2012 Update part 1

Well damn. Its been another year since I updated this blog. And again a lot has happened in my TF2 career. Where to start.... Well in the last blogpost i made a year ago I mentioned how I was leaving my old team continuity. We had just finished our division 4 in season 9. We almost won the div however it was so close we ended up coming joint third. Our team revolved around our demoman Zethzio. And all our tactics made it so we could utilize our demoman to the fullest. Bombing both soldiers in for damage etc

 

 I have no problem admitting that our demoman carried us. And this unfortunately led to him wanting to seek a different team so he could play to his potential. With half our roster quitting the lineup. I decided to also leave to find a team that I could reach my potential with. However we did not part on such bad terms as we all went to the insomnia lan i43 together.

 We did fairly well considering most of the team had to use bad laptops. We made it out of the group stages and got 13th place in the tournament which is a good achievement considering. After lan me and continuity parted ways. It was kinda sad at first however I knew the team wouldn't be the same without our old roster. Because I wanted to try go for div 3 team I started trialing.

I found that no teams that were going to play at the level I wanted were looking so I managed to get some game experience with a team called elemental violence.

 This team has been around for a very long time and because of datenshi and shrikes relationship we always used to mix together. The reformed after season 9 and because their medic Ace was unavailable to play I merced medic for them. Before I played for EV I used to think that i was the best medic in the world. And the only problems I had were that of the others around me. However playing with EV for a extended period of time taught me valuable lessons. Mainly how much I still had to learn as a main caller and medic.

 I had to push myself every day they needed me to play. I wanted to prove to the team that I could be as good as Ace if I put work in. I improved so much when playing with them I felt very confident when Ace came back I could leave and join a top div 3 team. However this wasn't the case. I trialed for a large number of teams and even formed one. However none of the teams worked out for me (snt geroge a team I formed kicked me out because of a clash in personalities) By this point i had gone to university so I took a break for a number of months.
 However the drinking at university got old. And as my course gave me a lot of free time and I had broken up with my awful uni girlfriend I decided I wanted to get back into TF2. I joined Elemental violence as a backup medic and began studying demos and practicing with the team as much as I could. The members of EV are some of the best friends in TF2 I have ever had. Ethug and Zethzio were in my old team continuity and the others I got to know really well. Playing backup medic for EV was amazing I did not get a lot of game time only once or twice a week. However I learnt so much from watching them play and they always drove me to improve all the time. However it got to the point where I was tired of only playing backup medic. So I decided to make a big decision and form a new team. A team I was going to stick with no matter what. The team is called the Andy bones experience This is all for this update. Part 2 will be posted when I feel keen enough :)
