Buttmen is up, but connecting into it goes into a loop and never actually connects. Yet the server responds in browser. HALP.

after 2 weeks of playing the witcher, possibly my greatest game of two halves so far. started T mirage, 5-10 and I was abysmal, like 4/11. Ended 16-13 with 28/20.

playing like poo poo and winning is the mark of champions etc. etc.

I've been using a Qck++ or whatever (the mega huge one) for at least six years(I don't remember when I got it. Pre 2010). Only one of the corners is starting to lift up a bit. They're fairly washable and durable as hell, and feel nice enough.

TSM also runs one of the bigger NA LoL teams. Hence the name, team solo mid. From my interactions with people who follow esports in real life (which, going to community college, is quite a handful), most people are into either LoL or DOTA 2. (LoL World Championship reported 32 million viewers with peak concurrent of 8.5 million, while CSGO Katowice reported 8.5 million viewers with peak concurrent of just over 1 million.)

I'll take demolition over casual. Demolition doesn't have overly long rounds and over double the people that should be on the map.

Oh, well. I've been educated. I always kinda figured TSM was a bad dust2 joke or something. That's neat. I'm glad I didn't make some dumb CS related remark then.

Yeah. I know Cloud9 and Fnatic have pretty successful LoL teams as well. Most esports organizations are pretty diverse with respect to that. NiP is the only one that I can think of that is decidedly CS first, and even they actually recently picked up a DOTA team. (Titan is too I guess, but they have a Smite team (???))

Of course, just like pretty much every game that asians actually play, NA/EU teams are almost irrelevant since china and korea dominate so much face at a top tier level in League and Dota. Its not quite as insane as say, Starcraft, but its still pretty nuts. I think the only reason they haven't invaded CSGO is because theres that weird Nexon CS that they play over there (Counterstrike Online? can't remember.)

Anyways, judging just from big dumb viewership numbers, League is easily the most popular esport, with DOTA 2 coming in second and CSGO is pretty handily third now. Starcraft is dead unless you're Korean. And then it's still kinda dead. Which is kinda a shame, because the quality of SC2 casters and the production of stuff like GSL is stupidly high compared to even the best CS stuff (I don't know about the MOBAs, I don't really watch em.)

Also demolition may be 5v5, but the maps are half the size of the regular ones.

Nope! Abandoning during warmup gives you an immediate 30m cooldown.

Heck, not connecting gives you a cooldown. Although apparently if you lose connection and your team surrenders within 3 minutes you don't get an abandon.

Edit: Although in that case someone else has to have already abandoned, but still.

Of course some fuckhead TK's the bot because he "wants the dak dak", proceeds to get a MM kickban for TK'ing, and then have us lose 3v5 from a 12-3 half.

Abandons in this game need to be handled better.
