I should probably clarify that I mean 6s specifically here, DB is still too strong in HL IMO because of the abundance of buildings to sap and overall chaos.

Sapping a gun in 6s has very low value honestly, you are both revealing that you are on spy and not actually killing anything. Best case scenario with that is you sap a gun to help your team get in on a last push, but in that case wouldn't you be better off on soldier or scout anyways? Is the ability to do 102 damage once going to make more than a small difference in the resulting teamfight?

If a spy stabs a scout/soldier in a 6s stalemate and gets away that's honestly a failure of the defending team to punish the spy play. Even if that happens, what then? The attackers take a 6v5 teamfight with a spy that can do 102 once and then be next to useless the rest of the fight?

On a different note, my unpopular opinion for the day is that diamondback is fine to unban.

"BUT HE CAN TWO SHOT MY MEDIC!"

Okay, the spy needs a kill or a sap to get the crit though. If your team is not on red alert and melting the spy after the first stab, the diamondback is not the issue here.

Will it make spies a little more effective? Probably, yeah. But when spies are effective they break stalemates. You're telling me a 5 minute sniper duel is better gameplay than that? Personally I wouldn't mind buffing spy a bit.

Anyone know the command for changing round timer? Some of us want to try the 5 min round timer out in scrims so we can have an actual opinion on it

One of the smartest players I've played with, this dude can analyze plays at an atomic level I STG

you had great frags and high production quality, thoroughly enjoyed it!

If you want to keep learning and making more videos, my personal recommendation would be to experiment with different Field of View settings for your smooths/cines and with figuring out how to make transitions between clips feel more smooth and natural

could have been better camerawork from me tbh, I'm not sure the viewers understood in the moment that your screen had to be 100% wall to make that spot work

just like last season, Main playoffs are gonna get messy

sincerely looking forward to this, I hear the DerpGaming team are also organizing some coverage for the other quarterfinals :)

Hi there, I'm making a fragmovie of the best plays in Main this season (S5). I've been organizing it mainly through a community discord server but thought I'd crosspost here as well since I know a significant number of players aren't in that server or don't frequent it.

the tl;dr for submission:
-I'm looking for your absolute best plays of the season - in matches or scrims!
-Please rename your demo in the format alias_briefdescription (e.g. habib_blinddet4k)
-Give me the tick number for each play you send
-I heavily prefer POV demos if it's a hitscan clip
-Post a download link here to submit (via google drive, dropbox, meganz, etc.)

More detailed guidelines here if you need clarification on anything:

Lastly, if you think I don't mean BUSINESS when I edit, here's a sample of my work: https://youtu.be/FkVNtkHpp3M

Extremely stable and consistent presence in your voice comms and on the beam. Would recommend

I have now played almost an entire season with Soala and I've yet to see him tilt. He struggled a little early in the season with dying at bad times but was able to take that feedback and mature into an even better player. I can't speak to his medic play personally but at the risk of repeating myself, he's grown a lot this season and is a great pickup for your Main team if you're looking for a soldier.

Not something that'd be useful for me personally but as DanceNumber said, if this is successful and then they add a comp 6s and HL queue it could be a great pipeline to get people into comp

fuck yeah

damn I can't remember the last time I saw a medic get a 4k in a situation where it mattered, good stuff

catching up on the VoD now, this is unironically incredible content
