It's unavoidable afaik but im no mapper

a workaround is knowing the date of the demo
find the map version of snakewater from that date
in tf\maps replace the updated snakewater_final1 with the older version
then play the demo and the map will be using the "correct" version

bit of feedback concerning the changes to one of the spawndoors on last

also a suggestion I forgot:
if you add an obstacle like a small wooden crate on the container you block part of the sniper sightline from dropdown which should make it better to hold that side as medic

officerreekz uploads random VODs. mostly NA invite players, but also some EU players if you scroll down a bit

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1514731274
recent NA LAN. Idk how long that VOD will remain up unless it's already highlighted. Should give you an idea of what the current names in NA are to look out for

Insomnia, an EU LAN, is happening at the end of August
And there's always VODs on https://www.twitch.tv/rglgg https://www.twitch.tv/teamfortresstv etc

For people wondering about visas and stuff I checked this

I'm from Belgium and I'm in the UK for tourism said it's fine to stay in the UK for 6 months without a visa
I recommend filling in your own stuff, but you can click this to read what I got. Should be the same for most of you

This forum is mostly 6v6 players so I don't think you'll find much helpful advice here.
I can't give you advice concerning mechanics. For that I'd sooner point to places w more active spy mains (unironically reddit might actually be better for this than TFTV)

Biggest advice I can give you though is to practise in pubs, not on offline scenario maps w low ping (fakelag also doesn't really do the trick imo) and bots that mimic your movement
Experience in pubs is a much higher priority than trying to brute force the mechanics.
As you learn to read real situations, you learn to set up trickstabs to be less predictable and easier to execute.
And over time the mechanics will just kinda get there

In my eyes this video is the equivalent of grinding kovaak's all day to get better at scout or whatever. It's a small piece of the puzzle

edit: the one mechanical thing I did notice is you went for some attempts where you are still in front diagonally of the engi and you kinda just try to stab him in the shoulder hoping it works. You need to stand right beside him for that to work, otherwise your knife always lands on the front 180° of the hitbox
