I wanted to create a comprehensive collection of material on the internet regarding competitive TF2 for players new to the game, thought it might be worth sharing on here.
Since most of the people frequenting these forums are already pretty involved in the competitive scene, I don't know how useful this will be to you personally, but you could maybe link it to a friend you're introducing to TF2 or help out a new player you met in a lobby that appears to be struggling. I hope I included as many helpful links as possible, but since it's likely that I'm going to forget something, please feel free to add anything that you deem to be valuable. Many guides are similar to each other and might thus be repetitive, but I wanted to include as many resources as possible to give new players a big arsenal of information to sift through. I felt like missing some important information that might only be included in one of them would be worse than having a bit of redundancy.
Big thanks to everybody in the TF2 competitive community who has created these guides to help out newer players. When I started to play comp, many of these were really helpful to me and I hope others can profit from them, too.
If someone for whatever reason does not appreciate me linking their content in this thread, please tell me (post here/add me) and I'll make sure to immediately remove it.
Thanks for reading, hope this helps some people out!

The aim of the site is not to work only as a wiki but also as a indexer/compilations of external resources and guides in the game

KhanTF2KanecoGreat work, just want to add that most of those resources are listed on the relevant pages on comp.tf
The aim of the site is not to work only as a wiki but also as a indexer/compilations of external resources and guides in the game
comp.tf is a really great site and I plan on making sort of a "relevant sites" section so people can check it out themselves. Didn't know that it features other guides as well, but maybe some of the above are not included (yet). My goal was to have a huge compilation of informative material that I could link to people instead of saying "yeah this marxist guy does some pretty cool stuff and you could go to comp.tf and uhh..."
Well, we (I mainly) try to compile the best resources in the relevant pages.
If you check for example the get started
, badwater or the roamer page, you can find plenty of resources from external sites for that content. Its not done for every page mainly because it has been kind of a lone effort from me and a couple other people.

Added as well, thank you. I thought about making a section for scripting/hud editing tutorials at first, but since the list is already pretty huge, I'll probably refrain from doing so. However, I feel like your guide on choosing a hud fits in very well. I also plan on linking to your channel in the pov/analysis/demo-review section, always found your insights very interesting and helpful

Hoolis Team Cohesion Guide has finally been added, going to add some more stuff in the following days when I find the time
Hoolis Team Cohesion Guide has finally been added, going to add some more stuff in the following days when I find the time
Updated the posts, added new category "povs/analysis/demo reviews" and some other stuff as well. I know I probably forgot a ton of people, just tell me who/what and I'll add it. Same goes for "Teamwork" and "Main(Calling)", I'd like to have some more material there. I know there are some great guides/videos out there, but I can't for the life of me remember where. Would be great if someone could help out.
Next category to be added is Broadcasts.

- finally got around to fixing the formatting that was screwed up by the tftv site update, I expect readability to be a bit improved and the whole thing to be less cluttered
- added some more links and videos, including material on soldier, scout, medic, general play and maps
- added new category "Leagues", included some smaller communities as well
As always, if you would like anything added (since I am probably still missing a big amount of awesome stuff), just link it here/add me/message me.
