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

Players with little to no competitive experience can sign up to be placed on a team of six, led by a coach who will teach the basics of how to play the 6v6 format and help their team learn the maps. You'll have four weeks to learn and practice together as a team before facing off in a tournament. Prizes include keys and a month of free private server hosting. Past Newbie Cup events have been stepping stones for many players and teams to play in RGL, the biggest North American competitive TF2 league.

Sign ups are open now, and the deadline for applying to be placed on a team is April 14. Team and coach assignments will be made by April 19 and tournament matches will be the weekend of May 20-21.

Whether you're looking to dip your toes into competitive, you're a more experienced player looking to mentor newbies, or you're a fresh install, feel free to join the community - all skill levels are welcome! Check out the TF2 Coaching Central Discord for more info!
