Tutorial: Initiation

[ just the video right now, article to come later ]

For you Highlander kiddies.

HELLO, today we are on pl_badwater. I had some neat hiding spots for soldier/demo that I would like to show you on here.

First one is near the first blue spawn of badwater

I don't reccomend it but I did picked some idiot players during one highlander once.

The second spot is probably the most known hiding spot on badlands. and it's near the red's spawn.

                                                 Funny thing is no one ever looks up here.

And the last hiding spot is probably the most sneakiest and I presume not many people know about it. this is also near the red spawn near the sniper area.

Heh, not sure if anyone knows about it, but this is one of the best hiding spots I found on badwater, and a lot  of people go through here.

These spots may or may not help you, it's a 50/50 chance the first two will help. But they are worth giving a shot to try :>

Quickie: Gullywash Mid

I stumbled on to this little hiding spot(?) on gullywash and I think it would help when the opposing team is about to push. but I think when people go to mid from choke they can probably see your feet. here's some pictures:

It perhaps may help or not, who knows I didn't find out about this spot till now which is embarrassing (this spot is near the blu's choke.)

Speaking of player resources

Be on the lookout for up and coming sites featuring TF2 news and gameplay guides. ESEA has recently been growing and they've joined up with mygamingedge.com to bring you more videos then ever. a website called TF2HUB is bringing you the best written guides you can find in one place.

A big question...

So here's the thing that most competitive players TF2 or not ask themselves most about the game; "How can I get better?" As many have asked this question before, many have also answered it. In all of my experiences on the internet I have yet to stumble upon anything that answers this question better then Chance's Quake Bible . Even if Quake wasn't such a huge part of TF2's history it would still be a very valuable resource to discover how you can succeed in any game. Chance lists many useful tips which can help with your success in any game from dota to SC2 to TF2.I shall go over one of the signifacant points, practice, right now.

Practice is the main subject of improving. Be it with a team or by yourself, practice is what will make you better as an individual player. There are many ways to practice in TF2, the trick is finding which ways work for you. The best kind of practice I'm sure in most people's opinions is practice with a team. Of course the best way to be the best 6v6 player is by actually playing 6v6. However if you feel like you are missing certain parts of your play, there are places where you can get specialized practice for your needs. Need an edge in 1v1 skill? Finding your airshots a little rusty? Try a little MGE mod. Feel like your jumps need work? Hop into a jump map server. Feel like you need to just work on your aim and game sense a bit? Check out some DM mod servers. Feel like improving your team play and positioning? Watch some recorded demos. As you can see there are many resources available for players of any class. Remember, it's not HOW MUCH you practice, but HOW you practice.

Gravel Pit Day.

Hello again. I'm Reimu and i'm here to show you some cool gravel pit hiding spots. I thought about doing this since gravel pit esea matches are still happening. there is also a video I will show you of 2 great spots you should use to get a major pick and turn the game around later on.

Alright now you see you lights, thats the first hiding spot I will show you. No one really expects anyone to be up there, This entrance to the B side of gravel is where the combo of med+soldier+demoman come through in. sometimes they would go to the left side but mostly this side.

 Now there is a high chance your feet wont be viewable from down below by your opposing players. When I used this hiding spot I managed to get a pick on the demoman which prevented the other team from pushing in.

Now remember the left side right, now heres a hiding spot that involves the left side entrance (from pov it's the  right side when pushing in. and left side when defending) Now this is a great hiding spot to get some scout/soldier picks in and if you are lucky you can possibly get the med and soldier combo.

 Looks pretty high up, you can rocket jump on to the lamp there. there is two sets of these lamp posts so you can do the same to the other one which ever you feel comfy with this one is preferably my side. you can see both entrances and people coming in. Remember people are lazy to look up but some are not.

Now for the last two hiding spots will be in a video that I will show soon if i'm not lazy
