Hi everyone,

we'd like to announce a new pickup site for bball pickups, https://bball.tf2pickup.eu. It's another pickup site we made, but this time it is going to be European, so basically everybody from EU and people with ping less than 100 are allowed to play.
I know there are less bball enthusiasts than 6v6 or Highlander gamers, but we made a European site for this gamemode anyway because we want to see how people are gonna be for each other and we want to get some feedback before we start with European 6v6 or Highlander pickups. During the games using voice chat on Mumble is mandatory, for more check out the rules on the website. We use melkor.tf (France) host as a place for the game servers at the moment.

Short info about us:
We are a small Polish team of people who want to bring fun for people playing Team Fortress 2 competitively and the project initially started from a pickup website which was a replacement for a very old IRC bot tf2.pickup.pl for 6v6 pugs. People in the Polish community played double mixes very frequently and the website was an idea to make games better organised. It was called tf2pickup.pl, made by mały from scratch and eventually it gained interest in the community big enough that people from other countries started contacting us in order to launch the site for their countries. Currently all websites except the bball one are made with an idea of using the national language meaning for instance people playing German pickups are supposed to speak German, but it does not exclude people from other German speaking countries to participate.
At the moment there are 14 different pickup websites in the Europe, 2 are going to come up soon.

Our team consists of:
mały - website developer, this site exists because of him mostly and he supports the website deployments,
bobair - graphics designer, he made all of these cool polandball logos and animations,
supra - project manager and technical supporter, I support the website deployments, help communities gain interest in the website and I wrote the docs.

Our Discord is there: https://discord.gg/SXtcadpQTK
Feel free to support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/tf2pickuporg

We would be grateful if we get some feedback about how the website works and what would you expect to be changed in it.

so?

what's the point of doing 999999 pug servers instead of hosting a few ones with different skill groups/gamemodes?

JUICY PROMO OMFG THIS IS SO AWESOME

does this site has any sort of API? it would be cool to have it because then we could use it for skill prediction on tf2pickup.org I guess + some option to filter 6v6/hl/2v2 games out from the rest when checking a player
that would be way cooler than looking at the divisions on etf2l for europeans, in case of burgers there is probably no good way to do that atm
no idea about apac

ps: this is probably the biggest issue why we don't have a european pickup site atm

its fine, good luck new admins :)
