Probably lack of publicized lans. No idea who those people are so I can't comment, I'd assume if they are the best they are middle of the invite pack.
Absolutely not.

#166 actually I've heard of you now and from what I understand you time your aggression really well but just need to take some more time on your shots. GJ

#156 when i hit something with a rocket, or if I miss an upward rocket on a scout above me.

#157 it helps a lot when you're trying to recognize what you're doing wrong.

#158 not unless there was a pocket exponentially better than me. You have much less impact over the general flow of the team / game as a roamer than a pocket. Not saying I couldn't, but that would be a waste imo.

#159 be creative, make sure you don't whiff on really easy shots, no idea.

#162 i love ultiduo. Matches only last a long time because it's been acceptable to show up whenever the fuck you want and expect the other team to just wait. We need to take a lesson from europe and get in the god damn server when you ask for a scrim // have a match. It's time to be in the server and ready at the scheduled time, not leaving your scrim 10 minutes after to join the client.

#163 eric - birds - wheeler.

#152 Mixup/LG S10 lan finals featured the two highest level teams I've seen/been a part of. This roster is really strong as well, Check6 S8 deserves the nod simply for going undefeated and winning LAN.
Good demo does damage, good scout finishes the demos damage with frags, good medic prevents damage and puts heals on whoever is being targeted

#147 post.

#148 powah, rr, kermit, hero will impress. Don't know/care who will be a let down.
Because it takes a really high intelligence level in order to be the best. You can't just be a retard who can put a crosshair on a model in todays game. When people start getting smarter (not likely) or new smart people start playing, it might change.
Epsilon will be the final boss of europe.
When tyler wastes his last rocket on some ridiculous shot, makes me cringe.
Not until they invite players play together, if I'm gonna play highlander it's gonna be with friends.
Boxers.

#149 your scouts and roamer are really strong. If you and blacky can figure your shit out and unf picks it up you guys will be a solid team all around and have the gaming ability to beat all the other teams. If you want to beat us or LG you'll need to bring something new and original to the table. Running powah full time sniper won't work either, so good luck :)

#141 see #142, and no I never got mentored. Had to figure out everything I know by myself.

#143 Yes by a landslide. Other games (cs in particular) are boring as shit because it's a bunch of solo heroes. TF2 is one of the only games where there's a huge team based element mixed with the need for good aim. Another game I really like watching is quake clan arena, some of the shit they do is nutty. I play league of legends occasionally, played D3 but that sucks, and when guild wars 2 comes out I'll play that.

#144 Not a question, weirdo.

#135 zowie g-tf speed

#136 ww has decent aim. He's one of those guys that is really annoying to play against but when you play with him you feel like he's not doing anything. He really tries to individualize the game instead of adapting to how the game is now - very much team based. He does well on lan because of the lower ping but he's been on a 3rd-4th place lan team like 5 lans in a row, might not be his teammates faults, idk.

#137 I think ammomod is retarded. Promotes wild flick shots to try and out splash your opponent. I am a huge advocate of the directs ammomod arena. The pattern recognition you get by strictly focusing on their movement (and what movement patterns work for you) is unparalelled. If you're doing it right, you should be juggling opponents at their kneecaps/shins so they take the full direct rocket damage and lose their movement. This can be applied in game as well because even if you miss you'll splash right behind them.

#137 Played an RPG called legend of dragoon (old school circa 99?), the second disc was titled 'Platinum Shadow'. Thought that was cool, that was my name until I got bored of having that long of a name so I dropped the shadow.

#138 Take control of your team. Don't buy into their "two aggro soldiers is the new meta" bs, pretty sure you and flow getting destroyed at lan had a lot to do with not having a real pocket. The team needs a core to play off of and you should man up and tell your team what you want them to do. It would help if you guys practiced more so you could get some actual experience on pocket.

#140 mixup, LG, madmen, br0, chess club, ducks, lanskyteam, PW

#132 yes, and I don't ever do it because through tons of practice on jump maps I've found a way to jump just as far without doing a gimmicky ctap tactic. No I will not show you how. Most people should learn it and if you can master it, power to you, it's not consistent enough for me.

#133 I have no idea about any open players, the only IM player that stands out to me is S on my chest. - Yes, I take a piss - Give me a list, my #1 would have to be oplaid.

#130 absolutely. This weekend in florida there's no sales tax on shoes or clothing, not sure about the NE. Check it out

#127 teng tang tagg you're all the same.

#128 it hasn't much. Harbleu comms more than relic (sometimes I have to tell him to stfu) and ruwin offclasses a bit more than mo0se. Generally I think our team dynamic was really strong that season so just improving our coordination will be key to success.

#123 go0d j0k3

#124 because kermit is probably a better demo than ducky strictly because he comms more. They have comparable DM

#115 depends how drunk I was. Probably gyggly.

#117 what is a tf2 in-joke?

#118 his strong arms.

#119 dabes

#120. I don't know. I don't really have a reason to.

#121 Kermit. Powah. S on my chest

Harbleu was on pocket during the season. He's been raping every team we play as roamer which is where I think he's on his best class anyway. Blaze is a little one dimensional with his abuse of gunboats, whereas harb can switch between the two interchangeably which makes him more dynamic. That's just my opinion, blaze is a really good roamer too.

#110 I am friends with all the players on my team and they are all beasts. Yes and No to your question.

#112 Most overrated: yz50 Most underrated: anonemouse

#100 don't be egotistical or selfish. Confidence comes with the territory of being pocket soldier but you need to weigh the inputs of the rest of your teammates as well. Communicate with your team that everything you're doing is to try your best to make their lives easier rather than just hog the heals to get the glory frags.

#103 there are only two NA teams going. Our biggest weaknesses will be lack of sleep and hangovers. The EUs have like 70 teams, most will suck. Their weaknesses will be their soldiers.

#104 banny's got me beat on a majority of the maps imo.

Banny, me, sweater, dummy, boulder, puff, unf, chris tah fah

Pocket: tlr, tri, tyrone, - tossup between lansky, boomer, lange, and blank, with z being the newest/weakest

Roamer: harbleu, blaze, dave, kermit, mackey, rr, panic, tehoreoz, ghost

Worst invite player? Probably cinq or someone else on that team.

Edit: didn't see your first question. I think I'd be middle of the pack on scout behind ruwin clock yz enigma, after a whole season who knows. Medic I think I'd be top 2 easily
