This is what our clan should be doing

I’ve signed up ClanSnap on this site ozfortress.com, the signup for scrims requires at least six of us. To do this we register on the ozfortress site then associate this new user with our clan.
- Our proposed available play timings are 8pm through midnight Thu – Sat
- It would be real nice if we could get more than the minimum six snappers, if only to make the match quota on any given match we agree to play.
- Grab your steam ID too, it’ll be needed to get the signup done right. (More info here)
- Search for the clan SNAP, then click the link on the right that says ‘join’
- They also host Mumble servers, for which we may have to login to during our nominated matches. (get the client here)
- FYI there are no divisions between n00bs and l33ts, so we are probably gonna get p0wned from time to time!
- I also read somewhere that ozfortress runs on +11 (Eastern Daylight Saving) ALL the time, so be prepared for Queensland Bumpkin confusion when organizing matches!
At WinterSmash 2011, SNAP came first…

… well the first of the losers at any rate. 
I apologise in advance for the brag post, but I felt the need to share some of what we got up to over the weekend.
The comp
With 12 teams in the running—LanSmash’s largest TF2 tournament to date—the SNAP 3v3 team were in for a challenge. Fumbles (Heavy), Shmitee (Medic) and Nakor/Tofu (Tag-teaming on Demoman) were out of practice and largely unfamiliar with arena mode and competitive play in general.
The team entered for a laugh, at best.
Rules of engagement
Arena mode, 3v3 teams, limit of one of each class, first team to 6 points wins the round.
Blow by blow
- In round 1, SNAP initially went down 3 points to 1, but managed to pull it back for a 6/5 victory.
- In the second round, the opponent scratched, so SNAP took an undeserved 6/0. Under the swiss format, this ‘big win’ meant the team would now face the toughest opponents.
- Round 3 saw the team again take an early beating, down 4 to 1, yet the Heavy/Medic combo worked hard to pull the score back to 5/5, and in match point, Demoman cliched the victory. (Video for this match embedded below)
- In the fourth round, SNAP suffered a crushing defeat 6/1 to the top seed ShadySux who would advance straight to the final match against the second ranked team.
- Tied for equal second with Failtrain, SNAP had to compete to determine which of them would enter the final. Again, the opponent gained the upper hand early on, and again SNAP were able to claw their way back to s****h win from the jaws of fail, final score 6/5.
- This meant that the FINAL became a rematch of SNAP vs ShadySux. Luckily the map Nucleus favoured SNAP’s close quarters style with ample opportunity for Fumbles’ signature ‘Drop Heavy’ attack. SNAP were even able to pull ahead to a 5/3 lead. Unfortunately, ShadySux were quick to adapt, turn the tables and take the win.
I’ve learned something today…
Firstly, frag_spawn and Rammy are great strategists. Their counsel was much appreciated and helped the team prep for coming rounds.
Also, TF2 is still a great game! And, competitive play is fun, who knew?
I’m definitely keen to feel the rush again, and if anyone else is interested, I think we should look for opportunities for scrimmage! (TF2 or even BCBF2). Who’s with me?

I realise that certain members have stated that they are “officially over TF2″. And I have to admit, it’s not been the same since the cheesy hats and silly runs. But I think it’s a great game and still very playable. And its never been cheaper, so tell your cheap friends.
Even if you’re not keen on tee-eff-too-ing in the near future, you have to admire the pinacle of creation, the classiest of classes. Meet the Medic!

Posted by tofu on June 4th, 2011 @ 16:57Been following Valve’s latest video contest? No SNAP entry this time (that I know of?), but lots of great submissions. This one is going to do well in a number of categories:
