We don’t fuck up your threads with junk, so you stop fucking up ours. It’s a compromise we can all agree on.

Last thing for 6’s players here:

We don’t fuck up your threads with junk.

wrong.

I really want to go to this. I basically have to.
LF EU HL team?

okay constructive critisism. just because there is a demand for a hl lan doesn’t mean that demand is higher than the one for a 6s lan. and just because 6s players have 2 lans already doesn’t mean there isn’t interest in a third, especially one that seems really fun from a social perspective. and while i realise that you’re not trying to, you’re inevitably alienating the largest competitive format from the lan, something that might hurt attendance.

sure all of this can be shot down with “it’s worth a try” or “it’s all volunteer time anyway” but i feel like this just ended up a hl lan by chance without a constructive discussion; at least not a public one. i think every lan should aim to be the best competitive tf2 experience it can be, and while the current state of this lan isn’t inherently worse than any other, it very well could be and that should be discussed further.

…

as i have stated earlier, we have economic reasons to make this lan hl focused. while a democratic discussion and decision is ethically favorable, it’s not practical because a. most players who plan on attending i52/info can’t say now whether they’ll be able/ want to make the trip to DeutschLan in september and b. because unfortunately the organisers are taking responsibility without being paid for it or any insurance. a 100% transparent discussion is not possible (we can’t just post every email response on the forum), and i don’t feel comfortable having to execute what people who aren’t properly informed have decided.

if you ppl want a 3rd 6s lan go and organize one yourself, this was organized by foungi to be a HL focused lan.
do you think you are forced to come there even if you dont want to or what is your problem ?

You sound really entitled, armchair critic more than anything. So a bunch of HL-orientated players organise a HL lan, where did chance come into play in this exactly?

It’s like going to a vegetarian restaurant complaining they don’t serve meat, when the majority of the population does. That’s just dumb. They exist for a reason and this lan was created with HL players in mind so that these guys have a proper tournament that’s not just some kind of ‘pizza competition’ like the situation we have in i-Series.
