So for the past couple scrims and pugs I've done, I repeatedly crashed as the game begins. It just pauses and hl2 just dies on me. The crashes occur only once in a while. Any suggestions?

So I was browsing random teams on the ESEA page and I noticed two new invite teams named the title as shown above. I was wondering if anyone else knew anything about it and could explain to me how it worked.

Great scout. Even greater sniper.

I enjoy being an admin for short periods of time but coaching is much more fun in my opinion. Why not try something where we have a bunch of trustworthy people rotate being admins for x time while the other coaches coach?

Really cool. Great personality and gamesense. Get him a team.

Played with him in lobbies and interacted with him. I would say his DM is alright. Occasionally, I find him arrogant and rude but other than that, he's willing to improve. I would say he isn't ready for open but having him try out wouldn't hurt.

Chill and good medic. Pick him up.

This team is really organized and can definitely make playoffs. Please give them a demo.

A knife signed by Omar Little because he's always one for one for spy plays.

Mr. Owl will never drop. And v3kz is a blatant cheater with insane rollouts.

Newbie Mixes happen usually on Fridays and/or Saturdays whenever they are announced in the upcoming events section. If you want to get more into comp TF2, you should try mixes using atf2.org or lobbies using tf2lobby.com. Generally, the mixes at atf2.org would help you learn more since they have a mumble where you can communicate with each other compared to lobbies.

Great dm, chill personality. Pick him up.

Nvidia cards have a problem if you install the new drivers. You can roll back to the 306.97 drivers (I'm using those) and it will be solved.

Played against him before a month or two ago in like a scrim or two. He seemed like a really solid roamer who knew what he was doing. I've also been in the same mumble with him and he was really chill.

B4nny signs a lot of items for his fans. Ruwin doesn't do that anymore unless you're special due to the retarded things people do with them like sell them for increased prices. As for Platinum, I rarely see signed items by Plat but it doesn't hurt to ask.
