Learned something thanks :D

lol

What you are contributing is well appreciated. This is good stuff.

Thanks.

Awesome :D. I feel embarrassed, now, that I already knew these things and didn't take the time to spread the word. I hope everybody who reads this feels inspired to share something they know.

I switched to bonk after sv_allowwaitcommand was fixed and I found this very helpful

bind "MOUSE1" "+attack; firstperson"

This puts you in first person *immediately* when you drink. It's a lot harder to dodge knockback effects in third person and I never seem to see anything of value when the camera is back there anyway, so there's really no reason to go into third person at all.

I switched back after they defaulted autopistol (you're welcome :P), but sooner or later I'm going back to the soda... I find the pistol is a win more crutch.

lets see my heroic actions

What #3 said.

Thank you, Jaeger. A lot of people will appreciate your effort to put this together. I never knew about the strafe trick for bonk, so thanks for that.

Looking forward to other tips coming from this initiative. Hopefully other people start sharing some info too :)

I generally go spy when I want to break past a barrier, but after seeing those two tricks and thinking about it I'll probably try bonk out more. It looks like it could offer some interesting possibilities in areas where you're more concerned about pushing or holding than getting picks.

Thanks for sharing Jaeger. Let's hope they don't patch those. :]

good thread, would love to see some more in similar vein

THANK YOU, this was awesome and helped me in many ways.

I am spreading it to the rest of my friends and other newer braziliam teams.

Well done.

Hah, that strafe tip is cool.

Also liked the part about the transition from third to first - it never seemed like a big issue on the surface but why take chances?

Good stuff, just a little suggestion for your video recording (I downloaded instead of streamed)

Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 90.00fps [Video]

As great as this looks on my 120hz screen, try 30-50 next time :P
(you can set this in vegas with alt+enter, or fraps if you are using that)

look what you've done, jaeger: the braziliams are coming!

;] <3 etc.

Thanks Jaeger.
I learned alot of stuff from the match comms and your video.

thanks jaeger, mid level teams/players will really appreciate stuff like this

Freaking awesome, can't believe i didn't share this tip myself, completely passed my mind honestly.

re: #15

what else is passing your mind? make a video of that stuff. who says jaeger has to be the only one to give out pro tips?

made this a while ago and im pretty sure most people know about it by now but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfHeDJIFenk

you just have to time your second jump perfectly

cool man nice work.

found the strafe thing, and bind a long time ago, but I wasn't getting the strafe right. Wasn't hitting it fast enough :P worked in neotokyo though.

The guy that will always post off topic YouTube links

I know there are a lot floating around, but someone should compile all of the fastest routes to mid for the respective classes on all of the main maps. I know most players have a solid grasp on this now anyways, but it would be epically good for new players coming into the comp scene.

very nice work tho.

This is some valuable shit right here.

Well done Jaeger. I look forward to watching that demo with the voice comm recording. I've been saying that I would love to listen in on a high level team for a long time. I think my team has a decent grasp on communication, but I am quite sure there are a few things we could learn.

Stickied the thread, awesome work. Just edit the OP whenever you make new videos.

#twl_tf2, http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TWLTF2League

I would like an rss feed for your site, Jaeger.

#17 its not about timing its about sliding up on the player clip brush on the right

jaeger seems like a nice guy

the demo with voice comm mp3 was just what I wanted. as a low/mid player, I've always wanted to know how the top teams communicate.

FUCKING BUFF ME GLUE!

GLUE, HEAL ME!

GLUE ARE YOU GOING TO EVER BUFF ME?

GLUE. GLUE. GLUE GIMME A BUFF!

#11 thanks for the tip, honestly I just blinded followed the tutorials at pldx to get it done as fast as possible, don't even have vegas just used virtualdub, audacity, and ffmpeg. I'll drop the framerate next time though.

WE'RE GONNA NEED A MED PICK... OR AN ACT OF GOD

But yes, the .mp3 was very helpful. More of those would be much appreciated.

Went crying back to Sasha, who accepted me and burned me with cigarettes and grinded stiletto heels

probably the best post to date on gotfrag tf2, thanks for putting this up.

how to negate the after effects of bonk: valve is gunna be all over this

The demo+comm were definitely the most helpful pieces.

Thanks for that Jaeger !

was that carnage whining about the buff bet it was

Very good comms from everyone, especially from Jaeger and Carnage. I really hope people can learn from this, thanks for the content jaeger.

Really awesome stuff, Jaeger. The demo/mp3 was pretty lolzy, with carnage screaming for buffs and someone missing their jumps but not saying anything :P

If you continue these tips&trick videos, I'm sure the community as a whole will respond with more bits of knowledge of its own.

Keep up the good work :3

Two guys walk into a bar, the third one ducks.

very nice work there jaeger, this will certainly help out the competitive community by showing new opportunities for players to learn from the best as you might say..

lol, you found the trick with the bonk where you hold w and alternate a and d, I noticed that a long time ago when carnage did it on freight vs coL during pre-game

Another day another tip, first post updated

jaeger u da fkn best u da fkn best u da best gotfrag ever had

Nice did not know about those jumps, thanks a lot dude. Im making my own vids about badlands, hopefully i don't get flamed for it :)

soldier jumps are important, can definitely save you a round one day.

i kind of learned how to rocket jump doing that left side jump to the top of C. i think it's just about the maximum height/distance combo that gets practical use, so it is a good one to practice if you're trying to optimize your rjing. if you can land that consistently then you're timing is perfect

Thanks Jaeger.

The internet? Isn't that for technogeeks with spreadsheets?

#42 this used to be true, but after the update in March where they "fixed" rocket jumping it is actually much easier to do this and several other previously hard jumps. These jumps used to be somewhat unreliable because they did require almost perfect execution but now there is no reason to miss them IMO.

Cool stuff.

hey jaeg,

s my d.

also if you're going to take fall damage from the double, land on the roof. a good option if there is an uber on the point, or stickies on the ramp landing.

hey remember that one time in pure when we were gonna try a new strategy with jaeger at demo and me at huntsman sniper w/ jarate replacing the roaming solly to try that whole PISSs on them strategy discussed in the other topic, but then ww was like bbl going to europe for 4 weeks without tellin the team, then pure died.

I'm glad this got stickied.

Another great quick video Jaeger. We'd love to see more.

what do you use to record mumble? I remember vent had something built in but I didn't see it in mumble

pay no mind to the background noise, jaeger. what you are doing is for the benefit of us all, regardless of how others choose to think of it.
