Snake and process aren't on the list of maps.

Having class limits, no damagespread and reserve slots are all forbidden as well.

Started TF2 in beta, I was 31.
Started learning about 6s and getting into it last year at 36.

There's really no easy or obvious transition from pub to competitive at all.
You have to slog through a long learning curve, especially if you don't have someone who already knows what they're doing showing you the ropes.

Not to mention, a lot the community is pretty hard on newcomers and mainly goes to pubs to shit on everyone and then laugh at them. It gives people a pretty negative impression of the comp community that many folks claim to want to grow.

Sorry to the team I had to bail on one of the mixes tonight, my daughter wet the bed just as we were wrangling the last person in.
