Feel free to add me on steam and we can chat. :)

So many great players have come from the team drive and I'm very happy to be continuing the drive this season. I myself will be coaching and hopefully some of you consider doing so too.

I'd also like to give my congrats to RGL on Ice, a newbie mix drive team that secured the win in grand finals for RGL Newcomer division. And a congrats to every team that got through the season, especially those that made playoffs.

Really great people working on the streams this season and from what I watched, the coverage was fantastic. Great job to everyone and I'm sure next season will follow :)

insanely dedicated and a huge up and comer. he was the most invested player we had which was at odds with our mostly friend team environment. get him on a team as dedicated as him and they will pound

tony recognize tony. nice guy and seems interested in getting better

Newbie mixes has functioned very well under the current system and I don't see a huge benefit to adding that suggestion since main calling isn't a huge concern to players who are still learning the basics of the game. Plus, maincalling is meant for groups of players that all understand what those calls are and their intended goal and that's not here.

Also I'm having trouble understanding what the goal of a lot of this post is. Seems like you're trying to push for a certain mentality to take hold of competitors but it's a bit naive to assume a post like this would be the encouraging factor to create a "tf2 revolution." Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the interest in pushing the game further but I don't see how this seeks to achieve that.

As far as point 4 is concerned, I don't think you quite understand the level of players that come to newbie mixes. We cater to fresh installs to low seasonal experience and expecting someone to want to main call is just unrealistic. Still, we don't explicitly tell them not to make main calls but no one coming there will be experienced enough to do it confidently in a pug scenario.

On the subject of mentorship and trying to get better, I can tell you that from my experience having coached several teams and being the seasonal drive admin newbie mixes, people starting out playing this game are not going in with the intention of winning, nor are they always crazy concerned about getting better. They appreciate the coaching we give them and many do end up trying a lot, but these guys are merely getting a taste for the competitive side and that's all you can really expect of people. This entire document makes it seem like one of the only real ways to grow the community is for everybody playing to be all about winning and learning and yeah that'd be ideal but ultimately it's just a game and a hobby for most people. Not a lot of people care about the death that's supposedly already shown up because they're in it to have fun with friends more than anything else
