that roll just ruined LAN tbh, its unacceptable for those teams to be considered equal in skill yet such a roll happens.

One of the huge things about lan is that its the proving ground of tf2; it doesn't matter if they were considered evenly skilled online (they only played with banny on 180 ping?).

You say this but every team in the invite group has proceeded to beat all the open teams here and knocked them out, so...

WAR's casting is really good. I'm so used to the dry style where WAR puts more priority on his jokes & humour, and as a result tends to be considered or cast as one of the weaker, less enthusiastic casters. This style worked out in his favour for i58's analyst desk, but I'm still reminded of times where he says he doesn't take TF2 seriously, compared to other casters or production people. I don't believe that for a goddamn second. I think you care just as much, if not more than most of us, about TF2. The buildup to i61 as well as right now seem to make me think that even more.

I don't know if it's just because it's live at LAN. I don't know if his original co-caster dodging has something to do with that. I don't know if I just need to tune in to more WARHURYEAH casts brought to you by WARHURYEAH.gg. But from the moment he started casting during the Group Stages, I was shook. I can hear when his voice strains out and when his energy gets depleted if he overdoes it but holy fuck. I've been tuning into OW Contenders which has Bren and ZP casting for background noise while I work, then I tuned into Se7en vs SVIFT Map 1 after 123 won. Then I had a moment where I'm like "wait that's right this hype caster this time is WAR". I can really feel his passion for i61, and for TF2. The only issue I'm noticing most is that he is cutting off Kermit a fair bit to catch the play-by-play.

Except it's not.

The speed at which you get to mid is largely irrelevant in deciding the course of mid. There's spamming and then there's spamming effectively, the latter of which can be strenuous in midfights. Little versatility throughout the whole map. Hardly a "pretttttty good demo map".

rofl what

have u ever watched top NA matches on process? habib single handedly controls the pace of the start of the mid. as for the rest of the map, with good spotting from your teammates, you can control any chokepoint on process by yourself as demo

yeah none of what u said makes any sense

rollouts matter
healthpacks and crossbows exist
and the overall vision u have on process is what makes him good, not whatever autistic concept of "versatility" u think matters
