homie i hate to break it to ya but i dont think they'll allow you to forfeit a playoff match. talk to kalkin or killing about trying to play it this weekend possibly. or someone is going to have to man up and use some backups...

great read guys, definitely kept me entertained all day at work :D

synchro, you seem like a pretty level headed dude. it sucks that this happened and that the circumstances seem so incriminating. the reputations of the players on your team lead a lot of people to believe they are capable of being gigantic shitlords, and that sucks for you. if you guys do take this roster further into IM, i would hope that something would change instead of this happening every time you win a game.

best of luck to you guys, i really hope your teammates figure their shit out and do the right thing.

randy had it in the bag that last round until they had to play 5v6. should have just let them pause, no reason not to except to be rude. just sayin

yeah, it was close all the way till the end. nice job guys!

wait was it zalfy sniping?!'

god i'm dumb

THAT WAS SOME NICE SNIPIN THERE JOHN.

trans-autistic railroad, you have failed me for the LAST TIME

dunno if he did one today because it was at EIGHT OCLOCK IN THE MORNING gaaaah why so early bl4nk!?

so far conductor is 2 for 2 on his predz

i think it more has to do with a team running these things when theyve had time to set up. attacking those classes even with an uber advantage can be tough if you don't know what you're walking into. last season gank and the meisters did this same thing and were able to beat a team i think they would have had a hard time beating on a 5cp map.

the reason that OSB (the team gank was playing) lost was mostly because they didnt know what to do. instead of adapting, they ended up just losing because they didnt have anything that could really counter those tactics. i'm not saying that a team with good teamwork or communication wouldnt be able to overcome those obstacles, i'm just saying it has worked in open before.

all of the things you mentioned in regards to the flank and heal spread is pretty spot on, too. in fact, i would think that most teams at this level wouldnt even realize those weaknesses and try to exploit them, hence feeding the misconception that running heavy/pyro/sniper/spy or whatever on viaduct is hard to counter.

i'm kind of wondering which one of these teams are going to be the assholes of the post-season and run a fulltime heavy and pyro or something for viaduct.

you are excused.

surely you mean Noko Ono...

there used to be a collection of articles that talked about the basics of 6s and roles for each class but a lot of them have been deleted. everytime i see these threads i just remember all of the information that i devoured before getting into 6s and how its so hard to find this info now. i think there might be a few things on ozfortress and vanilla tv, and while there a few nice threads and things on this site, none of this stuff is in one place.

for now maybe just check out the old mge videos on adamskyride's youtube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD098F81F2CA74F00

some of this stuff is a little outdated but the key concepts remain the same. GL dude, just try to have fun and dont get too discouraged by whatever experiences you have in tf2 lobby. because lobbies are garbage and they dont even come close to teaching you anything about this format, no matter what anyone says.
