Hello everyone~
Big thanks to all of the people that provided servers for the Newbie Mixes yesterday! The tragic servers were down due to me waking up in 5 in the afternoon, being unable to reach tragic, the best server provider evar! If it weren't for Scoutaloo, Shinyjesus, Turbolicious, Jaguar, Mama huff, Cyen, z4ch, nuker, fooby, wreath.it, and the other lovely server providers, the Newbie Mixes would have been canceled. As usual, big thanks to the coaches and the newbies for showing!
On a different topic: How did you guys like the first official Newbie Pugs?

From my perspective, the NEwbie PUGs were eh, ok. Maybe I am under estimating the level of people in 'Newbie PUGs', but i figured, and i think other people did as well, it would consist of higher leveled people. According to the others on my team, I was the 3rd or 4th person to come in and sub, because the "previous 3 didn't even know rollouts, or competitive in the whole."
I think its a good idea to have, but if you are going to have un-coached PUGs, you need to have some skill level, so people who know comp. can play, and people who are still learning would play with coaches. This is just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure that the Newbie Pugs are meant for people that know enough to get by, while the Mixes are obviously for teaching the basics.
If people who don't know what they're doing play in the Pugs, then there's a problem. Although I don't know if it can really be solved, as people will add themselves to the Pug channels thinking they're good enough.
