I agree with you that a single player can definitely anchor a team super hard, but that's not to say that the rest of the team can't step up their game and carry said player.
Trust me I've had quite a bit of experience with this (see: NeonCharmander, CondescendingCandlestick, spello playing on a netbook)

pretty sure there was a log from a little while ago where he got 67% heals from saam

IMO it'd be a good idea to have it automatically ban the maps that were just played, instead of (or in addition to) the random map bans. Would prevent people from having to do two metalworks pugs in a row (and help add more variety, which seems to be the whole point of random bans)

holy fuck the new sound scared the living shit out of me
pls lower the volume or make it less high pitched

that's just the very nature of lawena, it moves your custom folder to lwrtcustom and replaces it with it's own custom folder (containing movie configs and such)

I don't understand why you put in the clip at 1:30, unless I'm mistaken you're just doing the last jump on eons (an easy soldier map) the way it's intended to be done.
As for the edit overall I enjoyed it, the HLAE smooths were for the most part pretty good and I liked he music. As others have said the difficulty/creativity on the jumps was kind of lacking, but it's understandable since it's your second movie. Another thing I should mention is that the custom explosion particles (ex 1:14) were a little bit too flashy for my liking, they can become much less of an eye sore if you use motion blur (either using srcdemo or some sort of frame blending in vegas, don't believe in game motion blur affects it)

If I remember correctly, tf2rjweekly posted demo download links to some of their older runs (or casual's first TAS runs at least). If you need editing practice that may be useful, but it's probably not worth it to make an entire movie out of already-used clips. The easier option is to just make a jump democall thread and hope people will submit stuff.

GL man, you definitely have potential as a video maker, just keep at it.

unless you can make a pugchamp replacement with a good UI and map banning system, there's really no point in trying
also i don't see why you'd implement a tf2mix style no captain system, allowing randoms to captain basically fulfills the same need in a better way

presumably because he died right it

oh I forgot davidb.Pete will pound open now that he gets more than 5fps
IM should also look out for megawacs bison antics, spooky stuff

not sure if your issue is the same as mine was, but when my PC was taking a long time to tab into tf2 (maybe 15 seconds max) I just removed -dxlevel from the launch options and it was fixed
