Hey all, so for the longest time now I've been wanting to create content for players that are trying to get better at competitive TF2. I've noticed most other eSports scenes have plenty of resources for improvement and learning a lot more of the advanced concepts that you might not learn until several seasons of playing the game. I for one never really had such a resource with the exception of the old MGE videos, and even individual streams back when I started playing competitive were slim to none.

So I wanted to kind of start my own series teaching newer players about the many concepts in competitive 6v6 that aren't discussed as often as I'd like. Right now I've only got four videos and they are all highlights from a stream I did earlier in the day, however I plan to do at least one or two of these each week covering different subject matter within the game.I have a lot of ambition and high-hopes with where the series could go and my intent is to transition from a "rant" format to more of a concise and premeditated one, but I hope you guys enjoy and maybe learn something!

Here's the whole playlist thus far: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwhml_vE2h8QCIoAVfWX-Hwir5iRz758j

Feel free to shoot me some ideas in the thread for subjects you'd want to be covered in the future.

Solid videos, I was kind of distracted by the music & contract noise in the beginning of the round but for the most part it was very easy to follow and very comprehensive. One other thing I'd suggest is changing mp_tournament so that you don't have to deal with the round timer running out. I wasn't watching live but the q/a style seems like a good idea so that you can make sure that people aren't getting lost and fully understanding what you're trying to say.

Thanks for the feedback, pretty much agree with all your points and I noticed all of them pretty much right after I had uploaded the videos. There will be some definite improvements for the next installments without a doubt.
