Welcome to NA Pugs!

What is a PUG?

A PUG is a practice method in which players, teammates or not, are scrambled into quick games and play in a competitive format. PUG stands for Pick-Up Game, implying a fast and easy experience. This group is for 6v6 PUGs! HL, 4v4, and Ultiduo may be held in the future. If you have any questions, ask Elk or Harby directly or comment on the group's main page.

When are the PUGs?
PUGs are at semi-random times throughout Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Announcements will be made as the PUG is starting. The game info will also be in the announcement.

How do I talk to my team?
We don't use an external form of communication. You can use In-Game chat. This is to avoid struggle with external programs as well as ruining the easy Pick-Up Game aspect of simplicity. In case you were wondering, the match server is hosted in Dallas, Texas. This should allow stable and moderately low ping for all. Maps are picked with a randomizer.

What are the rules?
1: Cooperate with admins and moderators.
2: Please try to stick to the Meta! We all want practice!
3: Don't severely offclass from the Meta unless it will be beneficial.
4: No exploiting any bugs of the game that could cause an unfair win.

Server Plugins
Nothing too special running right now, but there's a few things. SM for bans, LogsTF/SupStats/MedicStats for logs. Other plugins are mostly for messing around at non-PUG times.

No prizes right now, maybe later

Have fun!
