We got an extension. MAKE TEAMS WITH THE SPREADSHEET. We still aren't in the clear. Don't make me up the alert back to red, gamers... https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CWMf8BR1DT0/maxresdefault.jpg OKAY guys, listen up. This is serious, and I want you to treat it as such. It's time for us as a competitive community to step it up and support the league that has supported our game for the past forever. Tsc wrote a lovely site that shows how fees are being paid, and let me tell you... it's looking pretty fucking desolate out there. http://esearegtracker.fwdcp.net/ This may be the first time IM has grown in forever, showing that many dedicated players will be continuing to play in the league. There are also enough teams for one of the healthiest seasons of invite ever. BUT numbers for open are down in a rather dramatic fashion. We see these desperation open team drives every season now, and they're always successful. I want to ask for ONE MORE season of it. One more is all we need. After this season, it is safe to assume there will be significant growth in TF2 with the arrival of matchmaking, more competitive content on tftv and popular youtube channels, and new community sites like TF2Stadium (or it won't and the game dies BUT THAT'S UNLIKELY). But guys... we gotta get past this season. There are currently 6 teams in ESEA TF2 paid up entirely. To put that in perspective, there are currently 9 teams paid up in CS:GO Intermediate...'s west conference. Hundreds of CS teams are playing this coming season, and with ESEA's shifts in management, let's do our best to show them we really do intend on growing as an esport. Or at the VERY least let's get to where we were last season. I helped make 8 open teams and 1/6th of an IM team this season. You? You're not that insane. But I ask that you pitch in and make 1/6th of an open team. It's not hard. In fact, it's pretty fucking great. It's anywhere from 3-5 nights a week of fun times playing an awesome game among (people who are hopefully) good friends. So, here's what you're going to do. If you want to play some awesome TF2, and you want to see some of the best high level competition the game has ever seen, you're going to post the following as a comment in this thread: Alias: Steam URL: ESEA URL: TFTV Looking thread (if applicable): Classes (in order): Current level: Scrim schedule: Can I pay fees?: Comments: Example: Alias: KevinIsPwn Steam URL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/KevinIsPwn ESEA URL: https://play.esea.net/users/596636 TFTV Looking thread (if applicable): http://www.teamfortress.tv/17732/kevinispwn-lft Classes (in order): Roamer, Pocket, Medic Current level: low IM Scrim schedule: S-R 9:30+ (U being Saturday, R being Thursday, time being est) Can I pay fees?: Yes Comments: Really want to play in open. Interested in looking through demos and whatnot. I have past experience in both open and IM. Currently 20 years old. Just edit your post with a "found a team" or something at the bottom. Please don't delete the main part of your post.

Me and "Translucent Feces" (yeah, I know) will be making a huge spreadsheet of these players which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16-KrinEkUGj6Cu2yZsovHoSFphJzXXAah6ITRu5ftqw/edit?usp=sharing If you want to super-help, make a team with some of the people on the spreadsheet. OR just make a team with your pug friends. Every 6th person will have to do this, so step up if you have a bit of free time. If you want to super-super help, pick someone up who can't pay their fees OR contact me about paying someone's fees via tftv pm. I will update this spreadsheet every 30 minutes I am awake and every ~3 hours overnight (yup, i have the alarms set) until registration closes, which is in 2 days. Fece will also be updating it whenever she gets a chance. This will probably be slow starting off, because I'm finishing up this post at 3 AM. Please don't let that intimidate you. :) Think about your top 5 moments playing competitive TF2. It makes me so happy just thinking about those moments, and looking forward to future moments like them. Thinking about those moments is what keeps me organizings and playing competitive tf2 as seriously as I can, and it'd be a shame if we as a community lose the opportunity to make more of those moments.
