Hi! If you haven't done so yet, I would recommend you play in newbie mixes as they're a great way to improve as a new player and link up with other new-to-competitive players whom you might look at picking up on a team. Also, usually it's a good idea to list out what your current roster looks like in a more neat manner so that people can more easily understand who they might be playing with and what classes you need. If you're looking to play in a league, ESEA just started so it's not possible to get a roster at this time, but TFCL and UGC are NA leagues that are still accepting new rosters, and free to play in to boot (admittedly, the majority of players here are ESEA/ETF2L so it will be hard to find players for those leagues on this forum).

Overall though happy to see new players jumping right in and making teams, good luck with your player search and hope to see you in open next season :D

All of these impure forum browsers... live by the example of our lord and savior CapnNoFapn...

to add to this, you need to plan ahead of time for ringer-subs. Once the server is up 15 minutes before start time, the match is considered live and no players can join the roster during a live match. Learned this the hard way a few seasons back :(

I've been doing a lot more production stuff in general, as well as streaming on my personal channel, and am looking at putting together a dedicated encoding/streaming rig so I can utilize h.264 encoding and use higher encoding settings overall without impacting the performance of my gaming/observing PC.

I don't mind dropping up to my max budget (1200 USD) but would like to use as little of it as I can. Would also like to upgrade to a 240hz monitor within this budget. I'm selling my 144hz to offset a bit of that cost, so fitting that into the budget would be preferred.

Anything I could/should change? Space is a notable concern, but it seems hard to find SFF cases for micro ATX boards. If I opt to not get a new monitor, is the next setup a good option for minimal space?

Intel Skull canyon NUC ($520.00 on Newegg)
ADATA - SU800 128GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($40.00 @ Amazon)
4GB SODIMM G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR4 (42.00 @ Newegg)
Razer Ripsaw or ElgatoHD60 USB 3.0 Capture Card (~$170.00 for either one depending on vendor)
Total: ~$772.00
Total with monitor: ~$1215.00

Looking for recommendations on which setup I should go with considering space/sound concerns and whether either could be improved, will be using this for both personal and professional streams, so it's important to me that I get this right.

Seconded, the Pixel family in general are just really nice smartphones. Everything runs fluidly, the 4k60fps camera is one of the best mobile cameras on the market, and the display is really nice. battery on the XLs have always been really good for me as well, lasts a lot longer then previous phones I owned.

for cloth mousepads i know that the SteelSeries QCK and Sloth eSports Mousepads are very popular and very good

they're overpriced as hell but if you can get a good deal/sale on one logitech G640 mousepads are really fucking great, logitech sometimes run promotions when you buy other peripherals to give you a free one and I know sometimes ESL has a promo code to get one with a logitech purchase they run during CS events they sponsor

bump, if this is a known issue with windows installs (or the specific version of windows) of TF2 dedicated server, I'm fine with digging out my debian USB install, would just like to know if there is a way to get this working.
