SideshowI'd be up for doing this, but I don't really know how it works. Could you run me down how I would get involved, how often, when they normally happen etc?
Well they start at 9 EST every Friday night, so that's probably going to be really late (2 GMT?) for most Europeans, although a few have done this before.
Newbie Mixes are always in the 6 vs 6 format, with 1 coach per team. These coaches generally have about 2 seasons of ESEA experience, but we accept coaches with just 1 season of experience. We limit coaches to only being able to play Pocket or Medic and we have also decided to let them coach from spectator, allowing for a full team of 6 Newbies to be able to play, we generally do this during our "high tide" of players. Coaches are there for basically everything, from showing people rollouts on the various maps to answering questions about gameplay, the coach is there to share their knowledge with the Newbies who have a lot less experience then said coach.
Now, I don't know how well you would like staying up late and helping the NA Newbie Mixes, but if you wanted to start your own EU Newbie Mixes, I'm sure a few of the admins of the current Newbie Mixes, myself included, would be glad to help with whatever you needed to get started.
If there are anymore questions you have or something I didn't cover add me and we can talk on steam!
