What is Asiafortress Academy (AFA)?

 

In short, it’s a friendly and easy avenue for players new to the competitive scene to dabble in 6v6 TF2, without getting steamrolled or raged at by more experienced players.

 

We’re aware that some of the more experienced players in the community can be rather mean and intimidating, so we intend for AFA to be a less stressful training ground for newbies. AFA will have an Academy PUG (Pickup Game) server set aside specially for it, where newbies can try their hand at competitive 6v6 TF2 playing against others of similar standard and experience. More experienced players will not be allowed in the server, unless they are offering to mentor newer players.

 

Like the other PUG servers, pickup games starting in AFA will be announced via the Steam Group. Do join to receive these notices!

 

Who can be part of AFA?

 

Only players who are new to competitive, 6v6 TF2 are allowed to play in AFA PUGs. This includes players who have never tried PUGs/scrims before, as well as some players who’ve tried it but feel that they could use some help getting better.

If you’re not sure whether you fall into this category, do check with our friendly admins, Emir and Kig, if you can play in AFA PUGs.

 

Experienced players may also volunteer to mentor these newer players. Mentoring is only as heavy a commitment as you want it to be; you could choose to do something as simple as answering questions, or even as dedicated as adopting a team/player and guiding them through all their games.

Approach Emir or Kig if you’re interested.

 

Admins will check the group regularly to ensure that only newer players participate in the AFA PUGs. Action will be taken against those who attempt to troll or ruin the game experience for the newer players.

 

What happens at the launch of the AFA server?

 

You'll get to be part of the very first AFA PUG! We’ll also have friendly mentors on hand who’ll show you the basics of 6v6 TF2, and how to play each class in a PUG. It’s a great chance to get to know them, so you can ask them to help you later on.

 

How do I sign up?

 

Simply post a reply in this thread, saying you’re interested.
