REMINDER: Teams must use cp_snakewater_u10 or any most recent version of the map due to known exploits and bugs in the u8 version used in this season. If teams are found to use u8 version of Snakewater in playoffs they will be punished, along with harsher punishments related to exploiting the bugs in the older version of the map.

Welcome everyone to the conclusion of the 24th season of ETF2L 6v6.
We hope you enjoyed the matches, and for the teams that made it through, congratulations. Here is where the poor and Irish get separated from the Gentle Mannes.

All divisions will have playoffs, all playoff matches will be using the Map Elimination system. Note that all dates are estimates and teams are able to negotiate other days by scheduling with their opponents.

If you find yourself on the list of these teams expect an admin to add you and request your availability, if there is no information or insufficient information given we will have to decide your match dates for you. Keep in mind that we will try and accommodate both teams, but the match date may still vary from your provided days, if for example none of the days match with your opponent, but your opponent offered more days than you did. Deadlines listed for the matches are flexible and may be changed in certain situations if admins are contacted about allowing extensions on these.

We are well under way with the 7th and last week here in the Premiership. It is a time of reflection, so let us reflect on LEGO who are sitting snuggly at the top end of the table. A strong season with just 7 points not going their way so far. Causing an upset against reigning champs Se7en. Maybe this has been the season of LEGO. Their opposition du jour have not had it as easy. PC MASTER RACE are sitting further down in the table, in the relegation trench. Suffering a narrow defeat yesterday on granary. Maybe this will be their chance at retribution? Casters are Bren, kaidus and  Suyooo.

nameLESS vs. Perilous Gaming

Are you ready? They meet again, the big dog showdown returns. Se7en take on Full Tilt to determine who could’ve been Dreamhack Summer LAN champs. Se7en are going into this on the back off a medic switcheroo. Keep in mind that Full Tilt will be playing without regular demoman alle. So be sure to tune in with Admirable, WARHURYEAH and DavidTheWin.

Personal computer master race vs. crowns

shredded autism, fresh off their 3rd placed LAN finish at Dreamhack summer, are standing in the way of PC MASTER RACE’s chance to avoid relegation. The electronics enthusiasts need as many points as they can gather to ensure they won’t face relegation. With LAN bonding proving fruitful for Unexpected, we could see a very strong showing from shredded autism. Who will emerge on top? Tune in with Beater, TurboTabs and Sim to find out.

happy end are heading into their last bout of the regular season. We’re getting down to the nitty gritty of who makes the playoffs and who will end up facing relegation. So both teams will want to secure as many points as humanly possible. Unexpected are just returned from a 4th place finish at DreamHack Summer, maybe the LAN event strengthened their resolve and team cohesion. Tune in with   Beater, WARHURYEAH and Suyooo to find out.

Sunday surprise, after doing well at Dreamhack Summer the leaderboard leaders Full Tilt make their return to ETF2L. But when the cat’s away the mice do their thing as the saying goes. LEGO have clawed their way to a 2nd place in the table, only one point behind said number 1. If happy end bring the beat down a 1st seed finish for Full Tilt could be in jeopardy. happy end may be far behind but don’t count them out of the playoff picture either. Casters are  Maks,  TurboTabs and  DavidTheWin.
