I seem to remember playing vs you guys on Gravel Pit once and Hopex had a supernatural ability to pipe me, like I was magnetic to pipes. It was love at first sight.

bonus little known hopex fact: he emailed valve a prototype idea for STV spec mode, then they implemented a version of that, and he never got any credit for it. not even a community weapon. an unsung hero of the scene.]]></description>

I don't think i've spoken to him for a couple of years now, used to catch him infrequently. That is lovely to hear though :3]]></description>

Simply put there isn't much you can achieve in this game worth the investment in time, so you play as long as it's still fun, and when it stops being fun, time to move on - this season of 6's will be my last unless I can find more enjoyment out of the time I invest in TF2. That stems from playing with the right group of people.</blockquote>you can always go back to lower divisions and enjoy tf2 again, as long as its with right group of people that wont make you mad for being terrible]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[We all got bored and moved on. At least I did, the daily grind of badlands/gran/gullywash eventually gets to you after 6+ years. I still look back with fond memories and keep it touch with people.

Also, Valve never really cared about the competitive scene, probably because the 6v6 TF2 which we all know and love was never *really* meant to be how the game was played.

TF2 officially died the day JB decided to stop writing articles.. FACT.]]></description>

I stopped playing properly 2 years ago, started 5 years ago so I'm probably almost old school. :p

HI LOLAGE!

Not playing anymore, although I was contemplating getting at least one game in this season to keep my run going of playing a game in every season since season 6.

Maybe I should play against Konr so he can kill me over and over again, some recompense for making hin play with me for a while...</blockquote>
Monkehhhh, NE still going strong? :)]]></description>
