Better than sakura

A lot of unfortunate events this season; however, I did learn a lot along the way. I was a demo main for the longest time, but I recently picked up the medic class and actually performed very well in challenger. I’m still improving and would like to play in a better team environment. I could play demo if the team doesn’t give a shit, but that’s no fun.

Basically, I’d like to play medic on a mid to high challenger team or play demo on any challenger team.

Discord and everything else on my rgl!

@lay Not clean fam

i love soala very good player and overall just an amazing person

could’ve been top invite but they’d rather sandbag

@ire there you go, people join the discord!

Apparently, some people are also confused about how to find a team for this event. I’m sure RGL would be cool with you posting an lfp or lft in the discord or the forums. For those not playing in the invite division, there’s a main and newcomer division. Main is paid newcomer is not, but there’s still a prize pool. Don’t let this event die!

There was a tftv made about this, but not enough people have signed up still. It literally starts on the 1st of May for invite! Stop playing a terrible game mode like highlander and play a REAL format for a chance to win the prize pool!

The tftv thread goes as follows:

This is the event thread for the upcoming North American Community Clash sponsored by DreamHack and organised by EssentialsTF. Details about the event will be posted here when available. Questions about the event should be placed here as well and should be answered promptly. I would encourage any teams interested to check out the tournament pages as that contains all the relevant details about the event, but also keep an eye on our twitter page for updates: https://twitter.com/TF2Essentials

All matches are played using the RGL Scrim Config and Whitelists.

I’m not a part of the staff, but I felt like this could help.

@Flare By far the best response. I’ll follow your advice and move forward.

@megga Oh wait you’re hyon I guess you were trolling. My bad for assuming.

@Bliztank I’m glad you pointed these things out and I’ll get to fixing these them if I’m given the chance. I also was not involved in harassing rona, not once did I do anything to her. We literally played Overwatch and played on a team for a bit while it was going on. This is the first time I’ve genuinely apologized for my actions. This isn’t done for attention and I was planning on doing this as soon as I got unbanned from the forums. As for me being fake and just trying to get attention by apologizing you’re making it sound like I shouldn’t have apologized at all. I wanted to talk to you bliztank but you immediately block anyone who’s made a mistake in the past. It’s also kind of crazy how you banned people based on their affiliation with me. I do have issues and I’m admitting it, and those people you think I peer pressured to do things, actually willingly did it. Believe it or not there’s people just like me in this community, but they aren’t as loud as I am. It’s hard to tell how the other person feels on the internet, but I will say that I’m trying.

I’m open to criticism and I’m willing to talk that’s why I made this post as well. However if you’re going to judge me on who I am as a person take a look at yourself before you comment. It’s absolutely shameless how fake people will be just to get their way.

@Bonesaw Abusing who’s trust? I actually never bothered you and only knew you because of avian. I’d like to reach out to the men you claim I’ve hurt besides Austin and bliztank. Don’t even try to pretend like you’ve been the most perfect individual in any sort of video game community either. Come on you of all people should know better UGC literally has a “stop cancel culture” png on the site.

@megga I’m not misogynistic and was unfairly labeled as one. Did you not read the post or are you another follower of the mob? I don’t condone misogyny but hey let’s just forget about the other people who actually doxxed a woman in this community
