i'm thinking of running a double elim cup for the non pro teams.

all the pro teams will be barred from this cup. maybe an exemption for 1 pro player per team.

hey new players, what are you thoughts?!

[LToro]

cool idea, could turn out to be awesome

[Hackasaures]

This sounds great, considering most low div teams (like mine) will get freaking destroyed if we go up against even DD or anyone else close to that skill level.

wheres the line between pro and new? just curious

[hcaz]

round-table discussion between clan leaders to form a collective opinion to decide the line between pro and amateur.

quick question, are there at least 8 amateur teams that would play?

I'm inclined to say no at the moment, but there have been a lot of new players trying 6v6 recently.

would be a good idea if the non-pro teams start reaching out to show their presence.

depends on what amateur would be, but in all honesty i dont think it can hit 8, maybe 4? sad to say that might even be tight

One of you reach out to eXtine or any other influential TF2 celeb and have him do a 5 minute talking session about an Asiafortress amateurs cup so all his asian followers are inclined to give it a try.

[Hackasaures]

We could probably get sal to talk about it, or get sal to talk to extine. Sal will almost always listen to his followers on twitter/ comments on his youtube videos or whatever.

This is good, sandvichfort might do a better job at promoting this though, since they cater more to pubbers + new players

[hcaz]

SVF doesn't run 6v6 comps afaik

you're very ill-informed about SVF. SVF doesn't cater only to pubbers or new players. they run highlander comps, prop hunt, fun events like their upcoming kritzkast lo-fi offclass cup which caters to EVERYONE including noobs like you.

don't have to generalize

[spammah]

Oh god, sandvichfort. Why the hell was a second website made in an already suffering TF2 community in Asia? Why can't everyone just pool in their resources and time and effort and help build up one project together to the benefit of all? I swear to god, the shit some of you guys do and fuck things backwards 5 years, I'll never understand.

[hcaz]

you live in the middle east, you're 50 years behind by default.

SVF is already more than a year old and they are well established and they are already working together with AF now stop talking about shit that happened a decade ago. get with the times old man.

[spammah]

Shut up phailcunt. Who the hell cares if SVF is more than a year old (which I doubt they are)? They popped up AFTER Asiafortress, didn't they? So you fail to grasp or understand anything I've said.

Also I'm not the one in a satay-making country with totalitarian-like retarded laws and policies that makes whatever's happening in KSA look like a mellow high school TV drama. With the exception of a state or two, my country's pretty liberal on most sensible things in life.

Get with the times you ignorant little gypsy.

[hcaz]

So what if they were founded after or before?

You are whinging about stuff that happened a year ago and instead of trying to work out things that has already been done, Instead you post meaningless shit in the forums to prove what? You're not even close after trying to rectify the situation but to just stir shit up for nothing. That is backward thinking.

My solution/suggestion : Work with what we have today/now. Stop whinging.

[iridescentFUZZ]

I felt sort of the same way about SVF as spammah does until I realised that they're not splitting up the community, but providing an avenue(intentionally or not is irrelevant) for people that may be intimidated by the AF scene to get in with more experience/recognition than new guys who just wander into 6v6 and have no idea what to do, who then get discouraged because no one knows them from anywhere else and never help them out.

When some of the HighLander guys started playing PuGs recently, they at least had enough gamesense(barring medic) to play competently and didn't get completely raged at the way new 6v6'ers get raged at by everyone.

So my stance on SVF; their events may not always appeal to me personally, but I think their efforts to give Asian TF2 another strong community(one that will possibly be less apprehensive about getting into 6v6) are great.

[thelousy]

Wouldn't it be a great idea if everything was consolidated together? Best of both worlds all in one site.

Just saying. But what's done is done, so we're just gotta move on.
