Trick Jumping For Scouts in Team Fortress 2

I was planning on having an article written up for tricky spots a scout can go on key maps in TF2… but after seeing this video, I’m pretty sure my job has already been done by someone else!

EVGA’s Scouts ONLY TF2 Tournament

EVGA, one of my favorite video card companies, have organized a fun looking TF2 tournament. The tournament is basically a giant scout only Deathmatch on arena maps.

My first impressions… well, it’s going to be interesting!

Although I don’t really know how well the tournament is going to go, it seems promising. Hopefully they’ll be doing some testing beforehand to make sure all the stats are registering properly.

The gist of it? Just sign up, log on to the EVGA server and kill as many people as you can on Nov 1st.

The winner gets a brand new EVGA GTX 280 which is the only prize that is worth fighting for IMO.
I’d like to praise EVGA for throwing this tournament… it shows that they are really close to their customer base.

Go check out the tournament!
