EPTGuys from Area51 mention it a lot on their streams and Im not sure what it means exactly. Is it being invited by them to join their server and play with them ( like being on their "white list" as opposed to being "black listed" :D)?

There have been talks of limiting turrets and gen upgrades but so far its not a common rule. They don't matter so much because you spawn in your class, not as a naked soldier/pth like in other tribes games. If that were to be the case, you would have to go to an inv station in order to get your weapons/packs/nades and the gens would matter a whole lot. In their current states gens are repaired pretty much only when you need to buy a shrike or if you are turtling in standoffs. In most comp matches teams send a single LO on the first run to take the gen down since base turrets are pretty accurate and complicate the other LO's job for no reason. After that its just a matter of keeping them down once every 4 minutes or so, or not at all if the team doesn't repair its turrets. Deployables are usually destroyed easily by the LO or HO's spam (including forcefields and turrets and stuff) so a good defense will learn not to rely on them to make stops. However on Sunstar the gen being up effectively shuts down the back to front route, which makes it fairly important. On my last few scrims teams were running a tech on D, upgrading everything and making sure the gens were up at all times. Problem is the thumper is not so reliable outdoors/smg indoors and in 7's or even 8's a ''useless'' defender is a lot of wasted manpower. The light turrets can do decent damage but well... they are not super mobile/resiliant. As Rouel said, usually you simply don't have the time to keep it up and since its not essential... its not that big of a deal. Whoa, thanks for the indepth reply, that clarified a lot. | ||

Just wanted to make a quick announcement that I am going to be doing a 24-hour live stream tonight, giving away over 10,000 in gold-codes, as well as giving away Dota 2, Path of Exile, Nexiuz, and Super Monday Night Combat. I'll also be giving away some yet-to-be-announced things that are super-secret but will be revealed on my stream tonight. Anyway, be sure to tune in at http://www.twitch.tv/theblinks at 7:00 EST tonight and then for the rest of the 24-hours. As a side-contest, I'd like to give back to team-liquid for all of the support you guys have given me, so I will be giving away a 250 gold-code to anyone who replies to me in this thread as well as in my stream-thread for a total of 500 gold split between 2 people. (I will be picking them randomly, live on stream tonight) Hope to see you tonight! -Blinks | ||

Always gets those clutch returns that infuriates the enemy team. ( I don't want the gold, leave it for someone who needs it  ) | ||

But I'll summarize the important ones. Signups end by May 13th, matches starts May 20th, 8v8, NA server, we choose what date/time we play. But you have to sign up with a team. But there are not very many low level teams, so lets start a TL.net team :D. If your interested post the information below this. This is for NA players only.

Raider: I'm not great at dueling in the open with chain gun type weapons like the smg so I'm set up mostly for sniping gens/turrets/deployables and harassing the flag stand. ARX/EMP grenade/scrambler Infiltrator: I'm better at dueling with spinfusor/pistol than my raider so when their gens or base turrets are down I usually switch to this and focus on killing their defenders (HoF, snipers, etc), helping our capper get home, or sneaking up on their capper during standoffs. Juggernaut/Brute: When they seem to be too focused on defense for me to get stuff done as raider or infiltrator I usually just go Juggernaut and shell their flag stand from further away with MIRV or mortar, or go Brute and try to clear the way for our capper with fractal spam. I have pathfinder unlocked with most of the important upgrades, but I'm not great at capping or chasing so when I have played pathfinder it has usually been as LO, retrieving the flag during standoffs etc...
