I did my masters degree online while working a full time job, and this was before COVID made distance learning mainstream. There was a lot I struggled to adjust to, from just taking rigorous math classes after being out of school for a few years, to time management and developing good (admittedly, this part is debatable) study habits again. It's also very isolating, and the classes I did best in were the ones where the distance learning students formed a study group and would go over our answers to problem sets together before turning them in. The on campus students could do this easily, but we had to proactively reach out to each other more; nobody really used the online discussion forums.

Being able to watch lecture recordings at 2x speed (or faster, depending on the pace and how the professor talks) can be pretty clutch when you're reviewing on a time crunch.

Unless I'm just out of the loop, EU has been lacking low-level pugs for a while now too. Lots of people from outside NA end up in Newbie Mixes or TF2CC and ask if there are any similar services for their region.

Something with separate divs, so high level players don't get frustrated with low level players who don't know what they're doing, and low div players don't get frustrated by getting rolled by more experienced players, might be good for everyone.

TF2 Coaching Central is back with the eighth iteration of our North American Newbie 6s Cup, a learning experience and friendly competition for people who are new to competitive 6v6.

This month, players with no to minimal competitive experience will sign up to be placed on a team of six, led by coaches who will teach the basics of how to play the 6v6 format and help you learn the maps. Teams have three weeks to learn and train together before facing off in a tournament, brought to you by our casting partner Fireside Casts, with a prize pool of 18 keys for the winners and runners up.

Our Newbie Cup events are a great starting point for anyone interested in trying out competitive 6s for the first time or looking to make their RGL newcomer/amateur debut in season 16, as well as an opportunity for more experienced players to help foster the future of the competitive scene by teaching newbies. We're currently taking signups for participants and team coaches! Tell your friends!

No

Don't know as I haven't tried myself, but it does persist across rounds (a round ends, everyone respawns, player still has buddha mode). Re-execing the config during soap DM doesn't even force a respawn so it may not work.

That's why if sv_cheats was ever turned on during pregame you reload the map before the game starts, because statuses like buddha mode persist after it's turned off and you don't know what other people on the server might have done. Learned that lesson in a scrim.

Don't worry, I'm sure it won't be replacing math tutors any time soon.

Forcing two players to run melee only in a game where 10 other players shoot guns at you is balanced and fun!

The most you can do is encourage the victim to report it then. Nobody's going to do anything with this complete lack of evidence.

TF2 Coaching Central is back with their seventh North American Newbie 6s Cup, a learning experience and friendly competition for people who are new to competitive 6v6.

Players with no to minimal competitive experience sign up to be placed on a team of six, led by a coach who will teach the basics of how to play the format and help you learn the maps. You'll have three weeks to learn and practice together as a team before facing off in a tournament.

If you're an experienced competitive player, we're also taking applications for coaches! Newbie cup coaches will mentor a team for duration of the training period and/or give map talks and classes about basic concepts. Help foster the growth of the next generation of 6s players!

Sign ups are open now, and the deadline to apply to be placed on a team is April 15. Team and coach assignments will be made by April 18 and tournament matches, brought to you with the help of our official casting partner Fireside Casts, will be May 11.

If you're new to a forum, lurking is proper etiquette and it's how you learn not to get shit on.

If you prefer a more structured intro to 6s you should definitely try out Newbie Mixes https://discord.gg/9H8xDmTvqY if you're in NA. They run beginner friendly mixes every Friday evening with live coaching and will teach you the basics.

Your counterarguments for the benefit of your roommate are irrelevant to your case that you are a separate person from your roommate.

Not necessary. We're not the people you need to convince. As you've probably noticed, for the purposes of TF2CC we've determined it to be fine to let you play pugs on your account.
