BLU's architectural style

The Builders League United is a holding corporation supposedly specializing in construction operations. In reality, from behind a myriad of sub-fronts, it secretly controls half the world's governments, led by founder and CEO Blutarch Mann. Beneath the convincing exterior of their bases of operations can be found computer racks, satellites, rockets and missile installations.

The other half of the world is just as secretly controlled by their rivals, Reliable Excavation Demolition. Each corporation administers its half of the world with a multi-disciplined army of paper pushers. For any problem lacking an obvious bureaucratic solution, mercenaries are contracted to address the situation through a massive application of force. Conflicts between the two companies began as land disputes between their leaders and continue through hundreds of years to present day.

BLU and RED share an intense rivalry, with nearly all encounters between the two quickly escalating into brutal and often fatal violence. Inter-company friendship is also strictly forbidden by mercenary contract. Despite this, the BLU Soldier and the RED Demoman became fast friends after meeting at a projectile weapons expo. However, once this was brought to the attention of the Administrator, she pitted them in deadly competition with a mysterious new item promised to the winner, twisting their former friendship into a bloody war.

BLU favors a more industrial style of architecture than RED, and while its dress code is rather liberal in terms of clothing, it is required that employees adopt a blue color scheme for easy identification.

Trivia

  • Valve has often depicted players using Macs as the BLU team, as in the Mac update trailer. This is probably due to the lighter color scheme of the team and their more streamlined style of buildings.
  • BLU team is most often the attacking team in Attack/Defend, or Payload maps.
  • BLU team mostly builds their bases out of metal and stone.
