It's no secret the only matches you won against me were at 10am on sat's and sundays :)
Oh btw., ofc there are good individuals that just suck in teambased matches, but when I remember the good guys around 2008-2010, every single one of them was good in ctf/tdm, too. A good individual player in RepCom usually was good in teambased matches, no doubt ...
EDIT:
Read my post again.This statement is not true. Ctf requires much more individual skill. In open maps the defender has to find the right mix of offensive and defensive in his positioning, as an attacker you have to work for a good situation to take the flag and then still the hardest part is not done - flag handling, and i dont mean flagrun but finding the right ways and killing your followers, is in my opionion the part of repcom which needs the most skill, especially in games with more ppl.
Maybe in maps as engine defending is not that hard but escaping in bigger games is.
I said it is enough when you know how to flagrun - which is true. You need to know when you have to grab the flag and when to drop, where to go, how to go, etc.
Even players like ... what was his name? This old RC-guy still playing in 2009, he was incredibly bad, but he knew ctf-tactics = he was doing really good against average-players but he lost hard against good players cuz he sucked at blaster/sniper/movement.
In 2009/2010 I solo-defended against two attackers like Avelyn + Star/Habbe and I mostly killed them, cuz It took me like 12 blaster-shots to kill an enemy (I had 72 ping back then), mostly first hit-headshotted with snip. Thanks to my skill concerning weapons.
Ofc it's the mix of weapon skill and tactical knowledge, but that tactical knowledge isn't too hard to learn, using weapons correctly is.
Btw. what argumentation is that regarding A17?
Excuses! It is THE 1on1 map. Nobody forces you to like this map or 1on1's in general, nobody said you are the worst player out there. But A17 represents individual skill 1:1.I blame the map even if i win because its total dazzling bs which hurts in your eyes and is badly made - am i the worst player out there now?
1on1's were so much more intensive in the good old days ... Skill-proving gamemode.
