My team [Suicide Squad: http://www.surfnetinc.com/spectre/[ss] ] rarely uses
teamplay unless:

There's more than a "few" of the other guys wearing tags.
The same guys above start teaming up.
There's more than a few of the guys talking smack.
There's the possibility that one [or more] of the guys are bots.
That we're asked to play in a match.

Otherwise, it's usually "FFA"

As for whether we were intentionally teaming up on him, I'd be a lair if I
said we weren't. And as for him getting the best of us or finding someone
better, I find that unlikely, even though I'd be more than willing to
believe that. Guys that play Q2 on a regular basis run a regular performance
in regards to their gameplay. I have yet to find anyone who's game is off
one min and on the next, only to be back off again 20 min later, then come
back unstoppable shortly there after. That kind of inconsistancy is what's
gotten my attention, nothing more.

But hey, the conversation has been good for making aquaintences. =)
