So this is kind of a really stupid question, buuuuuut...

I kinda already have a pyro teacher, 2, in fact, but does your team's medic teach at all?

Cause I kinda wanna learn a support class to assist with my gamesense.

Is this still an active group?

Hello Cygnus, I'm a Pyro on a team that took 11th in UGC Iron last season, and my team is planning to go up to Steel for the upcoming season. I'd like to improve my game as much as possible, so I was hoping to get some mentoring. Here is a link to my team's Badwater match from the last season(my team is {#} The Hivemind)- http://www.mediafire.com/download/1sn56mp1rfce13r/Bec-Badwater-Match.dem
It's not the best demo because the other team was fairly uncoordinated and was using in-game voice chat rather than Mumble/Teamspeak/etc(and they get pretty annoying), but I feel it was a good match for me personally. Please get back to me when you have the time :)

Hey there Cygnus, so glad you've got a pyro mentoring page up and runnin', now I don't have to bother all my gold pyro friends ^^

I'm goin' off on holiday.. Well, today technically, but in aout a weeks time you'll have another student, with hopefully a few scrim demos available.

Cheers for this Cygnus.

Hey Cygnus, we just played a mix together not 5 mins ago, I was the enemy pyro and you were solly. Im hoping you might consider mentoring me. Ive fufilled all of your constituents up there ^ including the optional one (my team loves spytime!). Heres a link to our match last monday.

let me know! Id love to get an oppurtunity to learn from you and shoot the ♥♥♥♥.

thanks,

I have some questions I want to ask you.

-How do you stop overextending and rush forward everytime you see a player.

-Do you have to be in the mindset of every class to be good in 1v1 situations

I still have more questions I want to ask you. Please talk to me when you and me are on at the same time. Thanks :D

Hey cygnus! I'm trying to improve on my Pyro as well. Here's a demo of a lobby in viaduct. It's one of my worse lobbies which is why i chose it on purpose to try to learn from it. http://www.mediafire.com/?16axwa2xcdz1v25
Add me or message me whenever you can. Thanks!

Hey, I'm looking to get better at pyro.

Need I say more?

Hiya Cygnus!
This is a POV of me playing on koth_viaduct.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ty4cmbztn5it54i
Thinking about going to Steel S10, but I still need to improve. Thanks!

i guess from the scrim, and in general the main questions i have are

- knowing when a spy will strike, like not just respawn and walk timing, because sometimes a spy will wait to strike, for a moment of confusion or so, how do i not get confused and be able to stop him

- completly shutting down a spy - ill often see the spy is still second or third on their teams scoreboard, even when ive protected the combo, it puts me down because i know hes still doing work somewhere, whats the best way to just completely shut him down

- and lastly, pyro dm, i feel as though ive hit a wall in my dm, and when i need to be aggressive i just dont get as much done as needed. Whats the best way to improve my dm so im more effecctive when the time calls for it ?

thanks in advance :D

Hey cygnus :)

got a demo and comms from a scrim we had tonight on Ashville.

Was essentially our first scrim on the map + a couple new / sub players to the team. Was a against a team that we would normally beat very comfortably, but we seemed scattered and let them get away with cap time

i do apologies, the recording misses like the first 30 seconds because i still havnt fixed prec, and i started recording the mumble comms just after i started recording the pov.

Hey
You've mentored me before, hoping to go again sometime. I got another scrim from when I was trying out for a high steel team. It was frontier, but it was a really close game and I think I did really well. Here's the demo:

This is my POV on koth_artic_b3. This was taken at Week 8 of Highlander Season 9 Iron.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k2695iqzl6uf25j/Week%208%20FES%20VS%20sut_.mp4

I'm currently going into Season 10 Steel, and I need to sharpen up my skills and get used to sticking w/ the combo; a flaw that really bugs my team.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dude. You guys rolled -ts- that was totally rad. Nice job.

Cygnasty your friends list if full and i need to talk to you about making a time for my mentoring session

Can you please respond

I'm wondering if we can all be mentored at the same time. I'm thinking that most of us are looking for the same improvements.

hey Cyg, I sent you a detailed message on the UGC forums. i'll be online later to discuss whenever you'd like. thanks

This is one from last night on Gullywash ringing for a friend's team. I've got plenty more where this came from, looking forward to being mentored.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get my hands on the mumble, but here's a scrim on badwater.

This is Iron Level, and I'm hoping to get into a team. I was turned down from this team, only because they noticed that although I could survive in comp, I would not thrive. So I'm looking for options anywhere.

With nearly no comp experience this is the best I can do.

BFC's first scrim, my POV

Got my demo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvmb8minwx9wa5l/20130402_2053_cp_gullywash_final1_tpc_.dem

Here's the demo on my fail first game (I wasn't at top shape).https://www.dropbox.com/s/ob0zs2fbiqvkqu7/20130325_1844_pl_upward_%23wlly_mtp.dem
I'm interested in positioning and airblasting.

So maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see a PM function through this group. I'll just post my demo from last night here. Not my best match ever, but this season hasn't exactly been full of highlights. https://www.box.com/s/z60fzxo4t4unk0oegyou Perhaps there's more to learn from an average game.

Hi Cygnus, I was referred to you from Geosus. I play with Retro Gamers (Gold) and need a mentor to continue improving. I'll post a demo later tonight (here if you haven't added me first) after matches.

i have a demo i would love to go over. it's uploaded and i'm ready whenever you're available. thanks!

Your friend Jiosassu-sama sent me here because your list is full. I hear you're a pretty good pyro mentor. Can you help me too?
