i dont know what youve been playing but im pretty sure comp is not just a pub with good players

that was not the implication

Tf2 invite was at its peak s11-18. Modern Invite now (s19-22) is better than s1-s10 invite

booties make demo easier, and more useful on some maps

how is that even close to an unpopular opinion lol

booties make demo way easier, and are an upgrade on every single map except MAYBE viaduct

To make it an upgrade to use the entire map, it 100% depends on how your team plays/needs your demo to play and how good your pipes are.

I think alfa is one of the best players ever, other than cw, no one on froyo was the best ever at their class, if a perfect dream team was made, i wouldnt put b4nny on it.

rofl hahaha how is b4nny not worthy of being in a perfect team the dude won invite 10 times and i-series 2 times

Olive paint is actually really sweet looking.

Don't get me wrong I think b4nny was the best player ever, but that's overall. I feel if everyone ever was in their prime right now b4nny would be ever so slightly edged out in every class. This is mostly from a dm standpoint though. As well, b4nnys calling is quite incredible, and I'm not factoring synergy at all and I think that's a massive key to b4nnys success.

you think there's a demo with better dm than b4nny???

alfa was nowhere near the best on a single class

Termo

I know that but I feel as though the fact that he plays so many classes so well puts him really high up there.

i wouldnt say that he played so many classes so well

termos up there but I still think b4nny on lan ping has done things no one else has

But we've really only seen termo on lan ping once, and I think he showed that he is more than capable of absolutely pounding with 5 ping.

Numlocked best demo. Then b4nny. Termo has good dm but I dunno his inability to adapt on badlands... Just can't put him in the same category as the other two because both Numlocked and b4nny have come up big when it counts and unfortuanately for the aussies they choked with both bulk and termo.

Last time we saw b4nny demo at an international lan it was an entirely underwhelming affair. He's still an amazing demo but you can't really call him best demo in the world.

You seem to be pinning blame on termo here? I don't really get that at all. Most people considered him best demo at that event (the stats showed him as best too). The biggest issue that Team Immunity faced at i52 was their inability to effectively deal with seagull tbh

Both B4nny and Numlocked are proven to rise to the occasion and bail their team when they needed it most. The damage that Numlocked put out vs b4nny and especially considering how strong the rest of Epsilon was at the time is unmatched. Nobody even comes close, and his consistency in doing that whether it was against lower level teams or the best teams in the world is makes me believe he was the best demo ever.

I'm not saying Termo is a bad demo either. But when it's due or die when the future of their tournament is at risk B4nny and Numlocked do much better than Termo. They can predict and respond to what the other team is going to do much better than he did when it comes crunch time. So I just can't put him in the same category, the aussies choked. They should have won those games they were the better team, and they know that. It was dreadful to watch Termo do the same thing over and over on badlands last.

termo pounded in the last game vs mixup he didn't choke at all

numlocked also took more way more heals than b4nny. as far as ive heard from people who actually played against him on demo, he was unmatched on the class because he seemed to always be covering every angle, it was incredibly hard to push through a stalemate when b4nny was watching it. he was always where he needed to be putting out lots of damage and staying safe. simply pumping out damage and tanking (as numlocked did) doesnt make someone the best demo

when i said alfa is incredibly underrated, i just meant because he is lan worthy on every roll (including being a terrific sniper) and people dont seem to acknowledge that, but i wouldnt put him on a perfect team, whereas i would put b4nny on a perfect team

idk if this is that unpopular or if it has been said already but badlands is an awful map

That's a good point and I do agree it's a toss up between the two of them. Numlocked also was the main caller I think he did an excellent job of it. The teams NA and Aussie teams that they faced at those times were arguably weaker than the subsequent lan but the other European team made up for it imo.

dude there's like pages worth of 'blands sucks' posts

Honeybadger is the best medic in eu who is still active

idk if you're trolling or what but he's not even playing medic this season, so by the same metric you could put raymon in that pool

and he's definitely not better than raymon, even if you did put him above kos/perm/condom/ondkaja

I'd rate that as a highly unpopular tf2 opinion

Mystery solved

I meant an active as in stillz plays the game full time aka hasnt quit.

Raymon might be better but hasnt played med in 3-4 seasons?

mustard is more tolerable than 90% of the people who have pathetically built a massive ego because they're slightly relevant in an irrelevant game
