Ah, OK. It was just that in reading the other threads it looked like most people were having tactics discussions etc.

I appreciate that this may sound like an old cliche, but when it comes to events like this we really believe that it's the taking part that counts and not the winning or who has the highest score.

All the TCHS representatives did their Clan proud, and well played to each and everyone of you. Some may have got higher individual scores than others, but that really doesn't mean that those individuals contributed more. Infact, it can actually be quite opposite.

When the teams were drawn at random, we commented on how even the teams appeared on paper........and they were. If they weren't, i'm sure we wouldn't have heard the last of it immediately after the teams had been posted on the website. However this was not the case!

The fact of the matter is that the players in some teams simply bonded better together and were therefore able to play as a team better, and were therefore rewarded accordingly. Watching the matches on HLTV, it was apparent that all the teams were evenly balanced, with many different players showing signs of sheer brilliance at times, but it was the excellant team play and understanding of their current situation that won them the games. The two caps on Warpath by the spy clearly demonstrating this point, a team and individual in tune with the current situation within the game/match.

Anyway, just wanted to congratulate all those that took part and to thank you all for your support.

Cheers,

Zoskie

When do we sign up for Nut Roast '09? Or even Winter Roast?!

Id gladly play then if I can, should be at uni and have a decent gaming comp by then.... Itll be what most of my income will go onto

Glad about all the Techious players getting to the semi's, shame I couldnt play or even watch, seemed a very organised game! Seems most people enjoyed the whole experience aswell, which is the main thing

Heh, while it may just be the taking part and the fun that matters, comparing scores is always part of the fun. xP As TCHS we don't take scores too seriously, we like to win of course, but we play for fun, the scores are just the icing on the cake!

And indeed, when's the next one?

Oh, and DHR, they should be releasing a compilation vid soonish if you want to watch the highlights.

Ah awesome! Have to watch that then!

Hopefully Some of u lot will be on it

Hopefully. I did have a really good uber as a pyro in lazytown, cleared out an entire control point and then capped it. Did it again later non-ubered, but wasn't as spectacular.

lol i think i got to play quite well, dominated the sniper in mets. team the whole match, which was fantastic for us as it meant my team didnt have to worry bout a sniper, he was already taken care of

fantastic teamwork all round, TCHS players played amazingly and of course, we all had fun

and jst to zoskie we r only joking when we say i did better cos of so and so

So how much did you actually snipe, then, Wynney? I ended up not playing my preferred class, the pyro, for a lot of the time, as the team benefited better from other classes, such as medic and engineer. I did play pyro a bit, still, and got some good kills with it.

i got to play sniper in the 1st and 4th match, and for a short period in the final (sniper wasnt too effective).

i played eng. in 2nd match and semi final and as a medic in the 3rd match

so basically in 3 games i played sniper

So actually pretty much the same as me and my pyro, lol.

well not as much as i ideally wanted to snipe, bt i had gd fun (still need to practise other classes tho)

the nutroast showed me personally tht i am actually a decent sniper woot!

Jeese, we know you're a decent sniper! You better be after playing CSS so much! Play other classes, lol!

lol i no im gd sniper, its best class to play. and i do play as other classes....when sniper class is full

What do your stat bars look like when you start it up? Does sniper have much mroe time than any other?

points wise no (only 2 more than next class), everything else such as hs, i think so

I asked for time played xP

I just remembered I can see your stats, and you have 4 times as much sniper time as anything else.

oops, sorry

yes i believe the sniper class is well ahead, bt who r u to lecture me, when i look at the pyro stats on urs

Yeah, I do have a lot of time as a pyro, but it was one of my bottom classes at one point, with demo well out in front. I'm planning on playing other classes more now, though.

my new months resolution is to carry on playing sniper

You need a resolution to do that?

well it helps to convince me tht im doing the correct thing

Ive got equalish time on Soldier and Sniper on the PC

On the 360 i have a HUGE amount of time as Pyro, then Engineer, Sniper and then Medic

Heh, there isn't really a right thing to do on TF2, just work as a team. I still want to rename it SF2 sometimes... (though not with events like the awesome nutroast, teamplay makes it so much better)

u only get satisfaction from the game if u feel uve contributed to team

Well you get a lot more playing as a team, because it's so much more action.
