OCR TF2: Stab stab stab!

[ParanoidDrone]

So that match went rather well, to put it mildly. Also it appears I was mistaken -- clan tags are not required.

Our next match is going to be on Badwater and Granary. Badwater will be more of the same, but as a 5CP map Granary is going to run on best of 5 rules. Be aware of the change when we get there.

I've scheduled a strategy/scrim event for Thursday September 30 at 9:30 PM EST for us to get together and talk strategy again like we did for this match. Thank Gaunt for keeping us on track like this. If we can, we also want to try and get a scrim going with atmuh's team.

Alright, so does everyone know the match is today?

I didn't... oops. On the plus side I did get some nice programming done, yeah!

EDIT: I'm also getting a "502 Bad Gateway" error when trying to access the http://etf2l.org/ site. Anyone else having that problem?

According to Chili, it's something like 5 in the morning in Europe, so it's probably down for maintenance or somesuch.

Seems to be responding for me, though.

[ParanoidDrone]

It's intermittent in my experience, mostly late at night in the States. Meh.

[Gaunt]

Umm... why do we show as having a loss?

1. Team Overclocked Remix 2 2 0 0 6 +2

Looks like you have two wins to me d00d.

[RussellChamp]

I wasn't able to make it to the match. Know if there are some replays available of that match? (Like, was Kagami in attendance?)

In the comments on the match, it says that the score posted itself reversed, and an admin fixed it.

I know there's a SourceTV bot on the server, but iirc it's not like Kagami and doesn't store the demos in a directory for downloading.

(Why is the bot named Kagami, anyway?)

Too bad the store and Steam loadouts are down.

When all four pieces [of the Croc-O-Style] of the set are worn, the set provides this additional bonus: The wear cannot be killed by headshots.

o.O

anti-Lumpy powers??

.... wow

[ParanoidDrone]

But the new rifle can't headshot. Which strikes me as defeating the purpose of being a Sniper. Whatever.

Spy's items are amazing. Quieter decloak if all 3 are equipped, at the cost of extra flickering time. Dead Ringer doesn't flicker anyway. Can't decide if losing the disguise kit is worth the benefits of the Eternal Reward though.

Does anyone know for certain what the ETF2L bigwigs are going to do about this? Allow them? Ban them?

Did anyone else notice that the holy mackerel was level 42? As a Douglas Adams fan, I find this very entertaining.

Some of those set bonuses are a bit high, too. Like the Scout's bonus of "+25 max health"... DANG that's a lot.

Especially considering one of the items heals you for the damage you do to the target.

I don't think I like this, especially considering: What if you don't want to wear the hat? It's basically a punishment for A.) Not having the items. B.) Not wanting to wear the hat C.) Not using the items.

For one thing, the Milkman hat doesn't even COMPARE to that Bombing Run hat for Scout. That is by far my favorite Scout hat. I'll go Bill the Butcher on everyone with my fish.

Apparently Valve got bought by a Korean MMORPG company.

is funny because it satires their business model!!

Also I just noticed that in the comic on pages 6 the text on the signs are facing the wrong way. Presumably so the "reader" can see them.

Back from a quick foray into the ETF2L forums, it's confirmed that the Polycount items will NOT be allowed in the tournament.

Fair enough. Not only are they OP but people haven't yet had a chance to play around with them and grok their uses and counters.

Degreaser is proof Valve is trolling Pyro's.

The only effect that strikes me as OP right now is the blanket effect for the Sniper pack -- immune to headshot kills is huge. Doesn't say anything about headshots that don't kill (Ambassador) or what happens when it takes effect though. Does it get ignored completely or take the Sniper down to 1 HP? (Think Protect vs. Endure in Pokemon.)

It's good, though. Really good.

Will trade Vintage Hound Dog, Hot Rod, Whiskered Gentlemen, or Brigade Helmet (as well as a ton of Vintage dupes if you'd rather have one/couple of those) for the Scout hat Bombing Run.
