I think there are a few problems of perception in the larger tf2 community that lead to a lot of these near-uncoachable people.

There's the whole meme thing, which, whatever, we can't do anything about that. Then there are the people who are the same people on r/truetf2 who make threads like "HELP I ALREADY HAVE 70 HRS ON SCOUT AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE A GREAT PLAYER YET WHAT AM I DOING WRONG". We need to stress that, even as a newbie, it's probably better to have a basic level of competence in tf2 before starting comp tf2. Then there's the hardware/game customization stuff, it's really important that we make tutorials and the like about that as well so people know that someone with 10 fps prolly won't be amazing at this game. Finally, I think there's a serious problem where we liken being new to tf2 with being childlike and we coddle people too much. If the person I'm coaching is like 18+, I'm not going to treat him like an unruly 6 year old. I expect a certain level of maturity from people who aren't like 12, regardless of how long they've spent clicking polygons.

the return of nomadiccccc???

I hope you're not insinuating that this is the wrong way to take solo ubers d;^{D~

I'm still trying to make this team thing work out but if it doesn't I suppose I will be on the market. I'm looking for a high IM or (dare I say it???) lowish invite team to call my own.

At this point I have no idea if I'd do better as demo or pocket, depends on the team prolly. I like heals on both, but try to use those heals to make the game go well for all my friends. I like to main call and to do a bunch of nerdy out of game map reviews and stuff, you know the sort of things they do in real esports!!! Seriously, though, one thing I think I'm actually pretty good at is getting a (cooperative) team to improve and work together better over the course of a season.

Available every day until like 11:00-11:30 est because I work full-time and I need my beauty sleep.

[also might have an IM roster tee hee]

yight was an alias of pwner, then bullet started using it, THEN circa used it on esea once

we all have a lil bit of yight in us

dflame seems rather happy about your ban doesnt he

are there plans to get logs.tf integration with this?

do fairly normal human beings stop going to high school for weeks on end due to social anxiety? and only come back when their parents buy them a $3000 computer as a bribe?

some people in this thread are rather gullible, but luckily it gives me a good segue for this:

remember back in the gotfrag days when everyone just thought shade was a weirdo who stalked other people's mumble channels without saying anything?

yo I might just be a delusional, paranoid weirdo, but doesn't it seem like esea's colorado servers are even worse than most of their servers?

becoming?

caveat: if it gets to viaduct I think luca goers has it

prolly meat market then

luca goers wins if it's on chicago, meat market if it's on dallas
