I feel like picking up some go-to scrim partners around our skill level has been really good for the growth of the team. I urge teams do something similar. If you're high open and you're consistently 5-0'ing the other Open teams in IRC, try playing against IM teams. If you're low open and are getting rolled by other teams, try to find teams in similar situations.

If you're playing teams with a huge skill gap because "no one else in IRC" you either should be more patient or add some other team captains, because you'll improve a lot faster and demo reviews will be a lot more effective if the games are somewhat close.

Even when we lose most of our matches/scrims, I'm still having a blast compared to my time in UGC.

my team got screwed, IMO i feel that our team has the hardest schedule of the first 8 games, comparatively at least, as we are a low-mid open team and our schedule is composed of mainly high open teams. literally so many high open teams to face, and of course we have to face syops and nnn on viaduct, a DM heavy match, rip, hopefully after we get fucked by our schedule, our last 8 games will be significantly easier.

thesupremecommanderI'm exactly as bad as I said I was. Maybe even more.

I didn't come into this season expecting to win a match at all, but actually getting crushed as badly as we are really saps your motivation. It doesn't help that we have a stretch of over two weeks in which we won't expect to win a single round, let alone come close to winning a match. I've been told that the second half of the season will be easier when we get matched with teams with similar records, but that doesn't exactly reassure me with how we've been doing.

Jesus, sounds like our season

My team has lost all our matches so far but I think we've really improved from where we were. I think the biggest issues my team has are morale and communication. I just hope we can stick together and work on our weaknesses. Losing and bad ESEA servers aren't fun, but I still think I'm better off than I was in UGC. Even if our performance this season won't be the best, I believe in my team for the rest of this season and hopefully more to come. To any other teams out there who are in a similar boat of getting 5-0'd in matches, I hope you stay together and believe as well.

me and kuestif went like 1-7 after our first 8 matches but we actually had a reasonably fun 2nd half of season (excluding the dumb ffw's), got a few teams we were even against, faced some teams we could beat and honestly that was some of the most fun ive had (the whole season)

I kind of feel like I'm holding my flank down because I never have a clear idea of when I should play more aggressively, and in turn, that leads to me not giving them as much support as they should be getting. A second problem I have is I have a small tunnel vision problem and at times do not help my scout partner or roamer kill whoever they're shooting.

What can I do to get out of the mindset I seem to have in my first problem, and what can I do to force myself to focus more on helping my flank and who they're hitting?

Look, I would feel sorta bad about that, but it's not like it's a secret that the Wrangler is banned in every league.

Yeah, at first I thought it was silly that it was overturned but then I watched the demo I found out he used it against your uber in the second round so the admins were right to overturn it.

as team leader for a 100% new open team, i feel like ive made every single esea mistake there is to make. like, i accidentally registered my alt to my esea account. i was in esea limbo for a week after chilling on my friends' team to boost their player count on jan 5th. one name change every 30 days?? who let me be leader so i could change the name anyway??
i'm also on the team that lost due to the wrangler overturning an OT match, like, double of stupidly heartbreaking.

im not new to open im basically still in ugc. mana, i liked your guide, but if you ever need tips on what idiot ugc players really don't know and end up wishing they did, i'm a walking encyclopedia guide at the point

that being said, i'm having fun and o think our quest to be the middest mid open team ever created is still attainable if we put in the effort, so gung ho.
