Tournaments
Most of the time, you will get stomped if youre on a pug team that is facing a premade team. The premade will just be more coordinated and there is nothing you can do about that.
When Im on a pug team I at least try to organize some form of strat before the match starts. Sometimes it works (I have won a few tournaments with random pugs)…but normally everything turns to chaos when the match starts and we get stomped.
If you want to win Tourneys consistently, get on teamspeak or mumble and get on a solid team.
pretty much what xanto said..
you do not have to have a preset group to win at all.. I have 158 tourny wins all completely from pugs..
altho there are strategies being discussed before the match and we communicate though out the game..
it really depends on your set up professions/builds/plan..
find a role that you can do well
bunker, roamer, support ect then just try find semi decent pugs
Free tournaments are in a bit of a bad spot right now because the recent paid tournament changes have been so popular. Most of the “average” level players are doing paid tournaments with a group, leaving a bunch of new players to pug and a few really good groups of three or four players who are waiting for a fifth person to do paids with.
I think they’ll get a lot better in the next couple of months.
