It's a thing

I guess it's reasonable sometimes

everything in TF2 is situational. Everything can be good in certain situations

don't look to me to coach your 6s team.

I use lower settings than most people would. I used 800 DPI and like 3.5 ingame, but I got a new mouse and made it slower.

8-10?

every heavy I watched that couldn't pull that off get ganked by spies in pub play; is it different in pro?

I like the name. I'm probably the laziest player who still plays in plat. all of these guys work out 4 times a week, run 5-6 miles all the time, and are genuinely very healthy, fit people. I don't think I'm an athlete.

A lot of the "strength" in an esports player comes from 2 things. Reactions and decisions. Because of this, an immense mental toll is taken on you in a longer game. Bo5s are absolutely horrible, and by the end you're just happy to be done. I feel bad for the players of that Bo7 in DotA the other day. 11 hours.

Thanks for sharing! Huge TF fan, been playing since the days of Quake Team Fortress. IMHO Q3F/ETF was the best version. Not sure if you ever got to play QTF, but it was insanely unbalanced - snipers back then could call Air Strikes and Spies had grappling hooks to move across the field. The best feature was demo's could stick team mates and have them suicide bomb. Anyway, it's great to hear from a pro-gamer's point of view.

I'm wondering...
Is it allowed to use all weapons available ingame?
Or do you have a few different ones that's allowed?
Or do you have to use stock weapons, the ones you have when you download the game at first?

Depends on the league

There are "All stock" leagues, where you can only use the stock weapons, and there are unlocks only leagues. UGC and ESEA have certain unlocks banned, but they're banned for a good reason (usually).

I am wonder just how "good" you actually are..

You might just be the last person clinging to an aged video game.. that would make you better than most if not all the n00bers...   but the fact that tf2 has long since lost major popularity would mean most of the top players are gone as well..

So essentially, it is more likely you are the king of fools..


I don't write this to demean your achievement,  it is simply my view at a likely scenario in the current state of the tf2 population

I'm not good compared to other people.

I stopped playing for a few reasons, one of them being that literally everyone else in the league is/was better than me

because we think people don't think we exist. Any sort of publicity is loved by us, especially players of "smaller" games, like Gw2 and TF2. DotA/LoL/SC players are a little less like this, but it's certainly still there.

What is your dota 2 solo mmr?

Don't play ranked enough, don't know yet. Probably the 3.2k range, I'm not that good.

How much money do you make a month through professional gaming?

I made about 2k over my entire TF2 career, and it was just me getting paid to fakenick. The TF2 scene is real shady when you get down to it. The real success is in DotA 2/LoL/CS:GO right now. They have the biggest prizes/salaries. DotA 2 players are the highest earners right now (from tournaments), with LoL players not far behind.

It's known that EG players get over 100k a year before winnings. Some SC2 players were/are on 100k+ salaries.

but don't they see these companies are just taking advantage of them?

They're too lazy to find something good. They're gamers. They just want to game on something that works.

Currently reds, but that's just because I have GMK caps on my Filco. I used nothing but browns for a pretty sizable period of time.

(And it's an ARTS, not a moba)

Depends on the game. In a strategy game, I can see it doing pretty well. DotA is actually balanced at the pub level as much as it is a competitive one. I've had a (albeit short) conversation with icefrog about the way he balances, at a lot of it revolves around pro players giving input about the problem heroes in pubs. I think that to properly balance a game, input from people who play that game at a high level is very useful, and certainly not a thing to be wasted. In an FPS, I don't see it being as useful, but any dev should have access to every tool they can have access too, and professionals are a very useful tool, and oft overlooked.

Sorry. I'm quite passionate about the "problem pub characters" in Dota.

I know all characters can be annoying when played well, but these are annoying when played badly as well.

What mouse do you use?  I read about your DPI settings, but I don't think you identified the actual mouse.

What are your favourite/preferred heroes in Dota? And what are your favourite lane combos?
