Inspiration!

Didn't you also include some tips a while back on how to improve teamwork and player relations?

I remember someone did that and recommended that TF2 teams try playing other games together. Really a great suggestion. Would imagine that Mario Kart over emulator would be boss for that.

be sure not to joke around on the way to mid

Definitely consider Deathanchor's idea. Back then when I used to play competitively, it's the best way to build synergy and relations with ya teammates. <3

Very nice guide; thanks for posting!

Are you talking about this?

I know I'm quite late to this post, but this is a must-read for any team leader, main caller, or general player. There are a lot of mistakes that I was shrugging off, but this post plain old called me out on that. Thanks Hooli, you're awesome.

This is a really great guide on teamplay. Very useful.

I don't mean to nitpick, though, but I disagree with the reason girls play medic. I'm female and have been playing off and on since '07. I wanted to play soldier (with scout as second choice), but so did everyone else on my team. I backed off because I didn't have the confidence to have that confrontation.

In general, I think girls have less experience (and therefore confidence) in competitive gaming than guys do, and it's almost impossible to get turned away as a medic. Someone somewhere will always want one.

Also, we're all socialized to believe that females have the societal responsibility to be the "peacemakers," including women, and that increases girls' fear of confrontation.

Before TF2 I played games where everyone had a gun. Climbed the (small) competitive ladder, got picked first in pugs, etc. But everyone was on even playing ground--there wasn't a class no one wanted to play. Since TF2, I ended up maining medic just because that's the class people asked me to play.

the majority of female TF2 players that I am aware of main medic. it's not really very scientific but it's just my observation

its because its the easiest class
if you can tie your shoes you can play medic

Dingo... you have not seen Nonis play medic! It might have also been b/c he couldnt go sniper. *sigh*

On a side note, nonis can you tie your shoes? Geez.

i wouldnt be surprised if a lot of the people on this website couldnt tie their shoes

Mr. the Slin has literally admitted on stream that he calls someone low when they're not, so that people will focus them. How do you feel about this blatant sacrilege

Not to start a massive gender discussion, but Hooli's reasons for why women play medic are pretty bogus. Hrmph is right.

I was thinking "damn what an insightful post" until I saw THIS

You god damn liar.

Yeah, I understand that girls are capable of playing combat classes and perform well; some of my friends do. It was a joke at best; just poking fun at the fact that a disproportionate amount of medics are female. The reason for that? I'm not sure but you're reasoning is sound. I'm interested and would like other girls medics to share their perspective on this.

we should get a hooli's how to convince other players that you're good when in reality you're absolute dogshit guide

"demo is raped" then the demo kills me and is at 190

you're lucky that pey was on that team and that pt didn't want to play which resulted in okie not getting replaced by pt.

everyone would realize then how two-faced you and devon are

maybe one day you'll be able to bullshit your way into invite. god knows it's been 3 years already

I have no clue what the backstory is to this, and I have no idea who is in the right (if anybody), but a public forum probably isn't the best way to communicate your frustration to hooli dude jeeze

who was this young man? i like his style.

what if you're afraid to communicate because you have a speech impediment and are afraid of fucking up your calls?

yeah, keep blaming the world for your problems. you got cut because you're bad and toxic, not because pey, devon and i were plotting against you to further the cause of our circlejerk. you're paranoid and a fool if you think that. take some responsibility; when you take responsibility for your misfortunes you gain the power to avoid them by changing, not the world, but your own behavior. now if you would kindly not leave a trail of autism droppings wherever you walk we'd all appreciate that.

you're almost definitely going to fuck up your calls, but that needs to happen before they become good. embrace the fuck ups.

i'm honestly surprised you still hold that against us till this day. it's been like 8 months... lol.
