Welcome back redi
I can definitely relate to reading some of my older posts and feeling like an asshole! Even if a lot of the time you still believe in your perspective, just not the words you chose to voice it.
A little update on a few things that has happened since I came back myself in August:
A major update and follow up hotfix to the game:

The Worms Roper league ran by the W2 community merged with another league called Worms League which was ran by Syc and others, and now that has disbanded from what i've been told.
TUS has seen a recent surge in activity over the past 1-2 months and hopefully that continues. Even Deadcode the legend himself is actively playing TUS!
Masta beat blitzed(dibs) in a very awesome Final of the "Summer Big RR Cup" which was streamed on my Twitch
Tade won CWT 2020.
Intermediate is kicking off and becoming very active and competitive - I started streaming CWT regularly when the Playoffs kicked off, during streaming I had co-commentators like Dario, TheWalrus, Crespo, Dr.Abegod.
During CWT some of the old champions returned such as Dario & chuvash and who are now absolutely kicking ass in
Open Normal League - ONL as well as some other returning legends like Terror and SirGorash.
Chicken23 has returned as well and is becoming hooked to Intermediate and hopes to compete in CWT 2021, and several other great players are training.
CWT 2021 this year is going to be popping off something insane at this rate! If we could just get Mablak back the trio of legendary champs would be complete!
Open Normal League, DiscordCrespo's Worms Tournament, DiscordSo if strategic schemes are your thing, you would enjoy the competitive activity in the Intermediate community right now.
I am personally trying to stream all the important Playoffs, Tournament/Cup finals for all skilled Leagues for WA in general, regardless of the scheme, on my twitch channel if you are interested in that sort of thing.

Mole Shopper is also quite popular right now if you want some serious competition and enjoy that scheme. They have a World Cup underway(I lost the URL unfortunately) and they have an active Cup going on right now -

Shtaket has been breaking a fair number of Masta's Big RR records! I personally find this very impressive, and also I actually need to approve his latest records.
Deadcode & Korydex have been posting fascinating data regarding old replays. Korydex also posted a lot of stuff about Worm Olympics but I cannot remember where it is...
MonkeyIsland is working on updating the TUS website as well as building a mobile app.
We had some sad news recently that one of our own WormNET legends in his own right "Bytor" passed away due to Covid19 complications. He introduced many players to the Intermediate/Normal scheme over the years. There is an announcement on the ONL website. A number of players who knew him have been posting memories and messages on Discord and ONL website in tribute.
