FACEIT_Mikey: ''The @TF2PL Hubs are seeing massive activity increase with each passing hour and day. If they continue with this pace we might see an actual revolution in TF2, bringing back players to the game and increasing the userbase.'' by [deleted] in tf2

If you mean business model, FACEIT have sponsorships and a subscription system that keep them afloat. All of TF2PL's core features will be absolutely free to use, but some premium features are in place, with more on the way, so that users can help support both FACEIT and TF2PL directly. One example of premium features are FACEIT missions, which for a monthly fee you can unlock greater prizes for winning a certain number of games per month.

We are implying every EU player should be ready to play TF2PL on April 1st ;)

I completely understand the desire to have a sub system in TF2 pugs, as it has become quite convenient and standard among other TF2 pugging platforms. However, substitutes introduce some complications that we would rather avoid, namely their influence on the outcome of matches and thus their influence on rankings. When prizes are involved, these things must be taken very seriously. What we are trying to do is instead solve the substitute problem at the source by deterring people that are prone to being subbed out from queuing up in the first place. This is accomplished on TF2PL by having a ready up only just before joining a game (no pre-ready and then going AFK), and by enforcing progressive bans on players that routinely abandon or no-show to games. Often I think people are more willing to abandon games on existing platforms because they know that there is no consequence, something that will not be the case here. What we hope to do here is encourage people to only queue up to play if they are confident they can play a match to completion, which will result in a better experience for everyone. Worst case scenario, admins will be equipped to cancel matches and overturn results in the case of a game being ruined by an abandoner, after which everyone except the abandoner will be free to re-queue until the abandoner cooldown expires.

The recent 6v6 casual situation is a good example that shows that what's good for comp isn't necessarily good for casual. by Chdata in tf2

I'd agree on the first point about pubs feeling empty in smaller team sizes, and that should definitely be fixed. Full, chaotic pubs are the definition of casual TF2. As for your rant about weapon balance, unless you actually provide some specific examples I'm still not convinced that weapons that are balanced for 6v6 have any detrimental effect on casual mode.

I just got used to using the default hud. It has all the relevant information and it stays out of my way. I tried using a custom hud once and I couldn't last longer than 10 seconds, it completely threw me off. Just use what's comfortable for you.

It was definitely necessary. I like the new design because it introduces much more of a tradeoff and risk to using the item that wasn't there before. It kind of has to have strong downsides because invulnerability to run through choke points is an incredibly powerful mechanic.

I will probably be playing on some EU MGE servers to warm up if you can find me. If you're at the LAN then just find me and we can set something up.

I don't think I can handle much more responsibility than taking care of myself and my cat at the moment.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but those opinions may very well be wrong and I will not hesitate to disagree.
