Obviously there would be some exceptions, I don't know you personally so I can't say, but just from the belief that you don't think you could ever done a better job as a coach,you probably don't have the best attitude for a coach.

For sure obviously not, but someone who has 2 full seasons of ESEA has encountered much more situations involving team coordination and knowing what to do in specific situations then someone who plays highlander lobbies as his primary method of practicing. Sure you can be ridiculously good and never miss and be the best scout, but that's two completely different things then knowing what to do in specific situations.

Handpicking coaches would ideally be the best situation however setting up standards prevents friends who were previously coaches from getting mad at their friends for "getting cut from being a coach" because they are "unworthy".

Overall, newbiemix should be about having fun and learning how to play tf2 at a competitive level. This requires both enthusiastic and knowledgeable coaches.

Well, the point in my opinion is not to be good enough to teach newbies, but good enough to teach anyone and or provide them with alternative ideas and counters to what they did. Sure scout is one of the classes where most problems can be fixed by just hitting meat consistently but there are many alternative routes or things top scouts would do to keep their team alive in a dying push rather than simply running out because of "lack of numbers".

Alot of the coaches are extremely unqualified, and are pretty much to skill level of alot of the noobies coming in. Obviously if you're in top open/IM/invite this isn't you. But there are some coaches with not even a season of esea or as little as 5-10 matches on esea. I don't even have a season of esea and my only experience is pugs and ugc plat 6s and hl and I know some of the calls being made are absolutely horrible. I've also had experiences where the coach either didn't say enough when he was very qualified to be talking, and coaches who have no idea what they are talking about micspamming the whole time telling the team to push mid with 2 players into the other teams 6 simply because we had 10% uber advantage.

At first newbiemix didn't have many players so it was ok to have random coaches who had a general idea of the game to coach but as it's growing to become as large as it has new players should not be coaching.
Long story short, if you have under 2 solid seasons of esea, YOU SHOULDN'T BE COACHING PERIOD. Sure, you might think you are good, but there's no sense trying to coach and feeding the newbies completely wrong information. BACKUP DOES NOT COUNT AS A SEASON, NEITHER DOES GETTING TRASHED CANNED

I don't know why wireless gets so much hate on this forum. Wireless isn't that bad unless you're in a networking environment with tons of other active network devices streaming data to your hub causing interference.

No, setting up your "router" to block an IP through firewall won't do much or anything at all. Most of the the packets won't go to your router brah they will go to your modem. Even if you have a $1000 router you are not safe from ddos since your modem will end up eating all the packets and getting boned.

If your case comes with built in gromits on the mobo pannel for cable management you should probably use them. Using zip ties is also a good tool for making cables which are poorly sleeved look a bit nicer. That tubing route from the h50 looks pretty awful too. Why the heck would you route your 8pin like that. Just some constructive criticism incase you build another rig.
