Attention tf2 community: we need coaches very very very badly. Many newbie are sitting in unable to learn. If you have a chance in the next couple hours PLEASE come help coach (and potentially win 20 bucks woo!)

Come coach! (Maybe) win a $20 prepaid card!

Thanks! chi4.tragicservers.com 64737

YOU HAVE ~THREE HOURS TO PAY UP. If you have less than 6 paid up you need to get your last guy(s) paid by about noon cst today. https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=forums&d=topic&id=775289

If you desperately need someone to borrow the money for this from, tftv pm me.

We got our starting 6 and will need some backups. I will be out for 2 weeks in the middle of the season, so at least 1 backup will be getting considerable amounts of playtime. TFTV message me if you're interested. Thanks!

I would definitely use this site if I could sort by division.

I originally planned to make a team so that IM would have the minimum of 17 teams in it, but we just played tonight and I think it was one of the more fun experiences I have had in TF2 recently. So, hop on board for the LAST SLOT that's available in IM (may or may not be true) and play with us!

Saving Private IM
Scouts - Vari and throne
Roamer - flatline
Pocket - KevinIsPwn
Demo - smitty
Medic - emkay

Backups - you??

Message me on tftv so I can add you. My list is super crowded (sorry!)

Are any of these teams not happening? I got a message from an ESEA admin to everyone on my team that said IM would be merged with open if there weren't 17 teams registered in each division. If all these teams play, there are only 16 teams for this coming season. There is a decent chance that my roster is getting used, but I'm not sure. That puts us at the required 17, but not if any of the teams listed here fall through.

edit: Updated list with checks (playing)/ x's (not playing). We SHOULD be good but if you or anyone you know is dropping out last second, please tell me so I can pester people to make teams. Thanks! (and ty tery for putting together the initial list)

I've found that when going for directs, I will track my mouse on the thing I want to hit then flick to where I think they will be the moment they make a predictable movement/strafe/action. I shoot then flick back to where I was before. This is not something that is conscious. That would be weird. Rather, it's something that has built up naturally for me and is becoming more defined as I play more and more soldier.

I think something like this may be what you're seeing in this video and other situations when you see soldiers/demos flicking after their shots.

Once again, 0 coaches tonight. Steel's doing a $20 prepaid gift card giveaway to a random coach. Come help out!

edit: done, thanks!

Relax, don't miss class, study what the professor tells you to.

That's all you gotta do, man. If your high school picked you to benefit from this grant, I'm sure they did so knowing you could handle it. Don't freak out, and you'll be golden.

Deathadder without the stigma.

I actually watch these videos pretty much every day. This guy had made some pretty funny/interesting videos before he started doing daily vlogs. Had an HBO show too.

He really cleverly does a whole bunch of things every episode. Some aerial/time-lapse cinematography, some travel, some cute baby videos, some business talk, etc. So a lot of people are interested in at least 1 thing that happens each video. I personally watch it because the dude lives a relatively eventful life and it can be fun to follow along with that stuff. The video you linked is a perfect example. He tours a ridiculous, 20k-a-night hotel room then goes and flies some racing drones, before climbing down the side of a cliff to recover one of the drones. Top it off with some lovely time lapses of San Francisco, and you've got a super interesting few minutes imo.

I can personally say from experience that there are definitely factors that limit people in their ability to play tf2/ other video games.

I used to have to take significant amounts of antihistamines because of some stupid medical issues. For those that may not know, antihistamines block histamines which cause symptoms in allergies. The side effects include drowsiness and general confusion.

My reaction times suffered greatly and as a result, I couldn't really play tf2 (or any fast paced games) well. I have some really old vods of me streaming tf2 and it's pretty hilarious to see how slow I was to do literally anything. This lasted up through early 2014, when I was able to wane off of the drugs as my symptoms disappeared (and immediately started progressing rapidly faster through divisions/ general skill). I still get spikes of these things and have to take some benadryl infrequently, and when I do I definitely notice a difference in my ability to aim, call, and react. If you ever see me doing absolutely shitty in game, this is (probably lol) why.

As someone who has played in two different mental "states", I can confidently say that it makes a difference. Some people with a naturally slow reaction time or someone who has fine/gross motor issues will definitely be at a disadvantage in a game involving so much DM and movement mechanics, and people that don't agree haven't really put much thought into it.
