My name is Keith Smerbeck, lend me a minute of your time.
In two days I am moving into a new 'gaming' house per se, with intention to stream heavily/play serious TF2 again. This is mega-exciting for me because the first time in 4+ years I'm going to have wired internet, fiber optic actually with 130mbs download/30mbs upload. (Streams gonna look gorgeous, very psyched.)
Because I do graphic design work for a theatre/ESL tutoring I more or less can make my schedule whatever I need it to be. For this reason I am playing ETF2L and playing in euroland in the afternoons (gasp), I have some trials/potential things lined up so I'm quite excited but since I've made the decision that I want to focus on TF2 in the near future this also leads to more ideas:
Come night time in America I still want to play TF2, and I want to play at the top level. This means invite. I realize my timing may be off in regards to who has medics this season, but I am throwing the thought out there.
You can catch the thought if you want, you can toss it right back, you can juggle it a little bit before slamming it into the ground, in the end it's your decision.
Am I trying to replace someone/step on someone's toes? No, I cannot control what happens with teams though.
Can I jam at a top level/who I am to even insist that I can? I know that I can, but there is only one way for you to find out. Worst case scenario you have a funny story about the idiot mong you decided to trial.
You realize this means you will be playing TF2 for hours and hours a day? Yes I do; and if not now, then when?
My services will be available, I now have the time and internet to take this game seriously again. I will already be playing competitive TF2 in the afternoons in some facet so I can sit patiently and wait for something at a top level, it's no rush to me. I'm not 100% against the prospect of backing up, but my bones truly ache to game.
I am not hard to find if you'd like to talk.
(This was the most serious post I've made in years, dear god I need to go shower to shake this feeling.)
