It’s that time of the year folks!

Another season comes to end as we reach the Grand Final of what has been an interesting and exciting number of weeks. From the red corner, unsurprisingly, Strong Opinions are back to defend their title as ‘The Best Highlander Team in Europe’ since Season 9. In the blue corner, their challengers are none other than Super Dickmann's KANNONEN!, by many regarded as the team with the skill and resolve to take the throne off the reigning champions.

BlackOut TV will be bringing you the action live from 21:15 CEST tonight, with jakeowaty and Honey Badger as the commentators, with Wiethoofd behind the camera.

The Grand Final of the High division is upon us!

Tonight the somewhat unexpected clash between CRAZYBWAII Clan and kiti s bakenbardami will leave us with a brand new team joining the ranks as winners of High!

In this matchup, two players by many regarded as the best Snipers in High will have all eyes turned towards them. Both morale and gdj have earned much fandom throughout Season 12, the two topping the charts on the Australian hitman. Can Yxxo‘s team of boys manage to restrict the lethal enemy Sniper? Or will  Pahan‘s strict leadership prevail?

Join Papa Carlos AKA CeeJaey and the man with the voice Beater in the BlackOut TV cast with Wiethoofd behind the camera at 20:15 CEST to find out!

This whitelist will not affect the Fresh Meat Challenge.

Over the past few weeks, leagues have been collecting feedback from polls or personal conversations (for Premier/Invite players) regarding potential Global Whitelist changes. With the collected opinions, administrators from around the globe came together and expressed their region/league’s opinion. The recent threads on teamfortress.tv as well as GentlemanJon’s survey results were also taken into account in our meeting.

The participating leagues in the meeting were ozfortress, ETF2L, ESEA and UGC.

Prior to the meeting, a preliminary list of the most contentious current weapons (see below) was compiled and the meeting was centred around that list. It was agreed that the meeting would be held in private, as the previous meeting in the TF.TV Discord amounted to essentially several hours of arguing resulting in whoever spoke the loudest having the greatest input. However, as we believe transparency to be essential when considering such changes, we have documented the discussions regarding each weapon below.
