Apologies for the double post but are there any recommend videos/players to watch bar the 8) series?

Old, but still quite good. Emphasizes more on the play and tactics then the actual frags.
Make sure you have a mic. This game is 75% communication.
On comms – set to push to talk (no one likes to hear your spastic hands hitting your keyboard+heavy breathing), ONLY use for calling enemy positions (one guy in a team is usually the main caller. He will say the overall team tactics, like telling everyone when to push or fall out of an area. You shouldn’t clutter the comms or confuse people by calling opposite things to him).
Good calls are quick and clear, for instance if you saw a scout jumping to the balcony on badlands, you would just shout “scout balc”. Try and keep down useless stuff, everyone needs to concentrate.
Listen.
Aim: go to DM servers. Play for 5 years.
If you’re playing scout your main role is just holding areas until a push is called + keeping track of their scouts. If a scout gets past your area to your medic and kills him, it’s not the soldiers fault, its yours.
Play more pickups, try and join a team.

Thanks. Yeah I know about the mic bit, trying to get sorted as soon as possible. Haha, my 5 years deathmatch aim practice begins:D

As I say though, theres really nothing to learn from any of them, its just a pure show of skill (on the part of editors and players).
Thanks for those videos, I’ll watch them and I guess you’re right but you do learn bits and pieces.
And I am really impressed that this topic actually got any replies, never mind helpful ones. Thanks guys!

tf2 is not about frags or killing people in general; who disagrees is usually an awful player in terms of decisioning

I realise this but I asked for videos as they do give an insight to positioning for a newer player
If you are interested in learning positioning and such I don’t recommend watching fragvids. Download some demos from some real matches instead and spectate using sourceTV.
You can get a lot of demos from here. Get some where teams in some higher divisions play.

Yeah, that’s why I asked for player names I should watch.

that isn’t strictly true though, is it? doesn’t matter how good your positioning is if you can’t fucking kill anything… :D
you’re right to an extent obviously, there has been a number of players that never made it to D1 despite having pretty good aim because they just don’t understand how to play the game the way the rest of the top players do
I always liked nubonamission’s tf2 blog. Prolly the best site if you play scout and want to improve :)
