I don't like yank tf2 much but in their defense that link is extremely old. I'm pretty sure they registered here so you can get mentored for free. Good joke though :D

About what?  The top US side beating a div 2 team?  Brilliant.  Not even being sarcastic in the slightest.  And yes there was the ping issue which ofcourse makes it horrible for the Americans, mainly the soldiers, but still, it wasn't exactly the top teams from either continent, no offense to Illegal but you guys aren't the best in Europe.

So what words exactly are people meant to eat?]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[If you've ever played with 120hz for a year or two then suddenly switch back to 60hz, its unbearable and especially if you have to play like 4hours+ a day. I dont watch many demos, but some na invite level teams are beginning to use a gunboats soldier to give the pocket more hp and I guess demo as well. As far as map choices go, I'm just glad we don't have to play freight and well :p]]></description>

From what I have seen lower divs have been running aggressive soldiers for quite some time. Of course some teams rely heavily on their demo however not every team has that luxury and thus you see dominant soldiers quite a lot.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[<i>Quoted from AcidReniX</i>
		<blockquote>The scenes have got a lot closer recently.

Euro soldiers are stepping it up and teams are becoming less dependent on the demoman.
US demomen are getting better and their medics are realising they can tag up with them.

^^ That all goes for the top teams at least, it's filtered down a lot further in recent months, and hopefully it will filter down to low div 2 / 3 and the US equivilent in the near future.</blockquote>

Yeah definitely agree with this. Rather than rely on one class all the time, nowadays both the euro and NA top teams just go with whatever class goes best in any particular situation; be it soldier, demo or scout.

Previously in the NA scene, the mvps for most of the top teams were soldiers (reptile for eg, seagull for blight, yaug for xen etc) save for coL who had scouts as their best players. Now you can look at a team like fanom where anyone can arguably be their mvp and are similar in skill (ww, tlr, Ruwin, Orzo all beasts). 

Take a team like eMg, previously they mainly depended on mackey rjing onto the opposing medic while tyrone held the fort. In this season, yz50 has been doing the carrying while the rest of the team failed. Soldiers have been far less dominant in the NA scene despite how well harbleu and mesr did coming straight from open, and I'm sure Fragga will have something to say about that so I'll stop.]]></description>
