    Fascinating! I should probably tell you that I did a little recording myself and got a bit of the match from our perspective:

    Aight guys:

    http://tf2media.finalmeasure.com/PAvsEADemos.tar.gz

    Contained therein are the raw demo files for the gravelpit and the goldrush games. I just realized that we kinda called Goldrush a little early, and we should have at least played one more attack for our team. I'm sorry that was my mistake due to incorrect math in my head. I broke my toe about an hour before the match so I wasn't thinking all that clearly. That's a nice thing about TF2 though, it's a lot easier to play through the pain when you don't have to actually do any running. ;-)

    An explanation about the timer: It's Valve's attempt to make tournaments able to move a little faster. If Team A scores 2 points in 10 minutes, then Team B needs to either score 2 points in less than 10 minutes, or more than 2 points in general. If either of those two conditions are met, then Team B is the "winner", otherwise it goes to team A. This way one "round" in tournament mode is actually one attack and one defense. It provides a more elegant way to determine a "winner" in attack/defense maps than just collecting points in an arbitrary number of rounds.

    EDIT: That being said, it looks like it wasn't agreed on its usage, so I disabled it for half the rounds. Next time we'll make sure to explain it to everyone before hand to see if everybody is happy with it.

    First: Don't use demoui (it's broken in TF2).

    Open the archive with your favorite archive utility (I recommend WinRAR or 7Zip for those of you on Windows), and extract the two .dem files. Unzip them somewhere easy to remember (like C:\) and then start up TF2. Open the developer's console by hitting the ~ key. If it doesn't open, ensure that "Enable developer console" is checked under "Options" > "Keyboard" > "Advanced...". Type playdemo "C:\demoname.dem" substituting the demo name, of course. You can then view the demo as if you were a spectator in game.

    Enjoy.

    EDIT: I'll hopefully be replacing these with the edited versions that only have the actual match eventually.

    Haha It's kind of embarrassing how you can hear their teamspeak on that demo. "They're just a bunch of uber whores!" No offense taken of course.

    It's funny how both teams were always saying that the other team blew their ubers prematurely.

    A lot of their bitching seemed to be about our scouts and Propscience sniping. So even though you thought you sucked Prop I guess you didn't.

    Vimeo streaming of my demo.

    edit: It's kind of long so here's the highlights:
    4:58. Saw kill, stupid demo.
    6:23. (30sec) Handsome Costanza getting sniped. For some reason the sniper thought it was smarter to hit a heavy instead of the 2 medics healing him.
    7:55. Amazing double uber, saving both the heavy(handsome) and a pyro(jonxp)with no health at the last second. Finished off with a SAW assist.
    10:35. Uber gone kind of wrong, I try saving everyone, and end up by myself. It's okay, I get yet another saw kill.
    11:27. Medics are MVP's. Because we are that awesome.
    13:52. Beat EvAv's time with 1 second on the clock.
    15:18. Handsome Costanza professing his undying love to the sexiness of our medic skillzzzz.
    17:42. Another uber on Handsome Costanza. By this point it's getting sad.
    20:20. Me doing a stupid saw kill. After I did it Luny was like "SMASH. CMOOOONNN"
    23:09. Handsome Costanza yet again, this time losing about 24000 health, and having it healed back. Finishes off with a very relieving, "JESUS."
    End. Medics hit MVP again.

    Hey, to be fair, a lot of the Übers I saw were activated when I was alone, charging a medic and a soldier/pyro with a machete or something similar. If that's not a vote of no confidence in survivability I don't know what is :P

    And why do you guys keep typing Propscience when it's clearly Prospiscience? Also I swear I totally probably pronounced it right. I hope I didn't sound like a jerk! :winky:

    it is actually neither way, it is Prospicience.....which i heard some people on your team pronouncing correctly (not sure if you were one of them)....most people in PA pronounce it incorrectly though, meh, it's a long word....it can be found here

    Considering people manage to mispronounce my name, I think you'd lose out either way. Usually I just call you Prosp because my ability to type big words apparently doesn't let me pronounce the damn things.

    Anyway, good stuff in those demos. Still confirms to me that ubers are the backbone of any game- they're the stalemate-breakers, and probably the only tactic/action in TF2 that're an absolute requirement to progress. That irks me for some reason.

    A requirement beyond clicking your mouse to shoot at shit, of course. That's one tactic that's a given.

    I just always said "Pros" when we played together in the tournament. He seemed to be responsive to that. Great work yesterday by the way too and with the sprays man.
