== 6v6 Demoman ==
 
In 6v6, Demoman holds the primary role of dealing initial damage and crowd control. He makes sure the enemy never pushes into his team without taking damage and uses his spamming abilities to funnel the enemy team so they can be cleaned up by his teammates. He is also essential for defending as his sticky traps can net him easy kills and force the enemy to retreat, and his pill spam can easy chunk the enemy teams health if they are careless with their positioning. Demoman is considered one of the harder roles in 6's due to his lack of mobility, causing him to have to consider his positioning carefully if he wishes to both not die quickly in a fight and still do substantial damage to the enemy.

== Mid Fights ==
Compared to all the other 6v6 classes, the Demoman's role has a big impact on the conclusion of the mid fight. It usually is the class that deals the initial damage, and whose damage can affect the whole middle fight. Who the Demoman focuses at the beginning of the middle fight is usually the [[Scout]]s and the other team's Demoman. On many maps, the demoman can arrive at the middle before even the scouts. As such, a demoman is the player who will lead the initial attack. He should focus on killing the enemy demoman, or, if the demoman's team's scouts can kill the enemy demoman, then he should simply spam the enemy with both grenades and stickies.

== Rollouts ==
[[Glossary#Rollout|Rollouts]] are an important aspect of a Demoman's play, and they usually have a big effect on the outcome of the midfight. Usually, the first Demoman that gets to mid and deals initial damage to the other Demoman and/or Scouts gains positional and heal advantages for his team. Practicing rollouts is essential for a Demoman as it comes down to muscle memory. Demoman rollouts are also usually very punishing and demanding as a simple mistake can completely ruin a team's mid fight and strategy, therefore it is also advised to have a backup rollout plan if something happens.

===The Pocket Demoman===
 
Pocket Demo is a powerful playstyle adopted by a few teams (Epsilon with Numlocked & WARHURYEAH, TLR with HYS).  The style is mainly done by having a Demoman being the focus point of most pushes, the style is becoming more prominent as more and more teams are adopting a dual gunboats style (see i52), this is to create a more aggressive and in your face style from the soldiers as they have a more reliable escape. This creates a lot of space for the Demoman to follow up on aggression unhindered. Along with a pocket Demoman most teams will then have a passive scout in support.
