What we can learn: 1. When playing gunslinger focus on other buildings such as teles and dispensers. 2. In KOTH you have 2 gameplay style which is Team Play (guarding flanks with sentry, provide dispenser and teleporters. The other being Ninjaneer putting teles in random spots behind the enemy flank and could either be a game changer or a waste of time. 3. Always pay attention to the kill board. Know when to move your buildings since the number of people alive decides the wave of battle. 4. Keep eyes on your surroundings, that cheeky spy could strike at any time.
I love to how someone break down thier Play in tf2 beacuse its seams like this is just chaose but when someone just talk about what thier doin u start seeing how much is goin into this matches. (Sorry for grammar im from Poland)
The grammar is fine, actually. The spelling is the issue, as well as a bit of tense confusion. In order, Breaks, their, because, seems, chaos, talks, their, doing, you, going, these.

Good points have been raised, but i also maybe a bit of... i dont think confirmation bias is the term, but like whenever you play an esoteric and usually unviable playstyle, you might assume that youll do poorly, or at least poorer compared to what your class is capable of? So you notice when you win with fat scout more than when you notice when you win as regulat heavy. Thats my experience with demopan anyway wheese
