Hey, I've been interested in competitive for a while and haven't gotten the chance to play on a team yet. I've played newbie mixes for about half a year, and I used to play lobbies. I'm rank 4 in matchmaking, but I haven't played much of it and matchmaking rank doesn't really matter.
Note: I say low steel/iron since I don't know if iron exists anymore. I checked the UGC forums and it didn't show iron, only Steel Silver and Gold. I'd like to play in UGC 6s.
I've been playing TF2 for about 8 years, 6 on the PC and 8 on the Xbox. Scout was always my favorite class, his high damage and mobility but low health makes him a great class with a high skill ceiling. I have around 2,440 hours overall, with 1,774 hours on my main account (I used an alternate account for a while to do the achievements again).
A few good things about me is that I have generally good DM ability, and I can run the game at over 60fps at all times. I'm not a god at DM, but I can hit most of my shots and dodge projectiles pretty well.
A few bad things is that I sometimes go for risky plays and I don't have super good game sense. I'm looking to improve this, because DM can't carry a player I've found. I've kinda hit a ceiling where I can't get better by playing pubs, and I believe that competitive is the answer.
I'm looking forward to getting on a team, and I hope to become better at TF2 and have fun.

Yeah, the fee is mostly why I chose UGC over ESEA. If there was no fee, I'd sign up for ESEA in a heartbeat.
Should I post in the UGC forums looking for a team?

If you wish to find UGC team then the ugc forums would be best however I have a few more things to say about esea before you decide.
Generally allot of people are willing to pay for others as long as they care to commit and improve. However for ESEA it is in between seasons so its a bit harder to find people to pay. Just bring it up with the team you are trying out for. I will say that the fee helps weed out people who just wanna play and don't wanna improve. I learned more my first season of open than my 6-7 seasons in ugc combined. Like wolsne said it will be tough to join a low-mid open team but its well worth it if your mindset is correct. don't expect to be winning many matches in your first season of ESEA or in general. Your mindset should be to scrim allot, get rolled in matches but find good scrims and review your mistakes and learn. Hope this helps.

I think I'll try UGC because it's my first time playing competitive, and then maybe later I'll try ESEA. Thanks!
