futureRed_Why don't we get rid of a few tftv hosted servers and start a pub dedicated to advertising comp tf2? Sounds simple but it might be helpful. It appeals to stupid pubbers and gets the message out about comp tf2
I would really like to get involved in something like that, we need something with a basic rotation of cp maps and have folks on there being vocal about everything in regards to the competitive format. This can even apply to highlander, hell, lost continents has been doing it right for god knows how long. You would just need the consistent player base, and with that in mind I think we can accomplish that.
Pro like Chro
Insane like Train

In all seriousness though, Kevin is 100% correct with post #92. I was one of those career 2fort engineers for a lonnngggg time and playing on Pro like Chro is what flipped the switch. Playing against all those good players and seeing amazing things like rocket jumping soldiers, airshots, scouts that could dip and dodge while hitting shots, and snipers hitting crazy air-headshots (fox u da man) inspired me (and many others) to up my own game. Had I never had that realization of how awful I really was at this game, and how much of a gap there was between me and the "average" competitive player, I'm not sure I would've ever even been interested in comp TF2.
For those of you who don't know what Pro like Chro and Insane like Train means, they were TF2 servers years ago where a bunch of competitive players would hang out and pub on competitive maps.
