Current playing status: semi-active

I mostly play MvM these days. Although I'm a Heavy main (and Soldier second-main) in both PvP and MvM, I'm usually also quite comfortable playing Scout, Pyro, Demo, and Engi too in MvM, depending on what role the team needs filled.

I'm sorry if I've ever let you down in a game. I've been trying to improve myself constantly during the times that I have been playing TF2 , but there inevitably have been and will be times where I, well... lose myself.

Still, I do take MvM quite seriously, and with the Gas Passer issue having finally forced me to realize the gravity of what Valve has been doing to MvM, I set myself some guidelines to help myself improve at the gamemode without relying on crutches:

[list]
[*] NEVER USE EXPLODE-ON-IGNITE (and I also try to discourage others from using the Gas Passer as often as possible on Valve servers) - it does far too much for only $400 and basically no skill on the Pyro's part, and it also covers two of Pyro's biggest weaknesses (mid-to-long-range damage and killing Uber Medics) with little to no tradeoff for using it, on a class that's already very powerful if you actually know how to play him
[*]i'll add the others later okay stfu i'm lazy
[/list]

I'm a 26-year-old (b-day: 2nd Sept) Eurasian guy. I've played TF2 off-and-on since around 2012. Since 2014, MvM has remained my favorite gamemode by a long shot, and it's among the biggest reasons why I miss TF2 when I'm not playing it.

I took an extended break from TF2 in August 2022 after finally losing patience with several things about the game, including its unbearably (at the time) toxic community and the cheater-bot crisis. I finally decided to pick up the game again in October 2024. Feels good to be back.

In October 2024, I finally got a degree: a BEng in Electrical Power Engineering. it's only a Pass degree without Honours in a sea of Honours degrees but whatever Although I've picked up TF2 again as of that same month, I'm not sure how much time I'll have for it now.

My brother Neil also used to play TF2 and make SFM posters on this account, but owing to the despicable lack of respect he's received for his work and the toxic community, he has retired from SFM and no longer uses this account. Appreciate his effort.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
