ESEA Playoffs -- Watching Competitive TF2

[Tarquin]

Hey guys I thought I'd post this up here for the convenience of anyone who might be interested in competitive TF2 but might not follow it or know where to look to find matches. TF2 ESEA playoffs are going on right now and I personally have always enjoyed watching the top-level competition, but never got around to ever really doing it until I recently got into actually playing it. In the past I I think I would have watched it more if I was more aware of when the big matches were taking place, etc., and that is why I'm posting this.

I'll try to keep this post updated on upcoming matches, but I by no means am the most informed person on this stuff so if anyone would like to send anything my way I'll add it to this post.

Did anyone see the 20id vs EG match? It amazes me how well EG plays - everyone seems to be on the same page on that team at all times, and they look like they are at a level above anyone else. On one round Reptile started firing rockets in one direction, and I thought 'yea right that's a waste of rocket spam,' but sure enough an enemy scout ran right up through where his rocket spam was, right as the rockets landed and the scout died.
