    	    <description><![CDATA[Hello everyone,

Let me start with <strong></strong>A brief summary of TF2 Classic<strong></strong> first.
TF2 Classic is the most popular mod of TF2, and is coming to Steam in 2025.
Already fully released in 2020 (available with a few clicks), it has been the only way a whole community plays Team Fortress for years now.
https://tf2classic.com/download

It is an alternative universe version of the early era TF2, including unique game modes such as VIP, and what it could have become currently, with major updates still being released by a developer team who cares.

<strong></strong>CompTF2C<strong></strong>
TF2C Competitive Discord server has been active since 2023.

It has been used mainly for organizing and playing TF2 Classic PuGs. Nowadays, we are going bigger than that, with exciting events on the horizon; and we are following a more regular schedule with the PuGs. Every Friday, and Saturday: EU, and North America, including many players from South America and other regions as well.

You can visit us on https://comptf2c.com/, join the Discord server and participate in the PuGs.
https://discord.com/invite/Z7QRYGt8Yn

We are looking forward to seeing you there.]]></description>

sorry for the long text

    	    <title>New topic: &#8220;EU Newbie Mixes - Learn how to play 6v6 every Friday night &#124; newbie.tf&#8221; by Samus</title>
    	    <link>https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-36079/?recent=577621</link>
    	    <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://i.ibb.co/rtbLHKm/Newbie-Mixes-Logo-Remake-EU-thin.png">EU Newbie Mixes - Powered by newbie.tf &#38; TF2IsPwn</a>

You are new to competitive TF2 and would like to learn more about 6v6, but the whole process just seems too intimidating to you and you don't know where to start? Then Newbie Mixes are the right thing for you! You can learn how to play 6v6 in a low pressure learning environment, aided by experienced coaches. Sadly the EU region hasn't really had a project like this for a while, until now!

https://newbie.tf is expanding to Europe and will start running newbie mixes every Friday evening starting at 20 (8 pm) CEST. In these mixes you will be drafted into two teams together with other newbies with one coach per team who will be guiding you while you play. Each mix is intended to last between 1 and 1.5 hours (up to 30 minutes play-time plus however much time is needed for coach discussions).

<strong>Here are some short videos to get you started:</strong>

- What is competitive TF2? &#124; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=708GnEGMPOM
- What are the basic TF2 strategies? &#124; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyFZ8MYDKVs
- Welcome to cp_process! &#124; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8t6JL5ANRQ

<strong>Do I need a microphone? What program is used for communication?</strong>
You will need a microphone in order to communicate with your team mates, coaches and admins. We use Mumble for in-game communication and the drafting process and Discord for any special announcements and community discussions.

<strong>I am an experienced player and would like to coach. Can I join?</strong>
If you have played in ETF2L Mid or above, have no active league bans and want to join as a coach to teach new players, hit me up on Discord (Amaterasu#8053).

For more information, visit https://newbie.tf/faq/, join the Newbie Mixes Discord (https://discord.gg/9uDQNcs) and read through the #weekly-mix-faq channel on there.
(Note: Keep in mind that some of the information on the website and Newbie Mix Discord are still geared towards mainly NA players, this will change in the future.)]]></description>

    	    <link>https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-35932/?recent=576573</link>
    	    <description><![CDATA[Hello Gamers of European Team Fortress 2 League

TestCo.tf is a map testing group that has been around for almost five years now, providing services to mappers in the competitive capacity for that long. We were the group who supported and tested for the mapper SturmTea who made koth_clearcut, Kevin gator for cp_villa for 6s, and many more!

Our system works by selecting your region (EU) and then we will ask for you to provide your ETF2L profile to be approved by an admin.

-There will be no divisional limits on classes
-We use a dice roll to determine who plays med, instead of a last to spec system
-Fri/Sat @ 19 CET/CEST
-We typically test 2 maps per night, if there’s enough demand from our mappers
-Players who missed out on a pug game will always be playing the next match every time, regardless if you just joined after the game started or weren’t picked. 
-All test games will be streamed or recorded by admins/pug runners.
-You must submit your ETF2L profile to be approved to play
-The minimum requirement to play EU 6s is Low

If you have any specific questions for the mappers of our discord or want to provide feedback for a mapper, feel free to @ him or DM him in our discord.

I am very excited to meet you all and I hope to continue to further TF2 to the best it can be.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note we will be looking for new admins and pug runners for TestCo.tf for EU, as we currently don’t have any admins. For those who would like to become an admin and help out with map related things, please refer to Dwaggy#2288
