For my first bit of analysis I decided I would take a look at the map that 9/10 medics say is their least favourite map. I mean don't get me wrong I understand why they say this but at the same time this map is the one that separates the amazing medics from the good medics in my books. This map throws everything and the kitchen sink at you as medic and you NEED to be able to keep cool under pressure. One uber drop, one pocket drop, hell even not buffing your scouts and the round is blown. Things can snowball easy and you might find that a lost round turns into a lost game very quickly.
It's the map that frustrates teams beyond compare because it actually takes, dare I say.. a LITTLE more strategy than usual?
You know who the puppet master who's pulling all those strategical strings? The medic.
I decided I was going to watch every invite gravelpit match from every single medics perspective and show off what I like to call a few 'power plays.' In the end almost every power play was from the Flow and Quantic match. I'd been looking forward to this match for a while.
Now I'm not saying every other medic is bad.. it's just a lot of them looked confused on this map. Actually the ducks and br0 match was the most entertaining. Mesr made no mistakes but was boring to watch (not a bad thing) and on the other side thrill would make a big play, but then counteract it with a bit off positioning followed by him dying. Every time I tried to take a highlight from something he did well, 10 seconds later he would die. This may not be his fault either, I can't hear the comms.
Again though, no medics played horribly.. some just seemed a bit boggled.
With this I present to you a little something I made, featuring some 'power plays' that PYYYOUR and SHADE cooked up. I realize that to a non-medic some of this may seem arbitrary.. run of the mill boring stuff but to any of you that have played medic in the past... and well hell anyone really, I hope you enjoy.
