I've been playing TF2 for a while now, mostly pubs. I'm interested in playing better players in a more serious format, so I've been starting to play a bit in PUGs, Newbie Mixes, and Lobbies. I like the 6s format, but if I'm honest I have to admit that I'm terrible at 6s- I haven't played it enough to have a very good idea of what to do. What I hear from people better than me is consistently "Your DM isn't terrible, but you should be playing on a team in order to get better at 6s."
I'm interested in forming a team of people at around my level to play in the next season of Open. We'd be the worst team in Open. We'd probably start off at a UGC Steel level. But I imagine that we would improve more playing against Open teams than we would playing against Steel teams.
So I'm looking for people who are in that intermediate zone between stomping pubs and playing 6s competently, are willing to commit to an Open team for one season, and who want to get better. You must have a thick skin, and be OK with the fact that we will get stomped, over and over, before we get better.
If you're interested and broke I can likely cover some of the league fees.

u definitely need a pyro main in order to be a low open team, i have good friend named cole who would be willing to run full-time pyro in the offseason in order to get your 6s team better! just ask around on the forums and im sure he will pop up, hes already played on the worst teams in open so you wouldnt have to ask twice! good luck and have fun

Thanks for the offer- I think we'd be trying to play as if we were better than we were though, and running the normal 6s meta. A good Scout who could off-class to Pyro when needed would be great, but I think I am missing an inside joke here... I've lurked on these forums for a while, and I do vaguely remember Cole. Anyway, thanks for the bump.

It's funny that you posted this thread because I had a similar idea. What I wanted to do was get a couple seasons of experience then form an open team specifically for people who don't have league experience.

Well let's form a team then- I'm pretty sure I've played with/against you in DM servers and in at least one PUG. My impression was that we were in the same ballpark in terms of DM, though I do sometimes overrate myself ;).
I do think going straight to Open would be the best thing, assuming our egos could take it. But I'd be open to discussion on that.

hey man, just in case you haven't been told enough: it's great that you are starting in open. it will make you improve a lot quicker and while it will be tough, if you are serious about improving, it's the way to go.
best of luck.

Thanks, I'd like to. It's just a matter of finding 6 players and some subs willing to get stomped on ;). I can cover the fees for people for whom that is the barrier, as long as they are serious about playing.

You are definitely missing a dumb inside joke. Cole is the guy who has a quote stack saying something about pryo being the devil.

Hello, I would like to play on your team as the medic. I will stick to it no mater how bad we are and how many times we get steamrolled. Add me (I might have added you) if you would like to talk further. Thanks!

Yeah, I've lurked here long enough that I vaguely remember that. Thing is I didn't care, at all, at the time. I knew it was a dumb inside joke, but I still don't care.
Also, apparently a lot of people would like to play on the worst team in open. And none of them are Demomen.
