User blog comment:J80Kar/Comedy Battle: The Blood Gulch Squads (RvB) vs RED Team (TF2)/@comment-143604-20120915204136

I'd have to give my vote to the RED Team. They work much better as a team overall- they're used to relying on each other and working in tandem to get the job done at maximum effeciency, while the Blood Gulch Squads are mortal enemies who spend more time fighting each other than helping each other, and even when they are helping each other they don't exactly trust each other, and some of them still plot to hurt or kill the others. Most of the Blood Gulch squad is fairly ineffective at actual combat- Griff, Caboose, Tucker and Doc are nearly useless in a fight, while Sarge is too blinded by his hatred of the Blues to be all that effective, leaving the Blood Gulch team with Simmons, Church, Lopez and Tex to pull all of the slack. Out of those, the only one who is a truly exceptional fighter is Tex, and she alone won't be enough. On the other side of the fence, the only member of RED Team who doesn't provide a major asset to the offense is the Medic, and with his healing abilities that allow him to constantly provide additional protection and overpower his allies around him make him a far more useful medic than Doc. The REDs can easily set up a powerful defensive structure with the Engineer's sentry and the others teamwork, while the Heavy and Medic combo will make an iron wall that the Blood Gulch teams will have a difficult time overcoming, and The Spy's brilliance, disguise skills and devious mind will allow him to easily prey on the obvious weakness of the Blood Gulch squad's distrust of each other, and he could single handedly drive the Reds and Blues to start shooting at each other. Overall, the Blood Gulch team is made up of too many comedy characters who aren't that good in a fight, they don't work together well enough and their tech isn't so superior that the much greater teamwork, synergy and specializations/diversity of the RED team can't overcome them. The REDs should take this with a fairly large number of their team intact.
