Last week, I debuted a new community-event I'm organizing called, "Church of Skill". Since it was good for both new players and other players in the community, I figured I'd make another post and spread it to the community-events page, since the MWO Pro topic got pinned/Church of Skill is more similar to competitive improvement.

The Church of Skill organizes on the ComStar NA TeamSpeak (na1.mech-connect.net) @ 7pmEST on Sundays, and is broadcast on http://twitch.tv/ggcloseMWO, the new Lords channel for teaching others about competitive MWO.

The goal is to have a few members of the House of Lords competitive MWO team get together with new players/players who have experience and are looking to improve. Group composition is 2-3 Lords players and 4-5 other players. As we teach the players game mechanics, we use our assumedly high Elos to drag the low Elos up and play against other competitive groups such as SJR/CSJ/228th/AS/SwK. Majority of the time, we beat these other competitive groups, and that is what this event is all about. Actually putting people in a position where they feel close to competitive MWO play. Here is proof:

Church of Skill vs. SJR

Church of Skill vs. CSJx

Feel free to hop in, ask questions about loadouts, builds, strategies, general playstyles, etc. This is meant to be a very interactive stream and community-event that promotes competitive play and helps foster it.

Thanks for reading, see you in Church.

Will check this out one of these Sundays...never had any inclination to attend church otherwise before.

I had a great time in this. May have raged once in the sjr game but everyone has a moment like that. Great time and great place to gain experience literally.

[Kin3ticX]

Highly recommend people show up.

I went last Sunday, was worth it. Wish I could attend it this Sunday... but US Army...

[Gas Guzzler]

How long you guys go for? I will be working until 7pm pacific today :/

[Kin3ticX]

As this is a duplicate thread... you will have to decide, which one you want to keep.

This one here, or the one in the new player help section. You will not keep both!

I would like to keep this one, please. Please don't completely delete the "new player" help section one though so I can send the followers messages to follow the new thread when I get home from work today. I apologize for not posting it in the right place the first time D:

Done! I never intended to delete it, as closing it with a redirecting link is definatly the better solution in this case.

Great idea, I will definitely try to join in on Sun.

[Khornite]

This is the best kinda church! The criticism is usually helpful!

[old man odin]

I've run in almost every Church of Skill so far, and it's been great fun and great help. Thoroughly recommend anyone who wants to improve their game to jump on.

Ran a few games tonight after I got my new computer set up this week. Really cool - I'm familiar with group play here from Stock Mech Mondays and other group drops - but it's still putting on the big boy pants to drop with these guys. That doesn't mean it's not fun or a great way to learn - I think the best game I had was the one on Crimson where I didn't rush hard and got stuck out back in my Jager S (yeah quirks) and half cored before I could do much - but I legged the last enemy Timber before he got me - and we won mostly because of that.
Don't be shy, and drop with them next Sunday - even if Odwalla might kill you. Better than being random team-killed by xXteamkillerXx in a Pug match, eh?

[Marmon Rzohr]

Yesterday night I joined up as well and can confirm -> awesome.

The atmosphere is very enjoyable with light banter, serious game talk and intense, close-fought drops. Honestly, everyone should join and give it a try. Unless you hate fun. Then you might not like it.

It's also a fantastic way to learn how to play the maps in this game properly !

This is in bold because learning the maps makes playing this game, especially when dropping solo, a lot more enjoyable and it has a dramatic effect on how well you perform in games.

So if I get good via attending church each and every Sunday, can I actually join the Lords?
