Team Fortress 2 News

TF2 Coaching Central is announcing their tenth North American Newbie 6s Cup, a learning experience and friendly competition for people who are new to competitive 6v6.

Players with no or minimal competitive experience can sign up to be placed on a team of six, led by coaches who will teach the basics of the 6v6 format and help you learn the maps. Teams have a total of four weeks to learn and train together before facing off in a tournament with a prize pool of 18 keys for the winners and runners up. TF2 Coaching Central's previous Newbie Cup events which have been running since 2021 have successfully prepared many players and teams to continue competitive play in RGL, the biggest North American TF2 league.

Signups are open now, and the deadline to apply to be placed on a team is April 4. Team and coach assignments will be made by April 7 and tournament matches (with select matches casted live on Twitch by Fireside Casts) will be the weekend of May 3-4, 2025.

Check out the Discord for more info. Whether you're looking to dip your toes in competitive TF2 or a more experienced player looking to mentor newbies, feel free to join the community - with learning resources and pickup games running daily! All skill levels are welcome!
