when we picked up raph last season, he wanted to flank but we basically forced him on combo and said "learn to maincall," and he's pretty much the only flank scout I've ever played that succeeded at that kind of transition within the span of one season.

puts in more work than most (and was not toxic at all)

hi fellas, me and the boys are gonna be sneaking into invite playoffs this season but WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DO IT!

Scout: ?
Scout: golden (unless he baits me)
Pocket: Me :)
Roamer: Pauldogg
Demo: Vaati
Medic: ?

Looking mostly for a pocket scout that can maincall and a medic who can tell when that maincall is bad.

PREREQUISITES:
Comms
Mechies

Unironically this is gonna be a serious team with demo and map reviews and the like. We can get some folks up to speed on tactics before the season starts, but the comms and mechies you bring at the start is what we're gonna expect for the whole season, so they need to be good.

Contact me @https://steamcommunity.com/id/newmemes/ to ask for a tryout or to let me know that you have your own better invite team that you want added to the invite spreadsheet. ty :)

I have some time on my hands rn so I'm looking for some demos to review

I'll do any class, any div, as long as its an official match/scrim

I'll review the demos in a couple days when I have a couple, idk when specifically so include ur discord in ur post and I'll ping you when I go live. or you could just watch the vod.

Will be reviewing at https://www.twitch.tv/walrex. :))

boomers when new map doesn't get played: why are we trying to force new maps? remove it.

boomers when badlands doesn't get played: we need to force diversity.

Just my 2 cents about calling and listening to calls since that seems like where you guys had a lot of conflict:

One is that, in scrims, you should ALWAYS follow your maincaller, no matter how you think the play will turn out. If you follow the call, you can determine pretty cleanly whether the call was good or bad depending on the outcome of the play.

The moment you decide to countercall, it becomes practically impossible to determine if the maincall or the countercall was responsible for the outcome of the play. The maincaller will just blame the countercaller for not following the call, and the countercaller will just say the maincall was bad.

You should really only countercall in matches where you are almost entirely certain the maincall will go badly, and its common courtesy that if things go poorly after the countercall is made that the countercaller takes the blame.

On that note, I'll also add that a good attitude to hold is that a bad maincall or countercall does not make a bad caller. Calls come from information and you can almost always attribute a bad call to a lack of information in the eyes of the caller. It's good form to be able to recognize what information your caller accidentally ignored when they make a bad call and let them know what they did not account for (super common is your maincaller calling a collapse when people are out of position/out of ammo/hurt).

Never let ego or something ridiculous like "I have more experience" influence your opinion about a call; just follow it and evaluate it based on the results. This has been your TFTV certified counseling advice on not being an idiot teammate, hope you all find team environments that work for you :)

would love to hear from an actually good medic that uses the clock to count ubers, because I honestly can't imagine it. 0%-30%-70%-100% increments are almost always sufficient info to make good calls off of, and if you think you are off by ~10%, you can always just uber check.
