I’m looking for Mid-High Amateur or low IM teams to scrim this Thursday at 9:30 and 10:30.
We are able to host.
We’d like to play clearcut as our map and another map of your choosing.
Also open to schedule regular scrims weekly with teams.

I can think a few reasons for this phenomenon:
1: They are simply tired of highlander and/or the team
Although not a good reason to bait your team during playoffs, oftentimes players don’t want to play highlander anymore. At the start of playoffs, unestablished teams are just starting to create bonds with their teammates (for better or for worse) and this can create tension between players. Sadly, many players might not want to play with players that yell at them. For example, a medic that is new might not be perfect (shocking) and during something stressful like playoffs, players act more toxic.
2: They are tired of losing
Because of how many of rgl playoffs brackets work, (where bottom seed fights top seed) many players might feel hopeless and therefore unmotivated to play at all. This is especially true if they’ve already lost to the team their facing during the regular season.
3: Playoff games are stressful and people aren’t confident
The last one I can think of is players that don’t feel like they’re the best player on their team and might feel as if a ringer or sub would work better than they can under the pressure of a playoff match. This happened to me one of my first seasons in open (amateur). I didn’t feel like I was pulling my weight and didn’t want to let my team down. I didn’t bait the match but I was very stressed and wanted to preform well.
4: Poor planning and season timing
Many comp tf2 players are young and therefore often don’t look ahead very much. This leads to families going to vacation and taking your players with them. Because of when the season is set, this also tends to happen during playoffs.
Those are all the reasons I can think of why people might purposefully bait playoff matches more than regular matches.
Hello! I’m looking for a few more main teams to tryout for next season. I’m looking for a team that wants to get better together and possibly stay together through multiple seasons. I welcome criticism and try to get better any way I can while having fun with chill people.
Looking for tryouts for all classes except medic for a scrim team. We will likely be playing season 9 in IM or main. Sergeant Salad#7801
Hey, I’m changing it up and trying out sniper this coming season. I’ve played up to advanced as other classes like soldier and spy. I’m really just looking to give sniper a try and try to improve.

I got to watch pmn throughout the season. He show quick and major improvements and is ready to be an excellent addition to a main team.
