Half of your issues have to do with your own teammates and the other half have to do with expecting to place well in the division because you have a decent amount of highlander experience. (also who cares if their team complains because they failed to field 6 on 3 different occasions)

You're playing in a league now where you will do bad unless you are naturally good at shooting people, or actually try to improve. That means pugging, demo reviews and/or practicing DM. If you're fine with improving at the pace of a snail or just want to play in steel/silver forever without trying to get better, then ugc is probably better for you.

You do not have to fracture the community. Assuming the people in this thread are correct, just make the changes to advanced division that the majority of it's player base wants to see.

I could understand at the beginning, the current limitations of the faceit platform force you towards a more liberal player selection, and you maybe want to try something different to increase the amount of high level pugs that go on, but it seems like it's only done the opposite.

I think faceit is a major success for the lower levels, as it gives a good platform for less experienced players, whether that's never played comp before, or a few seasons of ucg/open. At the higher levels, it seems there is a very clear desire from people for a more "exclusive" pug experience.

I don't think this is an inherently bad thing. It puts more importance on pugs for a less experienced individual who maybe does not get picked often in a system where fat kids exist, which also happens to fall fairly close in line with the whole competitive nature that faceit is trying to push in the first place. The current faceit system actually favors someone like me, who does not pug often and usually gets fatkidded because of it, but I can realize the displeasure of the majority of the user base at the top end, and understand where they are coming from.

More than half the teams in ugc will try to forfeit loss you instead of waiting 30 minutes or rescheduling to a different day.

Some admins are extremely biased and are too lazy to look into the actual situation of things to come to a fair solution. If your division admin is your friend, a lot of time you get a free pass for all the stupid bullshit you do.

While ESEA servers do go down and have bullshit, there are always multiple times a season were tragic servers or other big server providers will get dossed down on match days.

the lego games are godly and fun for the whole family.

if ur family forces you to spend time with younger family members for some reason, it's a really solid pick to pass the time.

Tambo is a good man and a great gamer.

Treat him right, and he'll shower you with love and frags.

Did people not read this part of max's post^

Does nobody know that there is a quickswitch loadout setting in the normal options menu of TF2.

If you want to ban the "b4nny bind" then we're talking removing a standard option that has been in the game for years, since as long as I can remember playing this game on pc.

Like are people just blind and they don't see it?

They're all great people who are also good at the video game, but Midas might be the most fun person in the world to have as a teammate.

Hey if you put either of your flags sideways it makes the other person's flag.

You were truly meant to be together

Dude people should talk about Xalox more often. 4th place on the top 10 amount frags in an esea invite match, and the only person above him is Clockwork 3 times lol.

yeah lets keep nerfing demo

Kinda sad to see them go, but I know we can make it through this, they're not the first pair of twins we've had to let go of.

BENTLEY IS CRAZY!! (btw Bentley is Megapupper, i can use his first name because we are tight like that. yeah i know invite Dogs but its not a big deal dude its whatever to me lol)

Great amazing scout, can also whip you up a megaburger at the drop of a hat.
