i dont think upgrading is the best option. maybe wait out buying a new one

lol i wouldnt buy this because the method this guy is using to make it should make it cost ATLEAST $455 considering it takes 72 hours to make. too expensive for me. I would consider buying one at a later time for around $50.

i don't see how you get that impression that's literally what i was doing because i wanted to play some 6s tf2 where everyone stays and the game ends with 12 people.

i was never talking about the minimum number of games required to play captain. people dont want to wait, the important classes are leaving (medics) because nobody is adding up as captain. id like to volunteer and captain when i dont know the people and everyone else is too pussy to captain.(someone added likely is capable of captaining well)But i dont because there are rules that could get me crestricted if it doesn't go well. im trying to make this thread about making the rules looser on being restricted as captain for 1 or 2 shit games.

there is a rule that if u captain a 5-0 u get crestricted. so i want them to loosen up and create a system that doesnt get stuck at 90% (2 meds 14 people added and 0 captains)
Edit: i didnt captain up because i didnt know the people. and the meds left because nobody wanted to captain

i think that the people added up in that pug i was added up in 40 min ago did know the players and couldve captained but didnt. thats more the broader issue but i'd be glad to captain if they would losen up on restricting. I'm going to try to captain more and just face some restriction if i ever really want to play tf2 and that kind of thing happens.

Edit: the real topic im trying to get across is how people are getting crestricted over 5-0 games while games arent starting and important classes are leaving. I have personally seen aristotle and them crestrict people over a single 5-0 game. although ive had like 3 or 4 and have never been caught so maybe i should nut^ more but still the rules arent working well because people are scared shitless of being captain.

i have 381 games played. in pugna i pretty much only captain when i know the people there so that my games dont have a chance of getting 5-0s. but what often happens is nobody captains and the game doesnt get played for as long as an hour. i witnessed several pugs die(everyone left after 2 medics were added up).
let me play captain so the game gets played and i get better at captain.

ALL of tri hards have shown me before that they can perform at LAN better if not the same as they do at home. i can say the same for mixup and HRG which is what makes LAN exciting. dont be so quick to predict based on who has been to the most LAN's and won the most times.
EdIT: won the most times at LAN*

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE
HRG
Tri
Mixup
EDIT: this spot could easily be taken by AG instead of top guns or Madmen but one of the 2 latter deserve the spot imo at this point during the season.
I think any of the top 3 teams could win depending on how much they tri hard.
i believe we are especially going to be surprised by how well mixup does.

play sc2 i know you'd be good it's really fun

figure eight!

you can easily find a lobby with 6 or so players with more than 100 lobbies.
i think lisening to a few coaches in newbie mixes will give you enough to practice in tf2 lobby. which when you feel like you are doing well (K:D and win loss is a good overall indication i think. although damage would be better it is unfortunately unavailable.) you can move onto tf2mix. when you start playing tf2mix and feel comfortable there you can start looking for an esea team and never have to play UGC 6's to get good enough to play in the paid league.
i'm probably not giving ugc enough credit. it is free but you wont get nearly the type of experience you would get from esea. especially because no platinum or Gold team will pickup someone new. Yet surprisingly esea teams do and when you get into the circlejerk of tf2mix you might even make some friends that will either make a team with you or recommend your awesome DM skills as an addition to someone elses team (play Soap DM a.k.a DM MOD).
BE friendly. Make calls. get over your voice. dont talk pregame and after the game too much.

oh! and download mumble. this is where you will be comming your entire tf2 career
