Hey there everybody,

nervousENERGY and IDK have teamed up to create a steam group for new TF2 players to try their hand at competitive TF2 in a relaxed and friendly environment. The only requirement is that you can use mumble, we demand communication! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/6v6newmix

It's a simple system whereby an admin of the group will post an event in steam saying when the mix will take place, usually about half an hour after the announcement is made, anyone wanting to play just needs to comment on the event page which class they would like to play, the admin updates the list as they post, the mumble details are given out on the event page, server details given out in mumble and then we go play. We try to get at least one player with experience, (the admins), on each team to help with calling, positioning, when to push etc. We have a good list of people willing to help out and the thread on etf2l, http://etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-17769/page-1/ , has brought us a few more.

The group has only been in existence for about 10 days and the demand for mixes is pretty high, we're doing as many as 7 a day at the moment! The guys who have joined the group are all nice, friendly people and the matches are always good fun. We have over 200 members currently and it's growing daily. Feel free to have a look at some of the mixes we've organised already here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/6v6newmix/events . We already have 2 new 6v6 teams being born thorugh these guys getting together, playing some TF2, loving it and wanting to make a team, we're hoping these will be the first of many.

Just thought I'd post here to introduce you all to the whole thing and invite anyone interested along for some good old 6v6 action whenever you feel like it. Join the group and watch for the announcements popping up regularly through the day.

If any of you more experienced players want to get involved with some minor mentoring or becomming an admin and hosting a few mixes, feel free to add me or Chaplain on steam and we can have a chat.

Good luck and have fun

Great idea Monkeh, good to see it's so popular as well.

I know we have had some people show interest in comp before, I hope they come out the woodwork and sign up. Anyways, keep up the good work mate.

Very nice indeed!

Hey monkeh, thanks for the heads up. There are loads of players around here with massive potential that if they should choose to try some 6v6 would go so far.

Indeed...and don't let (self-perceived) badness stop you, sign up, give it a go. No one's going to yell at you for missing a meatshot/rocket/pipe etc (or so I'm assuming). It's funsies.

I'm definitely joining this.

I may try this :O, sounds fun

Nice idea, hopefully it encourages people to form up teams or join new ones

Nobody should be put off from giving it go whatever your skill level, no-one is allowed to rage, it's in our rules, and if a team rolls the first map we simply mix the teams up so the next round is a bit more balanced.

Although we're a new group we have 2 new teams being formed already, so it's really exciting tbh. Pretty much everyone who's played has enjoyed it and leraned a hell of a lot, so yeah, it really doesn't matter if you think you're bad, we'll help you out and no-one will mind or call you names, that's a promise

Here's to playing with some of you guys soon...

We're organising a HUUUUGE mix night tonight with the group. We have 4 servers available for matches tonight, so we need 8 teams to play!

Sign up here, http://steamcommunity.com/groups/6v6new ... 0312278723 , and let's go have some fun
