Do you find yourself itching for some TF2 action to see you through the weekend? Well look no further than teamfortress.tv who are bringing you an entire day filled with games this Sunday starting at 15 CET. The day cup goes all day and features top Prem teams as well as brave challengers. More info can be found here.

LEGO VS TEAM INFUSED

Lo and behold as LEGO take the center stage in the team’s 14th season of ETF2L. If managing to reach 4th place in prem in their 13th season is anything to go by this is could be their season. The team has also managed to keep all the building blocks in check, returning with an intact roster. Taking on the long timers is the new Unexpected. With the man behind the kankerzooi, skeej stepping up as medic the team has an experienced backbone. The team also reunites scout partners Dennia and Hank. Tune in with Beater, CommanderX and ondkaja to see which team claims the highly coveted first points.

FORESKINGS VS PUBLICLIR

In our other game of the evening we are treated to last season’s High winners Foreskings‘s Premiership debut. They proved themselves then, but how they will fare in the Premiership is yet to be determined. Much like the game above we see a team that has played together and built chemistry taking on a newly formed team in  shredded autism. shredded autism also sees two players reuniting, with pocket amppis partnering up with  Serotone from the successful The Last Resort once again. If this sounds like something up your alley then tune in with Sideshow, Maks and Suyooo on stream two.

In our second game of Week 1 we see returning bronze medalists  Full Tilt taking on pre-season cup champions Planet Express. As is not uncommon there have been some roster changes with Tek stepping in as a replacement for Silentes, this recent change also makes it so Sideshow is no longer the player with the most awards on the team. But one change in a team with 5 core players remaining may not be enough of an edge for the relatively new Planet Express, to take advantage of. So tune in with Beater, Getawhale and Sim at 21:15 CET.

BlackOut TV – Wednesday 27th 21 CET / 3PM EST  –  Stacked vs. Team Colonslash: Ambition

So the top teams have been decided, Strong Opinions are now crowned victors of Highlander Season 9 but the high level fun ain’t done ’til Hildreth sings! Join CeeJaey, sigafoo & Jon on BlackOut TV as our 7th position Premiership team Stacked plays off against Team Colonslash: Ambition to decide who will take a spot in Season 10’s Premiership division.

As Team Colonslash: Ambition lucked out from the automatic spot in Prem for winning High, as runners up they get a 2nd chance to show their worth in the form of a game against Stacked, one very surprising team throughout Season 9 who only clutched 2 victories to secure 7th after 7 weeks of matches. Can they show that they still have Premiership material in their bones or will Team Colonslash: Ambition have this spotlight to get into Premiership despite losing to The Bureau last week? Tune in from 21 CET / 3PM EST to find out!

OVERALL
Stacked [3:6] Team Colonslash: Ambition

We have added the following commands to etf2l.cfg:

tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime 0
tf_preround_push_from_damage_enable 1
tf_spawn_glows_duration 0

We are setting the lifetime of dropped weapons to 0 to go along with rule 2.2 (banning all weapon pickups).
The push from self-damage on rollouts has been a part of serveme.tf’s configs, but as an oversight hasn’t been added to our configs yet, so we’re amending this.
Finally, we are setting the duration of player outlines visible after respawning to 0. You will still be able to see your teammates’ outlines while you’re dead and/or spectating, but not at any time after this.

Please make sure that your servers are running the current version of etf2l.cfg during officials following the news post.

Please note that as this is the base config, it will apply to all game modes played in ETF2L.
