Too Many Open Players, Too Few Open Teams

Lots of players are LFT.

Not many people are LFP.

Pls be leaders. I can understand its really annoying and allot of work but we need more teams in ESEA. Its a big waste that there are so few teams with so many people LFT. Also people who are LFT don't make it hell for leaders.

Post in 1 comment your profile link, Realistic skill division(ie.low open, mid open, high open), and class you wanna play.

This is less convoluted that a bunch of lft threads.

Make some teams so everyone gets to play and support TF2 and show the community leaders and division leaders that we can actually support this community at the lower levels.

TLDR: Pls lead, post here if you aren't on a team, make some teams so people can play tf2.

P.S. I would lead a team but cant play this season due to work ;c. If I could I would as I have for every team I've ever been on. Trust me I know leading is annoying but hopefully everyone can work together on those responsibilities or maybe get some co-leading going or something. Thank You.

As someone that just made a team, it's not as hard as you think. If you're thinking of becoming a leader but need help on where to reach scrims or find people. Add me! I'd be more than happy to help because a week ago I thought it was too hard for me. <3

For those of you considering leading but afraid you won't find teams to scrim, tf.tv has a discord for finding scrims. It should be at the bottom of the page but just in case it doesn't show up for you: https://discord.gg/0if53iRT2W4nyL6t

Hmm if enough people tftv pm me I could put together a team or two for people who want to play. I have no idea how balanced each of the teams would be since I have no way of checking skill. But if you want to get into open and I get enough pms I will put together a team or two and help set it up.

Adding this here for anyone who prefers spreadsheets, I went through the three most recent pages of LFT threads that didn't clearly have some indication that they found a team. Sorry if I missed you.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z3aNWgEYlo2y3ArPlb8xzj37beMsdPR1ZhURx8QyVMA/

You can sort by class (or ctrl+f class, I did a derp and the people who are willing to play multiple classes will only come up as whichever one they most strongly seemed to prefer if you sort by class) or by self-stated skill. Question marks in any cells means that I wasn't sure. Anyone listed as soldier didn't specify which one so I'm assuming they're fair game for both. If it says something like scout/demo and then Mid/Low it means that they ranked themselves mid-open on scout and low open on demo.

I will check back once in a while and add people from this thread to the list or remove people if they tell me they found a team.

don't know why you're being downvoted, there's a lot of responsibility with leading a team that can take a toll on someone who isn't prepared. If players have an argument, it's your job to fix it. If the team isn't doing good enough, it's your job to push everybody to improve. It's your job to convince everybody to demo review and be timely for scrims. It's your job to calm people down when they're tilting or making trouble. Depending on if you have a scheduler it's probably your job to schedule scrims and matches too.

Yes, leading a team provides amazing player experience and teaches you a lot about being the rope that ties a team together. It also makes you much closer to your teammates because when they think of the team they think of you. And if you're passionate about the game then leading a team can be very rewarding and fun. But just remember that there will be a lot of dumb shit to deal with, and don't let it get the best of you if you do it.

you guys think way too much about team leading lol

getting 6 people who like tf2 together on a reasonable schedule isnt that hard as long as none of them are literal children and the rest is all just basic social interactions

if you are playing primarily with 14 year olds then i can see how team leading would be frustrating

Well yeah, if your team doesn't have any dummies then it's a self sustaining system. I just imagine the large quantity of low open LFT's are people who fall within the 14-18 socially developing status. Seasoned LFT players don't have much excuse to not try setting up a team if they haven't before and are still searching.

the tricks to leading a team successfully:

1. set a scrim schedule, make sure everyone knows it. stick to it as much as possible.

2. schedule scrims whenever possible ahead of time. this will make it so you waste no time looking for scrims that you've set aside for scrims.

3. keep a clear line of communication open with your team about when they can/can't show up, if more than 2 players can't play any given night, its usually not worth scrimming with 2 ringers.

4. schedule matches on esea ASAP and tell everyone when matches are scheduled for. this prevents last minute panic while you frantically try to re-schedule matches the day of.

5. have at least one backup who can play and have him be your "dedicated ringer", keep players added to ask for ringers.

6. you're going to lose games, not getting upset and accepting the loss as a team together will prevent you from dying.

I ran a team with 18-20something year olds, I even had a nerd sheet where everyone could mark which days they could play on. Some of them would mark a day as green, I'd schedule a scrim they would just be offline. So it's not really about age, it's about much how they're dedicated to tf2, and at lower divs, the level of dedication ain't that impressive.

Anyways, being a team leader IS work since you have to spam people and remind them of scrims/officials and find mercs if they don't show up but it's not insanely hard or unfun. I guess it's even easier in NA since people actually pay to play so they take things more seriously, so don't be scared of it.

There are few things that are worse (in the social aspects of videogaming) than leading a team that gruadually lost interest in playing the game and you have to drag them into mumble to play games.

I was tired of being in the LFT situation described here, so last weekend I decided I'd lead a team. There are so few teams LFP that the quality of players you can find for your team is really good, this is a great opportunity to pick up good players with good personalities because you have a lot of options.

edit this probably also means you can take me off the list, thanks mallory :)

Starting a team can be intimidating, especially if you're new to playing in open. It helps if you already know someone and you guys can help each other out, bounce ideas to each other, share duties, etc. If you're going to be a leader, just be understanding of people's issues, as you ideally want to create an environment where people are going to want to show up most nights and just play games together. If you're just playing on a team, strive to be accommodating and low-maintenance for others on your team as it'll just make everything so much smoother for everyone involved.

If you can be a part of a team that all want to play and improve together, it's an EXTREMELY rewarding experience and if you think you have what it takes to bring 6 people together as a leader, just go for it. I led a highlander team a couple seasons ago so I understand the stresses of getting 2 teams to fill a server, and at the time, I did think it kind of sucked. But I still think it was worth it now. I take a lot of pride in that I was able to finish the season out and it helped me make connections that I likely wouldn't have made otherwise. I've also helped lead my 6's team while in open and that was a MUCH better experience. If you're leading, set realistic goals for yourself and just try your best!

I really want to see this community thrive and the sustained health of open is necessary for this. If any new open players or teams want someone to help them with general questions, specific team questions, map reviews, or player/team demo reviews (specifically scouts), I'd be more than willing to help anyone when I have the time. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198042954691/

don't captain your first season of ESEA or 6s. You'll get upset and not know how to handle it and probably kill your team
don't captain if you're not good at communicating or working with people long term
don't captain if you still have problems as a player when it comes to tilting

leading a team brings out the absolute worst parts of yr online personality and you'll very quickly get a reputation as "that guy" if you're barely keeping yourself together while trying to coordinate 5 other people barely keeping it together

I made pretty much all of these mistakes my first and even my second season, and I very well came close to killing the team multiple times. I think that experience though made me grow as a person much faster than just being on a team would have, and I can only thank my teammates for putting up with my incompetency

I think that experience though made me grow as a person much faster than just being on a team would have, and I can only thank my teammates for putting up with my incompetency

eeedon't captain your first season of ESEA or 6s. You'll get upset and not know how to handle it and probably kill your team
don't captain if you're not good at communicating or working with people long term
don't captain if you still have problems as a player when it comes to tilting

Yo any of the people who rated themselves as new to ESEA or Low-Mid open who are willing to lead, message me, I'll help you get set-up as an impromptu newbie team "drive" and I'm willing to help you through issues over the course of the season (I've lead something like 5 separate teams over two years, so even though I'm still bad at games I think I'm a pretty experienced team leader).

I think there might be two or three teams that could be put together from that spreadsheet and from combing through the LFT threads some more. This is gonna be very crunchy though (unless the deadline gets extended again) so, expect to have to make decisions fast.

ETA: I can provide my mumble and server tomorrow for these tryouts between 8:30 and 11:30. Can probably still give the mumble on Tuesday but I will have my own scrims so no server. I can probably find another one though.

ETA2: I want to do this because last season I played on a newbie low open team and it was the best experience I had by far so, I'd like to give other people the opportunity to play with some cool people and learn a lot.
