My team has huge issues with pushing gran last to the point where it loses us games, and I was wondering if somebody could give us a run down of it - where we should be positioning ourselves especially.

Much appreciated.

when you attack last, this point is all about 2 thing in my opinion

1)you want you uber to stay active as long as possible, give your soldiers only a flick of uber. get one to jump into them and force them into a corner and get the other in a safer position(either of the pipes is fine) or try jump into any stray players who cant get saved by their uber. your demo should get the rest of the uber and just focus on pinning them in a corner and staying alive with your medic

2)your scouts HAVE to stay alive. this point is so open, it was built for scouts. if your scouts die before uber is over then theyre doing something wrong. once the uber is over, they want to focus on killing off any stray players who arnt pinned in the corner. they have to work together and with any soldiers who are still alive. if your medic is still alive, they should be playing off heals and just trying to out damage the enemy without over extending themselves. they are so much better at getting kills than soldiers are on this point.

secondary and scouts can almost afford to do nothing for 15 seconds before making their impact on the fight.

Scouts dying before uber for either the offense or defense is really bad. Consequently if you just use your uber to pop theirs and kill their scouts its actually really good. and you will win the repush (obviously this cant be premediated, uber can only do what if can given whos out of position for the defence)

• players dieing during the uber ?
• no calls on damaged or out of position targets ?
• heavies not ending safe after uber fade ?

If you find that the above isnt the main issue, then look at other reasons because it could just simply be your deathmatch isnt good enough yet.

What can you do to offset this? Look at other advantages you can get such as:

• uber: suiciding 2-4 players to force a pop or medic death, also look to pick the demo once med is taken care of since he is also a very important target
• player: if you lost a player during a 4th cp capture or suicided but didnt achieve anything then you can swap a player for a util and try picking some players
