we literally just had a tournament at Dreamhack winter today, so wouldn’t say so, although the scene has seen better days

when were those “better days” ?

Dreamhack was always huge, pleasently surprised TF2 got on there but these are the things I remember:

Admirable being Irish
Chris ridiculously drunk on video
Tapley doing all the LANs
Epic LAN …5?..where Qun’s PC broke like 50 times in the final
i40(?)
Byte being the Phil Neville of TF2
Clockwork being the best scout ever (for a Yank)
Extremer going Huge
Darn being a drunk
Bybben and Rebeli
Rybs superjump
F20 the dutch guy looking like Sting
The LAN where yanks and aussies came over and manshamed everyone
The TCM team that actually won stuff – I want to say Skinny and Zero??
When that team of half Spaniards half Israelis were the rogue winners of something
Beaver (?) cheating
Shinnyta and his spasticated controls
Vanillatf2 being active
Blowback against some of the very first unlocks
Arx and Beta casting
Fakkelbrigade being a team that won stuff as opposed to being past it dutch
Dr Justice being an extra in a guy ritchie movie
MGE

How long ago was all this stuff?

Sup chaps

Havent played for a long bloody time (3 years)
Is it over? Fucking good run while it lasted tbh

Same. It seems more or less as active as it used to be. Casting production has gotten immensely better, doesn’t seem like there’s as many huge gaps between divisions. http://teamfortress.tv/ seems way more active than ETF2L. http://tf2pickup.net/ is actually worthwhile.

I strangely recall Chris being battered too, or at least the pictures and videos being put up of him. And Konr getting a condom thrown into his case @ Insomnia.

Short answer: No
Longer Answer: Some teams at the top migrating to Overwatch, we’ll see how that goes, for now scene is still going strong having a DH LAN, it’s one of those periods of rebuilding for the top scene, may take a while to get back up but with MM on the horizon and i58, I can imagine it will only get better, I am positive.

Also the things you remember are waaaay old man, waaaay old. Ancient TF2 history.

Chris in a wheelchair +++

I reckon that was like i44? 4 years ago maaan

was it ever alive?
