I've been playing TF2 for about a year now, and I've racked up almost 300 hours, and I really want to get into some competitive highlander (probably as an engie), but I worry that I'm just not good enough.
I see people on some forums looking for teams at the lowest level with 1000-2000 hours, and is that what's really necessary of me? I know the game very well, and watch a great deal of competitive casting/POVs and the like, but I'm not sure if I'd actually be good enough to be in a team. plz hlp

well the thing is, the standard isn't always good for YOU. that being said, i'd say try doing tf2lobby and #tf2.pug.nahl to see if you make good scores, from my experience heavy engy and medic are the hardest classes to pick up so the other players will help you out if you need it :)

100 hours of lobbies/dm/mge and watching matches is more valuable than 1000 hours of pubbing.

you're probably good enough. Find a team that you like and play with them. Good luck

There's no such thing as "not good enough", the only thing that matters is whether or not you're willing to improve.
