Welcome to the largest, most diverse learning event in the history of Team Fortress 2.
TF2Stadium is proud to present: The "Masters of Classes" day of TF2 masterclasses. One morning a few weeks ago, BUICK, samiface, ScottJAw, and I were hanging out in a mumble casually discussing ways we could benefit the community and bring different aspects of TF2 together. After about an hour of conversation, the ideas for the "Masters of Classes" event—a name I'm a little bit too proud of—began developing into an actual plan. Here was a way to reach new players who were struggling to get more out of the game. A few weeks and many man (and woman) hours later, here we are! Just a couple weeks from now, we will be hosting the largest learning event in TF2 history.
Here's a list of the classes we will be offering:
*These classes will be streamed on http://twitch.tv/teamfortresstv

If Kevin ever comes to you and says "hey I have this little project, do you want to help", I suggest running in the opposite direction.

Idea sounds amazing; I don't, however understand what signing up for this means and why it is required/limited. Does it mean only people who are signed up and meet the requirements will be able to view the stream? If so, why and how would that even work technically? Or can everyone watch it but only signed up can chat/communicate with the coaches? That would make much more sense?

Signups are for the mumble classes. These are actually masterclasses, so there will be interaction between the students who sign up through the website and the teachers.
The stream and all the post produced content will be available to everyone.

Not all classes will be streamed.
In addition, all classes have an interactive, mumble/live portion. Those portions are limited in nature due to the inherent difficulties in getting people arranged and behaving well. For instance, during my portion, people will be able to ask questions and, depending on class size, may get to try out uploading on ftp and some other things.

pretty cheap blows to emkay honestly
he's a competent player and knows more than enough to teach people fundamental medic mechanics.
he's clearly not just a random medic; we've all played with him often (he frequented our inhouses back in open and occasionally in IM), so it's weird to talk about him so impersonally. i have faith in him.
the initiative is what counts, and it's a good one.

coaches were chosen based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, access, availability, personal skill and proven teaching ability. It is in no way a statement that any player teaching a class is in some way the best player at that class or topic.

I'm excited to give this lecture-styled class a go. I'll try my best, even if I may not be the best medic out there. :)
And no, I won't be rambling about surfing for 40 minutes! I swear! :p

I think a lot of these classes would work well with a co-host/shill to make it feel less like a lecture, helps clarify things, and sets it apart from any video guides that may already exist on the subject. Also keeps one person from having to keep talking for hour(s) straight.

Can't wait, this is going to be great! Little sad so many of these courses are overlapping, but at least they'll later be available on YouTube.

Just to make sure, having played one season in 6v6 ETF2L Mid I'm eligible for "ETF2L Mid+"? Also Masters of Maincalling doesn't list ETF2L at all.
E: I also can't participate in surfing after I signed up to history. It says the scheduling conflicts but surfing is supposed to start just as history ends.

apparently you cant sign up for the maincalling and eu gimmicks because one ends at 4 and the other starts at 4. might want to change the end times to 3:59 ect so people can sign up for consecutive classes
