This will be the prem debut for the entire nunya team, whereas Arctic Foxes is filled with players such as the uber-accomplished prem veteran schocky, who has more games in Premiership than the other 11 players in this matchup combined. Pairing up with him on scout is ZYKAZ, one of the best players in high last season, if not the best, and a mechanically strong/ultiduo nerd medic in Raptor, who has dabbled in premiership before. This lineup looks like a team to beat going into the season, and it’ll be difficult to justify not achieving playoffs. Making a strong start here could set the tone for their whole season.

nunya, however, is a completely unknown quantity, but they should be respectable after coming through the playoffs in two straight wins, including besting WARHURYEAH and lippy, both long-standing premiership talent. They should not be underestimated, and could be a one to watch in the season to come.

Season 11 is slowly drawing to a close, which can only mean one thing…..FINALS BOYS! Tonight we have Tourettes Chessclub vs. Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! in a face off in the Lower Bracket final where the winner will progress to the Grand Final to play Strong Opinions while the loser will walk away with a meek 3rd place earned. During the season, Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! drew with Tourettes Chessclub in Week 6 with Product and Warmtic up for grabs while in Round 1 of playoffs, Tourettes Chessclub jumped out in front for an early lead with a 6-3 victory after a 3-map battle on Coalplant, Product & Gullywash with Super Dickmann's KANNONEN!. Tonight though will reveal the true colours of either side as this Best Of 3 match will decide who gets to leap for a chance at glory and who ends up with the classic egg-on-vest to take home. Tune in at 21:00 CET on BlackOut TV with sigafoo, OriginalVipa & Jon to find out!

Most things have to come to an end and so it is time for me to end my reign over ETF2L. It has been over five years since I decided I wanted to become an admin and the motivation and passion that once fueled this decision slowly but steadily faded away over the last year or so. I did not think it would come to this, as my initial plan was to just be there until the end, but priorities are changing over time. There is not enough interest and motivation left in me to justify being in charge of this league any longer. Half assing something I spent so much time and effort in to build and see it not progressing because I am unable to commit enough time just does not sit right with me. Therefore, the time has come for me to let go and give others a chance.
Effective immediately Aoshi and DCS are promoted to Head Administrators of ETF2L. I will stop being an executive member of the admin team all together. This is a decision that was made back in December and it was prepared ever since then. So this is no hasty or sudden change, instead both of my successors have been briefed and prepared ever since then to guarantee a smooth transition. After all I will continue to be around in a mediating or advising role if needed and requested.
I am grateful for the experiences I was able to gather and the people I was able to meet, play and work with in this time. Ahead of all others I want to mention IPZIE and smziii who I count among of my best friends. Also a big shout-out to everyone who ever contributed, is still contributing or will contribute in the future to the competitive TF2 scene, after all we are a self-sustained community driven scene that held on to this point without any major external support.
My role within ETF2L may come to an end here, but I am sure the competitive scene will continue to advance without me.

Season 26 powered by Tt eSPORTS: Provisional Tiers

In case you do not find your team in this list, you were likely removed because you had between 1 and 5 players, in this case you have to gather 6 players in your roster and sign up for Season 26 again or you changed your name during signup process, just check for an old team name. We will try and get as many teams into the season as possible before week 1 starts. This is also a reminder that we will leave the signups open until the start of week 3 for late signups.

On Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd, the first major international LAN on American soil will be played, at the eSports Arena in California. Representing Europe is the legendary Se7en, who will be looking to be the first TF2 team to be crowned world champions twice in the space of a year. They are the same core as the Crowns team that conquered i58 only a few months ago, with the inclusions of Thalash (as per season 25), alle and amppis. With the Street Hoops team of NA recently weakened, with star demoman Duwatna out with appendicitis, can se7en and Jasmine Tea ensure #thirdplaceb4nny and a non-NA final at an NA LAN? Or will we see the FROYO – se7en Grand final people have been anticipating since 2015? Familiar faces and new for European fans await, and eternal bragging rights could be won for EU with victory at this huge LAN. Tune in to eSportsArena to watch all the action go down with the best talent, both in-game and out of it, that TF2 has to offer. This could be emotional – the tournament will not disappoint.

The first match will be Jasmine Tea vs Meat Market at 19:00 CET, closely followed two hours later with se7en’s first game, against NA fan’s favorite team, Street Hoops eSports. Tune in for this historic LAN to tell the gaming world, from the main stage, that WE ARE HERE.
