Can someone link me to a direct map download? I'm having trouble with all of my steam workshop subscriptions and would like to take a look at the map

Now I have a dark theme for both ESEA and TF.TV? FeelsGoodMan

Please let us know what time and day you are available to pug, would like to host more and it'd be good to know what nights are best for people to show up!

We now have a command on TF2Maps.net's Steam chat bot! If anyone is here from the mapping community, you can find server and mumble info by typing "/Pugsinfo" into the steam chatroom for TF2Maps.net. Huge shoutout to Fantasmos for doing this for us, hoping it brings some mappers into the comp community :)

Also, we have moved mumbles in order to accommodate more than 20 players at a time. The new server info is:
Address: mumble.accelerateservers.com
Port: 64871

We are not associated with that group or thread directly, only referenced it in our OP so people knew what we were going for

she got a body like an hourglas : what is an esea :)?

Pound soldier, great friend. Sucks to see him not playing in high open/ low IM as a main next season, but hopefully he learns a lot from subbing!

Pugs were super successful tonight, really happy about the attendance and feedback people have for maps! Thanks to everyone who showed up, as well as map makers for providing a lot of the maps we played! I will be DMing all map makers their feedback spreadsheets through Steam or tf.tv directly. Looking forward to next weekend!

Pugs are starting again, connect if you want to play several newly added maps!

No need, added to the map list!

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate all of the support we're getting from the community. I've seen the group mentioned in quite a few places, and am glad to see people open to trying out our group!
Edit: Link to TF2Maps.net Thread

I've tried this idea before, and it's unappealing to most players as they're playing maps that have usually been long gone from the 6s map rotation and are usually gone for good reason. The majority of players don't seem to want to play older maps due to both the unappealing thought of playing an old map with the massive playstyle change that's happened in the years since that map's release or because it just doesn't benefit anyone if it's never going to be in rotation again.

I mention adding a map like Gravelpit because while its playstyle is very different to today's TF2, I feel like it definitely provides some much needed diversity in the TF2 map pool, and would be a nice example of a map that showcases team coordination, rotation, and a more fluid class choice over today's cp_whatever. That's not to say the majority of cp maps are poorly designed (quite the contrary, props to mapmakers like chojje and Phi), just that it would be very nice to see other gamemodes integrated into 6vs6.

The point of this group is really more of trying out some different maps (mostly new) to see if they'd be fun to run in the current map pool provided we use ESEA configs and whitelists.

Yea, only having 4 maps to play and having pugs start later at night has reduced both the map pool and the maps played per night. I plan on experimenting to see how early/late I can host though I'll probably settle somewhere in the 9:00-9:30 range. Just figured I'd keep it later during the HL season as to not host during typical scrim times/nights and attract less people. I have thoughts on maybe adding gravelpit to the map rotation as well as any maps that are recommended through the map submission survey, but maybe that would be insane :P
