hey!
as promised, we are coming back with the TF2 LAN event many of you has awaited for - poLANd.tf 2025.
it's going to happen in BaseStack Łódź once more and the event date depends on your responses on the interest form
we are going to stay with the signup format where whole teams sign up; be believe this will be the best outcome for the event as a whole
as of now, we are capable of hosting 14 teams, however i've been told that there is a very high chance this will be increased back to 16 or event more (depends on the way BaseStack handles the situation), the spectator cap will be changed, so most likely up to 70 people could come (that is going to be confirmed soon)
the basement space in the venue has been repurposed and now it's going to be a go-to place for spectators, with a bar inside
ticket prices will be higher: 400 PLN for players and 70 PLN for a spectator; the reason of them being higher is BaseStack having operational costs bigger and us wanting to have some prizepool guaranteed for the tournament (we are looking for sponsors anyway so we can make it even bigger!)
the idea behind the event remains: it's to make it as much competitive as it can be, encouraging the best players to come and let them prove that they are the best
my biggest wish related to this event is that we could host an intercontinental competition and we are happy to invite the best teams from different regions to participate against the best players we have in the EU region (if you are an invite team and you want to be a part of the event, DM me @suprovsky on Discord)

we are also raising funds for the event organization; as you know, all the events we make are entirely crowdfunded in terms of operational costs, together with our current balance we will need around 5200 PLN in order to cover expenses we expect (we are transparent with it, you can see the details here)
we appreciate all donations, big and small as all of them make us able to make this event happen

if you are interested in coming, please fill up this poll; based on that we'll know if the interest is right for the event

i think of uncle dane and solarlight, because uncle dane is just a casual player and seems pretty chill
while solarlight is a competitive player and is insanely good on demoknight, a lot of casual player back him up and somewhat can relate to him that he's cool and while i am pretty sure most comp players do not appreciate playing against a demoknight in 6v6 setting (also demoknight on high level won't simply work because experienced player will able to counter play it), solarlight kinda makes tryharding regardless if on casual or competitive look fun
i could give the same argument for swipez as a spy main as solarlight

ps: under no circumstances do not invite cringetopia moderators to talk or you will end up with a giant waste of time for everybody, these are the type of "people" who call comp player comptards

absolutely agree, this guy couldn't get over j_peg dunking on him on a pub, so this dude is most likely not capable of having a proper conversation about competitive although having some good and bad takes, because he can't handle simple stuff like being killed in a video game where the main objective besides the map is to kill players on the opposite team
having a conversation/debate with someone who is let's say less extremist in opinions could be good

projectile airshots or sniper mid air head shots (only when high, normal jumping doesn't count)

yes you got it right, he ups his own posts
reddit user behaviour

the joke was that aimisadick (afaik) mentioned due to his personal problems (probably with his wellbeing) he steps away from posting and you (temporarily) replaced him as a shitposter #1 on this god forgotten forum

https://www.teamfortress.tv/64520/bo-chyba-tf2-ma-ma-e-problemy
you forgot to add this young polish prodigy to the list bro

by this quote he meant you and your pathetic behaviour
the funniest part is that you could listen to your own advices and perhaps move on xD

ps: there are indeed stuff where if i checked somebody's details, it would be considered creepy and usually people call that "sensitive information" like irl address, real name (if someone wishes to keep it private), personal details about your life you do not share, and the reason why people consider it creepy because usually you are not dumb enough to share it publicly so someone must make a very deep research to be able to find it and it's quite similiar to someone following your step except it's done in a way you don't see it

but your dumb reviews about games are not sensitive information at all, you can click on your nickname here on this forum, click steam profile and voila; you have someone's steam profile
the entire purpose of having game reviews is to be public about it xD so if you don't find it cool that people can read it (and eventually make conclusions about what kind of person you are based on it), why do you post it in the first place?
privacy settings exist for a reason; if you don't wish people to be able to see your shit on your profile just set it to private, it's not that deep

instead of behaving like a schizo and calling people out for what they aren't actually are, maybe you should start thinking about what ur typing here?

i fully agree with you, ultimately you can't do much except trying to let people in their circle know about the fact that this is happening and wish they could do something about this
this person clearly does not see any problem in what is happening and they need some close person like friends or family to make them realize that their behaviour is a problem in a nicer way than i just put it here and lead them to a professional who could deal with the problem because i am pretty sure with all respect but tftv or tf2 communities is like one of the last places of all you should seek for help simply because most of us don't know how to help

hi
i would like to thank you for you all who attended the event, while it was a small event i think we can surely say it was fun
i would like to also thank to all of you who helped me with this event organization, regardless if onsite or remotely, it wouldn't be the same without you
again, we're going to gather photos from this event to a common gallery which will be accessible on our website, so if you have any please upload it here https://c.supra.tf/s/Pryf5xkiDBSBFNb
if there is anybody who wishes not to appear in the gallery (regardless if these are player uploads or ours - please make a ticket and let us know about it, we will respect your call)

i got questions about the upcoming events and plans related to it: so far we do not plan any future "casual" events like the one we've just had until further notice
while this was the root of the event series, there is less interest for this type of events while having huge interest in events where we put players to test their own gaming edge in TF2 competitive
which was something you could experience during the winter event and we'd like to follow this trend, so gather up the strongest 6v6 team you can get and prepare yourself for the best competitive experience you can get in the upcoming year

we plan to organize the next event somewhere around the end of february and start of april as it can get a bit more distanced in time from Überfest in november
and avoid price hikes for flight tickets which would come close to easter (end of april) as we want to keep it as the cheapest tf2 competitive event imaginable
we'll ask you about the interest somewhere around september so we can know how big attendance we can expect
we are keen on having at least one NA and AU/NZ team so we'll do our best to prepare a worthy prize pool for the next event

one last thing: poLANd.tf is entirely funded from community donations and we would appreciate your help with covering costs for the last event and upcoming one(s)
our finances are transparent and you can find them at https://finances.poland.tf/ while you can support us through https://donate.poland.tf/

again, thanks for everything and hopefully cu@ poLANd.tf 2025!

shes right, post your pc specs so we could confirm it

hey everyone!
i'd like to remind you that the signups are still open! as of now we have 26 players signed up as well as 16 spectators
signups are going to close one week before the event (12.07.2024)
later on next week we are going to choose what tournaments do we want to run where we'll have a choice between:
- 6v6 tournament based on players available (players form teams themselves)
- 6v6 draft tournament where a few captains will pick their team
- MGE tournament for soldiers or/and scouts
- BBall tournament
- Ultiduo tournament
keep in mind that we are going to host multiple tournaments, not just one of the choices from the list

meanwhile, i'd like to announce that the fragmovie from remaining edition is done by deli and is going to have a premiere at 18 CEST today, so make sure you'll see it!

that's pretty cool, i love it

recently I've binge watched the original old avatar last airbender series and I'm willing to watch the continuation (the legend of korra)
