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.

In NA it is currently off-season which has lead to several changes in the top tier teams.

Evil Geniuses (who finished third at ESEA LAN Playoffs) “cuts” both sycknesS (scout) and pheLon (soldier). They will be replaced with ruwin (scout, who used to play medic) and Seagull (soldier). Seagull was in Blight who finished 2nd at the ESEA Lan. Ruwin was also in Blight at the beginning of the season, but unexpectedly quit TF2.

Kermit is leaving Pandemic (who will be under a new name since their sponser died) after not making it to the ESEA LAN (Pandemic were forced to use Shade who some people had never heard of). He will be replaced by Droog, a top level ESEA-Open (mid-low d2) demoman, who will be on his first ESEA roster.

A new invite level team (Division 1) is forming and has an expected roster of paladin (scout/soldier), punisher (scout), syckness (scout/sniper), grillz (medic), hong (soldier), dummy (demoman) and the return of boodah (sniper/scout). It has not been announced who their main 6 players will be.
