If any nerds need a Solly or med hit me up

Im not saying UGC can't be positive, im saying that telling people that they are not good enough for ESEA is wrong.
Steel has 75 alive teams right now, even assuming that only 25% of them care about tf2 to where they want to get better that is still 18 teams. 18 more teams in open. That's part of the issue with open, anyone can play sure it but there is a stigma that you have to be "this" good to enter. One reason that is the case is because we tell new players that they cannot play. Look at CS open, most teams have a great time and don't get crushed 24/7 and the only way we can get our open to that point is by getting new players into it. The point of the post was to try and get more people in the game, no matter how slowly. and really $25 for 3 months is nothing for a hobby so that's not really a valid argument.

please tell me that you have that working in-game and they are not just PS mockups.
I want it now

This is going to be a post that is directed to the older members of the community in regards to new players, so it would be nice if people read it and took note, I want MM to be successful for us and to grow the game.

Now this is coming from someone who works with newbies on a weekly basis with newbiemixes, and this is not a post telling people to be all nice and fuzzy in MM as to not scare away people because A: it would not work and B: if you cant deal with shit talk why are you playing comp video games? Anyways to get back to the point of this; new players that want to have a active part in the community and find a team.

In newbie mixes we tell all of the players there, no matter how bad, to go and play ESEA and skip UGC 6s because it is a waste of time (for the most part). We tell them this for two reasons, 1: you get better faster, and 2: we need more people playing ESEA, we all know that. We also tell people that are wondering how to get on a team to go to the tf.tv forums and make a thread. Now this is all good in practice, and it works sometimes. The issue we have is people on the forums immediately responding to those "Im just starting to play and I want a team please pick me up" posts with "Go look on the UGC forums". This is not the response we should be giving to any player that is looking to play 6s. All it does it take away from the potential ESEA player base and it also tells these new people that they are not good enough and have to get better until they can be on TF.TV. If we want this to be a community forum and place to gather for more then just the 6v6 players, we need to start to let people (even those that are right out of MM and brand new) make those threads and find actual ESEA teams, all UGC does it take away form 6s. So please don't tell the new players to go elsewhere, let them find an actual team.

TL;DR Stop telling people to go to UGC, If we want more players in ESEA stop telling the new ones to fuck off.

Please make a weekly or bi-weekly opinion piece called this, it's too good not to.

Ask kevinispwn, has been working on his beyond the hats thing for ages now. Not sure what kind of limbo that is in atm.

Really should go and ask a doctor if its a major issue instead of random nerds on a video game forum

I mean how many people drop $60 on a game and then play it for like 50 hours and never touch it again? The vast majority, so cost will not be a factor in player conversion.
