Team Fortress 2 6s Newcomer Cup: Sept. 4-6 with rookie coaching
RGL, the largest North American competitive TF2 league, and TF2 Coaching Central (TF2CC) are teaming up for the next 6s Newcomer Cup. The cup runs September 4-6, 2026, and TF2CC's four-week training intensive is open for applications until August 8, 2026.
Training for first-time 6s players
TF2CC's intensive targets players with little or no competitive experience. Accepted players are put into teams and assigned a coach to teach 6s basics, including maps and strategies, as they prepare for their first competitive event. Mirroring past TF2CC Newbie Cup events, the training period involves scrims with teammates and coach-led reviews before the RGL-run cup kicks off.
How to sign up
Players can also enter the RGL cup on their own without joining the training program. TF2CC will make coaching, learning resources, and pickup games available to the public. Signups and details are at the TF2CC Discord, with the league side at RGL.gg and the RGL Discord.
