Before i start, i just want to say that as a gamer (especially a retired one) it is amazing how many people have played ET in this tournament. I just want to mention that this was the first thing that was appealing to me and encouraged me to try and download ET and watch all the matches in the past few days. Respect to you guys and good luck with the future events
I think that the people involved in hosting said LANs should also get a lot of credit, from what i have seen - the ETTV IP posts, the twitch stream performance etc. is amazing. It can only lead to a fantastic viewing experience.
I am going to be straight and try and explain in the best way possible, because i know to most / if not all this is going to be something that gets a lot of negative attention and or responses. I am going to be as constructive as possible and i do not mean to offend anyone in this at all.
In terms of the clan, there are a few things that stand out for me. First let me just say that personally (and this is the part which i know most wont agree with) the clan has to be financially beneficial to join. I know most will say well fuck you, its a dead game now and we dont need that negative reason, but it is the truth. As the game and myself (note that im speaking for a few of my online buddies here too) grows older, priorities change and hence the step back from six hours of Radar prac every day. Personally i cant look at spending time to play a dead game whilst saving for a new grand piano. Let me also just add before i try to make my point that a lot of us and especially me have spent a hell of an amount of time over the past few years on playing clan wars - especially playing with punkbuster lag and those German servers with shit pings, let me just say that playing these types of games arent fun.
I have always looked at the past few clans that I have joined in trying to break even in terms of the time spent praccing. When i say break even - i mean that the cost of praccing is pretty much the same as the enjoyment that you can potentially experience. With this i dont include food / alcohol - as to me it is a luxury to be able to spend my praccing day with people that i have known for years and dont get the chance to play with at all or often.
Anyway, based on the points above i dont see there being a great chance of playing ET anymore based on my time and expenses unless I can find some form of multi gaming clan sponsorship. Regardless and if I don't play, i hope ET is a success and hope none of the above (admins especially) take the constructive criticism i have said personally.

FInd another game.
it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy, you just have to start and it will happen.

Positioning is more important than aim in every competitive FPS though.
Except they aren't effective at all if you're just more mechanically skilled than your opponent. In fact at the highest level, teams that use more ults are more likely to lose.
Only effective against teams with poor positioning
About as broken as an airstrike in ET/RTCW
Idd I agree with the ult fact, you should be able to get through with one / two ults per team fight but sometimes you can even see 3 or 4 (doesnt happen that much on pro games I'd guess) ults, they get through but loose the next teamfight
Anyway, dragon ult is prolly the best ult in game if combo with zarya and they dont have like zenyattas ult to counter it :)
edit: and by perfect i mean character wise, not the whole gameplay wise :D still think the gameplay itself is booring
That's because zarya's ult is one of the best ults in the game though :P Almost every ult is good when combo'd with graviton
True, but that counts for every ult. For example, Nanoboost + Tactical Visor would be just as ineffective if you unload it on a reinhardt shield.
You might have won 5 ECs but I have big punch :)
Try take on Bl4d3 or DirtyHarry
