Cheers bl4nk, really good info. I'll give you a start tick next time. :)

You're meant to have an experienced caller.

Bl4nk is critical of European teams who wait for a pick, he says you can push off damage. This was news to me. Can you push off your roamer distract-bombing like at mids or is that crazy?

New diagnosis sought, doc. My flank are doing weird things, either not staying alive or timing pushes wrong, I'm not sure, and I don't know what they should be doing. Please help.

Has bl4nk's twitch channel gone?

Nope, he's just changed username. http://www.twitch.tv/blank

Cheers bl4nk! We're going to switch our scouts to give the demo better protection at mids so he can do more damage.

Laser Beams have three players off-classing. I thought they were playing for fun.

Following is pointless; the live streams are listed in the sidebar. If your ego needs that boost that's your own problem.

Bl4nk, do you do diagnosis? Our demoman is a converted soldier who gets good k/d but averages almost 100 dpm less than expected. I think it's the team's fault but I'm not sure how. We're European div6, team is dmm.

1. Fish says always go 3-3 pushing gully 2nd but Peign likes bringing the roamer with the combo to lob at them. What does Mirelin prefer?

2. Bl4nk is really dismissive of 'European ubers', where you push uber into uber and hope for the best. Has Mirelin learned anything from the Americans?

3. Can you ask if Prem players have any inside info on this, because I can't even get a date for when they're announcing.

Yeah, they broke demo files for everyone, I think. Expect a fix within four updates.

#33 A lot of people think the uber charge rate, duration and power makes the game too medic-focused. It's the one criticism you hear from MOBA people that holds water. I suggest that as soon as someone writes a new spectator client we immediately change the game to Vaccinator-only.

It's almost the exact medigun we were asking for to improve the competitive metagame.

This should be the ONLY medigun allowed in 6v6. Would improve the game no end.

Even though the cannon has spherical grenades they still reflect at random angles, which is a great shame for anyone wanting to play explody pool.
