Long time reader, first time poster, but here we go :)

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197962847531

Nickname : Bear

Age : 22

4) No specific mentor

5) I'm currently in a mid div 6 wireplay team, participated in the etf2l highlander group stages but didn't like the 9 vs 9 dynamic. Have 125 scout hours and 80 lobbies as scout. First started playing competitive 2-3 months ago.

6) I aim okay, but could be improved, but what I really lack is knowledge and deathmatching skills. I know the basics of what I should be doing at any one time, but I am sometimes doubtful of what to do, when to sub-class, when to stick with team and when to flank. I've read alot of info, seen alot of demos but could really use a mentor for a push in the right direction and to improve my game.

7) Every day 4-11pm GMT, UK Based. Only doubtful day is wednesday/saturdays.

8) Seeking

hey i'd love to help you out but it's harder to mentor scouts across the pond :)

I'm a little confused about your problem. You aim ok but you lack deathmatching skills? You know the basics but am doubtful of what to do? Confusing.

Hey. Well as some people have mentioned, the mentoring system for EU isn't popular at the moment. I can elaborate a bit more on what I need help with.

1) What I mean by aiming okay but lack deathmatching skills is, I can aim when the focus isn't on me, but in a 1v1 situation, my movement can be predictable and need tips on this, where to move to, when to retreat, how agressive to be versus which classes.

2) I lack knowledge on where to move and when, when to assist my team as a group push, when to cap point, how to hold the flanks and when to push their flanks, how to tackle a mid fight, whether to attack their scouts or push on demoman/medic and what situations favour each of these best, when to link up with other scout and when to attack alone given a advantageous situation.

3) What to do on a mid fight. I have said I need help on a mid fight, but these is a main key of my game im missing. Also when we win/lose a mid fight, whether to offclass, i.e charging uber to push to their last whether to swop to sniper/or swop to heavy/pyro on defense or stay with scout.

I know the basics but have alot to learn and could do with some 1 on 1 help. Lobbies and scrims help me, but I don't know what I'm doing is correct. Hopefully this helps you on specifics.
