TomAlso war never had any intentions in going so if suave really were serious about going they would have gotten a roster with people who at least had some intention in going
You're saying this as if there were loads of demomen for them to choose from that they knew/liked enough to play with, let alone travel abroad and compete with. Even if there were people they liked, who says they would have gotten any meaningful practice with someone they hadn't played with before? Everyone on the team pretty much knew war to some extent so, being pushed for time, he was the logical choice.
