Safrix to give up and play demo again before the season even starts.

Also that gif reminds me of this old osu group called the bandits lol

it'd be a season long effort probably to teach you everything they want you to know/be able to do.

so you'd probably benefit from getting experience on basically any team you can get that's not gonna die, which means lowering your expectations from mid-high to low-mid teams.

Also I can understand why it's hard to find a team to get the experience you need to find a team, which is why suggestions like making your own team or joining newbie mix teams are really good.

For example with myself and a few friends, we pretty much knew we were nobodies, so we tested the waters with our own sixes team, called it egg salad dressing, worked our asses off and eventually made our existence known, which led to tryouts for some of our members for s23, now that the team has sadly parted.

Hoping to get the easy route of landing a spot on an established team right off the bat with no history is honestly something that could only come through a ton of raw talent, a ton of luck, or a ton of circle jerking.

Something I've learned about playing in the tf2 community though is that networking as a social skill actually is important, even if you don't view it that way. Make friends, join pugs and try and make sure people get a good feeling for how good you are as a player and as a person.

good luck.

Whoah I should have posted in here sooner.

Yellow was the player on ESD we could count on to not feed and not rush things and be the last person to lose his level-headedness.

He has really low deaths, but generally still puts up solid numbers. He's a pretty rock solid combo demo, who doesn't even need a lot of heals, so while you won't really see him going for insane plays too often, you can count on him to do his job, quietly and as efficiently as he can manage.

Long story short you never have to worry about what he's doing, and he only needs a confident main caller to urge him on and frag, because he does have some confidence issues.

Please at the very least put him on a nice, high open team, easily the friendliest gamer on ESD.

Make a team with me daff

this isn't me nooooooooo

why

I bet there's a really good reason and you're gonna feel like an asshole when they explain.

lol

E: @both how do you guys deal with long flights, you plan to sleep or otherwise?

Hearts has killed me with more traps than any other demo I can think of.

He's also a solid player and imo underrated, his dm is nothing to scoff at and he is as keith said, quietly one of the best demos from last season

How do I fix the purple textures on much of the floor on mid and underneath second?

So at this point I have 2 seasons of esea under my belt, but I still very much feel that there's a lot I can improve on that I probably don't even know about, so I'd like to bump this again in hopes of finding a pocket mentor, as my previous mentor has gone off to pursue real life things.

There's a lot I want to say about keith that I feel if I didn't say wouldn't accurately encompass who he is, having known him for so long, but for the purposes of just an lft, it boils down to

• he's a very very good scout, it might seem like other scouts have better dm, but he's smarter than all of them (his dm is fantastic anyways)
  
• flip a coin for whether or not he replies to your steam messages
  
• he's intensely dedicated, extremely bent on pushing himself to be the very best he can possibly be, and then will push himself further.

jynx is really quite good, and I was eyeing him as a potential pickup even before S21 ended when he was playing for LF2DGF

he mge's a ton, has stellar dm and movement, on top of that he frequently uses his brain and actively cares about playing better

my only complaints are that he keeps asking me to watch prison school with him, and that he lives in a totally different time zone when it comes to his sleep schedule :^)

edit: woops

Hey, looking to play soldier for a high open team that really wants to win
I’m thinking my schedule should finally be clearing up after this semester ends
