b4nnyThe series will include lessons that appeal to players both brand new and quite experienced. These first couple videos would be the kind of thing you'd send to people who are interested in competitive TF2 but don't necessarily know where to start or all the obscure but important details of what it takes to play competitive TF2. I prefer to start with basics so that everyone is guaranteed to be on the same page (the same rationale behind any type of 101 course). I imagine most people who watch that video have console enabled, but I would rather not assume. Besides it took mere seconds to explain how to enable it. Eventually we'll cover more advanced topics so stay tuned.
I also disagree with the idea that new players shouldn't be playing on FACEIT. I see FACEIT as pretty much a replacement for TF2Center, which most people would have been fine directing new players to. Discouraging people from using FACEIT is counter productive to our scene because it is one of the most promising things we have in competitive TF2 at the moment. FACEIT really should be the go-to third party competitive TF2 platform for people of all skill levels. It certainly needs a few key features to be able to interest more experienced players, but those features will only be developed if the platform is popular so I'm taking steps to ensure that. As for directing people to different kinds of sites, FACEIT is unfortunately only supporting NA and EU, so for people outside of those areas they'd probably have a better chance at finding places to play by reaching out to those other communities listed.
is there a way to drive players off tf2center
because i really think tf2c needs to shut down before it becomes the "go-to platform"
