I don't see a post around here advertising the Reddit NS2 PUG community. I thought it is strange to not have it stickied here since it's probably one of the largest, most active community groups in the NA that brings a new level of NS2.
Do you love NS2? Are you not a part of the competitive community, but you think it might be fun to play more serious NS2 games with a group of competent, and willing players? Interested in playing 6v6, 7v7, and rarely even 8v8 pick-up-game matches that are almost always tailored to be two evenly matched teams?
Or maybe you want to get your feet wet in the competitive NS2 community, but you've never played a match, and don't know the first thing about competitive play?
Join the NS2 Reddit PUG community on steam! Receive broadcasts from the group every time a game is about to get started and take part in what NS2 was MEANT to be. Be careful, you might just never play a public game again! Also be sure to setup the mumble, as all comms are done there. There is also almost always a group of people in a channel there somewhere playing NS2, organizing matches, and generally having a good time.
This is one of NS2's most active and longest lasting communities catering to competitive and semi-competitive play. Join us!

Gathers are still run for EU players primarily as well on ensl.org
Edit: before you comment 'that it will get better', remember I have 15 years at PC gaming, so I know my limits and as far as aiming goes, I am at about 90% capacity right now for how good I could get, and I can't do shit against these guys. A2 / w2 with a shotgun and I'm barely able to kill 1 lone skulk. Don't know how you guys do it, with how twitchy the model animations get, even if I do land a decent shot its only for 70-80 dmg and before I can load the next shell I'm dead. Oh well, I'll keep an eye on the community and if enough people get into it maybe there will be a place for my mediocre skills.
There's also been a shift in the pugs towards higher level players and they're kinda edging out the lower skilled people. Its a problem because the original founders aren't running it in as casual a manner as it was before. I gotta see what we can do because noone likes being the fat kid.
So fell free to invite me if you lack players
dude, we take all types. PUGs are fun because there's a large range of skill. You don't have to be good at ALL for PUGs. Just listen to your comm and tell the guys that you wanna learn.
Sry,I am just completely new to ns2 competitive and I have 0 clue how to get into a competitive match,I am just use to a bit more popular games who have automatic ranked match system implemented.
It's a community run PUG system so it isn't implemented into the game.
