[...] my plan was to parse the logs.tf logs that you can access through their api, mainly to explore some stuff I wanted to experiment with like distributed systems with dynamo or mongodb i dont know if you can help...

Wouldn't it be easier to start with server logs, not logs.tf? It seems to solve the issue with double-upload, etc on serveme servers.

[...] That's not to say a robust solution isn't possible, but it's superficial simplicity is an illusion.

etf2l coders are already busy with new site design and Swiss System. Gentleman Jon made something similar before, but then he stopped.

[...] bro what do you have in mind , anything to help with ?

I don't think a rank system can really fit with TF2. As I main engineer, I'll take example with that class. So, for engi, what will players be ranked from? The damages dealt? The sentry gun built? The gameplay of an engi really changes from a map to another, and even on a single map (badwater for example) you can use different playstyle. You can focus on having a good teleporter to keep your team pushing, or trying to have a lvl 3 sentry, but that mean that you won't have time to upgrade your other buildings or you won't be on the battlefield with your shotgun. You can't rank all the engineer with so many differences in the gameplay, because I don't think you'll watch every STV of every games, so you'll use logs, and logs shows stats, not the efficiency of someone during the game.

i am working on something like this for logs.tf
