Title: Hello!
Post by: Saint_M on February 08, 2010, 09:41:28 AM: Just posting to introduce myself. I found my way here from Smurf's post on Commforums. I'm looking for a low TF2 clan as I now at least know what I'm doing in the game and pubbing (with the incessant pyro/spy shenanigans) is just 'meh'. I'd much rather be scrimming and playing with 5 other mates, getting better as a team, etc..

Previously competed in ET:QW with Team Crossbreed, CoD4 with CB and First Generation and I'm looking for a new game to have some competitive fun with now. TF2 is a game that actually makes me laugh out loud and I think that playing comp would be a blast (even with the inevitable steamrolls while gelling with the team). I'm a low solly and med; I might be a low demo but it's tough to learn that position in pubs.

To be honest, I don't think I've even been on your pub but that will change now that I know where to find it.

Real life info: 36, married for 12 yrs, four young boys, self-employed Landscape Architect. Kansas City metro is home.

Hope you all are still considering at least TWL. I'll plan to hop on vent and say 'hi' as well.

We had a CEVO team last year but realized very quickly that we need a LOT of practice as a team since Pub play is so different; if enough people are motivated this year, we would certainly give it a shot.

Do you think this is a possibility? Pubbing can be fun but per my OP I'm really looking to get my feet wet in TF2 competition.

As to your experience with CEVO I can certainly understand. I took a .500 Call of Duty 4 team in CAL-O to CEVO-A and couldn't get a single win - it basically killed the team.

I'd run med or solly if we tried something 'light' like TWL :-D
