Thanks, tryin it.

That's pretty creepy dude.

I went on tf2lobby shit is shutdown by the government wtf lol.
I sat in a tf2center lobby for 2 hours, about 30 minutes as medic.
I went on irc on gamesurge and geeks and there are like 10 people total in there.

If you need a ringer/standin whatever message me I'm bored.

making things up is fun eh

FYI I'm a programmer for Escalation Studios.

6 man teams.
Prize pools, travel, lodging, motivation, in-game stalemates, class diversity, etc all suffer. The standard 6 class lineup is so much stronger than any other option. So many hitpoints to heal help make classes like heavy all but useless. Waiting around for everyone to get heals and buffs slows the pace of the game down more than necessary.

Defending 5v6 for 30 seconds is very easy when teams are good and turns a single pick into an all but meaningless advantage. You usually have to wait for 2 picks or a significant uber advantage to be able to force things. You should be able to pull people out of position on many maps with smart rotations and feints to break through choke points without uber. But you can almost always just split demo/solly/medic and solly/scout/scout to hold both paths. This makes being out of position isn't nearly as important. Gunboats medic diving is so low risk high reward largely because of the strength of defending 5v6.

We defended both.

Koth is very fun to play IMO and can have a good strategic element. I pushed hard for koth_viaduct. It is however a very bad spectator experience, so I agree.

I think there are a lot bigger problems than the maps.

I'll probably be around to play.

Congrats, good luck.
