present scout players? or just good flank scouts in general

Good FLANK scouts in general... So I can maybe watch their demo and learn

clockwork

starkie or clockwork

• Starkie
  
• Full Tilt Thalash (i think he's playing pocket scout now)
  
• clockwork
  
• cyzer
  
• shrugger
  
• evl yomps
  
• freestate
  
• slemnish
  
• idk which one played flank scout but both scouts of last season's evl (scizor and sen)
  
• both scouts for bird noises (arekk and corsa)
  
• epsilon scouts (GeaR, basH, killer4fun, schocky, etc)
  
• flippy

Thank you guys :)

fairly sure enigma played a flank scout role if youre looking into older demos

GeaR WutFace
btw kiler is not a flank scout
on topic: stark is probably the best scout to learn from

did the whole pocket / flank scout meta shit exist back in the epsilon days?
idk about i49 and i think it did in i52

the only time i played flank was when i played with froyo black in playoffs last season and a tiny bit this season to try things.
cyzer plays heals/combo

also, some of those teams don't/didn't really have a "flank and combo" structure for scout.

Pocket / flank isnt meta now? Or did I get you wrong?

IT IS the meta, but im not sure if that was the meta back then

yeah that's why i putted most epsilon scouts there because i think they didn't run flank / pocket scouts back then

oops wrong place

well it was far less strict, but bash was mostly on the flank and schocky would sometimes push with the combo, back when wltrs played he was more of the combo scout.

flank scout is sad because team just bait u! play like b4nny

may go a little agains the grain here, but i dont think watching prem/invite level scouts will really help this guy. the dynamic between scouts and soldiers changes a lot at higher levels of play and watching people like stark/clockwork mow through them could be a bit misleading.

just keep that in mind, dont spend too much time pondering about gamesense and huge plays and get your dm up.

It is useful to watch your own demos/stvs, but it is most definitely important to also watch other people's demos, because there will always be little things you can pick up. You should have a big enough brain to distinguish the difference why some things they do at a high level only work because they simply hit their shots, had good movement, and had good timing/coordination with their team and mere support from their team as well. I personally think at a lower level, however, you should put more emphasis on watching stvs with a purpose to learn more about the game--learning more about how to take advantage of uber/number ads on each part of every map, for example--rather than the main purpose being little tips about a class. Obviously practice your dm, but there are a ton of dm lords with no real sense of how the game functions.

No matter what you're viewing, though, watching through an stv is infinitely more useful than pov demos.
