus idk who else is gonna maintain these plugins

kobe1920 upward directs + quickswitch masterclass vs yumyum

yumyum clutches up while being on the brink of elimination

kobe1920 absolutely destroys send on spire
