#3 RGL S14 Invite Happenings/Discussion in TF2 General Discussion

I rarely ever make complaints but I just wanted to vent about the upcoming qualifiers.

I understand that the 6s admins are mirroring the HL qualifiers which is fine in theory but here is the thing. Default times are 9:30/10:30 weds and 10:30 thurs with the last day to play being saturday. That being said, sixes teams don’t even start scrims until 10 and even 10:30 in some scenarios. S12 qualifiers teams had all week and the sunday following to play their matches. Ample time.

The games are also going to be bo1, meaning that both cast crew and teams, should a game start on time, be potentially waiting 30-45 minutes in the event of a lopsided roll. This was not the case in any of the past qualifiers ran for Invite which were a bo2 each, and none of the games ever went absurdly past time. In a qualifier with more than 4 teams it would be understandable, but 3 bo1s shouldn’t be the only chance to make it into Invite. Highlander qualifiers it was warranted, but that’s factoring in halftimes (mp winlinit 2 koth and payload halves can be VERY long).

I still want to cast this qualifier because I feel obligated to but man. It is just saddening that we are deviating from what the past admins did in the past two qualifiers and not consulting the players either whether the change was warranted.

I won’t talk about the teams that were picked (they’re filing their own grievances) but I will say both the teams and us were expecting an announcement about whether qualifiers were going to 100% happen a little more in advance.

One of my ambitions with this project is not only to cover 6s but also Highlander. This interview is with Melon of the recent HL Invite winners Witness Gaming. NEARLY 4 hours long!

UGC Nostalgia and in depth discussions about what went right and wrong in her career leading up to her first highlander championship included. Maybe you'll want to go on a long journey and put it on audio.

Cross post from G6 Merch Drop Thread:

Random note for Europeans residing in EU or an EFTA State:

The site does calculate VAT but if it is not included on your order, you are required to pay VAT upon arrival (check with your local European/EFTA State office handling VAT related inquiries).

Norway is a unique case where you pay both VAT + a custom fee as the site is not VOEC registered (meaning, if it were VOEC registered, you are exempt from VOEC + custom fees). I reached out to get the ball rolling on this one though.

You can see the insane custom fees that comes with ordering from Norway:

#5 RGL 6s Season 14 - Map Pool, Season Changes, Final in TF2 General Discussion
bearodactylexciting to hear about the 6 week season, what exactly does the "voted in map" mean though, I don't see granary mentioned anywhere else, is it an alternative map you can pick on sultry week or something?

edit: also why has there been a LAN sustainability fee every season for the past few years despite only a single one happening

looks like a lan is happening this summer

DolphiNThis beta phase is estimated to span about the next 6 months, or until the next RGL LAN later this summer.
