You don't need a mentor for sniper because there is very little game-sense to learn and you can't verbally teach someone how to aim.

If you want to play sniper you should be focusing a lot on improving your aim. You don't need a mentor for this, but here's a rough guide to accelerate your learning and is basically stuff you will figure out over time.

How to aim like a champ:

1. Good gear won't make you better, but it will limit how good you can be. If you don't already have a good mouse, shop around for something from SteelSeries/Razer/Zowie/Logitech. Do your research, more DPI is not better. Don't buy a laser mouse. Make sure your setup isn't awful. A good chair and a proper desk will do a lot for you. Monitor is less important and keyboard is even less important, but still make a difference. Consider them luxury items.

Upgrades in order of important:
Mouse > Pad > PC > 120hz Monitor > Keyboard > Headset

2. Sensitivity
You'll hear a lot of different opinions on this from people who don't really know what they're talking about. If you're new to playing competitively, don't buy the "uses whats comfortable" phrase. If someone is new to FPS what's comfortable for them is probably a 5 cm/360. Anywhere between 20-40 cm/360 is a good range for arena style FPS. Experiment, find what works for you and is conventional, and stick with it. If you're going to use something unconventional, you've probably been around long enough to know what's what and what's best for you.

3. Practice Practice Practice efficiently. Spending half an hour in scout vs scout MGE will likely help you more than 3 hours of pubbing will. MGE -> DM -> Newbots(scout). Pubs are okay (but not optimal) as long if you're playing on fast paced maps like harvest/badlands. Play to improve, not to get the most frags. K/D doesn't matter.

Stick to this and you'll be invite/plat in no time. gl mate

try borderless w/ aero on and see if it helps

Try turning off AV/Firewall and see if it works, also try +clientport 27016 in your launch options.

I had this problem a long time ago and changing the clientport worked for me, eventually the problem fixed itself.

Amazing

I don't think there's a way to center it in-game, you can turn it into a HUD crosshair and then manually center it which will fix the problem.

I believe Fog's crosshair "y" is the same as the default, the other method would be making the crosshair into a .vtf file and adding it to your hudlayout.res (http://teamfortress.tv/thread/9842/rainbow-konr-wings-for-everyoneimage-to-crosshair)

Nearly all of the built in TF2 crosshairs are going to be off by a few pixels, there's not much you can do other than trying to resize it and hope it centers or turn it into a HUD crosshair.

excellent

you cant use lightboost and black equalizer at the same time (it doesnt really help imo)

you can only use black eq when youre on 1 of the "fps profiles"

i love u guys

dota is bad for your health kids

great job :)

the old quake dm servers were a lot of fun but i think people stopped playing on them, does the competitive pub server have item restrictions?

when does the open beta start?

Good tool to test out the different switch types:

Blacks are identical to reds except they require ~25% more pressure for the key to actuate so it would be good for someone who is more forceful with their keystrokes.

I've tried out o-rings on my friends keyboard with mx blues and it was much more quiet, they also reduce the distance for the key to bottom out when you press it down all the way so that could be good/bad.
