A few months ago I hated coffee, now I drink it everyday, with one sugar. It makes me feel better after a hard day.

What I meant is that I can't get too involved with TF2, since it's made by Valve, who also made DoTA 2, which directly competes with League of Legends. That's where the rivalry comes in.

I honestly don't see the logic behind it, since you're just one player amongst thousands and thousands of daily players, it's not like it's gonna matter if you play it a lot imo. Anyway, it doesn't matter, just have fun playing the game casually

Unfortunately, I don't think I have the time to be playing in a team...my parents think it's enough to play TF2, but to get completely involved with it...

 

I pretty much can't buy anything or do anything to sponsor it, since my dad works for a gaming company that is literally enemies with Valve.

The Highlander Open happens during this summer only, so you would get involded with it just for a short period. I'm not talking about buying anything or being sponsored either, but if you don't wanna play, that's your choice, I understand.

Haha I always wondered if I could be a good maincaller

Since I'm french, I must probably be a maincaller just as good as KnoxXx.

Regarding the gamesense, I know it can't be acquired easily, but I still think I have at least a bit of gamesense. Just a very little bit. <:

@@Scribblegroove

Thanks for the infos. I already have an account on etf2l for more than a year now, so no problem.

Then as I said, playing an etf2l season is impossible for me at the moment, as I don't have the time for it, studies come first.

I honestly think I'm good enough tho, I'm kind of a wanker usually (<<<: )but I play a lot of DM and am doing fine. Here :

Thanks for offering your help btw, but I have no idea if Late Suri Polomare would be interested in trying comp so...

Just gonna seek one for myself for the moment being. c:

I can play Sniper, Scout, and Medic. I'm not so good with Soldier.

Would you actually be interested in building a team to compete in the Highlander Open ?

Doesn't matter if there's a class you can't play anyway here.

Aww, too bad I am div 5 otherwise I would've picked you up right now :c

 

Consider adding a few people, it never hurts to try a few trials...

Well I'm pretty sure I know the game and his mechanics well enough to join a team. I don't wanna get into the HL Open to try comp, but rather to just play comp since I can't play in a league actively. This happening during the holidays is the perfect occasion. But yeah, too bad you can't either way pick me up :/

Do you know by any chance where I can find some people seeking for a sniper/scout/soldier/medic ?

Hi, just bumping the thread for a quick announcement.

I'm looking for a team to play in the Highlander Open. Signups for teams close on Thursday 26th June and matches start on Sunday 13th July. This is an event for players who are interested in getting an experience in competitive or just want to try a different way to play the game. If you're interested in picking me up (I highly doubt anyone here plays Highlander) or wanna build a team, contact me on Steam : http://steamcommunity.com/id/exshawns/

Have a nice day !

I'd be an awful animal caretaker, just as bad as Dashie despite the efforts I would put in. :/

So even I wanted a date with Fluttershy, I couldn't really do what she's asking for in return.

Oh my, that must have been terrible for you. :'(

Nah, most of people thinks that France was terrible...

I was ironic. It was horrible, and luckily for you, you don't speak french (do you ? <: ) so you didn't understand the lyrics that were just as atrocious as the song. I'm happy they didn't win, considering they were accused of plagiarism and those accusations were completely founded.

Really proud of France. Their amazing performance gave them a well deserved last place with 2 points !

Conchita definitely deserved to win. Congrats !

I made a post on the TF2 Official Thread, but it's not really active there and just a few people actually paid attention to it, and it kinda disappointed me because it's something I'd really love to see happen.

The project I had in mind was basically to play TF2 with some bronies just to have fun and enjoy the game. But pubs quickly get boring for me, so I didn't want to play anything : I wanted to play competitively with bronies !

Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna form a competitive team to play in a league or something, I don't have the time for that. In my opinion, the comp side of TF2 is really fun once you've tried it and much more enjoyable than just regular pubs where chaos reigns. I'll briefly introduce you to the two major competitive modes in TF2.

First, 6v6 !

The 6v6 is the most popular competitive mode (in my opinion at least). Teams are made of :

- 2 scouts : they mostly play on the flank. Often, there's an aggressive scout that supports the roamer and try to get picks and a passive scout, who will rather stay with the combo (pocket + medic) to protect them.

- 2 soldiers : a pock et soldier who protects the medic and takes the ubercharges and a roaming soldier whose role is to get important picks (demoman or medic), force an ubercharge or distract the enemy team.

- 1 demoman : the demoman is the damage dealer of the team : with his massive damage output, he allows the scouts to clean up the weak players and helps defending chokepoints.

- 1 medic : essential, he's the healer of the team and usually stays with the pocket. It is of a crucial importance to not drop his ubercharge, as it could eventually lead to the loss of the round for the team. He forms what we call the combo with the pocket.

Usually, scouts can offclass : they can switch to sniper, spy, pyro, heavy or engineer to make a decisive pick or defend their last point more efficiently. The roamer can also offclass. Obviously, it's not really recommended for the pocket, demo or medic to offclass (except if a player replaces him temporarily, but that's still risky in my opinion).

Then, the second most popular competitive mode : Highlander ! (9v9)

It's pretty simple here : each player plays one the nine classes available in the game : scout, soldier, pyro, demoman, heavy, engineer, sniper, medic and spy ! It's awesome to play it with friends and really funny.

It would take a lot of space to define each class' role again, so maybe take a look at the  comp.tf wiki . It's full of informations about every class in each mode (including 6v6 !) and really well made !

Maybe now you're wondering : but hey, how in hell could we play 6vs6 or HL ? It's musn't be easy to set it up.

Aahah, wrong buddy ! It's actually really simple. I haven't tried it out personnally yet, but I'm pretty sure it should work fine the way I imagined it.

1st step : TF2Center !

Maybe you've heard about TF2Lobby. TF2Center is like an upgrade of it. You can create in a few seconds your lobby, set up a password so only bronies aware of it can join and even better : you can get a free mumble server for your game ! What would it be without some communications ? Just make sure your mic is fine.   The only thing that's missing is... a server.

2nd step : serveme.tf !

serveme.tf is a great tool to reserve a server for a specifig time. Just choose a server, reserve it for the time you'll play with your buddies and there, you got your server ready ! Just copy/paste the right settings in TF2Center and then...

3rd step : PLAY !

Once the server settings have been entered, youl should be able to test the server in TF2Center to see if it's working (duh !). Once it's done, we just need players to join !

That's some ambitious project right here, since I haven't seen that much people interested in comp, even just for fun, but that's something I really wanted to share with you to maybe see if you would actually be willing to give it a try !

If you have any questions regarding this, just add me on  Steam  or Skype (ID : manesix) and I'll try to answer you as best as I could ! Any suggestions are welcome !

Thanks for reading this whole thing if you did, that took some serious motivation and I'm proud of you.

Good night everypony !

It doesn't matter if you don't play competitively, it's all in good fun ! <: Ofc it's a hell of a lot more organized than regular pubs, but I usually had fun playing lobbies, and it's even more fun when you're playing with someone. So I thought playing with bronies could make it even better !

Then, not everyone might like the competitive format of course, but I'd like to give it a try.

I found the true final boss of the Internet. Nothing can beat that. Don't try.

Hey everypony !

I was wondering if some of you would like to play competitive TF2 with other bronies. It's been a thing I've been thinking of for a long time and here's basically how it could be organized :

1. You can play 6v6 or Highlander or whatever ! 6v6 and highlander are the most popular competitive game modes in TF2 but you can still play BBall or Ultiduo (I will develop each mode if someone is wondering what the buck I'm talking about ). In order to do that, we could use TF2Center ( http://rc.tf2center.com/ ) Easy to create a new lobby, it even provides a mumble server afaik ! But you gotta come up with your own server.

2. You can borrow a server at serveme.tf. It seems pretty easy to use, you just have to set up the start and the end of your reservation and also a password so only bronies who are aware of the password can join. Then just choose the server config, the whitelist and you're good to go !

3. Just gotta enter the server's settings in TF2Center, and here you go : your lobby is ready to welcome the players !

Don't worry, my american fellas ! You can borrow a NA server here : http://na.serveme.tf/

So, just wanted to hear your thoughts : what do you think ? <:
