THANK YOU ADMINS FINALLY MY EVERY DAY SPAMMING TO REMOVE LAKESIDE PAID OFF IM FREE
no lakeside thank god
lakeside is gone :crab:
makemake i had a dream abt u idk why
none sniper mains proud lakeside is gone…. atleast coalplant is back samii to prem!!
mind sharing what the dream was about classy
you hate to see it
put feila in prem thanks
No badwater, no lakeside, vigil added, coalplant remains, life good
I still reserve my right to complain about warmtic, admins did a terrible job, I cant believe it, quitting etf2l as we speak
good decision overall, i’m truly satisfied
LakeSide removed? Thanks God.
Badwater removed? Well, it’s big mistake. I think everyone prefer play Badwater than trash map Coalplant.
P.S. Thanks for Vigil. Pretty good map.
Lakeside and Badwater. Who will replace them? Anyone.
Kind of sad to see Coalplant will be played over Ashville for yet another season even though I’m pretty sure everyone that played PSC can confidently say Ashville is just a straight upgrade to Coalplant cause Sniper isn’t as strong and there’s no sentry in shutters to deal with and Engie DM might actually matter on a map that isn’t Product again. I’m glad Badwater is finally replaced as the community has been asking for it for ages. Personally Lakeside and Warmtic aren’t too different to me; both have huge flaws therefore it doesn’t change the gameplay experience too much, but I would’ve prefered Lakeside just cause it would make the map pool feel fresher.
who are these people who seriously enjoy playing around a lvl3 the entire game so much that they vote for warmtic and coalplant over ashville? Do you have fun playing games? would you say you struggle with basic tasks?
I have a dream that one day the etf2l main admin will be an Afro European woman
Thanks for pushing vigil over badwater. Don’t get me wrong I like both maps. But changes really help keep it fresh.
Not top seed WHY
admins biased against samii again………………….
weak
etf2l is dead
antibite l o x
admins are giving samii’s team more experience by putting ef2l into lower bracket that he will eventually use to defeat sdck in finals this season
also to people who complain about lvl3: just shoot at the engi lol ez
Badwater gone, there is a God after all
Don’t know why people really don’t want to play Ashville over Coalplant. So much of the way Coalplant is played is dictated by the presence of a level three gun in shutter. If the engineer is any good you are literally just not getting cap time unless that gun is down, which is really aids on koth. The shutter is essentially an extra shield in case your team somehow doesn’t manage to do 648 dmg to a sentry (not unlikely) as it literally blocks the line of fire. The amount of time/effort a flank+spy have to put into dealing with it vs. the time/effort it takes for an engie to get it fully built in shutter (again) with current day engineer unlocks is kinda ridiculous. Banning said engineer unlocks is far more controversial than just adding nobuild to shutter.
If someone were up to add nobuild to shutter on Coalplant though I think it’d be the best of both worlds and Coalplant would be totally fine.
what adđe said
ashville > coalplant
smrk >= wrong & smrk =< wrong
