TF2

Favorite Class and why you decided to play it:

Solider, because I think it’s the closest to quake. It’s my strongest class and played it the most in TFC back in the day.

Your favorite player:

I’d have to say Orr4cle. Top class demoman.

Most Kills in one round: 28 as soldier

Best moment in TF2 and why:

It would have to be a clan game I played a while back. My clan CoD vs niG. We were defending on gravelpit behind B point.  I saw  Enemy coming from C side and rocket jumped towards him, at the same time he sticky jumped towards us and I killed him while we were both  in midair.

Advice for new players

What you think new players need to do to better them and become more competitive.

Well I think they need to start off with public servers.  Get used to the game , play all the classes (well competitive ones) and see which they prefer and think they will progress with. Then start playing pickups to get used to the 6v6 strategy. Best advice I think is to just keep playing and learn from your mistakes, improve your knowledge of the map (know where ammo / health packs are,  and most likely where the enemy will attack from) and improve your aim.
