'''koth_viaduct_pro5''' is the most recent version of koth_viaduct_pro, a competitive version of koth_viaduct, a stock TF2 map.

== History ==

Add history here

== Usage in competitive ==

koth_viaduct_pro5 is used commonly in both [[Highlander]] and [[6v6]]. This map is the most common King of the Hill map in [[6v6]], though other maps such as [[Coalplant]]/ [[Ashville]] are sometimes played.
This is one of the only maps where teams may run full time sniper because of the sightlines on the map. But another good choice is heavy to deny bombs.

'''CEVO''' (''Cyber Evolution'') is a professional gaming website, which hosts leagues for various games, such as Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Call of Duty, along with Team Fortress 2. It hosted multiple TF2 divisions in the past, including CEVO-Professional, before shutting down and reopening again in 2013.

== Format ==
CEVO 6v6 consists of a 8-week season, with two matches per week. The league currently hosts two divisions, [[CEVO-Open]] and [[CEVO-Main]]<ref>http://cevo.com/event/tf2-6v6/news/170/team-fortress-2-season-4-information-2-000-in-cash-prizes</ref>.

In October 2013, CEVO announced that Season 3 would feature an inaugural Main division for teams making the Open playoffs in Season 2<ref>http://cevo.com/event/tf2-6v6/news/77/team-fortress-2-6v6-season-2-information-850-in-cash-prizes</ref>, but this did not occur until season 4, due to poor community involvement.

In Season 2, CEVO hosted a Highlander league with a ruleset based off of the [[UGC#Format|UGC ruleset]]. Due to poor participation, the Highlander league was dropped for Season 3.

In June 2014, CEVO announced that CEVO Season 5 would feature the return of a [[CEVO-Professional]] division, and, for the first time in its history, a LAN playoff, to be held at TheGXL Universe in October 2014.<ref>http://cevo.com/news/232/cevo-announces-tf2-season-5-8-135-in-cash-prizes-register-today-/</ref>

CEVO Season 6 will not be taking place, as a result of low player turnout. <ref>http://teamfortress.tv/thread/20863/cevo-season-6-announced#22</ref>

'''United Gaming Clans''' (UGC) is a Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Fortress Forever and Team Fortress Classic League. UGC was founded in 2002 and has a solid history in Team Fortress Matchplay, hosting both [[6v6]] and 9v9 ([[Highlander]]) leagues. Along with one full season of [[4v4]] and plans for future seasons, to align with the other formats.

== Format ==
UGC runs three 6v6 and Highlander seasons a year, running alongside each other. The Spring season usually starts in January, the Summer season in June and the Fall season in September. The Spring and Fall seasons usually run for 12-14 weeks, with 8-10 weeks of regular season and 4 weeks of playoff brackets. The Summer season usually comprises of 8-10 regular season week with no playoffs or participation medals (usually deemed as the "fun" season) and comprising of a more experimental maplist than the standard Spring and Fall seasons.

During the regular season, teams are placed against teams with a similar win-loss ratio and matchpoint score for each week. Before playoffs begin, rosters are locked so no more players can be added and brackets are created from the current team rankings in the league. During playoffs, single- or double-elimination knock-out brackets (depending on the region/division) are used. Finals are in a best of 3 maps format.

Regular season matches are played on single maps, with two halves of 30 minutes. Depending on the game type, the win conditions differ:
* On [[5CP]] maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out, or one team wins 4 rounds; the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 5 rounds. In case of a tie after both halves, an overtime round is played, which is won by capturing all points once. If overtime is inconclusive, a "sudden death" round is played.
* On [[King of the Hill]] maps, the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 5 rounds;
* [[Attack/Defend]] and [[Payload]] maps are played as best of 3 [[stopwatch]] rounds. Teams alternate between attacking and defending every round, and each team defends once in a half.
* [[Capture the Flag]] are played over two halves, each 20 minutes long. The match ends once the time limit runs out or one of the teams reaches 10 total captures.

=== Highlander ===
UGC is not currently accepting sign-ups for its Highlander Season 12, as it started on 2nd Jan 2014. UGC runs three Highlander seasons each year: Spring, Summer and Fall. It currently has five different regions catered to for their Highlander league: North America (NA), Europe (EU), Asia, Australia/NZ and South America. There are also different skill-based divsions for the NA and EU leagues, with the latter three leagues not having enough participants as of yet to have more than one division and the EU lacking enough participants to create all five divisions. The NA divisions also have Steel and Iron split into Red and Blue factions due to a large amount of player participation.

Silver consists of people who are more skilled in tf2 however not nessarly acustom to the 4v4 format, as it is so new. Steel is for players with less experiance and also not nessarly acustom to the 4v4 format, as it is so new.

* '''Week 12 (Playoffs)''' - Best of 3 maps

=== Divisions ===
In the order of the highest skill division to the lowest:

* '''Platinum''' - Top tier. This division is for people considered to be at the top of their game. This division arguably requires the most time, dedication, coordination, and skill to compete in.
* '''Gold''' (NA only) - 2nd Tier. Competition gets more fierce. Those who have the time and dedication to practice 3-4+ scrims a week and the passion to get better belong here.
* '''Silver''' - 3rd Tier. This is for people who can list more than a couple seasons of experience and who are more committed to the upward path towards Gold/Platinum.
* '''Steel''' - 4th Tier. This is for people with a little competitive experience to people who have at a couple of seasons under their belt.
* '''Iron''' - Bottom Tier. Entry-level aimed at players with no prior competitive experience.

=== Divisions ===
In the order of the highest skill division to the lowest:

* '''Platinum''' - Top tier. This division is for people considered to be at the top of their game. This division arguably requires the most time, dedication, coordination, and skill to compete in.
* '''Gold''' (NA only) - 2nd Tier. Competition gets more fierce. Those who have the time and dedication to practice 3-4+ scrims a week and the passion to get better belong here.
* '''Silver''' - 3rd Tier. This is for people who can list more than a couple seasons of experience and who are more committed to the upward path towards Gold/Platinum.
* '''Steel''' - 4th Tier. This is for people with a little competitive experience to people who have at a couple of seasons under their belt.
* '''Iron''' - Bottom Tier. Entry-level aimed at players with no prior competitive experience.

Scout

2014-08-24T01:42:19Z

Lord ghetsis: /* Highlander */ removed CaC tips as it h

[[File:ScoutIcon.png|200px|right]]

A smack-talking Bostonian brat, the '''Scout''' boasts the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an impressive 133% movement speed make him extremely difficult to track down, and even to kill once he is found. The Scout carries a [[Scattergun]], which can deal tremendous damage to an opponent in close quarters. With such a high move speed, it isn't difficult to get close to people; the only trick is staying alive once at a close range. The Scout has only 125 base health, tied for the least out of all the classes along with the Engineer, Sniper and Spy.

==6v6==
{{main|Scout (6v6)}}

The Scout is a highly mobile "clean up" class, used to capture points and move in and out of fights to deal and avoid as much damage as possible. In standard 6v6 play, a team will have 2 Scouts. When playing this class, one will be expected to successfully capture points, control the flank, and be able to clean up the damage put out by heavy classes ([[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]]). Generally speaking, a Scout will have a high number of kills and a moderate amount of damage - diving in to kill already damaged players is the primary cause of this. Scouts are also often the best candidates for off-classing, depending on the situation. The secret to the Scout class is going into a fight and catching enemies unaware. The Scout is usually more expendable than the other classes, excluding the [[Roaming Soldier]].

Some teams like to assign roles to their scouts to keep everyone coordinated. Having a "passive" Scout and an "aggressive" Scout on the team keeps inexperienced players from getting out of position (either resulting in death from aggression or missed opportunities from passiveness). The "passive" Scout's job is roughly to protect the Demoman and help the Medic build Über when an opportunity arises. While he still wants to help out his fellow Scout on the flank and clean up damage, protecting the [[Demoman]] is his main objective. When there are stalemate situations in a match, the passive Scout is the one that will build the Medic's ÜberCharge using his [[Boston Basher]]. The aggressive Scout usually goes for kills and high damage on the flank. If a player is weak, he will chase that player down and kill him. The problem with this role-oriented approach is that when a Scout is smart enough to know when to be passive and when to be aggressive, it is more efficient for him to switch roles when a situation calls for it, rather than getting stuck in a mindset that can be very detrimental to his team. Most high-level teams avoid this passive versus aggressive assignment system, but it can help teams that lack the coordination and game sense.

==Highlander==
{{main|Scout (Highlander)}}
The Scout's role is severely diminished in Highlander, as his fragging capabilities are limited by full-time high-damage per second classes, such as the Heavy or the Engineer. Because of that, the Scout is often more of an utility class, helping the team by being on the flank, capturing points and objectives and sometimes following up on damage dealt by the combo. A scout can also be used to focus classes which can cause large problems for your team, such as sniper. Most Payload and Attack/Defend maps can greatly limit the Scout's usefulness due to their tendency to clump everyone together, but on certain koth maps, a good scout can score a high amount of points due to a large amount of flanking routes which are available.

Highlander leagues allow a greater variety of scout unlocks than 6v6 leagues do, which allows for interesting strategies with unlocks like Mad Milk and Bonk! Atomic Punch. The scout's role can be enhanced by any of these, leading to a more supportive class that splashed Milk during pushes, or a pick/harassment class that runs to enemy spawn with Bonk! As long as the Scout plays smart and stays alive, opportunities to flank and to fight directly come up just like in 6v6.

Demoman (Highlander)

2014-08-19T12:25:19Z

Lord ghetsis: /* Unlockable weapons */ spelling errors, yo

In Highlander, the '''Demoman''''s main job is dealing high amounts of damage. His weapons are great at dishing out large amounts of damage to crowds of players and slow, high HP targets. However he lacks the ability to reliably protect himself from close range threats (most often from the Scout), so he is often paired up with the Heavy and Medic to form the core of a Highlander team. He serves a similar role to his 6's counterpart of dealing damage and leading up uber pushes, but he is also expected to deal with sentry nests.

== Gameplay ==
The Demoman is most traditionally part of the Highlander Combo, alongside the Medic, Heavy, and sometimes Pyro. When using the Ubercharge he will often lead the push. Depending on the situation, the Demoman may share the Uber with another class, or just take the whole Uber. In a defensive situation, a team may forgo a Demoman Uber in favor of keeping the Pyro and Heavy alive to slow down a push. If the Medic is using the Kritzkrieg, the Demoman is nearly always the primary recipient. A common practice is "Sticky Sniping", which has a Demoman charge up a sticky bomb, then taking the Kritz right before shooting the sticky into a crowd. If done correctly, the critical sticky will catch the enemy team off guard and secure a few picks or an Uber drop.

Stickybomb traps, while not as useful as in less-organized formats, do provide the Demoman with an Area Denial and Picking tool. However, due to the the number of Area Denial and Picking classes that are always present in a Highlander game, this mechanic is not as useful as in 6v6. Sticky jumping however, is still a very potent tool for the Highlander Demoman. It allows the class to quickly respond to threats, act quickly off of advantages, and cover distance much faster than a majority of classes on the field.

== Unlockable weapons ==
As the Demoman's stock weapons are one of the most powerful among all the weapons in TF2, Demomen rarely deviate from the stock loadouts. Alternate options are often not as good and lower the Demoman's damage capability; the Loch'n'Load projectiles dish out more damage than normal grenades, but it has only two grenades in a clip, and the Scottish Resistance's prolonged sticky activation time make it hard to use the stickies in an attacking fashion. A notable exception is the Pain Train, which doubles the Demoman's capturing speed, which allows for a more aggressive playstyle.

Some teams and players have experimented with playing Demoknight, which refers to playing Demoman with one of the shields (the Chargin' Targe, the Splendid Screen or the Tide Turner) equipped in place of his Sticky Launcher. This strategy is reliant on using a turning script that allows a charging Demoknight to turn at a greater rate than what the game normally allows. However, the Tide Turner doesn't need a turn script and refills its charge meter on kill, making it a popular choice for competitive Demoknights. The Demoknight results in a playstyle similar to a Roamer, which is centered around getting key picks. This playstyle has not yet been proven to be an effective alternative to stock Demoman, because of stock Demoman's versatility.
