Gladia leaves redLine and Ubersexuals recruit Finns!

Übersexuals

Lately Übersexuals have had some line-up issues. This has resulted in the recruitment of Haza and snap from the folded clan k1ck. I asked the leader of Übersexuals dunc, a couple of questions:

What is your general impression of Finns?

dunc: I fucking hate them. All of them. Every single one of them. Possibly excluding two.

Why did you recruit Haza & snap, seeing you already have two scouts and a demo?

 dunc: Haza and snap are two of the most talented players I’ve ever played with. Before recruiting either, we only had six players – sommie runs a kendo class every Tuesday and Thursday, meaning we were struggling to scrap four games together each week. Originally we were trying to recruit a soldier to cover sommie, then skre’s TF2 broke.. and he has been without it for nearly 14 days. In the end we decided to recruit Haza because he’s superb at both scout and soldier.

Weqo has a lot on “in real life” at the moment, working late hours and designing various complex web-based systems, and simply can’t dedicate a lot of time to TF2. We’ve been on the lookout for a new demoman for a while now, but there hasn’t been any available. Snap originally didn’t want to get involved in the clan scene again, but after playing with us for a couple of games, I think he realised we’re not all bad.

When skre’s got his TF2 working again, I think we’ll be back better than ever 🙂

Good luck to Haza and snap in their new, sexy clan! 🙂

redLine

Gladia is probably one of the most known and best players in redLine. He has been around in the TF2 scene for a long time, but unfortunately he has now decided to leave the competitive TF2 scene. He gave me the following statement:

Gladia: Mon arrêt à TF2 n’est pas une réelle surprise en soit. Il a été dicté par plusieurs raisons qui m’ont poussé à me tourner vers cette décision.

Tout d’abord, je ne prends plus, ou en tout cas plus assez, de plaisir à faire des matchs les soirs. La motivation n’est plus là, et je voyais cela plus comme une contrainte. Ce qui évidemment n’a plus aucun intérêt, car à la base un jeu par définition doit être amusant, ludique.

La communauté TF2 française est divisée en 2, de manière significative. Il y a les français qui percent, qui sont en minorité. Et ceux qui ont un niveau plus faible parmi lesquels certains ne jouent que pour le fun. Les bons joueurs, ne tirent pas les plus faibles vers le haut. Ce qui fait que le niveau français reste tout de même inférieur par rapport à certains pays.

Le jeu en lui-même est encore très peu représenté dans les LAN. Appart peut-être quelque LAN en Europe. Mais en France c’est le néant total. La Gamer Assembly a pointé le bout de son nez et à apporter une petite lueur d’espoir qui survie malgré le fait que les informations sont quasiment nulles.

La France, a du retard à ce niveau là. Et bien évidemment je ne fais pas parti des personnes qui déplacerais des montagnes pour que cela change. Mais c’est un constat, peu joyeux pour les joueurs français.

That was enlightening. We wish Gladia the best in his future encounters.

Recent changes in wotr includes Torden joining as medic and t0dA joining as demoman. I asked t0dA what his feelings were about having joined wotr.

t0dA: No feelings.

Oh well. Good luck anyway!

F2 asked me to write the article in french 🙂

What the fuck did Gladia say?

F2 says: 21 November 2008 - 19:26

I wanted there to be something exclusively for the french!

mercu says: 21 November 2008 - 20:09

It explains that french community is mainly casuals gamers, who play tf2 for fun. And even we have some good players in france, nobody’s trying to increase the frenchs players to a higher level, there are no event at all in france about tf2.

do i need to use babelfish to get that comment into something readable?

Here comes my crappy attempt to translate (nevermind the mistakes \o/) :

The fact that I’m stopping tf2 isn’t that much of a surprise. Multiple reasons led me to take this decision.

First, I don’t enjoy playing, well like I used to do, anymore. The motivation has faded away and it feels more like a chore, which is pretty pointless since it’s a game.

The french tf community is divided in two category. Skilled players who want to improve but are in minority. Casual players who are only here to play for fun and the skilled ones aren’t trying to help them improving. This explains why the french level is below many countries.

The game itself isn’t that known in LANs, except maybe a few LANs in Europe. But in France, there are none. The Gamer Assembly may change that and brings some hope but it still pretty slim considering that the news about are close to none.

France is way behind on that kind of thing and I’m not the kind of person that would do a lot to change that. But this is fact, and it’s pretty sad for the french players.

Bleh, my 2 cent.
