I play TF 2 recreationally, but I'm tired of random pub server/no team play gaming.
My most fun games are with coworkers. We have a group of up to twelve decent gamers (some play way to much, some use to work for video game giants). We have played 45m to an hour for the most of the last 2 years and a half. 4-5 days a week. I also play at home, but lately I'm not liking the pub play.
I'm usually a good asset to the team in terms of positioning, communications and team play.
I've been listening to the eXtine's commFT youtube channel for the past two years and watching league gameplay. And reading around leagues and e-sports for a while.
I<d like to try, maybe play on a few practice, be cannon fodder at worst and actually help others and learn to be better.
My two main classes, where I can contribute the more in terms of damage and strategic plays. are Soldier, Demo, Medic on a 6s format. Otherwise I like to play them all, but suck the most at sniper.
I'm a Programmer who's been solving problem and leading team for a while now (10 years plus). But I know when to shut up and take criticism. I also got 3 kids ;)
I even got a esea premium account for looking around for PUG, but man those forum are a complete desert...

just a tip dont pay for esea unless you have an actual team to play with cause other than that there really isnt a point, no one uses ESEA pugs because the servers are usually terribad.

Glad to hear you are deciding to make the jump!
Quick pointers include:
- If you're comfortable with IRC, go to tf2.mix and pug.na To find pugs, People might harass you for being new but ignore them since their wont be many.
- There is a group on steam called Newbie Mix's (iirc) And would highly advise taking them up as they have extremely capable coaching who can help you wet your feet without all the pressure of having to be good right off the bat.
- Other possibilities to warming benches is to consider looking for a UGC steel team, or even just trying to get a starting spot on an open team. Just because you're new to the scene doesnt mean you cant find a team of individuals like yourself to improve and get chemistry. As you know, the only way to improve is to immerse yourself in it!
If you need any help with anything at all feel free to add me on steam and ill do everything i can to help make this as easy and fun a transition as possible!
Most of all remember to have fun! If you're not, you're not doing it right!
