Lately, all I've been doing is interviews, I miss writing...

This is my first shot at an actual blog entry, so please don't just spam y4 bl0w, please provide details on why i bl0w.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the names of the skill levels, it just haven't been updated for almost a year now. The new players in comp have no idea what a gather is or who the hell is frozenshift. That post was pretty much a joke post that turned into the tf2 skill bible. So I'm not here to rewrite the bible, just going to update it a little bit, make it seem more official. Some of the things I'm going to copy from JK, some I'm going to add/change. Going into the writeup, here were the things I wanted to alter a little from jk's skill levels:

- Expand the lower skills by making the "mid" level a little bit easier to claim. It is ridiculous how there are under 100 players that are mid/high to high, while there are over 500 players who are low or low/mid. We need to find a better way to differentiate the lower players.

- I added the Mid+ skill level. There is only a SMALL difference between Mid+ and Mid/High. The Mid+ teams are the guys who are too modest to say they are mid/high or are afraid they might get ridiculed. If I had the choice, I would combine the two skill levels...but you know the TF2 community and their hatred for change, let's just leave the Mid+ around.

- Changed Mid/Low to Mid- to keep consistency with Mid+. Also, I've never seen a team say they are high/mid. So there shouldn't be a level called mid/low as well.

- I have tried to make this a little bit more objective. jk's post was filled with inside jokes. I just want to state some points and try to make it clear which skill level you and your team should list as.

- I have added an "advice" section for some of the skill levels, just my opinion on how you can move up to the next level.

Again, this is not a bible. But I hope it will clear up some of the debates about certain teams and players and what skill levels they claim to be.

A few weeks ago, I made a NA demo roundtable with some of the top demos in the game. However, I got a lot of people wondering what the answers would have been like if I asked a few demos from across the pond. I also thought it would be interesting. So with the help of cMw, I gathered some of the best euro demos in the game and asked them pretty much the same questions. I mentioned about the two major styles of demos in NA, the aggro/high damage output demos and the defensive, sticky trapping, flank watching demos. Do the Euros have a different type of demo? Will their mentality be like what a pocket soldier would have in NA? Or are they just aggro demos that get more heals than the sollies? Read on and we'll find out together in this remix edition of the demoman roundtable, euro remix...I assume its more techno sounding, probably something related to Gunther.

Again, special thanks to cMw for helping me contact the players and gather the questions.

Hayyy vloggg, thank you for meeting with me and answering a few questions about the class that you play so well.

First off, please introduce yourselves, your experience in competitive, and what team you are currently playing for.

Bash: Hi, I'm Bash, I've been playing competitive TF2 for little under 2 years now, a little over a year of that spent in top div1 teams. The notable bits of my team history are wotr/4Kings, the original Power Gaming and now What Women Want or whatever terrible name we go by at the time this comes out.

Byte: Hi there, I’m Byte-me aka Byte. I’ve been playing competitive TF2 for over 2 years now. My main class is demoman, however I like to believe I can play other classes as well at a decent level, them being scout/soldier/medic and heavy. I’ve only been in 3 clans in my TF2 ‘career. ^wotr^ aka TCM| (the original) then I took a gap season out and helped [FB] then I paddled along to YYT| aka TCM|. Luckily I’ve always played at the top level from the very beginning.

Extremer: Hi, I'm Extremer and I currently play for I Don't Know? which I've been a member of for over a year. TF2 was my first competitive game. I started playing it back in December 2007 but I didn't get into the competitive side until like the 3rd season of ETF2L (about 10 months later) where I started playing in Division 4 and worked my way to the top.

m0re: Hi, I'm m0re from blight gaming. I started tf2 with some of my old qwtf friends and we were instantly seeded to division2 which we ended up winning. After that i've played in a few teams d1/d2 level and had fairly ok results.
