#18 newbie mixes tonight at 8 EST in TF2 General Discussion

In order to understand what went on with that medic we need to know the side of the coach who was there. Medic is the one class that can completely ruin the newbie mix for the other players and if the medic is completely lost and NOT listening to the coach then I think it's not a problem to tell the guy he should spectate for a little while before he plays anymore medic. He owes that to the people he plays with. The other classes can be compensated for. My view of the Newbie Mixes have always been that they are here to help and teach people how to play 6s properly not just let people play in random PUGs. Its not fair to the other players if everyone is playing the mix trying to learn while listening to the coach and you have someone just wanting to play and do their own thing.

I am curious at how euphy got involved in that situation? How did he randomly detect that there was an issue in a random mix and join to yell at the other coaches? The other coaches didn't try to help the guy at all after the mix and euphy was the only one to swoop in to the rescue?

The only way we can help better the quality of the coaching is if we encourage the Newbie Mix players to give some feedback on the coaches they are playing with so we can start to weed out the bad coaches or elevate the better coaches. It's great that euphy helped in this one instance but personally I think euphy is the type of player who should not be coaching. The guy has little to no real league experience and really doesnt know what he is talking about.
