How I vision it is not about how to get into competitive play or learning the basics, but more about how you'd envision the character you are playing. There has to be some action that gives an idea of playing competitive, I'd say the best is to focus on the team spirit. For example you could have a scene where the demo is getting piss drunk and having flashbacks about the moments where he lets his team down (missed shots, missed sticky dets, failed roll-outs etc) and he sees his team dying in front of his eyes. Then the alarm bells rings, INTRUDER ALERT, and we swap back to the present where a new focused demo does everything perfectly and saves his team. You could recycle the same scene as in the flashback but now he nails is roll-out and saves his buddies right before there died last time. Of course there also has to be something funny and clever, but whatever.

CrashSite, already did mention the newbie mix group in the document, if i remember correctly. And yeah, might do a intro video like that at some point, Koetije, but not with SFM...

One thing though: I've read through the document, and it is a big wall of text. Would be more inviting to read, if you would add some nice photo's, for example of the i-series, or some good links to nice VOD's, etc. It's easier to read through such a document when you have some eyecandy. Nevertheless nice initiative :)

If you want to draw some attention to competitive play why not make our own "Meet the competitive..." videos using SFM instead of all those fragmovies people are making? If they are funny, well directed and capture the essence of that class in competitive tf2 it might make people more interested?
