Greetings awesome competitive Community!

My name is Goat and that is only because I'm not creative at all when it comes to Usernames! :)

Since 2 or 3 months I have been getting more and more into competitive tf2. I am main scout and I'm looking to play in the next season in ETF2L (6's). I have played some Tf2lobby.com (~35 games and getting more) and did mostly well and didn't get crushed. I also am playing around 30 minutes a day of mge and I'm feeling like I am improving constantly which is a great feeling!

Now I have still some problems with my aim and would have a few questions to you future mentor!
I am a very talkative guy and am always talking on mumble when I'm playing lobbies, I know most callouts and call basicly everything I see :)

I also get told that I need this thing called "game sense" but I think that I'm doing OK even if I often over commit in med picks.

Now you come in future mentor!
I'd prefer if you'd be in the EU, just due to timezones and stuff :~) I can speak both English and German well enough so a coach of either tonque would be appreciated.
From the skill level I think div4 or something around that would be great!

If you are an awesome person and feel like you want to mentor me and help me get better and find a new friend then post here or add me!

Yours sincerely,
Goat

As it was late at night once I wrote the first post, I realized that I should include what a mentor could help me with

Mid fights:
- Badlands ~ I alter between shithouse and valley ( hiding in valley for a second then go for a med/demo pick)
- Granary ~ Taking crates and looking for cleanups/picks if no one is there to pick I just cap mid
- Gully ~ Going flank and try to get to their flanks once safe then show up behind for picks (You'd be surprised how many meds I get that way :D )
- Process ~ Almost only going through choke protecting combo or go clean up with roamer
- Snake ~ Not really a clue :c

Basic Strategy and Movement:

- Often to aggressive and over committing!
(PoV's I recorded don't work but will supply some once I get my new headset!)
- Due to playing lobby coordination is hard , I have a div5 roamer buddy who I play with often which makes it easier!
- General "game sense" ~ demo reviewing with me

1v1 Scout and Solly:

- Some movement problems in scout 1v1
-> Dodging too much makes me miss almost all my shoots
- Get always destroyed on Solly v Scout
-> Need general tips!

Yep a long list but most can be covered quickly ~ Only the map specific things will take longer.
If you want to help a new comp player out then let me know by posting here and adding me! :)

Greetings Goat.

This is an overview of my deficits. I know my problems and want to improve them!

Try playing pugs or with a team instead of lobby, you won't pick up as many bad habits and the players will be a huge upgrade from tf2lobby. There isn't any coordination in tf2lobby and you'll get away with a lot that wouldn't happen when you play a real team.

your 1v1 will just come with time. Dm and mge a ton and everything will get better.
Scout v Soldier is good for hitting things while you dodge because of soldier's slow movement speed.
Good luck.

lamefxif you're looking for pickup games in EU try www.tf2pickup.net

friend told me about this site but to quote from it:
"div5 or higher skills"

Haven't found any other Eu pug site :/
And to your post Kapoww:
Almost same as above no EU plugging site that I know of that is available for me as not being in a div yet.
For the 1v1 part:
I know there is something I ain't doing right, I don't really get a good consistent play when 1v1'ing.
Also what is the difference from DM to MGE?
I only played mge so far (a lot though)

Thanks for both of your posts!

If you don't feel up to playing in a pug just yet then you should try out a mix group, they're good for learning the basics of how to work as a team and the importance of co-ordination.

Mix groups:
Try this group for a relatively small and informal group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/nlpg
Or this for a bigger one: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/6v6newmix

As a follow up to this:
My main problems (are as written above) not my skills in games, more map specific things and on what to do in specific situations. This is what I hope a mentor could help me with so I first the theory part then the practical part. In my eyes that makes you improve the most! Just playing even with a prem team does barely directly my problems. :)
