WinterSpider's "Sorcerer's Stone vs Philosopher's Stone" Edges:

Scout- He's dead plain and simple. Sure he's fast, but he's not very well built and only has one weapon that would be good for survival against the dead, his scattergun. Once he runs out of ammo though, he'll be up the creek. His double jump may be able to keep him alive for a bit, but not long. DEAD

Soldier- The Soldier has a good arsenal to keep himself going during this battle. Rockets and a shotgun? He'll be fine. Pair that with an attitude for destruction, and he'll be able to keep himself alive. LIVES

Pyro- As much as I appreciate a flamethrower,it won't help Pyro that much here. Against the undead, it'll be a slow moving and ineffective weapon. The only thing that would help him would be the fire axe, and even then he could be easily overwhelmed. DEAD

Demoman- With a strong emphasis on explosives, Demoman will clear the way and provide a path for the others to follow him. The only drawback being a too high yield of explosives could cause collateral damage, but I figure these guys will be okay. LIVES

Heavy- Two words: Mini. Gun. That's all I need to say, but for the sake of a vote I'll elaborate. The sheer firepower and speed at which it can be delivered will guarantee Heavy's survival. Even then, his strength will help him and his team live to fight another day. LIVES

Engineer- This one can go either way, tbh honest. On the one hand his building of defensive and offensive turrets would certainly be able to keep the undead at bay. On the other it could be difficult for him to keep up with the others. However, the others could be aware of this fact and be willing to make him a protected asset. So I'm gonna lean on survives. LIVES

Medic- Another case like the Engineer. He would be a useful asset to the group, so they'd want him to keep him alive. However he would have lower offensive capabilities. But overall, I'm going to lean towards him survivng, if only for the fact that he'd have a lot to give to the team, and thus they'd keep him safe as priority. LIVES

Sniper- Look, I like Sniper, you like Sniper, everyone likes Sniper. But he's a bit out of his depths here. A sniper rifle is a long range weapon, and unless he can find a sniper's nest to barricade himself in, he's gonna have a hard time. DIES

Spy- Spy will survive if for only one reason. Despit his lack of arsenal, he will look out for number one the entire time. Maybe come out and stab an undead in the face or something, but other than that he'll play it cool and keep his head down. LIVES

Verdict- With a final score of 6-3, the Red team will take this victory and will mostly live to fight another day.
