Hello everyone,

I started playing Tf2 about a year ago and I am now at the point where I get kinda bored of pubbing and want to get into competitive Tf2.

http://hl.lethal-zone.eu/index.php - For HL pickups (fairly inactive as far as I know)
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/9v9colony - Colony Steam Mix Gather, double mixes on a daily or weekly basis, keep in mind this is fairly higher level and a lot of div1-2 HL players hang around here

As for leagues
Wireplay is probably the to-go league atm, because its active and expanding a lot-
The main league is still etf2l.
UGC is also big but not as big as etf2l

If you've truly "never" played competitive, i think the 9v9 colony mixes are a little too early (although some are listed as "any" div). Many use tf2lobby to kinda get used to the format, but the overall experience there varies greatly from player to player. You should put up a div 6 recruitment post on etf2l, try to get some contacts. Play some mixes etc, get familiar with the scene. Get yourself a microphone if you don't have one already and practice following comms etc.

Also remember you can play sniper in 6s as well, perhaps not full-time but i recommend you to really try both formats and decide afterwards what is preferable to you.

This highlander newcomer guide http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=163882605 explains it way better than i do, and it was made by our trusted HL league admin in etf2l ;)
