Anyone got tips?

[Da_Jinks]

So I've heard about competition play and wanna try it. So I signed up for ESEA and cant wait to get started. But before I do, anyone got tips for basic gameplay? (What classes I should use, what weapons, etc.)

EDIT: What maps are there?

Aaaaand norton says the client is a virus. What?

ESEA client isn't a virus.
but just jumping into ESEA 6s isnt a good idea.
it's best to do ugc steel 6s and 6s lobbies if you're just starting

Doing MGE is a terrible metric. If you're looking to get into competitive play, just doing lobbies would be fine. They'll be sure to tell you that you suck if you do.

Go to tf2lobby.com and do some practice competitive play

My experience with tf2lobby
I join a lobby, pick my class. Someone joins in AFTER me says "he's on my class" and I get kicked. This happens three fucking times with three different groups. I never even get one match in. I then clear my history to remove tf2lobby from my history so I don't have to even see it again.

i've never had that problem
