Results of Pubs Vs Pro, video link included!

TGBF.tv has posted the footage of the Pubs Vs Pros Winter Wastland which is a fasinating watch. It's amzing to see how the pros use their techniques to overcome their opponents. If you want to become a better player, it's very important to see what the pros do. Watch replays of team matchs to get an idea of group strategy.

At the moment, I'm not in a team. So this is a shout out, I'd love to join a competitive TF2 team, with friendly members. Drop me a line if you need an extra member! I've played competitively for a few FPS's previously, so I have some experience!

TF2 Pub vs Pro, Christmas and Shopping

On the official site, they seem to be having a pub vs pro event where players in the public take on a team of professional TF2 players. I was wondering what the skill differences are going to be, and if anyone here plays professionally?

I completely missed the Christmas event, unfortunately. My desktop for gaming has decided to die, so I've been left TF2-less for about a month or two now. I'd like to hear some stories of what happened at Christmas, and what new items were found...

ALSO, I want a poll of opinions on the TF2 item store. I know many people stopped playing when they introduced it, but I also know of a few people who use it to buy the weapons they want for their class. I personally don't have any strong feelings about it, I can see how it'd be useful and also how it's an easy way of Valve to make their pockets a bit heavier...
