I'm in no way trying to criticize any players in the match, just pointing out strengths and weaknesses of this specific game. I chose this game because it had a good range of things to talk about, even though it isn't a top-level match.
This is my first try at something like this and I really don't know if I'll do more or not, so feedback is helpful. Hope it's informative.
So this is the uploader's first attempt at this, but I think he explained a lot of things quite well. This is something strategists lovvee... to watch. This video is for the thinking player
You don't have to agree to everything he's saying... but for everything else... consume the knowledge!
If you're new to TF2 and don't know how teams work stuff like this is highly recommended. Veteran TF2 players know what to look for in terms of weaknesses and exploiting opportunities, not just by yourself but looking at it as a whole--as a team. Monitoring deaths and your team's movement is one of the things that a good strategist does.
