Actual Pog right here!
I know many people who still plays or gave it a serious run after the first challenge, and it was honestly the best that had happened to ETF2L in a long time. Now i don't expect this second one to have as great of an effect because places like the subreddit seem to distanciate themselves everytime more and more from the comp side of things, but it's still gonna be great i'm sure of it.
If there's anyone doubting if they should participate, stop thinking about it and join! Lots of fun, and don't necessarily need to commit more than to just the challenge so just enjoy this experience.

for people not invested in open div this event is ridiculously stacked.
If you were (and people will inevitably) compare them to Archimedes Cup they are potentially a much more solid event. In terms of casual redditors converted and not being sponsored by MasterNoob I'd argue straight upgrades. obvious mid russian alt and zero-official 2000-lobby tf2center player are about as scary a combo of scouts can be; zero-official 2000-lobby tf2center player is plain and simple the best aimer I've seen in TF2 period. AND is individually one of the smartest and most mechanically skilled people I've ever played with. pubber with 800 spy hours is unfair, he's like an anime character I don't get how but his power just scales to always be on another level of the people surrounding him, Valve servers hasn't got a reputation for fantastic roamers but pubber with 800 spy hours has broken that curse.
In terms of pocket and medic you couldn't find better replacements for the previous winners then with MGE main who has been specifically waiting to roll the next newbie cup and the teams Buddy, the teams Buddy is the only person who could contend with coaches Yak and oJ for his strengths in maincalling and aggressive strategy,

Still think it's a bit unfair to have higher div players on medic.
Yeah it's cool to have an experienced player call, but then it's sort of unfair when you put that against any team with a newbie medic, making newbie mistakes. Sure. They could have a buddy play medic if they wanted, but this should be about the new players.
Plus it can make it harder for newbie medics to even get picked up. If there aren't enough medics then I think the buddy could play as a last resort perhaps
Otherwise I expect it will be a lot of fun like the last one.
