tl;dr Rigel takes 40% heals.

I get stuck on scout.

the teams I had the least faith in somehow ended up better than I expected and the team I had the most faith in somehow ended up worse than I expected. Unfortunate, I guess. Linkuser and boomer are also the greatest players/teammates of all-time for never being tilted/rustled in an annoying way while playing on -bird noises-.

s17 - two days after i decided i'd "quit" surfing and start playing tf2, truktruk coincidentally asked me if i was interested in playing on an esea open team with the surf squad, a rag tag team with tf2 surfing pals

s18 - in the off season i thought i was done with tf2 because i began surfing a lot, but then i was asked to play in syops pugs a few times and got to know some people there. i later put lft in my name and kanon asked me to try out, eventually picking me up for his team with trip, safrix, blues, and idrae. we would go on to conquer the prestigious open division

s19 - after an open championship we were eager to compete in intermediate with more less the same roster -idrae +extracrispy. there were many ups and downs, but in the end we finished playoffs loosing, as our pocket, trip, was banned for account sharing.

s20 - the first real first manifestation of my scout main discontent would come in the offseason after s19, not enjoying the class i would demand to be put on pocket. my team would refuse to put me on pocket so i left. after not knowing what i would do, i decided to make a team with cool people who wanted to win intermediate. i put together a team with rekuso, deathy, skye and eventually managed to get jarrett who came with scizor to join my team. rather inexplicably, i would go on to continue playing scout after leaving my team with a heavy anti scout sentiment???? anyways--- i was afraid that we weren't going to be able to get any demoman, i really wanted hassassin but he was on the team who would later beat us into a second place finish in playoffs - Pizzagon eSports [*]

s21 - yay! i finally got to invite with my new team! loosing scizor and adding sen gave us a step back, however we were improving a lot in the offseason and changed our name to Running With Scizors in loving memorium of scizor [*]. just like the season before, we were doing very well in scrims and held our heads up high for the upcoming season. the end result of our season would be 6th, we were ok with this result, however i really wanted to beat birdnoises placing 5th

s22 - invite take two - this time we were very dead set on making playoffs, with incredibly promising scrim results combined with roster consistency for the the two seasons prior, i was anticipating nothing below 4th place. we went through a roster change, loosing our flank scout sen and adding sezco to the crew. i was excited because sezco was very willing to adapt to his new role, whereas sen was always a combo scout at heart, occasionally mirroring my positioning, my heals, and most of all, my ubers. we started out the season with a fairly strong performance, however in the end we would loose both our matches to evl and one of our matches to birdnoises, placing us 6th. this would make me very frustrated. in the offseason our team would fold

s23 - now i'm focusing on a healthy amount of sleep every night :)

S16- I get invited to play demoman on a div 6 team in ETF2L. Our team has a full time pyro because it's div 6 and we're doing pretty well, we roll all our games except for the last one where we lose and get second place.

S17- Our div 6 team folds after the first official as we're losing all of our pcws and it doesn't seem to be working.

S18- Some of the players from my div 6 team form a team that basically sandbags div 6. I have exams so I don't play until the last official and we win, finishing first in our bracket in div 6.

S19- I join a div 4 team as demoman. We do pretty well, beating the highest seeded team in the bracket but we then lose to one of the worse teams and end up finishing fourth.

S20- I join a team that manages to make it into high in the new tiers system. Our team is pretty bad and we're plagued by roster issues but we still have a few decent games. We unfortunately lose our last match and finish 14th but are only 6 points from a playoffs qualifier.

S21- I join another high team late into the season due to exams. The team is one that lost prem playoffs so there have already been a lot of roster changes. We roll a lot of the worse teams based on dm but are caught out by smart teams. Later into the season one of our scouts disappears for 2 weeks and we have a lot of roster issues. We end up drawing our last official and finishing 13th, 5 points away from a playoff qualifier.

S22- I join another high team with friends, this time as pocket after doing well on that class in an open group team in i55. We do pretty well but have some tough games against playoff teams throughout the season, finishing 12th, 3 points from a playoff qualifier.

S23- I play on a different high team as demoman again. We play pretty well at the start of the season, but in our last week of play we have several players who are ill and can't scrim until the day before the official. We draw the official and finish 11th, 2 points from a playoff qualifier.

S24- I don't play due to exams.

S25- I play on a fun team with friends as scout, but nobody is having fun and we fold. I get picked up by a team that can contest playoffs on roamer. We do pretty well but the team loses a game against the top team in the division and drawing against 2 teams in playoffs. In our last game today we played another top team and lost to them, finishing 7th, 1 point from making playoffs.

I'm not sure how to stop this from happening.

I like this season breakdown thing.

2010: Ran some PUGs with the pub "clan" I was part of. A few of us (me, Boink & Foster) really enjoyed the change from pubs and decided to move on to lobbies, persuaded by Tragic. I even have a really shitty frag movie from my first lobbies here. :D

TWL S7: Made a team consisting of (off the top of my head): me, Foster, Gypsey Davey, Chicago Bread/Sheep, Taters, Sung, and a few others in various roles, including one crazy Russian girl. I think it was the last season of TWL and we all ended up in one division. This was when Check6 was still THPS.

PUG.NA draft cup: I threw my name on the sign up thread on CommFT and was incredibly surprised when Harbleu picked me as backup. One of this starter scouts had a serious case of the nerves so I was brought in to replace him. What I remember the most from that tournament was being the last one alive and failing to finish a 3k with Harbleu encouraging me in his way. I felt like I let my dad down or something. On the plus side we came in second and won a bunch of TF2 posters.

ESEA S10: After my TWL team died I was picked up by Badfish's team who we used to scrim a lot. I was pretty nervous since it was my first ESEA team, but thankfully we mostly got carried by mshrmpwr.

S12: Picked up by Radium for a team he was making (Wu-Tang Financial). We didn't do too hot but it was fun.

S13: Remained on Wu-Tang Financial and we didn't do too hot again.

S14: Picked up by Hooli. This was my first season in IM and I remember how cool it was to be playing against guys who before then I've only watched play in casted matches. This was my first jump in personal skill after plateauing in open, since IM players played way faster and punished mistakes, forcing me to get better to keep up. Still didn't do too hot tho.

S15: Picked up by Sherman Gluck and Romeo Love for their open team. Team was fun when we were winning. Quickly turned into the most cancerous team I've ever been on when we started losing. This team was the only time I've ever just straight up quit Mumble and TF2 mid-scrim because of how toxic and immature the "comms" became. Played 4 matches before we died or I left the team, not sure which it was.
Either way, after that I got picked up by Lydi and played the rest of the season out on her IM team. We did pretty terrible but it was much more fun and I learned a lot more from being back in IM.

S16: The legendary Steve MRSLIN Lin convinced me to join an open team he was making. I was hesitant at first because I wanted to keep playing IM and I felt like I'd plateau again in Open, but he convinced me he was in it for the long haul and wanted to build a team that he could eventually take into Invite. That season of Open was kind of a joke and we ended up in 2nd place, losing out on first against a team full of invite players.

S17: Got moved up to IM and had some minor roster changes. Somehow Slin managed to convince Jav to play scout for us, and we did fairly well until right before playoffs when motivation to actively review demos tanked and Jav left the team to main Diablo 3 or something, and the team decided to fold. Although I'm still salty about the team dying, Jav joined our team in the first place because we promised we wanted to seriously improve and he didn't see any of that towards the end of the regular season, so I can't really blame him for leaving. Either way, as much as I hated having the team die along with my chances of playing in Invite, those two seasons with Goldman Sachs were still the most fun I've had in TF2. I love you Steve.

Now I just pub occasionally. :(

2007

My little brother bought the orange box and I saw him playing TF2, was really interested so I started playing it myself. I joined a pub community called the outsiders, some of the old mSHIFT guys were playing in our pub (blackstar, nightmare, ravage) and I found out about comp. TF2. I asked my pub buddies if they wanted to try it out, so we started Lockdown. Original roster was myself, murder, twinny, ferret, cascade and akia. We played in TGL, CAL, and CEVO and did decent for a new group of guys playing so thats what really started my drive for comp TF2 (I was 15 at the time)

2008

After playing with just my pub-gone-competitive squad for a while, I actually got noticed by a group of CEVO-P players, which at the time was a massive deal and there were a lot more CEVO-P teams back at that time. I was then picked up by the original Team Dynamic (Also known as 4Ever Gamers at the time) with sequel, crunch, WesleyGibson, Zambino, and DeuceBox. I played with these guys most of the year in CEVO-P, TGL and CAL leagues, we did pretty well, Middle of the pack level Pro team, extremely fun. Later the team started to dissolve after crunch's departure from the game and Zambino leaving to play for another squad.

2009

TF2'S INAGURAL SEASON IN ESEA it was an exciting time for the TF2 community after the CGS Pro-AM was a massive bust, Disbanding the organization after the TF2 tournament had ended. ESEA took on TF2 and everyone was really excited to play and try out the league. The first season was obviously not very big, it featured all the top teams in the game and lower level teams didn't want to pay to get stomped as there was only one division. I went back to playing with my old buddies with the roster of myself, murder, slop, pye, thirtytwo and argon. We were really excited to play against some of the top teams, and as you can imagine, we were stomped in our meeting with the #1 team at the time, Pandemic (Some recognizable names there). I couldn't finish the season out due to travelling for rugby, but my boys finished out the season a respectable 4-4, which at the time, was an amazing accomplishment. Pandemic went on to be the first undefeated team in ESEA history going 8-0 and then 3-0 in post season.

I came back and my team had been picked up by a small sponsor, iconic eSports, and we went into our 2nd season of esea with the same roster. This season ESEA had split the divisions into invite and open, so there was a chance at playoffs. I left the team mid season due to internal issues and joined up with blaze on 404 not found (Myself, Yidd, stress, shakr, blaze, ComeToJesus) and we ended the season just short of playoffs, we tied my previous team for overall record.

Season 4 of ESEA reformed with my old team to make Royal, consisted of myself, murder, thirtytwo, blaze, notor, and bigwill. We were a really solid team this season and we made playoffs for the first time in my career, a really fun season, really fun accomplishment for me and the boys. a good year.

2010

Season 5 was about to start, enoryt and mackey along with a guy named marmell came to me and blaze wanting to form a team (What people will most recognize now as the original eMg/Dont Trip) and we agreed, we brought in my friend jnkx who was an old CEVO-P player for x6 and various other teams. Team was really good, eventually the team didn't like playing with marmell, so I brought in b4nny from slaughterhouse gaming when he was fairly new to the scene (disclaimer: i literally take 0 credit for "discovering" b4nny or the player he has become today, hes a really amazing player and he did that on his own in progression with tyrone and this squad). I ran into more issues with travel and rugby so I left the team and was replaced by move.

I came back later in the season and joined up with Helix, the roster became myself, harbleu, vhalin, platinum, smaka and s/x and we made it all the way to the finals to play an epic game against my former team. amazing game that ended with a blaze scout backcap onto last point and eMg were named champs for season 5.

After that season, I was picked up to play in Invite Season 6 with a team called nexus gaming (Myself, RocketSurgeon/Hong, davis, paladin, sycknesS and punisher) we qualified 4th, taking the final spot for the LAN finals, but due to travel and monetary restrictions some of the members of our team couldn't go to the event, so we withdrew. Blight gaming took our place as the 5th place team and actually WON the whole tournament, was prolly one of the most wild underdog stories of TF2. (that team was blackymonster, oplaid, platinum, chaaz/boogie, smaka and sequel)

The following season I joined the Vicious Gaming Circle Jerk :D the team was originally Myself, Droog, Sherr, smash, daniel and dkay. major roster fluctuations occurred after our first week of ESEA when Droog rage quit the team after losing to the rising THPS. Our most stable roster was myself, sherr, clockwork, daniel, rline, and davis. We made our playoff run with the roster of myself, phelon, rline, clockwork, sherr and davis. We made it to finals again against PYYYOUR's team, another epic close game, but saw phelon (our team) and ruwin (their team) unable to play the match due to Time Warner being a piece of shit, the result was another close but disappointing loss.

I had a short stint with the spacewhales in invite after this (myself, boomer, tictack, ender, ricco and zbryan) but I was cut from the team after 7 games and a bad loss to x6, and this is what led me to my first major break from TF2.

At this point, I was playing rugby for the Canadian national team so I took an extended hiatus with some really small stints as a stand in or temporary replacement for random teams, most notably I replaced MR.SLIN on vector gaming towards the end of their tenure in their first Invite season.

2013

I returned in full to TF2 this year, in Season 15 of TF2. I joined an open team playing soldier with Danerdz, Jman, NoOne (Clandestine), crossfire and Raaaage. It was a really fun team to come back and refresh with, we made playoffs that season but didn't go far, overall was a really fun season and refreshed my interest in TF2.

I didn't find a team I wanted to play for the following season, so I took another small break.

2014

This year was my full fledged come back. I asked javab (an ex invite player and friend of mine) if he wanted to help me make a new open team, bring some old players in together with some newer ones and see what we could accomplish. this was what started as Cake Dough Cheddar but then became what most people might know it as, MAD LUXURIOUS. The original roster was myself, cMw, Fox!, dancenumber, javab and hellbent. Our season went really well, we made a roster change late in the season due to calling issues, moving me to medic and bringing in dingo on demoman. we ended the season 14-2 and ended up winning open that season, which was awesome because I had made multiple finals before but never actually won, funnest season I had ever had in TF2.

From here I lead MAD LUXURIOUS for 5 straight seasons with very little roster changes, some of the players that came through the team include phelon, kuestif, nate rivers, pamphlet, pauldogg, yosh, rigel, ex, blues. We made playoffs playoffs 4 of the 5 seasons (1 season we were forced up to invite due to a lack of teams, even though we were told we wouldn't be moved up unless we picked up certain players)

[b]2007[/b]

My little brother bought the orange box and I saw him playing TF2, was really interested so I started playing it myself. I joined a pub community called the outsiders, some of the old mSHIFT guys were playing in our pub (blackstar, nightmare, ravage) and I found out about comp. TF2. I asked my pub buddies if they wanted to try it out, so we started [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/LockdownTF2]Lockdown[/url]. Original roster was myself, murder, twinny, ferret, cascade and akia. We played in TGL, CAL, and CEVO and did decent for a new group of guys playing so thats what really started my drive for comp TF2 (I was 15 at the time)

[b]2008[/b]

After playing with just my pub-gone-competitive squad for a while, I actually got noticed by a group of CEVO-P players, which at the time was a massive deal and there were a lot more CEVO-P teams back at that time. I was then picked up by the original Team Dynamic (Also known as 4Ever Gamers at the time) with sequel, crunch, WesleyGibson, Zambino, and DeuceBox. I played with these guys most of the year in CEVO-P, TGL and CAL leagues, we did pretty well, Middle of the pack level Pro team, extremely fun. Later the team started to dissolve after crunch's departure from the game and Zambino leaving to play for another squad.

[b]2009[/b]

[b][u]TF2'S INAGURAL SEASON IN ESEA[/u][/b] it was an exciting time for the TF2 community after the CGS Pro-AM was a massive bust, Disbanding the organization after the TF2 tournament had ended. ESEA took on TF2 and everyone was really excited to play and try out the league. The first season was obviously not very big, it featured all the top teams in the game and lower level teams didn't want to pay to get stomped as there was only [i][url=https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=league&d=standings&division_id=1263]one division[/url][/i]. I went back to playing with my old buddies with the roster of myself, murder, slop, pye, thirtytwo and argon. We were really excited to play against some of the top teams, and as you can imagine, we were stomped in our meeting with the #1 team at the time, [url=https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=1134165]Pandemic[/url] (Some recognizable names there). I couldn't finish the season out due to travelling for rugby, but my boys finished out the season a respectable 4-4, which at the time, was an amazing accomplishment. Pandemic went on to be the first undefeated team in ESEA history going 8-0 and then 3-0 in post season.

I came back and my team had been picked up by a small sponsor, iconic eSports, and we went into our 2nd season of esea with the same roster. This season ESEA had split the divisions into invite and open, so there was a chance at playoffs. I left the team mid season due to internal issues and joined up with blaze on 404 not found (Myself, Yidd, stress, shakr, blaze, ComeToJesus) and we ended the season just short of playoffs, we tied my previous team for overall record.

Season 4 of ESEA reformed with my old team to make Royal, consisted of myself, murder, thirtytwo, blaze, notor, and bigwill. We were a really solid team this season and we made playoffs for the first time in my career, a really fun season, really fun accomplishment for me and the boys. a good year.

[b]2010[/b]

Season 5 was about to start, enoryt and mackey along with a guy named marmell came to me and blaze wanting to form a team (What people will most recognize now as the original eMg/Dont Trip) and we agreed, we brought in my friend jnkx who was an old CEVO-P player for x6 and various other teams. Team was really good, eventually the team didn't like playing with marmell, so I brought in b4nny from slaughterhouse gaming when he was fairly new to the scene (disclaimer: i literally take 0 credit for "discovering" b4nny or the player he has become today, hes a really amazing player and he did that on his own in progression with tyrone and this squad). I ran into more issues with travel and rugby so I left the team and was replaced by move.

I came back later in the season and joined up with Helix, the roster became myself, harbleu, vhalin, platinum, smaka and s/x and we made it all the way to the finals to play an epic game against my [url=https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=1622059]former team[/url]. amazing game that ended with a blaze scout backcap onto last point and eMg were named champs for season 5.

After that season, I was picked up to play in Invite Season 6 with a team called nexus gaming (Myself, RocketSurgeon/Hong, davis, paladin, sycknesS and punisher) we qualified 4th, taking the final spot for the LAN finals, but due to travel and monetary restrictions some of the members of our team couldn't go to the event, so we withdrew. Blight gaming took our place as the 5th place team and actually [url=https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=league&d=bracket&id=3384]WON[/url] the whole tournament, was prolly one of the most wild underdog stories of TF2. (that team was blackymonster, oplaid, platinum, chaaz/boogie, smaka and sequel)

The following season I joined the Vicious Gaming Circle Jerk :D the team was originally Myself, Droog, Sherr, smash, daniel and dkay. major roster fluctuations occurred after our first week of ESEA when Droog rage quit the team after losing to the rising THPS. Our most stable roster was myself, sherr, clockwork, daniel, rline, and davis. We made our playoff run with the roster of myself, phelon, rline, clockwork, sherr and davis. We made it to finals again against PYYYOUR's team, another epic close game, but saw phelon (our team) and ruwin (their team) unable to play the match due to Time Warner being a piece of shit, the result was another close [url=https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=1961295]but disappointing loss[/url].

I had a short stint with the spacewhales in invite after this (myself, boomer, tictack, ender, ricco and zbryan) but I was cut from the team after 7 games and a bad loss to x6, and this is what led me to my first major break from TF2.

[i]At this point, I was playing rugby for the Canadian national team so I took an extended hiatus with some really small stints as a stand in or temporary replacement for random teams, most notably I replaced MR.SLIN on vector gaming towards the end of their tenure in their first Invite season.[/i]

[b]2013[/b]

I returned in full to TF2 this year, in Season 15 of TF2. I joined an open team playing soldier with Danerdz, Jman, NoOne (Clandestine), crossfire and Raaaage. It was a really fun team to come back and refresh with, we made playoffs that season but didn't go far, overall was a really fun season and refreshed my interest in TF2.

I didn't find a team I wanted to play for the following season, so I took another small break.

[b]2014[/b]

This year was my full fledged come back. I asked javab (an ex invite player and friend of mine) if he wanted to help me make a new open team, bring some old players in together with some newer ones and see what we could accomplish. this was what started as Cake Dough Cheddar but then became what most people might know it as, MAD LUXURIOUS. The original roster was myself, cMw, Fox!, dancenumber, javab and hellbent. Our season went really well, we made a roster change late in the season due to calling issues, moving me to medic and bringing in dingo on demoman. we ended the season 14-2 and ended up winning open that season, which was awesome because I had made multiple finals before but never actually won, funnest season I had ever had in TF2.

From here I lead MAD LUXURIOUS for 5 straight seasons with very little roster changes, some of the players that came through the team include phelon, kuestif, nate rivers, pamphlet, pauldogg, yosh, rigel, ex, blues. We made playoffs playoffs 4 of the 5 seasons (1 season we were forced up to invite due to a lack of teams, even though we were told we wouldn't be moved up unless we picked up certain players)

Invite with that team was still really fun though, It was good to give some of the newer guys their first taste of invite even though we went 0-16. We managed to still have some really close and good games with good teams and never strayed from our identity as a team and I will always respect my teammates on MLX for that.

Also random fact, I got to play in the last "ESEA All Star" Game, where they took invite players from each conference and played an all star match, it was a flop the last couple seasons so they discontinued it https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=1731360

And now we here

2012

i had knowledge of competitive tf2 and i watched many frag movies and casts on 6v6 games that were mostly in extv. i ended up installing tf2 after i upgraded my pc (i came from quake1/quake3cpma and doom). extv advertised tf2lobby as a good starting point so as soon as i installed tf2 i went straight to tf2lobby with only about 150 hours played (mostly on scout).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOxevTO52c here's my first tf2 frag vid with one single lobby as scout. my intentions starting this game was to look for a highlander team and demoman was easily my most comfortable class to play for that game mode, i noticed that some of the highest level tf2 players like b4nny, enigma, and harbleu played highlander. so my goal was to move my way up on highlander since there was such a huge skill gap between the divisions that i felt like i could easily make my way and somewhat impress one of those invite gods to recognize me and pick me up. (didn't work out that way) I still ended up playing 6s on demo in the UGC league as well on steel after meeting cheifsittingduck in tf2lobby looking for players for his team that he was making with his son spirit_reap3r. we played ugc steel the roster for old skewl ballahs was cheifsittingduck, cadsmar, invizible, spirit_reap3r, myself, and mypocketblows. we actually had bullet as well on scout before cadsmar joined the roster iirc. and he trigger botted (lol that was a disaster) we soon figured out how obvious it was and then we cut him. mypocketblows was irl friends with him i think and after that season he left us but then we continued on in esea open that next season. with roster changes and everything our open roster was cheifsittingduck, spirit_reap3r, invizible, myself, psyche, and freakin. we finished the season 10-6 going 15th out of 16 in playoffs (yay) and picking up ikpure just before playoffs which practically helped us getting to playoffs in the first place since psyche was a horrendous medic back then. but after all that i stopped playing in esea and i continued my way to making it to the top of highlander to hopefully continue my main plan of making platinum and then getting picked up for an invite team for 6s (lol im an idiot)

2013

so its 2013 i spend 6 months playing highlander irc pugs and playing with my 6s friends (6cuties/server depopulation squad) which made a highlander team as a joke called 9cuties that i played in platinum as my first season which blew my mind i was really thinking i could make it to invite now that i INSTANTLY have a platinum highlander record under my belt after only having like 600-700 hours into the game. we got rolled that season but i still baited a bunch of highlander players for having a platinum badge on my profile so when i played irc pugs for highlander i would get picked like 80%-90% of the time which boosted my ego highly. so then pulse picks me up for his highlander super team which had a lot of like OG highlander gods from around 2009-2010 and this was looking good. but pulse elected that we were not going to be a scrim team and just show up for matches, needless to say we got stomped super hard and died mid-season. but boy did i have a big boner when i was owning invite players in highlander tryout scrim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwJrVd7Py_s (owning indust and dummy)
after all that i played platinum one more time on another somewhat super team which was uBs and that did okay but many many maaany roster changes and shit so that kinda got fucked over. after that season but also during that season i make my return to 6s when cevo came back and i joined gls' new team he was making with slardel (no pawblem) this roster was rlinez, hero, blew, slardel, gls, trisk, robin, kent, and myself.
we finished 7th in the open division and had a 12-4 record i had a great time playing on that team https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j46YRE_Ss3g but i surely noticed that i had more fun playing highlander than 6s...

2014 - 2015

blah blah blah i play highlander again but this time i join IFA for their silver team carry the fuck outta them and had one of the greatest times of my life cuz i finally achieved something, then i play with them the next with even equally to almost even COOLER CHILLER PEOPLE and we make it to 3rd then i just stop playing tf2 all together give up for my invite debut after lan got removed from esea and cevo leaving so i was like "damn this game is super fun but its dead now." all between those highlander seasons i play on some matches that i backed up for in IM for AG w/ insom and shit and then i abandon the game after i find nosgoth then later dirty bomb. play the shit outta those games get in a couple teams play in some matches blah blah blah. i then play on a team that techdude makes called clam bake i played nearly every single class on that team as like 80% starter and landed a baller airshot without even moving my mouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tRV3oWYxpw at that time windows 10 was coming out for free so i decided to upgrade to windows 10 like 2 or 3 days before grand finals... i started the session right before i left for work and then i were to finish the update when i came back that night. well when i did come back windows 10 updated incorrectly and i couldn't get past my login screen thus i had to reformat my entire pc and had a lot of issues connecting to the internet with my pc thus being late for finals and not making it so then they put eulogy in for me and the matches got ddos'd to fuck and i was glad i didnt play anyway.

2016 - current

so then i return to tf2 one more time playing pocket on a 6s team with an old highlander friend called decent dudes

that roster had wish, crossfire, super, yipyapper, myself, and rhy. this team was pretty awesome and was decent (heh) and had loads of memes. we finished that season 6th after getting sadly embarrassed to woodpig black in open on our 2nd match on viaduct where i streamed it and went super emo-like and blammed my team and sorta stopped trying played like a fuckin moron. after that i left tf2 again mainly because my work schedule was getting a lot worse and now i just work all the fuckin time and i just play video games casually. i soloq overwatch sometimes i play tf2 pugs and embarrass myself there because frankly i dont know how to play anything but demo or soldier anymore for some reason and now i just pub battlefield with my dirty bomb friends or ill occasionally duel in quake3 cpm and reflex. basically im all over the place but hey video games are fun and i have no problem about it

TL;DR
i came from quake i watched tf2 prior to playing it, i upgraded my pc installed the game played tf2 lobby found out invite players played highlander so i tried to get to platinum as soon as i could while also playing 6s in open.

made it to platinum never went far, didnt get picked up for invite

made my return to 6s with a quake super team with gls slardel kent rlinez hero trisk blew robin
then i found out even tho i had a blast... that i found highlander more enjoyable and my cup of tea so i joined a silver team got 1st place, tried to get first place in gold the next season and then 1st in platnum after that. but i ended up making 3rd in gold the next season and i quit tf2 for other games like nosgoth, natural selection and dirty bomb. made my return in 2016 with the team decent dudes and went emo on the playoffs and threw against woodpig black now i suck at tf2 and play video games casually cuz i suck

if u want u can add me if you wanna duel in cpm, reflex or mge no splash/ammomod im down.

LATE 2012 (on laptop)
Ok so my irl friends told me to get this game, so I immediately pubbed on trade servers and acheivement idle servers as a spy main who jacked off to stabbystabby and OMFGNinja, however me and my irl friends played jump maps alot to

2013

around 1500 hours in I start playing alot of lobbies, my very first lobby on granary as scout, I bee lined enemy teams medic and realized that I like killing people and not trading or achievement servers, then the competitive conquest started, I met some cool dudes by the name of Vinsu, Gold, bunny, and footp, and we together we ruled tf2lobby / tf2center, I also joined my very first highlander team with Vinsu, and played alot of Highlander for the remainder of the year

UGC HL S10 - Steel, my first season of ugc as demo with friends
UGC HL S11 - Silver, 2nd season of ugc as demo with friends

2014 (laptop gets fried,switched to intel pentium 4 afghani car battery computer)

UGC HL S12 - Gold as demo literally got approached by jk! mason and met nursey, we wouldve done worst than 4th but our sniper was hacking and only I knew about it LOL
UGC HL S13 - didnt want to play HL anymore because 6s looked much more difficult and I wanted a challenge

ESEA-O S16 / CEVO S4 - my first time ever playing open, got picked up by Original Gangster Kush alongside bunny, lauren was the team captain and I met her through tf2mix, she wanted to try me out, got on the team, me and bunny got cut 4 matches in because our soldiers were a heavy main and ammomod bot respectively yet no one wanted to try and improve

ESEA-O S17 - decided to take a season off, became an extreme tf2mix / pug.na demo and was only MGEing, watching demos, and pugging

2015 (built my very own computer)

ESEA-O S18 - Was about to play on an IM team but I wanted to backtrack and go back to open to relearn things, plus I got onto a team with bunny, kraka, blew, fearless, and blackymonster, however demo got nerfed and I was doing 170 dpm constantly and I got cut around 6-8 matches in because our soldiers decided to focus too much on me rather than themselves and the retards got 4th place in open

ESEA-IM S19- decided its time to stop fucking around and seriously start improving, I just wanted to get more than 15% heals so I made a team with bunny, dflame, xattuu, glider and blackdott, had alot of fun, alot of stress but we barely made playoffs and I just started to understand the flow of the game, we landed at last place playoffs at 8th place, great experience, taught me that you have to lose in order to win

ESEA-IM S20 - my team in S19 had disbanded, so I decided to go LFT and got picked up by tankman and ictus (dynamic duo) and the three of us tried to experiment, and we ultimately ended up fusing with 3 of the deceased pizzagon esports (puke), we started off as raytek-sen scouts, tankman botmode soldiers, and ictus medic (who bought me 144hz), our scrim results were godlike, we took maps off of harbleus S20 invite team, and although our roster would switch up almost every week, for playoffs we decided to massively upgrade, with highfive (former IM champ) and sen scout, botmode roamer, we got zilly on pocket, ictus med, and me to top it off, this is back when booties were godlike so everyone in the division was cultivated, we ended up winning the division extremely narrowly (like overtime to overtime with score 3-3) to pizzagon esports, probably the best IM grand finals in a while (check it out on EVL tvs utube)

2016

ESEA-I S21 - Avast had quit the luca goers (who had lost 3 players) and still being really good friends with nursey they picked me as demo and we got sponsored by EVL Gaming, we were: slemnish arekk scouts, aim/botmode soldiers, nursey med, and me demo. it was my very first season of invite and had very mixed results, we seeded regular season at 3rd place but duwatna (literally only duwatna) put a stop to that and we got 4th place, i was satisfied with the results I got for the first season of invite, however I wanted to improve even further

ESEA-I S22 - my team died unfortunately, we tried very hard to keep it alive, but couldn't, I was about to play invite scout until Shade (who was creating froyo black) told me duwatna couldn't play so he told me to essentially join them and I remember being the happiest fuckboi alive that night, we had lost clockwork and so I picked up my old teammate slemnish who was without a doubt the closest thing to cw. we were: shade medic, slemnish cyzer scouts, tagg blank soldiers (my nigga and ex slamberg teammate). on this team I dont think I ever played that well in any season of my career but unfortunately for playoffs in our second round I was in ATL and slemnish was also on vaca, so they had to use sigh and corsa to play against RONIN (sorry shade), we placed 3rd in invite

ESEA-I S23 - once again my team died, FROYO BLACK being no more, I was going to play for the reformed Luca Goers however on one mysterious night shade told me of a dead post-i58 froyo roster and he told me I was the last piece needed to complete the puzzle on demo, I contemplated my options for hours and I thought selfishly for once and joined froyotech as demoman. we went 15-1 in playoffs and lost to slamberg in grand finals, placing us second in the division overall, with EVL Gaming below us at 3rd

Most importantly : S21-S23: somewhere around this time period my mind became infected, I started to develop a badish ego and became extremely self aware of my actions, however could not control since i was only 17-18 (and pregnant). after S22 I started tilting like a motherfucker, and up until 2 weeks ago and I realized its not worth to get mad in video game (especially this video game), I apologize to all affected by my uranium outburst

[b] LATE 2012[/b] (on laptop)
Ok so my irl friends told me to get this game, so I immediately pubbed on trade servers and acheivement idle servers as a spy main who jacked off to stabbystabby and OMFGNinja, however me and my irl friends played jump maps alot to

[b] 2013[/b]

around 1500 hours in I start playing alot of lobbies, my very first lobby on granary as scout, I bee lined enemy teams medic and realized that I like killing people and not trading or achievement servers, then the competitive conquest started, I met some cool dudes by the name of Vinsu, Gold, bunny, and footp, and we together we ruled tf2lobby / tf2center, I also joined my very first highlander team with Vinsu, and played alot of Highlander for the remainder of the year

UGC HL S10 - Steel, my first season of ugc as demo with friends
UGC HL S11 - Silver, 2nd season of ugc as demo with friends

[b] 2014 (laptop gets fried,switched to intel pentium 4 afghani car battery computer) [/b]

UGC HL S12 - Gold as demo literally got approached by jk! mason and met nursey, we wouldve done worst than 4th but our sniper was hacking and only I knew about it LOL
UGC HL S13 - didnt want to play HL anymore because 6s looked much more difficult and I wanted a challenge

ESEA-O S16 / CEVO S4 - my first time ever playing open, got picked up by Original Gangster Kush alongside bunny, lauren was the team captain and I met her through tf2mix, she wanted to try me out, got on the team, me and bunny got cut 4 matches in because our soldiers were a heavy main and ammomod bot respectively yet no one wanted to try and improve

ESEA-O S17 - decided to take a season off, became an extreme tf2mix / pug.na demo and was only MGEing, watching demos, and pugging

[b] 2015 (built my very own computer) [/b]

ESEA-O S18 - Was about to play on an IM team but I wanted to backtrack and go back to open to relearn things, plus I got onto a team with bunny, kraka, blew, fearless, and blackymonster, however demo got nerfed and I was doing 170 dpm constantly and I got cut around 6-8 matches in because our soldiers decided to focus too much on me rather than themselves and the retards got 4th place in open

ESEA-IM S19- decided its time to stop fucking around and seriously start improving, I just wanted to get more than 15% heals so I made a team with bunny, dflame, xattuu, glider and blackdott, had alot of fun, alot of stress but we barely made playoffs and I just started to understand the flow of the game, we landed at last place playoffs at 8th place, great experience, taught me that you have to lose in order to win

ESEA-IM S20 - my team in S19 had disbanded, so I decided to go LFT and got picked up by tankman and ictus (dynamic duo) and the three of us tried to experiment, and we ultimately ended up fusing with 3 of the deceased pizzagon esports (puke), we started off as raytek-sen scouts, tankman botmode soldiers, and ictus medic (who bought me 144hz), our scrim results were godlike, we took maps off of harbleus S20 invite team, and although our roster would switch up almost every week, for playoffs we decided to massively upgrade, with highfive (former IM champ) and sen scout, botmode roamer, we got zilly on pocket, ictus med, and me to top it off, this is back when booties were godlike so everyone in the division was cultivated, we ended up winning the division extremely narrowly (like overtime to overtime with score 3-3) to pizzagon esports, probably the best IM grand finals in a while (check it out on EVL tvs utube)

ESEA-I S21 - Avast had quit the luca goers (who had lost 3 players) and still being really good friends with nursey they picked me as demo and we got sponsored by EVL Gaming, we were: slemnish arekk scouts, aim/botmode soldiers, nursey med, and me demo. it was my very first season of invite and had very mixed results, we seeded regular season at 3rd place but duwatna (literally only duwatna) put a stop to that and we got 4th place, i was satisfied with the results I got for the first season of invite, however I wanted to improve even further

messiah i played on it AGAIN under the alias samvnwl

It always got me confused if you were him or if it was two different people as there is also a tftv account named "samvnwl" that even posted on the great tftv challenge thread

warning, almost completely highlander only story here

During the late portion of 2013 and the first half of 2014, I was a casual TF2 player - traded a lot, frequented a server chain called PPM for trading. Occasionally, the admins of that server would have a pub session, and I really had fun during those pubs - it was during a time where I wasn't very good but I was getting the basics of spy down. Coincidentally, slemnish pubbed there as well and he always seemed like the player that you want on your team. After a few weeks of pubbing with these guys, I noticed that a few of the friends I had made on that server chain had a steel highlander team - ProPain. I had very little confidence in being able to play at what I perceived at the time was a good level of playing and I had no idea how competitive TF2 works, but I was interested.

Fast forward a season or two, and I decided I wanted to give competitive a shot. I didn't want to start in Iron, because I had heard that iron is for players that are super new to the game and don't know the basics of their class very well. I had a decent grasp that the heavy demo and pyro stays with the medic, and what pick classes should be going for the most etc. So I put up and LFT thread in steel, and got added by maxie - sculpt at the time. I tried out for his team on snakewater (jesus christ this was cancer now that I look back) and I had a lot of fun. I got picked up because the other spy tryout was somehow even worse than I was. Anyway, we did really well in the first bit of the season. I got cut around week 9 for our sub spy because my team realized how bad I was

The next three seasons I didn't take seriously at all. I played on various different teams in s14 and eventually ended up playing steel soldier for malicious citrus. I didn't really have fun and decided soldier wasn't the class for me. In s15 I subbed for a silver team that went 4-5 because their main spy missed a good amount of scrims, so I got play time here and there. In season 16 I was starting to get better for sure, and I subbed for another silver team, although a bit better. I was getting better more and more as the season went on, and in season 17 I finally mained for another team. This was during the summer season of 2015, and I met a few players that did end up exceeding me in the future. Off of the top of my head, rush comes to mind, as he won the gold bracket in s19. We didn't do that well in s17 and ended up all going our separate ways after our 5-3 finish - which wasn't that bad considering we had to play a team that would go on to be top 4 in gold the next season.

In season 18 I tried out for a team of a bunch of good players that I hadn't heard of until then, most of which I'm still friends with today. I got picked up on the team that I ended up leading the next 2 seasons because of the original leader quitting TF2 and nobody else wanting to lead. The first season, we only finished 2-2 despite very strong scrim results against other top teams - unfortunately one of them refused to scrim us because of personal beef. The team died the first season because of players that definitely are not the most calm people under pressure, and after we lost to dragon tales - a team we usually beat in scrims - and then papa jogn's no knock pizza delivery -a team we usually dismantled in scrims - there was no motivation. Some of the more experienced players on the team left to sub for teams in higher divisions, and I got an offer from dragon tales to sub for them, which I took. They ended up just missing out on placement by 1 round of viaduct.

Season 19 was my breakout season. I decided I didn't want to go LFT again, and I made my own team - a continuation of the one that died in s18. Our original roster definitely wasn't a strong as it was near the end of the season, and in the beginning of the season I had no belief that we would have the roster we did. I ended up being able to secure a bunch of established players, and they carried me to a 3rd place gold bracket victory (thanks mirrorman).

Season 20, I was going to try to continue the team I lead, but it ended up flopping when almost none of the players that I originally had wanted to stay, and many of them ended up joining pretty good teams. I rang for a few gold teams in the preseason of s20, and did really well against a few particular platinum teams - a huge boost to my confidence. I tried out for a team that was probably going to be low gold, and I knew that I wouldn't be happy with their final record, but I decided to at least give it a shot to show people that I'm not _that_ bad. The team died in preseason unfortunately, and I managed to get myself a backup spot on a team that was thought to be low-mid plat and ended up making the top 4 of platinum. I got to play a few scrims and did alright, and I even got to play the millstone match against dK and held my own despite us losing without taking a round. This pretty much sums up everything, as I'm still on that team a few days before playoffs start, not knowing what I'm going to do next season.
