I don't see how these class restrictions are a superior option to just moving teams up directly.

you dont realize how bad losing to mirrorman's pyro would feel

The restrictions in div 2 aren't any better, trust me. The scout I was going to roster, yumyum, is restricted from playing scout after placing 2nd on the shiningstar team. However, the guy who went undefeated in the same div before is allowed to play combo scout again. Dumbest shit I've ever had to deal with.

5'7 but kinda good at med i guess

sleeper pick

Let's fucking go James you're gonna slam

Hey don't get discouraged man, you'll get there soon! Just stay calm and keep practicing!

Woahwoahwoah, don't let this incident totally turn you away from TF2 forever assuming you're still passionate about the game. Nobody is a permabad player, don't let yourself think that you as a human being are incapable of improvement. Weather it be TF2 or anything else, improvement comes with consistent effort over a long period of time. I'd be willing to bet that if you really buckled down, watched tons of demos, grinded dm, & talked with better players, your skill level would go up proportionally. If I were you, I'd take a break to let the stress settle and come back to the decision in a clearer head space.

Ziaa is a crazy talented player. I think if he really put his mind to it he could rise through the divs mega fast. Was a really fun guy to interact with when we played together a few seasons back.

I understand putting people in problematic friend groups under the microscope a little more, it makes sense to evaluate these people as "high risk" from an administrative prospective. But giving someone a harsher punishment because of their friends is wayyy over board. Especially for literally saying "Ni".

I rang for a scrim against these guys once. Joker rage quit on his second death, they got a ringer, and then proceeded to throw the scrim anyway. Our team just unexed because it was actually that terrible of an experience for everyone involved.

This is a really big contribution imo. I hope your plugin can become standard at some point.

He played with us for a night of scrims on the new maps right? Am I thinking of a different player?
Okay i'm half wrong he played in two scrims but we were getting rolled on standard maps: http://logs.tf/2429558 http://logs.tf/2429538

I had a fucking blast playing with these fellas a few seasons back

I played on a team with him for a few exp map cup games and he acted fine. We were playing like ass on a terrible map and he didn't tilt one bit. Based off experience alone he's definitely a fit for playoff main and I'd be surprised if any of the drama shit in this thread would come into play during the season. Maybe I'm missing a key bit of his history here or something but the hate seems undeserved.
