Let’s get all eyes on us!

So will you join us on May 26th?
This will be a VERY peaceful protest just reminding everyone that we LOVE this game please don’t send hate towards valve etc.
We will be representing the TF2 COMMUNITY so let’s do it right!
This movement stems from the overwhelming prescense of bots in the game’s online matches, completely ruining player experience. There have been several attempts at fixing this from Valve, but so far, all have been in vain. With continuous chat spam and aimbotting, the community has been longing for this to be fixed for years.
