sultry is the most correctly advertised map, it has two dick and balls on mid and the last point climaxes when you capture it. Don't believe me? The same creators made the ulti-duo map HGS. I'll let you figure out what it means.

Is anyone else receiving constant errors and slow loading times? it's been like this since the beginning of May on my end.

"I can keep up with Kobe1920 in MGE", the soldier in question.

Dude, shut the fuck up; you do not know how to fight. I do not for one second even believe that you would spare the effort to go to a gym and even bother learning a proper stance. I have never in my life met somebody who has good technique and looks for trouble. They know it's dangerous and that trouble is not worth it 90% of the time. If you talk big in an online space like that it's a dead giveaway.

I can't tell if you know you are wrong and are just pulling random shit out of your ass or you genuinely believe this. I didn't even know you were gay yet I still think you are an asshole. It's almost as if they have nothing to do with each other! By the way, negative life experiences don't give you an excuse to treat people like shit when they have not done anything wrong towards you. Since you made a thread a while back about the lack of positive influence within the community, when are you going to start setting an example? I've known players with much, much worse life experience than you and they still managed to be kind. Some of which still left an inspired mark on me that stays to this very day.

It's also very impressive that you got Pancake, a pretty introverted player, to be confrontational about an issue in DM's.

Not that there's a snowballs chance in hell that you'd live up to any of the performance related statements you've made but do you really think if you magically did that absolves you of any accountability? B4nny is arguably the best player in the game and yet people, including you, criticize him all the time.

You have been orbiting the competitive community for over 13 years and with 16,000 hours in the game you still haven't played a SINGLE OFFICIAL IN ANY FORMAT OR LEAGUE*. You have a "helper" badge for MGE.TF and other niche formats as far as I am aware. You are not showing up to LAN lmao and it would be surprising to see you play combat, let alone a team tolerating you to be picked up. I could pluck any medic from IM / MAIN and they could also do just fine in ulti-duo.

I don't understand why you feel the need to lie so badly, do you feel like you haven't accomplished enough at this stage in your life? There's nothing inherently wrong with roster riding and just PUG'ing, nobody would give a shit otherwise.

*I did not go through all his logs so it is possible he has played some officials in ulti-duo or possibly 4v4 but he definitely has not for any formats you could care about, not even Prolander.

This the same dude who posted a thread about him punching a wall. He is not okay and I hope he self-reflects in a healthy manner for his own good.

Make WHAT happen dude, this is the most chemically pure form of delusion I have ever seen in this community from anyone! For the uninitiated, this guy has not played a SINGLE match in his entire RGL history. NOT. A. SINGLE. ONE. I literally could not believe what I saw before my very eyes. I did not check his entire UGC history but it is likely that most of it is fluff anyways (possibly excluding 4v4 lol). You are a lobby farmer who L.A.R.P.S as a high division veteran. Pipe down.

Coming from the guy who lists experience on teams HE DID NOT PLAY IN on his profile and teams that he LEFT and parades around swathes of badges he did not earn in any capacity. You want to work on your ego over time? Take that shit off and stop telling people you are invite-level. It's like fluffing up your resume for a job you don't even want to try getting. Who are you impressing? Pubbers?

In-case you don't understand us mere mortals, you were down-voted because you decided to be anal about a minor spelling mistake instead of actually providing the guy who asked a helpful answer.

You are older than B4nny and display a much lower maturity than him. It's profoundly sad how low you have fallen, though I know some people would argue that there wasn't a transition. I believed that people were over-reacting and that you should've gotten a few flowers for trying to put some work into the scene.

You're playing medic, the entire team relies on you to have a decent time playing the game. I watched the demo for a bit and you literally started on overdose and kritz, evidently against your own team's wishes. It's baffling that your response is to act like you're hot shit, you're not that good at the game.

- You lost uber % because you can't be assed to make a b4nny bind or use multiple loadouts with the same medi-gun(s).
- You didn't react to a lot of positional situations, pussy popped for nothing and it's questionable whether you even tried to coordinate with your team to use it properly.
- You hot swap heal targets way too much, it's excessive and it's like those guys who swap to their knife over and over again in CS2 because they think it makes them look better and cooler than they are except you are a detriment to your team with lower rates of overheal.

Never have I seen somebody single-handedly kill captain PUGs by adding up the way you have. Yet you shit talk relentlessly. While some of the people on your PUG team aren't the best players and lean towards being a DM monkeys; they are usually pretty chill and definitely would never say the same rhetoric to you just for being bad. I would tell you to grow up but I am not sure if that would make a difference.

Posting a horror movie GIF doesn't make you clever or avant garde. The "I hate idiots" look isn't something to aspire to and does not look good on you.

Hi everyone, an issue that consistently crops up during TF2CC's Newbie Cups is the lack of a wholly complete learning package for the little nooblets first being welcomed into our scene. This results in loosely strung along guides, demo reviews being shared around while coaches individually create stranded material for their team's use.

tl;dr: I am making a big ass guide and would like help to make it more high quality. If you care about it at all or just want to observe join the official discord for this project

That is why I decided to start working on the (insert title card here). The main scope is to talk about pretty much everything (yes, including Highlander) you should at least know a little something about with sections going into depth if a reader would so choose to embark on that journey. Additionally, the secondary purpose of the guide will be to point readers towards high quality resources (whether primary or additional to the material). Think "Line Theory" by Grape Juice III. The breadth will range from historical synopsis, recommended settings, explanations of every current league, being a team leader, RCON, class guides, the works. Including a spreadsheet of as many publically available demo reviews with categories as possible.

However, this is a pretty sizable project. In-fact, you can see how many chapters and topics there currently are (it is quite a lot). While I want to involve public feedback, I want to open the floor for people in the community to join in on contributing to it whether directly or indirectly.

There is an official Discord server for this project. Since it's meant to be quite light; only editors and contributors will be able to write messages in social channels. Spectators will be able to observe and optionally, get pinged for updates if they so wish.

Now to be clear, I have no qualms with writing the entire opus myself lest there be no-one interested in joining my team. I will still be posting updates in both the discord server and this very thread on medium-major milestones. However, it will take significantly longer and you will have to endure my open DNA in some of the literature. Expect to see some more updates during the RGL off-season!

Unfortunately it is not. I use PeachREC and when using commands that were outlined in the RGL article, I was kicked by the plugin which sucks. As you said, another auto-demo record mod bites the dust :(. The bloat of the auto-recorder is very annoying since it not only record competitive pre-games but casual matches too. Not to mention the lack of features that P-REC and now PeachREC have.

Technically speaking, outside of just protesting this decision directly, the community could just have a gentleman's agreement to set it to warn only. Though that would be an extra task during a match and you'd have to deal with getting demo checked every time for using that mode.

We currently don't know why they banned 1-tick c-tap scripts.

I already addressed this though the phrasing in the rules is kind of confusing, the problem with Snap Tap seems to be the fact that it is a third party tool or application that can influence inputs in that manner. It has nothing to do with whether it can emulate null-movement script or not. This is not pointing out any hypocrisy as is suggested by both images. The wording should definitely be changed though.

From my understanding Snap Tap isn't banned specifically because it can replicate null movement but it is an example of a 3rd party tool that is part of a blanket ban. It's ANY software that matches the general description, not specifically Snap Tap. It likely has a chance of causing issues or irregularities that can muddy the waters for their AC staff so to make their lives easier; the simple answer is to just put down a general restriction.

While we welcome all the new coaches that applied we are now mostly looking for assistant coaches atm!

You can help out with a lower workload while still receiving some spoils.

Apply now in TF2CC!

Hi everyone! You may have seen on the community post from the TF Blog. that TF2CC is honoured to be running our 10th Newbie Cup. Our TENTH instalment in this event series! Wooh boy does saying that never get old.

With sign-ups open now until April 4th! We're a 9000+ member discord focused on providing new players with an environment to learn, play pick up games and participate in events. We also run divisonal PUGs from NC to Main+ as well as late night all-div mixes.

Players with little to no competitive experience sign up to be placed on a team of six, lead by a coach who will mentor them on the basics of how to play the format and help them learn the maps. They will have three weeks to learn, practice and grow together before facing off in a tournament scheduled for the weekend of May 3rd and 4th with the following week for playoffs, so tell your eager pubber friends who've always wanted to try out!

We have a lot of players eager to play especially with our TF2 blog announcements. As always, transitioning those who range from casuals to light experience into playing 6's would not be possible without the aiding hands of our coaches to teach these foundlings the way. If you want to help the scene grow and test your 6's knowledge, you should join the TF2CC discord and apply for Newbie Cup Coach in the linked channel!.

All Coaches that adequately participate will receive an in-game medal courtesy of Asia Fortress organizers and their head admin, Vytal. Those that are nominated by players may be eligible for an extra prize.

Requirements for Main and Co-Coaches:

IM+ playoffs experience is preferred but will accept even seasoned amateur players (or equivalent). Our base ranges from people who are new to the game its-self to experienced pubbers and below 3rd place Newcomer who are all very new to 6's. You will be teaching them very basic concepts, how to get scrims and occasional demo reviews.

Overview:

There are three types of coaches. General, Main and Co-coach. General coaches are for everyone to provide public lectures. Main and co-coaches are part of a 3 week long commitment starting April 7th to May 10th* . You will need to be available online around twice a week, and able to answer text questions from your team throughout.

General Coaches:

If you don't have a lot of time commitment but still want to help out and participate, we are looking for coaches to do general map reviews, host a class, or help answer questions in QnA sessions for everyone in our teaching corner (or other concepts such as main calling, mental, making an RGL team etc) during the cup.

If you can't participate but would like to support us, you can donate items to our storage account , use nitro boosts in the server for special perks or check out affiliates that help us continue running these cups such as Vytal's Trading and Quicksell server.

NOTE: Based on feedback; We no longer accept players outside of the Americas and the hour floor for participants has been increased to 500 by default. South American players may be eligible to apply if they have fluency in English and qualify.

Discord Channel to Apply for Newbie Cup Coach

Your hyperlink re-directs back to this post instead of your twitch.

Most places I've seen over the years would happily accommodate them at least in some way. Most Euro's I've tried to work with flake pretty much every time. My speculation is that there isn't a large enough pre-existing history of on-boarding new players so those that have a little interest fizzle out because they feel isolated even with help. Maybe it's a viscous cycle.

I know Newbie Mixes and TF2CC would welcome them if there were EU coaches and runners respectively. There used to be an EU Newbie Cup alongside the NA one until the Euro staff just disappeared so it was consolidated to NA only.

Speaking for NA, the majority you'll find are invite only or you need to know a guy to know a guy.

If you want something similar to TF2Center, I'd suggest RGL PUGs. Otherwise I'd join TF2 Coaching Central (TF2CC) and work from there. TF2CC specifically is mostly newcomer to around IM level while we are looking for people to host higher level PUGs for their own audience.

If you're active enough and a good sport you can ask around in both for a more in-house experience if that is more of your tempo. Hope that helps.

They are, albeit improperly, directly pulling a quote from Saph to point out the original author's hypocrisy (which has been deleted for a while because it was just an impulsive post).
