Official Thread for the Scrim Team

i can go heavy or soldier.  I'm an okay demoman, and i'd rather heavy or soldier than medic.

I used to be able to scout, but I haven't been nearly as good lately.  when I get that back, I'll think of going back.

[BOSSNIG]

okay then, it sounds like a good lineup for you guys would be:

2 scouts (hishipi flex sniper)
1 soldier
1 heavy
1 demo
1 medic

That's assuming all the right people show up.

2 heavies are too hard for a medic to keep healed and just become sniper fodder. You shouldn't have more than 1 heavy 6v6.

Actually, too many scouts can lead to not enough offensive push and defensive strength. So I would actually say replacing one of those scouts with something else would be nice.

[Red Alert]

that's not true at all; scouts can only be offensive.

if you swap out a scout then the team will be destroyed by good scout duos. Up to you.

Okay, so lets set up what we have so far on classes.

Scout:
Hishipi
Brett (Flex)

Soldier:
Darklink
Totla (Flex)

Demoman:
Totla
Darklink (Flex if Totla isn't there or if 2 demos are allowed by the teams)

Heavy:
Jono
Silver
Brett
(We'll work this out later)

Medic:
Link3588

Sniper:
Silver (Flex)
Hishipi (Flex)

There. Feel free to add this to the first post or inform me of a mistake.

I will tell you now that I will NOT be able to make every game and practice.  I don't have the ability to always be on at a certain time.

scouts work very well defensively.

good scout duos?  If we end up playing good scout duos, we'll be destroyed anyways, as we don't have a good scout duo ourselves.

[Red Alert]

um, I don't think you quite understand what 'defensive' means. Scouts are a glass cannon; if they aren't being offensive they are dying.

Also, if they have a good scout duo, you can at least give them trouble with 2 scouts. If you have 1 scout and they have 2, your one won't be able to do much at all if the other 2 stick together. Also, swapping the scout for a combat class makes it hard for the medic to keep everyone healed.

I can play Scout with a flex of Sniper, but seeing as how we already have a lot of Scouts, I'm not sure.

Alright guys, i'm not on the team, nor am I in any leagues at the moment, but standard 6v6 is 2 soldiers, 2 scouts, 1 demo, and 1 medic.

Heavies are too slow for the fast paced nature of 6v6, and scouts tear them (and their medic) apart.
As said in the thread before, spys are situational. Made to take out a(n uber) medic, and run away. not to try and take on soldiers or demos.
Sniper isn't used in clan matches, except very rarely, when you have a very good offensive sniper. (doesn't hang way in the back. up in the action, taking out medics.)
Engies are never used, a waste of time because a single uber wipes them out.
And pyros are useless against soldiers, which are used quite frequently.

Just thought I'd point out a few things.
By the way, let me know when you guys get into an actual league. (IE, TWL)

you are sadly mistaken about heavies

I'm going to have to agree with Seven on this one.

[Psilocybin]

Have you ever played in a league match? HWGs get decimated in a few seconds.

yes, I was in CAL and CEVO. My first clan was paroxysm and I switched to shears, but my connection was too shaky to play with the latter. I know that good heavies do most certainly not get decimated in a few seconds.

Then let me ask you this;
Are any of the people here any where near that level of play with heavy?

do you think we'll be playing anyone who we'll even be competitive against?  If so, wouldn't it be nice?
