<3 Tek

anyone who's putting harbleu above shade on med is probably not the kind of person I would want medding on a team I was on

scouts - cockwork, sheep
roamers - blaze, seagull
pockets - lansky, yuki
demos - term0, plat had his moments too
medic - shade, harb just for the GC

MVP for each class:

Scout: clockwork
Roamer: blaze
Pocket: yuki
Demo: warhuryeah
Medic: shade

I feel its unfair not to mention Mike just for the fact that he's the most DM gifted player in the world. His aim is unreal, even if he didn't play his best in the finals.

As for other classes.

Clockwork and Kiler on scouts, clock really stepped it up in the finals and Kiler for his 1st season with Epsilon did incredibly well, and proved his worth at lan.

Seagull on roamer, so many clutch plays and airshots I even lost count, tek also played out of his mind but the finals were really disappointing tbh, just felt like he was running in with no objective at all and getting killed.

Yuki on pocket no doubt, that last snakewater game was probably one of the best individual performances I have ever seen in tf2, he was literally hitting airshot after airshot in consecutive plays as well as using ubers really well, I think he had like 15 airshots by the end of it. Lansky also played really well and consistent, but his style was never flashy like Yuki.

Termo and War on demo, both played really well and had their clutch moments and crazy shots, was not expecting termo to perform like that.

Shade on medic, I think there were so many throws in this aspect, like knoxxx and harbleu (except for that play against iM) choking in crucial moments, never expected it, especially from knoxxx, Shade was probably the medic with the least mistakes in the later stages of the tournament and that probably gave them the victory.

As for offclassers, sheep on sniper no doubt, tek also landed some crazy shots but I think he abused the class, Epsilon would have benefited more from having him on soldier most of the time.

And clockwork/b4nny offclassing on last defenses, god dammit, epsilon failed like 15 last pushes against their sniper/engie/heavy/pyro or whatever combo

Saddening to see lotta iM players being mentioned and yet they came 4th :/

Scoots- cw + kiler
Roam- blaze
Pocket- yuki
Demo- termo
Med- harb
Sniper- sheep + tek
Utility- b4nny

That's a bit harsh don't you think?

scouts: cw & killer

soldiers: lansky & seagull

demo: war

med: harbleu

kiler, termo.

in my books these teams are pretty much even in terms of skill and it just comes down to how they perform on the day (maybe not froyo though? I never got to see the grand final so I never got to see their play but after the group stages they seemed to settle in and start performing a lot better, so maybe they were that extra step up from the rest). So 4th is still certainly not a disappointment, especially after the games they put out

also from the games i watched, seagull performed incredibly (how many times did he get bonobo on snake v iM saving his team from a last hold v uber? insane play)

Coleman MVP for Europe

duwatna best demo i52

gotta give duwatna a mention for his 2nd LAN

scout: sheep - he went toe to toe with the best players on lan and quite often won, a consistent play maker

pocket: mike - yeah yuki had the airshots and lansky had the stats but there's a reason MGE Mike was the number one player to shut down on lan

roamer: seagull - save for game one against Epsilon, seagull influenced the game more than any other player

demo: war - war over termo only because termo couldn't adapt away from sitting on badlands last waiting to right click

medic: harbleu - yeah shade, knoxx, and mirelin are probably better overall but harbleu had the play of the lan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Scout: kiler4funn
pocket: yuki
roamer: seagull
demo: termo
medic: harbleu because the ubersaws and crossbows

Negative KAD in every single game. Meaningless trash damage, always trying to do a one man army play and failing horribly.

Mike always went in situation with disadvantages which his extreme DM saved him most of the time.

If you are going to say "he was doing the double roamer strat" remember that blaze, seagull, Lansky and even TLR sometimes all played "the double roamer" in the tournament. and did tons more stuff done than him. Mike was the biggest disappointment in i52.

There are people saying Mike played better than Blaze, What a joke.

inb4 people say that I am hating... I am not, all I have listed here is what happened in i52.

yeah man if you were playing instead of mike things would have been different for sure

Are you seriously going to say that instead of proving I am wrong someway?

Wow...

My TL;DR is basically: I expected much more than Mike. And I know I am not the only one who feels that.

how does a roamer play the "double roamer strat"

Blaze and seagull were a part of the strat that's what I am saying.

Pocket: Lansky
Roamer: Blaze/Tek
Scout: Clock
Demo: War
Medic: shade

mike had retardedly good dm and did really well
epsi's scouts got kinda smashed in the grand finals
name a single soldier in europe that would have done better than mike on epsi
1

clockwork, snowblind, yuki, seagull, termo, harbleu

Zebbo.

Edit: I like how you don't even read what I am saying. I am saying that mike should've done better and you are reading like I said that mike is a shitty player lol.

Yuki come to NA

bad ammo management
always takes at least 2k more damage than the other pocket
worse dm than mike

ur putting the blame in the wrong place m8
