http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfmercs though think it’s a bit dead.
You can also ask on tf.wars and pickup channels.

Friendslist ftw, and ask your team mates to get one as well. Too often there’s one guy looking for a sub and the other four a just sitting there, touching themselves or something. Lazy fucks.

and tbh, I wouldn’t ask just any random guy from a forum thread or IRC channel to merc for my team.

I think the lazy bastard you are talking about is called Maffi

If you don’t have much comp experience friends list is just as unreliable as some merc channel, since you don’t know much people and are often not sure what exactly they are capable of.

I think that after you’ve been in a few teams and from there on, friends list does become the most viable option ad youve met quite some people and you’ve probably seen them play or played with them, so that you actually know a bit about them.

Until then every option is quite unreliable as you can never be too sure about who youre asking to merc. but friends list remains the best option
