Roamers of the past

I learn that there's a good chance that I won't have internet access for multiple months this upcoming summer which is kinda a kick in balls dude to the fact I finally have 2 workings hands to the point I feel comfortable playing tf2 to a completive degree rather than my typical fuckin around with other friends in similar boats of having disabilities. So rather than waste the time I was wonder who were the roamers to watch in the past? I started watching comp tf2 around March of last year so I already know about those guys (tag, wonderwall, ect) but I've never really dived into the vods before or seen much outside of invite games being casted and rather than waste space on a shitty laptop drive by downloading all the vods I can, I figured I'd could ask you guys since. I don't care what level or scene the roamer plays or played in, more of just games or good highlights to try and get used to the mindset of roaming since most of my hours are in medicing. I don't normally do this kind of thing but since I won't really get much notice of if I'll be stuck on the family trip or not I figured the worst thing that can happen is a -frag.

I get that medics are in much higher demand than roamers, but healing bots and surfing all day doesn't sound as much fun as learning rocket jumping and dissecting people's decisions for hours on end.

jaeger, ww- are the two who stand out the most, jaeger hasn't been involved in the tf2 scene for years though..

edit: mackey was a notorious roamer but he wasn't particularly good, just very unpredictable

I heard rr played a mean roamer.
And milehigh doesn't get enough attention tbh.

Relic, Seagull, blaze, Mike, prolly my fav.'s
Recently, Memphisvon. That guy is amazing.

I remember hearing of an amazing aussie roamer, Euphoria I think was his name. I'm not even sure how you could go about getting an stv/pov of him, but apparently he was great.

EDIT:

Lights_ His name is aporia, yuki has some demo reviews of him in his thread :)

thanks!
I also forgot blaze wtf how?

i remember relic on roamer, probably had the best aim of all the roamers at the time because he was moved to pocket in favour of big tyler. the dude went HUGE on s10 lan, in my opinion the best comeback of all time in competitive tf2 <3

milehighmilitia is probably one of the most underrated roamers. Almost nobody throws his name around. He does some serious work on Vector, but it just doesn't stand out because he's on a weaker team.

visitor, occasionally as an example of what not to do probably, such as doing 0 damage with 4 rockets

i'm joking, pretty sure he wasn't THE best but still better than most other roamers

I'm sure you can easily find clips of every top roamer in the game having similar "fuck ups" at one point or another, but unlike them, I had the pleasure of getting it shown on stream. And there really is no use to watch demos of old roamers simply because the role of roamer has evolved so much and changes from team to team. Watching WW play his specific role on his team is not going to help you learn your role on your team, but it is going to give you a better sense of the game and that's about it

Not really roamers but original beast soldiers
Reptile
mad dogz nsk

Reptile was one of the first few to abuse aggro jumps and crazy aim in the days before MGE
