The year is 20XX. The pub metagame is centered around huddling around the teleporter to see who will be the first one to use it. Players now rely on rock-paper-sissors as their sole way of deciding who goes first.

The power of the engineer to sway the entire outcome of the game is perfectly within his character. He’s a genius, with 11phds, and surrounded by insane idiotic mercenaries, of course he’d be the one to turn the tides of a fight. He’s the one braincell
I always stop to unsap a teleport if I happen to be at spawn, it's so easy and can save the state of the game But for some reason, that never happens to me when I play Engie :(
Tbf, in order to do that you need to a) see the zapped tele b) react and switch to engie (or homewrecker Pyro, I guess) c) hit it twice. All of thus assuming you have enough time to do that, and that the Spy doesn't shoot it.
@@CAMSLAYER13 True, but if they're rebuilding a tele they might need to skip back to the front in a real hurry. Besides, if I'm not playing engie myself I'm probably a demo. I can just stickyjump.
Keeping a teleporting running all match so your team can hold up their game on the enemy has such an indescribable good feeling to it, when you just check at the end and see all the points it accumulated. I actually near topscored a turbine game (actual turbine match wtf) just by maintaining a teleporter to behind one of the boxes with my dispenser - didn't even have a sentry out a mid, I had left it at intel the whole game. Teleporters are insane tools.
I feel like teleports also have a physiological effect in the state of the game, if there are 2 minutes or less to cap I can sometimes think to myself it's a dead game gg and all that but seeing that level 3 teleport gives me confidence to keep getting in to try and win, I don't know if anyone else feels that way
@@grammajam3682 I think most people are so used to saying thanks to the medic that the "Thanks" command is seen as a medic only voice command. It happens to me, I forget I can say thanks in other situations other than thanking the medic or memeing
Was just rewatching the other Engie Brain videos and it’s a sight to see for the next episode to be uploaded so we can increase our Engie IQ just a little bit more
Please make more of these videos! This is my favourite series of yours. I love just watching your regular gameplay that isn't a fast-paced frag montage. It is very chill.
I'm super happy for all the new content, but I also hope that you're taking care of yourself and not burning yourself out on content. Love everything you put out, but take care of yourself first and foremost! The community loves you and your content, but remember to love yourself as well!
11:46 Yeah, I love playing Engy in Steel and funneling my team to D and E through A. It's the superior route, but for some reason most players go through B.
i'm happy to see you back and making Videos Dane. I must say you really are making a difference here with videos like these. The teleporter thing alone with people switching to upgrade it. if any one's an engie main thankfully you are
12:39 Wow! Even Uncle Dane gets dominated sometimes. Good to know that even if you're amazing at the game, you'll still have to deal with that. Getting dominated doesn't mean you're bad.
Pro tip for saving teleporters. If you see a teleport getting sapped at spawn, switch to pyro and have the homewrecker equipped so you can remove the sapper in one hit and can possibly save you a few seconds from having to reupgrade the teleport to level 3.
Loving the amount of content lately, I’d love to see more content like this even if it might sacrifice quality here and there. Not saying that these past vids have lacked quality, but saying that the majority of us just want vids lol
It brings me a lot of satisfaction watching this; because I had already figured out a lot of this from just playing Engie so much. It's nice to see that what I've learned in my own time has paid off.
Certainly is amazing when players act as a team rather than a group of individuals. More have taken to helping engineers rebuild when they happen to be back at spawn. Pyros removing sappers... Things are better than they were.
This man is the greates Uncle. He gives good advices, always work for the sake of others, dont complain too much and always gives you both a good entertainment and a big smile :)
Hearing about the ping limit for uncletopia reminds me to thank you that it isn’t relentless with getting rid of people. I may sometimes get random spikes of really, really bad ping going up 1000 temporarily, but it always resets back to the good old 30. Thank you Uncle Dane for a fair ping limit, issuing warnings.
I haven't played TF2 in such a long time, Engie was always a class where I had so much fun playing. These last few videos have made me want to boot it up again for old times sake.
its so entirely useful to keep up the entrance even from someone who does nothing but sit there and destroy because as an engineer, you have your sentry or dispenser out on the front lines doing something at least. if they have to give up one player just to kill your entrance over and over again so that you sit there building it over and over again, you will always win the war since you at least have a passive thing out in the front lines doing something while the enemies have a guy who is really intent on killing a circle
@@shrekconfirmed5456 He actually clarified on Instagram that his twitter was suspended for a video using a snippet of a copyrighted song, and not the joke people are saying

He tweeted "Anyone wanna get molested?" four years ago and got mass reported. I imagine he'll be back up in a few days, assuming Twitter reads his appeal.
I like these kinds of videos. I've always been the type to just rush in, die, repeat the process it's quite helpful to be able to learn the process of playing this game. I might just try it again, thanks Dane
dude i would love to just listen to a 12 hour video of you just straight commentating with your own thought process over your tf2 plays like this video has just shown me how utterly entertaining it is to just hear you talk about what goes through your mind as you were playing, like i love this, heck yea man
This, right here, is actually why the Eureka Effect is my main wrench. I like putting funny sentries in places as much as the next engie, but it doesn't matter what gmaemode it is, having a teleporter in a useful location has no replacement. Even on last points, when the teleporter loses some of it's power, I often put an exit with no entrance somewhere important (right next to my sentry, hidden by a sentry-peeking sightline, the like) to punish people who pester my buildings. Even then, a lot of teleporters still hold high worth on maps like that, it's just far more difficult to keep them where you want them.
Hey just want to tell you that I really love watching your videos, whatever it may be (educational, weapons breakdown, or just ｍｅｍｅ) Keep uploading and thank you for the awesome content! ♥
Never have I ever felt that my brain has been expanding massively in 1 day, it is my most gratitude to those influencers that have been teaching me their ways on playing the games that I love.
Hey Uncle Dane, thanks for making these videos. I don't play engie myself, but I play pyro, and knowing how engie is played helps me better help my engineers in the field
Relevant tip for anyone who commonly finds themselves at spawn panicking to unsap a teleporter: Try to keep the homewrecker equipped on whatever your default pyro loadout is. Most times when an entrance is being sapped you aren't immediately on engineer and beside it; So you're going to run back to change class anyways and the difference between needing one or two swings by the time you get back can be what saves or destroys it. Plus the homewrecker tends to be a decent choice for pyro anyways, especially with the extra teleporter security making a move speed bonus less important.
The year is 20XX, and TF2's metagame is based solely upon TAS engineer. The entire competitive scene is dominated by the most optimized engineer setup possible, all the timings are perfect and the entire team killbinds to give the engineer metal.The only deciding factor in winning is the coin flip or rock paper scissors.
After I watched videos of you using the eureka effect for teleporters I discovered how frickin’ useful this wrench actually is so now I use it 24/7 lmao
Sometimes when playing defense I'll communicate to our engineer that I'll hang back and defend the teleporter so that he is freed to maintain his other buildings. Usually that's good enough to keep the teleporter up for the entire game, since people don't usually coordinate a push against a teleporter
Once on a Badwater i saw how a Demoman and a Quick-Fix Medic flew across the map, so i teleported to spawn, equipped Frontier Justice and Short Circuit, destroyed my sentry and greeted them with 3 crits Probably one of the most satisfying things i have done in TF2
I needed this. I just got some orange juice and I realized too late that it was the pulp free kind so here I am with a cup of gross, watered down tasting orange juice but at least I'll be able to watch some quality content
Nothing makes me more proud than when an friendly team member switches to engi just to removes a sapper from spawn tele Thank you for helping me to help you, help us all.

I don't take teleporters as pyro because the powerjack exists, and I don't really feel like I’ve earned it if i'm not using the homewrecker
