I'm low-, if that fits the description of a UGC player. I really want to improve and be in ESEA S13 in open and not be a crutch to a team. I just need to work on survivability, mid fights, and what to do during ubers.

Turin I just need to work on survivability, mid fights, and what to do during ubers.

you don't need a mentor! you can work on all of these yourself!

j/k

1. stay close to your medic

2. get to mid and do as much damage without dying.

3. before a game, ask your medic/team what you guys want to do if you (Turin) are ubered.

In all honesty, I don't want a huge commitment from a mentor, just someone to ask for tips and review a demo or two. Add me if you want to help. You don't need to put in much effort, at my level improvement will come pretty quickly.

Get the demos first, then ask for help with examples of specific situations so it only takes 30 minutes of their time, and you may just find some IM/Invite players helping you out.

Imagine you were a skilled painter. Would you rather help someone who says "I'm bad plz halp" or "I am having trouble picking colors for the sky in this piece, how would you figure out what colors would fit in well?" Option 1 gives you nothing to work with, while option 2 shows that they have already put in some effort and want to know the thought process that goes along with the actions and want to get better.
