sup buds. I'm going to be doing weekly map reviews throughout the season covering the ESEA map of the week. I'll try to go over each class and their roles on the map during holds, pushes, mids, and other things.

I'll be doing it Friday at 5pm cst on my stream @ http://www.twitch.tv/seanbud

If you have any suggestions on topics to cover for cp_gullywash or the map reviews in general please let me know.

Here is a general outline I will try to follow:
Scout:
Mids
Pushes/holds
Offclass options

Soldier:
Mids
Rollouts
-Pocket: Ubers
-Roamer: Positioning

Demo:
Mids
Sticky traps
Pushes

Medic:
Heal rollout
Ubers
Holding positions

Like I said if you have any specific questions you can post them here or just stop by in stream chat and ask during appropriate sections I will try to answer them.

The VOD will be uploaded to my youtube Immediately afterwards.

What about rollouts for demo? I know the common/basic ones, but I'd appreciate a review of them and lesser-known variations, if any exist.

Should all 6 go to one side or the other or should you split up more?

The question on my mind is

from mid, how to break the 2 hold where combo etc stand on their battlements

bl4nk says leave your demo (and maybe roamer?) at choke and take the rest of your team through flank/lobby and behind them

would like to know your opinion, thanks in advance

Viable offclasses? I've heard heavy, pyro, and sniper can work, when could they be useful?

Kritz a good idea?

Roamer running shotgun?

Roamer questions:
Is Gully a viable shotgun map? I've always felt all the low chokes made it a really bad map for jumps, so I usually run shotgun on Gully.
On mids, should you initiate or delay and follow up?
When attacking mid from a 2nd hold, is going through dropdown and jumping behind them something that is only effective against uncoordinated teams, or is it worth using against any team?
Is there an entrance to last that is best to jump from for an uber force?
