Season 25 powered by Tt eSPORTS: Provisional Tiers

184 teams managed to successfully sign up for Season 25. Those teams can be found in the following 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 25 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 during week 1 for late signups.

Provisional Tiers

These Provisional Tiers are very close to being the final tiers for Season 25. We will only consider making changes to your team’s placement if you can provide striking arguments with supporting screenshots.

If you have not done so already also submit your Preferred days and times for your week 1 fixtures. Teams will be paired on Saturday 23:59, so make sure to do it before.

To submit your availability go to Dashboard > My Teams > Edit Availability. Please also note to submit the time frame in a 24h format, otherwise it will not work (e.g. 20:00 instead of 08:00 p.m.).

When?

The event starts this Friday the 16th of September at 18 CEST and will run for 3 days over on twitch.com/tipofthehats. You can find a schedule, guest appearances and more over on their site tipofthehats.org. So get your favorite snack and drink ready for an awesome weekend filled with Team Fortress 2 while kicking cancer’s ass in the meantime. If you can’t contain your excitement you can check previous years events over on their Youtube channel.

Note* If you want to calculate over the schedule to CEST then you have to add 7 hours. So 3 PM turns into 10 PM.

What is Tip of the Hats?

Tip of the Hats is a charity event hosted and supported by members of the Team Fortress 2 community. Since 2013, it has raised over $320,000 for Children’s Oncology Services, Inc., which offers camps and other educational and excursion programs throughout the year that allow children with cancer to just be kids. With your help, COSI can offer attendance to kids at little to no cost to their families.

Season 25 powered by Tt eSPORTS: Preseason Premier Division Playoffs

For Season 25 we received a total of 10 signups for the Premier Division. Out of those 10 teams Se7en, LEGO and top5rocket will have a guaranteed spot. From the remaining 7 teams we removed one as it was a team of High Tier experienced players who did not provide any additional information or screenshots (except for one team, nobody did) but in addition to that they have not played any pcws so far, at least from what we could see. That leaves 5 spots in the Premier Division and 6 teams, namely:

• 3/6
• Animate
• Unexpected
• Danger Dogs
• Stevie Wonder's Aim School
• ComedyShortsGaming

Due to the exceptional amount of open spots in prem and the given time frame, we decided a different approach this time. The schedule and format looks as follows:

Monday, September 12th, 21:15 CEST

Match 1:  Unexpected vs  Animate

Match 2:  ComedyShortsGaming vs  Danger Dogs

The winners of match 1 and 2 will advance into the Premier Division.

Tuesday, September 13th, 21:15 CEST

Match 3: Animate vs  3/6

Match 4: Danger Dogs vs  Stevie Wonder's Aim School

The winners of match 3 and 4 will advance into the Premier Division.

Wednesday, September 14th, 21:15 CEST

Match 5: Animate vs Stevie Wonder's Aim School

The winner of match 5 will advance into the Premier Division, while the loser will have to play in the High Tier.

More information can be found on the respective match pages.
