Hey folks
Has been a while since I have written one of these so thought I will update you on everything that is going on!
DStM seem to be doing reasonably well in ETF2L, with another few points securing a top 3 finish, which hopefully will mean promotion to div1. in ESL it is very much in our hands, if we win our last 2 games we will come top of the group. In Wireplay, we finished 2nd, behind a team who should probably be in the premier division, so its no mean feat! More recently the good captain has announced that he is stepping down from full time scouting to focus on University, so the neverending search for a player starts again!
With Isai gone for a month (he met a finnish girl you know- would rather go to finland to visit her than LAN) PStM slipped into a coma, but should still recover to win their division fairly comfortably. Hopefully they can get back to were they where before he left, and push on into hopefully div3 next season!
CStM have unfortunately had to drop due to the ever continuous roster issues (bit of a running topic). I'm fairly sure saadyst has a plan of what he is going to do, and he is capable of rebuilding a team, and within the community the help and support is there to assist with that (thats looking at you luke "I think you should search for a backup for me" Noble).
This brings me onto a new point. In the last week or so Robin came to me asking if we wanted another team in the community. In all honesty I was skeptical at first, but come to think of it, the more the merrier. It should hopefully bring a breathe of fresh air into mumble, and help us to progress as a growing community. So I would like to welcome the team formerly known as Panda Society. As far as I know they play a lot with the P and C StM guys so hopefully not to many unfamiliar faces in there! They even have a guy whos name is arguably worse than the good Capitan previously mentioned. I have been speaking with Trane and for the start it will be a 'probation' period of sorts, just make sure everyone fits in etc but hopefully it won't be a problem.
With the community coming up on almost 2 years, we have recently been looking at getting picked up by an organisation, with varying degrees of interest, success and then abck to the start. However, for the last few months me and Lore have been doing some preparation to see if we could maybe find a few sponsors to cover things like servers, lan wear and any extra incentives. We have only recently started applying but initially things are looking promising. One of the problems we have is that we are TF2 only, but then a huge positive is that we are well known throughout TF2. In light of this I have been in talks with a server provider http://www.gameplayservers.com who are keen to help in some shape or form. However, one of the pre-requisites is that we get as many people as we can to join their steam group, which is available on the forums. Obviously this is a 2 way thing and we will need to do our part in promoting their servers throughout the community where possible, but at the moment things are looking promising.
Going further on from this I am looking at getting StM more up to date, in the next few days the website will be updated with all the relevant information, and generally tidied up. This may take a bit longer as I need to get hold of Lord Hannisen in order to amend the forums. With this it would be nice if people could post suggestions of what they want / would like to see on the forum topic (in general discussion) so we can implement it, and start progressing from there.
I'll let you know how I get on but in the mean time, do us all a favour and add your mates!
Thanks
Ryan
PS I forgot and broke the forum, sorry
