It probably isn't invite or prem quality, but I remember some CEVO (maybe) or some other org's casts from eons ago of 7v7 from prior to medlocks.

No thanks hugh ;)

I won't be including face-cam because that'd make the uploads take several hours I imagine, but I do imbibe from time to time ;)

Heyo, I from time to time get people wanting me to look over their stuff, and it's just much easier for me to record it and put it on youtube, I can private the video if you really really want to, otherwise just post a POV or STV here and I'll reply with a link asap. I would stream it but I have awful internet.

I'd prefer to keep things at the Open or lower levels - I particularly enjoy helping the newest of folks.

Who am I?

If you have any questions feel free to message me.

Should be fun :D

You've already burned out your retinas haven't you joe :( all that left click right click man and the explosions :(

My first match was in UGC a year+ ago against sunday funday. We lost 5-3 on cp_prolane. I got killed by a spy and was mad.

I wasn't that nervous and nobody really had a clue, but we got consistently better :D

I'll do demo reviews if you send me the demos :D but not a lot of tf2 on there atm.

Well the money is going to charity not the particular player it's a good cause and stuff ;)

As far as how to use items, when I was pubbing a lot on SourceOP they started running raffles to fund their servers. If people have any sweet items you donate said item, pay 5$ you get a raffle ticket towards x item (they stuck to unusuals, and weird medals) donating increasing increments of 5$ gives you more chances to win.

As far as the gunblade you could do the same thing just attach it to a certain $ amount so as to make it such that it won't be entered into the raffle unless the total donations pass x amount.

The main reason I suggested reducing the number of players per timing was because of the difficulty in getting people together.

Stuff to do ideas beyond exhibition matches:

Talk to the surfer and jumper types. Sort out a map and speed run it with people donating towards certain circumstances - no regen, surfing with ultra high sensitivity, etc, etc. You could race too.

If you shoot for a very long marathon (24 hour) I think MVM would definitely fit the bill - and folks could donate towards seeing some super unorthodox load out like all scouts or something.

You could also go another route and design stacked punishment games. For example, if x streamer doesn't top frag in some random saxton hale mod server (assuming requisite donations), he is forced to do some x incredibly upsetting and painful thing (not like sal hitting himself in the head with a pan, but I guess if you want to). Like having to sing a stupid song, reenact a "meet the video" as a one man play - anything that sounds embarrassing or funny.

I actually thought of a pretty neato idea during AGDQ...

Start out with a show match with all the personalities (all the biggest streamers, maybe even some historical personalities if you could get them on for a day of gaming - like reptile) that's some ancient map like 12 v 12 2 fort - play that for some very short period of time. Then viewers donate towards goals - so 300 donated to charity forces seanbud to play with his foot for 20 minutes, etc or lange to play with a guitar hero controller, or truktruk to cast in his "fwag video" voice.

In short, you would slowly whittle down the number of players, playing 9v9 *highlander* 8v8, 7v7, and lastly 6v6 - and you could have that sixes match be a show scrim or something between 2 invite teams with a full on cast HOWEVER if you donate x amount of $$$ you force x player to do something ridiculous or change class or something silly, and if you get a ton of money they'll play on some miserable map using the oldest of prostrats you could do the same for the highlander segment if you could get teams to do it.

You could also do a bidding war to have the highest donator in that category get mentored by x player.

Well medics are hot commodities, since if you have one leave at any point during the season you may have just lost the farm. Your best bet, though, if people are fairly stable at your appropriate skill level is just make contacts and have it be known that you'll ring. Then when so-and-so makes a team they'll hit you up.

I'd suggest your best bet - DM/MGE/Rocket jump on your own time, and just find a lower end team with 5 people you can stand, and just play as much tf2 with them as humanly possible. You will learn the pocket position quickly. The other thing that would help you greatly is looking over invite STVs, particularly of guys like TLR, Seagull, Lansky, and Tri. I'd put more names on that list, but STVs from that long ago are broken.

I heart monkeysuit. Play medicals man on their team it will be fun.

Good luck!
