You say you want to get better but I'm pretty sure you're only talking about improving your DM ability. There's a lot more to getting better than just DM (of course, DM plays a big part) that I'm sure you'd want to work on if you truly wanted to get better (good communication, coordination with teammates as a result and so on).

Pugs/finding a team to scrim with and commit to would be a great way to work on those "other" things.

Good scout and a hilarious (in a good way) person to have in a mumble atmosphere. Give him a team with good leadership, as well as equal ambitions, and he'll improve to become an even greater player.

Pointing these posts out on here just in case...

Plan accordingly folks. I'm pretty sure a couple people, especially in IM from what I remember, relied on the deadline extension for the past couple seasons it has been happening consistently. Be careful this time and get your fees paid up before the listed deadline.

The pub map cp_warpath. It's a crazy fun map for any class, albeit annoying as some classes like scout because of how much projectile spam there can be in a 32-player server.

Also, one of the communities I played in (No Heroes) had some hilarious events that were held:

Congratulations to them. That's a pretty awesome mix of players (2x TF2 players with one of which who's played a decent bit of TFC, 2x Shootmania players, a CS player and a Quake player). Tons of experience from all over there.

Log into PayPal, click on the little cogwheel (Profile) button in the top, right-hand corner next to the Log Out button and then go into the Payments tab where you should see a link to preapproved payments. You can just click on the merchant names once you reach the preapproved payments page to manage their status (cancelling, for example).

Unless something crazy comes up, I'll probably be going since it's not bad of a drive at all (I live in NC). Filled out the survey. Probably thinking too ahead here, but I wouldn't mind picking up a person or two if they are extremely close to Raleigh or on the way up to Annadale (Richmond, etc).

Indust is back early. Indust hype.

You Must Mike is going to play this match for us (unless something goes horribly wrong) since indust will only be back later this week. Just a heads up.

gg to EVL, I guess they got bored pushing while having clear point advantage and doing great on mids. Hopefully it was fun to watch.

Looking forward to the tournament!

All the best moving forward and thank you for your many years of administrating.

For ESEA, there's some pretty neat post-match recorded casts/highlights of ESEA-I S4 and onward here. That's sorted from oldest to newest, so you can just load more to see some other old stuff like this ESH Sennheiser Challenge thing containing European players:

Pretty sure there was something wrong with the ESEA STV when it was being played. Unfortunate, but shit happens.

Looks like I'm pretty ready.
