Dear European Friends:
I wanted to perhaps play in some euro pugs when people in the Americas are sleeping and I had a couple of questions.
Do you guys have some irc equivalent of tf2.pug.na and when are your pugs populated?

waefwaef

Yes pixeltf2.pickup on quakenet
waefwaefWhen are your pugs populated?
Never, euro pugs are dead, I think the bot has been dead for months now and noone cares, if you wanna play pug like games you'll have to get 11 people of your friendslist to play a doublemix
Why cant we euros have nice things?
#tf2.pug.hl on quakenet is quite active for 9v9 pugs.
Yep, european pugs are dead, we only have one for div 2+ and prem people :(
Depends, you can try to get into country-specific PUGs but that would require you to speak the correct language. No idea about EN-language AND alive PUGs
Polish ones are run at #tf2.pickup.pl @ QuakeNet
is div 2 still like high open level? haven't eu pugged in a while.
vileis div 2 still like high open level? haven't eu pugged in a while.
Those pugs are probably IM+ level

yeah, I'd say IM, as in not IM+ and not IM-
The pickup2 admin Byte is lazy as fuck. Don't bother. Pugs in EU are done though steam groups and friends. Make some friends with the top and just play with them. As someone who has played both the skill levels go as follows.
Open = div 5-3 depending on the season
IM = div 3-1 (some of the bottom IM teams are like high div 4 this season)
Invite = div 1-Prem
There is to much division of skill in EU. NA divs are to large though. Should be Open, Intermediate, Main, Invite.

SORRY, LAST I CHECKED, INVITE > PREM.
breloomSORRY, LAST I CHECKED, INVITE > PREM.
Invite contains a very broad rang of skill levels while in EU the divs have far more separation. Makes for more interesting games (the teams in the div are closer together) but also slows the progress of players (people are never forced to vs teams that are far above there skill level). Also last i checked LG and mix^ shat on the rest of invite.
there's pickup2 which is div2+, you need to be invited
It's about equivalent to IM and above - coming from someone who has played in IM, div 2, and div 1
If you're open level you can try pixelpickup, games still go on sometimes
