These dudes running around sunshine with they pants down

2/4 of these people stand up to wipe and im not saying who

fun team if you can get past paul brainwashing new players into using the archaic and objectively bad way he thinks the game should be played. it takes 20 seconds minimum to decide what door to walk through, pablo dies in almost every fight to no fault of his own (usually), scream, zanda, and sleepy are all super nice with pretty strong dm.

roaming on this team was awful because it never allowed me to focus on watching flank or going for plays. i was constantly rotating to combo in an attempt to keep our medic alive.

i really wouldn’t recommend this team to anyone who wants to try to improve because nothing you will have to do will translate to any other team you play for, unless paul is on it.

its nothing personal, i really think everyone on this roster is super fucking cool, but they are probably not leaving the bottom 5 without some serious adjustments

Feel free to send me examples of what is archaic and bad because I'd love to hear your opinions. But you are perpetuating these classic paul myths. I have some sway with the team but I don't lead this team, I barely call, etc. So it's interesting how pointed this seems at me. Of course this is because I basically told you "you need to leave" so I understand how that will feel personal and there's salt involved.

The reality is that we're doing as bad as we are in no small part due to you. The moment we play with someone else on roamer we're going even or beating teams in scrims that otherwise beat us? You're 90% brawn 10% brain and almost no ability to speak while playing. With mechanics that good you could play at a really high level if you didn't play so god damn fucking stupid. I spent half the season watching you do the most abysmally dumb stuff after I was dead. (Yes you also had plenty of great shots and salvages of situations, many of which could have been going better if you just did smarter things). Your play is selfish, one dimensional pugbrain shit. You're literally a junkie for the dopamine hit you get from connecting a good shot. You put out a frag clip (you're a great editor) every couple weeks and your plays revolve around making sure you have enough footage. I'm not saying you're terrible by some wicked choice but it's like some kind of symptom of tons of pugging, ego, and airshot lust. If we're already winning you are riding high but if we're losing you're a feed machine that complains about scout class.

It's so rare that I cut people I cannot remember the last time I had to cut someone for performance. It's super rare and usually only for attitude/toxicity issues but I'm sure it must have happened in the past decade... I guess? I was asking some people on your behalf about mentorship and they said they weren't too keen because they didn't think you'd actually take feedback with your attitude. You might be roster riding on a higher level team and I'm sure that's validating but you're actually not good enough for this team. Seriously, no amount of dm is going to fix your problems and you know this. Please get a mentor. If you have enough time to play this many pugs a day then you have time to work on your gamesense at least a little.

Also validating will be when I get -fragged hard while you get +. But I don't play many pugs and mostly keep to myself while people like you perpetuate info like you wrote above in your salty state. Meanwhile you're 'networking' in pugs half the night so of course everyone loves Bumbo. Woah did you see that shot? Well if they didn't they'll see it in the frag clip.

Paul's post is full of truthful statements. I have decided to step down from both competitive TF2 and moderating this website (hence why I changed my name back to black). I have tried being mentored a handful of times and retained very little from it. I lack the gamesense and general awareness that this game requires to make any kind of reasonable progress as a player, and have decided that I want to spend my time doing different things. I appreciate the opportunity that Zanda and Paul have given me on this team and I hope they are able to find a good roamer to finish off this season.

My post, while I thought was accurate, and was my perspective, was just incorrect. It came from a place of butthurt because while Paul's frustrations were wholly warranted, the conversation after losing week 4a was far less diplomatic than “You need to leave.” It was personal and while it was exactly what needed to be said, it hurt my feelings.

I am glad that we all got to enjoy poking fun at me, and I hope everyone has a good season.

This really isn't what I wanted. I didn't want the game to lose a player. This was just supposed to be a retort to a post but I guess it got kinda carried away. I really hope you make a return. You're not any kind of bad guy at all and your attitude towards improving wasn't even bad. I sincerely believe that you can figure out a way to conquer your issues and be really amazing. Feels to me like you're already most of the way there. I'm sorry, Bumbo.

Holy wholesome

Woahwoahwoah, don't let this incident totally turn you away from TF2 forever assuming you're still passionate about the game. Nobody is a permabad player, don't let yourself think that you as a human being are incapable of improvement. Weather it be TF2 or anything else, improvement comes with consistent effort over a long period of time. I'd be willing to bet that if you really buckled down, watched tons of demos, grinded dm, & talked with better players, your skill level would go up proportionally. If I were you, I'd take a break to let the stress settle and come back to the decision in a clearer head space.
