fnatic shouldn't have gone public. pitchforks were raised at valve and then valve posted some pretty damning documentation.

also i like how it's being called drama just because i feel like that when the conditions are met, "drama" evolves into "politics".

EDIT: ooooh okay, i get it.

fnatic wants to play without this era dude, but valve is like "yo, let this kid play".

I see a lot of valve praise, but tbh shouldn't it be a teams decision?

Valve doesn't invite teams, they invite 5 players that form the team so the team can't make any changes to who goes.

they can if the player is unable to play, like fear.

that is where the suspicion is, because fnatic went public and said valve isn't allowing them to play with excalibur because era has a medical condition preventing him from playing and that they would risk his health by playing him.

but this info from valve says that era is able to play just fine so now it looks like fnatic was just trying to rally public support. tricky.

if you want a seeded invite based on past performance then you need to keep your team together.
you can always earn an invite at the qualifying tournament, like LGD did last year after their changes.

No, I want the best fucking team each organization can field so I can see the best fucking games. Not forcing players to play together because the tourney organization says so.

Also, you'd be seriously misguided if you think teams would just willynilly do team trades and think their team is going to magically get better. The teams have to invest serious amount of downtime to replace players to create a better overall team, and if the team doesn't need a long time to see improvement then that means the player you replaced was fucking shittier than zoonie, and deserved to get replaced.

Ok guys my computer only has one more issue with it. The microphones are all failing to work. The ports recognize that there is a microphone in there, but mic receives no sound. The mics work on all other computers. + Show Spoiler +

In the case of one mic I have, I am able to get it to barely register sound by yelling into it and making its sensitivity as high as possible. Any ideas?

While I don't have an opinion on the matter I do want to just clear up something. There's been very real cases of new teams forming and doing really well then breaking apart or slumping really hard into break up. One of the most recent examples of this is LGD.int and Sigma.int. In the former case the players are all really good and on good teams now (Mouz/Navi.US). Sometimes it's not a case of a player being bad but just some kind of team gelling and style that works out.

The rule is also partly in place to stop them from inviting a team then the team that shows up at the international is completely different with none of the reasoning for the invite in the first place. Can just imagine if they invite say Sigma.int because they were doing really well then that team now breaks up into Mouz and whatever team the frenchies are on. It's a product of the way they handle the invite structure and protecting players. I'd imagine if there were actual player unions and someone to enforce contracts none of this would be needed.

Check Device Manager. You may have something Stock that isn't actually hooked up set as primary. If that doesn't work rerun drivers AS ADMIN and then we can move from there. Windows likes to force detect things. It's silly that way.

EDIT:
As for the whole Fnatic thing.

I think it's fine that Valve has stuck to their guns here. The rule exists in order to prevent exactly this scenario. You can't just go an ENTIRE season with someone, and then as soon as you get your invite (The same time that they started playing with xcalibur) switch and expect valve to respect it. You worked that hard with these people for that long play the game.

The problem here is the ERA doesn't want to play. If he doesn't play then that's his problem that he's dicking over 4 other people.

No, I want the best fucking team each organization can field so I can see the best fucking games. Not forcing players to play together because the tourney organization says so.

Also, you'd be seriously misguided if you think teams would just willynilly do team trades and think their team is going to magically get better. The teams have to invest serious amount of downtime to replace players to create a better overall team, and if the team doesn't need a long time to see improvement then that means the player you replaced was fucking shittier than zoonie, and deserved to get replaced.

Delicious drama is cooking up at TI4. A doctor really needs to approve Era's health because of course a player is going to say he can play irregardless of his health.

fnatic shouldn't have gone public. pitchforks were raised at valve and then valve posted some pretty damning documentation.

also i like how it's being called drama just because i feel like that when the conditions are met, "drama" evolves into "politics".

EDIT: ooooh okay, i get it.

fnatic wants to play without this era dude, but valve is like "yo, let this kid play".

I see a lot of valve praise, but tbh shouldn't it be a teams decision?


Valve doesn't invite teams, they invite 5 players that form the team so the team can't make any changes to who goes.

and this is retarded.

And people thought League teams had issues with keeping people around who are past their prime for viewers.

yeah, I thought legacy players on teams was an issue...


While I don't have an opinion on the matter I do want to just clear up something. There's been very real cases of new teams forming and doing really well then breaking apart or slumping really hard into break up. One of the most recent examples of this is LGD.int and Sigma.int. In the former case the players are all really good and on good teams now (Mouz/Navi.US). Sometimes it's not a case of a player being bad but just some kind of team gelling and style that works out.

The rule is also partly in place to stop them from inviting a team then the team that shows up at the international is completely different with none of the reasoning for the invite in the first place. Can just imagine if they invite say Sigma.int because they were doing really well then that team now breaks up into Mouz and whatever team the frenchies are on. It's a product of the way they handle the invite structure and protecting players. I'd imagine if there were actual player unions and someone to enforce contracts none of this would be needed.

I mentioned this on LD, but that's more a scene stability issue. Outside of TI, there's no incentive for teams to consistently field the best possible team they have.

Ok guys my computer only has one more issue with it. The microphones are all failing to work. The ports recognize that there is a microphone in there, but mic receives no sound. The mics work on all other computers. + Show Spoiler +

.

In the case of one mic I have, I am able to get it to barely register sound by yelling into it and making its sensitivity as high as possible. Any ideas?


you mean you won't be able to talk at game night?

damn shame, dunno how to help
