Welcome back to another jam-packed season of Highlander!

This season is crammed with Premiership hopefuls, with 6 teams competing in a single-elimination tournament for the remaining 3 spots in the Premiership tier. Matches will be played between the 15th and 17th of March. The following teams will be facing head to head:

Match 1:  PremTech vs Budget Toucans

Match 2:  Ragnarokr vs  Feila finanzieren durch DROPS

Match 3:  Fair Enough vs  Super Dickmann's KANNONEN!

Winners of each match will be promoted onto the Premiership tier.

 Maps

Season 10 Playoffs as well as the Regular Season will use the following map pool:

• Week 1: pl_upward
• Week 2: koth_lakeside_final and cp_process_final
• Week 3: pl_borneo
• Week 4: cp_steel
• Week 5: pl_badwater
• Week 6: pl_barnblitz_pro6
• Week 7: koth_product_rc8 and cp_gullywash_final1

Maps will be chosen using the Map Elimination System. Due to Highlander having a bigger map pool, an additional ban phase should be added. Each match will be played as a Best of Three – yes! This means stopwatch maps will be played as a best of three as well. ABBA’s back, baby!

Whitelist

Season 10’s whitelist features some minor changes from the previous season:

• The Pomson 6000 is now banned. This is due to a bug regarding invisible particles.
• The Phlogistinator is now allowed.
• With the feedback received from the Season 10 Map Test Cup, we are keeping the Razorback allowed for this season.

You can find the relevant whitelist on whitelist.tf here

Expect more info on schedules to arrive together with the provisional divisions, to be published on the 18th of March.

Welcome everyone to the conclusion of the 23rd 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.

Here we are, the last game of the regular season and what a game. The undisputed top of Premiership will be on display as these two teams with phenomenal track records clash. Se7en have only let a single measly point escape them so far. Full Tilt have had a golden cap as well with a map loss to boot, placing them slightly behind their opposition. This could be a preview of a potential grand final. But this fixture is still important as it will determine who goes into this as the number 1 seed. We will begin the evening with a splash of product and top it off with a well aged glass of badlands. Your sommeliers for this soirée will be CommanderX, Maks & DavidTheWin. Don’t forget the party starts at 20.00 CET.

REMINDER TO ALL: Use cp_alloy_rc1c for all games (replacing cp_alloy_rc1b)

It’s time to start warming up for Highlander Season 10, starting with a good old fashioned Pre-Season Cup! Teams will be fighting it out on 3 brand spanking new (to ETF2L) maps and Blackout TV will be bringing you all the action. Join your host for the evening Samski with an assortment of co-casters and Jon on the camera to see how the new maps play in Highlander and of course laugh at the Sniper mains flailing hopelessly without their trusty ol’ Razorback.
