I dunno if that's too fair, with my pocketing. I mean, I guess I play fairly aggressively (arguably too aggressive at some points), and expect my med to keep with me and tell me if we're not in a position to push healthwise, which can make it seem like I'm bad if the med isn't on the same page/isn't keeping up (which is what was happening). I play best as pocket when I am either with an experienced med or a med who I've played with before, since I expect a lot and often call "push" and assume the med knows what I mean by it. Thanks for the complements though :)

Still looking, if anyone wants to try me out let me know.

I understand, but players, as well as teams, are hesitant to make the commitment of time and money to ESEA when they know that a large portion of their matches won't be close. People play to have fun, and when they start losing badly, it's really easy for teams to fall apart. Unless there is a viable way to seed teams before the season starts, ESEA isn't going to attract the UGC crowd.

Paying to get rolled for 1/3 of a season before getting decent matchups is, surprisingly, not attractive to newer teams.

Play in PUG.NA, tell them you're new, and those will almost certainly help you improve. However, most of your med skills will be judged in the way you work with a team, and can call/manage on one, so I'd recommend trying to do calling yourself, regardless of the skill of players around you, and see what works and what doesn't. If you can, getting a team will help more than anything.

Crespi; I know you really love that nickname, but I want you to know that every new person that adds me seems to call me kill-me-deader in mumble now. Goddamn it.

Also, thanks everyone for the kind words! I'm still sort of testing the waters, so if anyone is still really in need of a med (or a low scout), let me know.

I'd consult with some people about adjusting turris and duel. They're cool maps, I think they can still be polished though, before it's finalized and everyone outcries every little change.

Eh. I mean, it helps distinguish between teams expecting to make playoffs, thinking they can make playoffs, and that know they probably won't make it, but are trying to improve.

Hey so, I'd be down to play this season if anyone needs a scout/med/soldier. I don't have a ton of ESEA experience (only a few matches as backup), but I pug a lot and have a few seasons of UGC under my belt on a few classes, including roamer and med. I'd judge myself as about low-low/mid, up to mid open on med (just guessing, not sure how accurate this estimate is), but I am receptive to criticism, striving to improve, and like to contribute with coms and strategy. I'd like a team that's chill and really wants to stick out the season, even if it gets rough.

I'm on the west coast, I'm available every weekday but 6-9 thursday nights, sundays are a maybe. Can't do saturdays at all though.

EDIT: ON A TEAM NOW

WHERE IS HE

Really, anything you get will be pretty good, just buy one of the more proven ones and you'll be happy, and make sure it fits in your case and has the right socket.

If you're looking to stream, I would recommend getting an i7 rather than an i5. It'll be smoother, and you won't have those problems where you have to choose between consistent and smooth fps, and streaming. i5's will do what you want otherwise, and is more than enough for daily use, but for streaming and rendering you really want an i7.

Walks and meditation work better for some than others. Not everyone enjoys or gets much out of them. If you want to do something alone or private, walks or meditation or exercise or really anything other than electronics will help. If you want to interact with people, try getting out, doing something with your wife, take up errands, anything.

That's not true, I get over 120 frames in action on any map, running 2 monitors, with one at 120hz. And my cpu is a 1156 i5, and a gtx 460 gpu.

Cause, you know, every time you say a push shouldn't work, it does.
