Well, how many players go straight from pubs to scrims, without playing lobbies?
I could cut out the requirement that the person played lobbies, but what are the odds of a good 6s player who hasn't played Lobbies? It's unlikely from my experience. I am sure there are the rare players who have made the jump like that probably, but I don't think one would randomly stumble on a great player by chance at these forums.

Personally, I went from pubs to HL to 6s mixes/pugs to (now) almost exclusively scrims. I've only ever done like 3 lobbies total, I don't even remember if they were HL or 6s.
I'm not calling myself a good player (I'm waaaaay behind my scouts who are amazing), but I managed to be on an open team without needing lobbies, because lobbies are not an indicator of skill at all. In fact, around here, it's much, much more of a bad thing. Literally better to not mention lobbies at all, and it's understandable why.
My recommendation to you is try not to be so closed minded. Especially at a steel level, there are lots of players around who just need to be given a chance to show they're worth your time. Skill, in my opinion, is a much less important factor than personality and willingness to learn. Team cohesiveness will always go much further than someone carrying your team (to make a contrast).
In my short time, I've come to conclude that the odds of a good 6s player who doesn't regularly play lobbies IS pretty high.
This advice (which, of course, take it from only one perspective) also applies to anyone who ONLY does MGE/DM/mixes/pugs/etc. The only exception I find to this is scrims or ringing (at best).

All right, I will remove that requirement, but I have a feeling that if anyone is going to ask, it's going to be people who've only played in pubs. Fingers crossed I guess.

StarzZLobbies dont really mean anything...
At the very least it proves that a player has had some sort of experience in a 6 on 6 setting. So it really does mean something, even if the people in this forum completely and utterly look down on tf2lobby.

b4nny got picked up by Tyrone from a pub.
Lobbies really don't mean all that much.
I'd be more trusting of someone who has had Newbie Mix experience, if they're new. Besides, I'm sure there are demos who have already played in Steel.

Anyone actually worth picking up should know that lobbies are trash.

Yes, I realize they don't mean the world, but so far the only thing happening in my recruitment thread has been ripping apart that one request to have lobby experience and attempting to nullify the value of Lobby, which I have already removed to appease the naysayers.
It has some value. This is for a Steel team, for UGC. I'm not expecting a lord savior to jump in here and take the position.
Now this thread is probably obliterated from the derailment. I already only had 2 places to post this in and this one got murdered by the anti lobby brigade.

Your thread is fine, don't worry about it. There have been an INCREDIBLE amount of bad threads made in the Recruitment section and yours isn't close.
In fact, you taking advice from the thread to remove the lobbies requirement is a good indicator, IMO. Best of luck.

It's not going really well, only 2 people and one of them had 25 hours as Demo...
