I’ve managed my team for 2+ years and I’m mentally retarded.

I find it very hard to believe that there are people more dumb than me.

To be honest, of all the ideas mentioned that are great, I think this is pretty much the case. It really is not remotely difficult to contact another team and organise a date. It’s a laziness thing that gets people used to not having to do stuff, rather than something that’s actually beneficial to the scene.

I think the problem with a lot of the ideas that are coming up is they aren’t actually helpful, so much as just ways baby people into the scene. You don’t want to drag people in, you just want to lower the barrier for entry so that the people who are interested and want to take the initiative, can do so more easily.

managing/being leader of a team in div3+ = easy as fuck

managing/being leader of a team in div5 and below = suicidal.

Nah

Hello, I’m a former competitive COD 4 player and I’ve been looking for a new game for about a year. I’m an FPS gamer at heart so I find TF2 to be a great game. My team jumped the opportunity to play TF2 when it became free a couple of days ago. My experience of the game so far has been great. I love the jumping, shooting and – well – everything about it! It reminds me of the good ol’ Quake days. The game definitely has a huge chance of becoming multiplying its competitive player base if the community plays its cards right.

Anyways, I’ve got a question regarding ladders and cups in TF2. Is there a competitive ladder in TF2 where I can mass ladder games with my team to practice against other teams (much like Clanbase)?

And are there any one-day-cups in TF2, and if so, where?

On the topic of the ladder, it went inactive, but Spike Himself was afaik looking top get it relaunched with new rules (it had dumb ones like a team losing its place on the ladder if it didnt play a match in 2 weeks or something). Anyway, Spike is now an admin, sooo….

The only thing I did when I was in vye was that I typed 20 and 21 at #tf2.europe and clicked that magic button ‘join league’. It isn’t that hard, right?

There is nothing like clanbase (which is insane), “scene” is pretty much snotty kids on this forum and #tf2.europe which makes it pretty pathetic to be honest. Overall, it needs a restart to get sorted properly.

If you want to go through the hassle, please do.

Ignore this dude, he is our resident troll, pretty much everyone ignores him.

Check out this thread, it should be a good start: http://etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12510/?recent=274229 . ETF2L is bassically the main center for comp TF2 in europe.

just curious: approx. how many players came to competitive scene after update and how many will come? It might be worth to make etf2l mentor forum where would be a list of volunteers that are willing to help new teams/players. I could help with that as I was mentoring everyone who asked for it.
