Not to be confused with the Death Merchant University.

Since late 2020 I have begun creating educational content on YouTube. It has gotten a little bit of traction, and I got some requests to make a TFTV thread to make it more accessible, so here we are. Below will be my videos posted in chronological order, as well as my brand new Midfight Fundamentals video, which I just put out tonight!

Completed Videos (Chronological Order)

"Line Theory" & Avoiding Unnecessary Deaths (this video kinda sucks but the idea is good lol)
Last Hold Fundamentals
RGL S9 Advanced Grand Finals Roamer Analysis
Midfight Fundamentals
Last Push Fundamentals

Newest video: Competitive Terminology Explained

Really nice video, I would add that communicating to your teammates efficiently in the buildup before a push, as well as what you are focusing during a push is key. It was implied, but not explicitly said that "these are calls that must be made and usually by this person."

I think sprinkling in a bit of "how to call" in these videos may be beneficial for lower level players who don't really understand comms properly. Maybe an idea for a future vid, idk. Things like, "the scout playing the point can call if they are doing it, or if they need more uber to run across to shoot the enemy team".

Also maybe (if it isn't too much work) using some clips from different games to emphasise every point more rather than just some. Like when saying that sniper can snipe people and you can drop players if you are greedy, try to find a clip from that happening. Or when you say that teams take too long to push and the enemy gets uber or kritz and punishes the push. Ofc a lot more work so don't feel forced because the ideas discussed in the video are actually really good, it would just push the video to being even better, even if the spoken content is the same.

thanks for the feedback, I have thought about these things and even had some of it in my script but cut it in favour of a <15 min runtime and a, i dont want to say dumbed down, but dumbed down script for simplicity's sake. I think the details behind who's calling what and when to be details far less fundamental than for simply SOMEONE to be calling what and when, its pretty common knowledge that every team operates differently and i'd rather reinforce broader ideas than specifics for this reason

for finding the clips i literally just go to my demos that i have saved on my pc and its pretty much just froyo vs witness vs g6 demos since they are easily the 3 best teams NA has seen in the modern day. I went out of my way to download other Invite demos from this previous season to help me find more clips and it paid off and i found relevant footage quite quickly (dothogs vs froyo, lebron vs cat posse).

as for showing examples of snipers getting picks and stuff, with my basis for collecting footage being FROYO/G6/witness demos, its much harder to find that stuff because... these players follow the fundamentals to a tee. i'd far rather use clips that show smooth, clean, near-ideal gameplay, found in a relatively short amount of time, than to take longer and find players fucking up, or dig for lower level demos, find these examples quicker and accidentally imply "these players are BAD they are NOT following fundamentals look at them SUCK". I think it was wandum or dreamboat who said about casting, something like "its better to highlight why a team is successful than why a team is struggling" or something along those lines and i think thats a good philosophy for these videos.

^for the sake of mentioning it, "a relatively short amount of time" in the case of the last push video is something approaching 3 hours looking thru demos, analyzing if what i just witnessed is a good example for the video, and then record it/rerecord it from different POVs, different angles in freecam (if anyone out there is skeptical about how long videomaking takes, be my guest to go search for this stuff yourself). combining that with writing and revising my script, recording voiceover, and editing, the video probably took something north of 10 hours to produce in its entirety.

That all said i appreciate your compliments, I'm not trying to whine and complain about how much of my time goes into this stuff too much lol

DoughyMaybe an idea for a future vid, idk.

for the sake of putting it out there, here are some things that are already on my agenda: KOTH, Maincalling + Communication, Sac Plays and Pressure Cooking, Competitive Vocab, and even updating Marxist's precepts videos for modern day TF2 (scout, soldier, demo, medic fundamentals respectively) i can't guarantee release dates for these, but im looking to have a few more videos out by the end of the year.

if anyone out there have other video ideas, or if other top players want to reach out with knowledge for the above topics, i'm all ears and wanna make the most relevant, accurate videos possible. you can post here or hmu on steam/discord
