ESEA sucks anyway, just get the good teams together and decide on a different lan to all go to, and go play cevo online. Simples.

Would be nice to play if someone fixed the schedule.

Would be cool but, I don’t think that EU teams will stay up for matches, unless they want to wake up @ 5-7am. It’s same from NA aswell because most of the people can’t get online around 14-15 to play versus euro teams (which is usualy +6/7 hours).

And about the finals at lan, even if an EU team will make it, it will cost a load shit of money just to get there + accommodation (and maybe the visa thing, but it might only apply for some countries I think).

Anyways even if EU teams sign up there will still be a problem. They told us:

Quote
“Lastly, as promised, we will be completely dropping all support for TF2 for Season 7, but there’s a catch. We’ve worked hard to address the many issues and suggestions TF2 players have had with our services including Client update response time (we’re down to an average of roughly 45 minutes), scrim servers (in public testing), as well as an Intermediate division. We’ve done our part, now it’s up to the community to man up, stop whining, and save TF2 on ESEA themselves. ESEA TF2 Season 7 will only happen if at least 50 TF2 Open teams are paid by the close of registration. ”

Good luck , but I ain’t see this happening

Like Pyour said before me, the scheduling is the biggest concern here. It’s not that we don’t want to play at euro-friendly times, it’s that we can’t with a lot of our players are still college and having to be in work when it’s 22:00 in the UK.

I’m still looking forward to see the outcome of the next season.

to be honest the ping problem is a bit bullshit; atleast for me. an east coast server hosted by AG (amazing servers, best i’ve played on) ping me averagely around 100, going from 95 to 105 sometimes. after a couple of games you really have only a tiny disadvantage as a soldier. bit bigger as a demoman, but still; not a huge problem. we all know nades are for pussies anyway, real men use up all their stickies on mid :x

i’ve never played on a NY server by the way; east coast wa always pennsylvania i think. if NY pings better then there really is no bother except the huge time difference and the fact that its ESEA servers so all my arguments are invalid
…
fuck ESEA then
