A little over 2 hours ago, 
EG. CB launched mygamingedge.com – a site that should be added to every competitive TF2 player’s bookmarks.
We created My Gaming Edge to help bring your game to the next level. The top Team Fortress 2 players around the world have gathered to show you what it takes to be the best. These players will not only explain what’s going through their head during live matches but will show you the ins and outs of playing at the invite level, answer your questions and much more. Plus, a weekly podcast featuring the best players in the world breaking down the competitive scene here and in Europe.
The TF2 ecosystem is starving for content that will help the players and the community grow. Our goal at MGE is to do as much as possible to bring you the most up to date news, gossip, league coverage, video content and more.
Whether you are just getting started with competitive play or looking for that extra push to break through to the top level, My Gaming Edge is the place for you.
Currently all of the content is free, but there are plans for a “premium package” involving a subscription. Details on how much exactly remain to be seen, but if the content from these guys is regular, then I can’t see it being an issue.

Tweet“Premium package” -.-
- # - nice! +0nevertheless byte’s comment on his demo is pretty interesting imo.
- # - nice! +6i like unicorn
- # - nice! +3tagged as a bunch of random stuff
- # - nice! +0Personally I wouldn’t pay for this but nevertheless it seems to be a rather good idea.
- # - nice! +0Money for this? omg
- # - nice! +1dont like the site design at all but content looks good
- # - nice! +0I like the idea of the top end of the competitive community reaching out and giving something in return to help the scene.
Not sure if the “premium package” is a good idea though but it’s probably too early to say anything about that.
- # - nice! +1gamingedge will be providing, was it biweekly good content. Usually these kind of things fail to cba attitude. But CB is providing us sum compensation for our work, which is why there is an subscription fee. TBF its only 5 $ which is like what, 2 euros :)?
- # - nice! +1Really good stuff.
Shame there is a registration fee.
- # - nice! +5I would never pay for that even if this seems like a really good work.
click here for the special content and pay from your paypal.
go suck cock you retarded lamers
- # - nice! +1im fucking div1, i wont pay
- # - nice! +5depends on the content but will probably try a month.
- # - nice! +1very nice initiative, should give it a try
- # - nice! +0why do ppl exspect to get everything for free =? the stuff i watched was pretty interesting so might try it out for a month or two.
- # - nice! +0seems nice
- # - nice! +0Because what they offer is something any decent player could realize on their own by practice and watching demos?
No one needs to pay 60 bucks a year to get good at this really difficult and complicated game that’s so competitive

I beg to differ, what with the huge influx of players getting to div 1/2/3 all of like 10%?
Approxmiately 90% of players who have been playing the game for well over 1 year still fail hard and haven’t improved in the slightest and OR have but at a very slow pace.
I’m willing to bet half of the players in the top flight would still struggle with certain content shown, and If not then obviously it would shown in matches.
Paying for gaming? God Forbid not teaching with a price, whatever next?!
As darn said its not alot to pay $5, and depending on the quality of what is given then your money will be worth it. That’s why I did a free sample so people can expect to see what they get from me specifically.
Cheers
Byte
- # - nice! +7Unless your Byte, its gonna take some aim to get anywhere, and your not gonna learn that from a video. Dont expect miracles, you might learn some new insights, but its certainly not gonna bring you to the next level.
- # - nice! +2errr, the majority of people who have difficulty making it out of the lower divs are very capable of aiming but have no idea how to actually play tf2.
- # - nice! +0Just have 2 things going on in your head:
- where is my team
- where could the enemy team be as a result of the first.
Then just prefire like a baws :D
- # - nice! +0“Then just prefire like a baws :D”
very useful as scout
- # - nice! +0Paying money just to read djc lame jokes? Get real.
- # - nice! +4why is djc allowed to put content on that site?
I thought it was “The top Team Fortress 2 players around the world have gathered to show you what it takes to be the best.”
i heard that djc actually paid CB to have his article put up
- # - nice! +6Byte, I’m sure your site and your videos will be beneficial to someone out there. However, I maintain I do not think a player will be as well off if they are simply told what to do instead of learning it firsthand through in-game experience and watching others’ demos and using their own brain to analyze them, and I definitely do not think there is such a thing as a “quick fix” for players who have been stuck in lower divisions for years.
Fact is, a player who wants to get to the top level can, by doing nothing more than putting in the hours to practice and improve himself. Fata1ty said, “practice practice practice”….he never said “pay the pros to teach you all the secrets”
In the context of competitive gaming TF2 is one of the simplest, easiest, and least competitive games out there. Other “esports”, like counter strike, it’s much harder to get to the top because everyone has strong aim and strong game sense, it’s extremely difficult to get noticed, and many players eventually hit a ceiling where they are running out of ways to improve their game. In Quake live, the way to get to the top is as simple as practice and experience, but when many players have been playing quake 3 and maps like ztn and hub for over 10 years you are inevitably always behind and its hard to catch up.
So why are so many players stuck in lower divs? I don’t think any of them have anything or anyone to blame but themselves.
Regardless, good luck with your web site.
- # - nice! +7TF2 is fucking easy mode
- # - nice! +3In Quake you can blame yourself, in TF2 you can blame your team…i blame spankstarr.
- # - nice! +0“In the context of competitive gaming TF2 is one of the simplest, easiest, and least competitive games out there. Other “esports”, like _counter strike_. Really, cs, really really really ?! really ?! really ?!
Quick question can you pay to be a member for a month, dont pay for a month then pay again on the 3rd month to get access to the 2nd and the 3rd months content?
- # - nice! +35 bucks is practically nothing for this kind of content, I’ve seen people pay far more for far worse stuff. Like wow.
- # - nice! +1“errr, the majority of people who have difficulty making it out of the lower divs are very capable of aiming but have no idea how to actually play tf2.”
- # - nice! +0Too true, there are these low-div-soldiers airshotting me 24/7 on dm.
I really liked what I saw on mge, hope it helps to get more really good players and teams in tf2.
Seems like a fairly good idea to me.
Is the site locked to a specific number of contributors? I’m guessing as there’s money involved it’d be fairly unethical to take content from people without remunerating them somehow?
- # - nice! +0I dont think you should look into this site as a pure “learn how to play nubs” site. Hopefully it will turn out to be the next place for competive players to hang out and you know… do stuff =P. From both the us and eu.
- # - nice! +0“Do stuff”
You make it sound like it’s some AA meeting place :D
- # - nice! +1i think he means cock stuff.
- # - nice! +0meating place

- # - nice! +0Like hang out lie about what u did last weekend and shit. fun
