I know we don't have this demo file but wtf happened with his HP here
https://youtu.be/qEpEWvTbtnQ?feature=shared&t=93

I think I remember seeing this glitch once before, idk if it's patched or not or if it there was a way to do it intentionally

edit: it's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFt6jwcZLjw&t=93s. had a chat with odin and he claimed he was confused when it happened. (whether you want to believe him is up to you, idk why I'm getting downfragged)
scrubbed through the demo pov and I didn't see him do it anywhere else

this is pretty hilarious and awkward from my perspective

if anyone has any clips or information that are worth putting in a followup "extras" video, please let me know. people are pretty curious about the ban and this is the best opportunity for me to explain all of the info available

even if it's just a clip of people discussing things. this clip without copyrighted music being blasted would be good to have (edit: I have the clip now)

pyro has giga airblast that physically removes the opponent's keyboard from their desk when used (tf2 is now an esport)

This is actually very enlightening and explains a lot. Thanks. Might be something I can point out...

Edit: These are community servers only, right?

The intent is not to prove Demoknight is the new meta (unless Odin happens to win Prem but I SEVERELY doubt). I'm on your side for the most part.

The video tries to prove that comp tf2 is a place where you go to have fun with 5 friends, and not a place "where fun goes to die" (as put by one extremely unhinged pubber I saw). Playing Demoknight is just my method because I suck with stickies and unironically do better with the sword. People are gonna go in with the expectation that it's cringe and stupid and leave after seeing the positive side of things.

I won't spoil too much regarding the "truth nuke" but it's not going to be a schizo rant about how comp tf2 ruined casual play by *checks notes* nerfing OP unlocks into ok/meh unlocks that are still perfectly fine

where shield™ and sword™

I don't think this will "revive" 6s. I think at best, it will fight against the negative stereotypes that pub players have developed from watching (but not actually playing) 6s. Or from hearing someone else who has also never played 6s, talk about 6s.

Who knows though. Maybe some uncletopia players will watch it, they'll find the team banter hilarious, and then they'll want to try 6s as one of the meta classes

I was thinking of making my own video like this but I've stopped spectating for a long time, so I'm not familiar with a chunk of the people who appeared after I stopped playing 6s. Someone would have to clue me in on some interesting stories. The biggest story I'm aware of as of lately is Odin potentially reaching prem with full demoknight, with the questions being "is he cheating?" "should it be banned?"

The best idea I had was to talk about the infamous "europeean" incident and how thalash beat b4nny afterwards and how it was probably the most hilarious thing to happen in this game's entire history (I doubt b4nny would be impressed with me, though)

I'm also working on a vid about my own 6s season in div4 which tries to capture the "essence" of starting a team, finding new people and having laughs while sometimes entering "serious mode" whenever it's needed. hoping it doesn't result in a swarm of demoknights ruining etf2l

I will use the clockwork clip. thanks very cool

no particular reason

bonus points if it has viewmodels enabled or a .dem that still works

legend. will send to turbo post haste

it's a dead discord image link. historical data has been lost :(

this is important historical data that must not be lost

ramp = win (as long as I have low ping)

The failure of FACEIT (more specifically, the competitive 12v12 clan wars I played in with comms) is already an example of why competitive 12v12 with no restrictions does not work. He of all people should already know why incentivizing groups of comp players to "tryhard" on pubs leads to degenerate tactics and awful matches, because he was the biggest complainer when FACEIT 12s were a thing.

At lower skill levels it devolves into ubering the Phlog Pyro to wipe out uncoordinated players and turn a 12v12 into a 12v5 or worse. Can't imagine it would be very appealing to pub players, even. The only reason pubs are enjoyable is because most players deliberately ignore the best strats, goof around, or they're simply too bad at the video game to abuse stupid unlocks.

Edit: Oh lol someone already brought this up, I can't read
