Many TPG teams have practice on Thursday. They almost always scrim, and the scrims are difficult to set up because people have different schedules etc. My proposal is this. All teams who practice on Thursday do it in the HKTS (ts5.gameservers.com:9152). There is a theme for each Thursday (maps, mechs, builds, openings, etc.) and players from all teams help each other to improve. Each participating team will receive their own private channel (captains will receive access to all channels to facilitate better communication). There will also be a main event channel for general discussions about the night's topic. What do you guys think about this? My stance is that I want to see everyone improve, not just my own team. TPG shouldn't be about winning. It should be about getting better. 

 

Comments and questions encouraged.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Or I legitimately want to help skrubs like yourself / the comp scene as a whole get better:) The ts gets a fine amount of traffic and I receive no insane benefit from increasing that number. To sum up, lol crafty trying so hard to rustle jimmies:)

If Thursday is such a big scrim day, I feel like you'd want to do this on some other day. I realize that further compounds scheduling complexities. It's just that if I were still playing and Thursdays where my scrim days, I'd want to get my scrim on. Could always have teams attend this with the added incentive of getting a scrim out of the others who attend, but that could detract from the main purpose of the event.

 

This event does sound good for some teams though.

 

Off topic, but still related to practice: I'm still confused why you guys still don't run a more optimal pug experience, i.e. in the channel with a bot. It's a really great method if people are willing to use it, you know who wants to play, and when. I'm willing to bet you guys could pump out a few extra pugs a day than you normally do. It's all around good practice for hawken skills and general team play experience.

A pug bot in the IRC channel would be great if we had more active players using the thing.  Was how most UT pugs would get going back in the day.

"Teams help each other"

I don't think any team is going to give each other tips on team play considering the competition just went into 5th gear for season 3. Maybe have a channel devoted to fight club/duel practice? I've been working with some people on duels and imo it's the best practice.

Just some food for thought.

Until there is substantial money on the line, I only see a benefit for trying to make everyone better and improve the meta of this game.
