As announced a year ago, we are preparing to take the old XML API offline in favor of the new one located at api.etf2l.org.

From July 15, 2015 onwards, the following API paths will no longer exist:

• https://etf2l.org/feed/player/
• https://etf2l.org/feed/transfer/
• https://etf2l.org/feed/clan/
• https://etf2l.org/feed/match/

If you have an application that still uses these paths, please switch to the new API located at api.etf2l.org.

The iCal feed (https://etf2l.org/feed/ical/) will remain available until a suitable replacement is ready.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the new API, please contact us at webmaster@etf2l.org

season 21 Premiership Week 4: Danger Dogs by TF2Pickup.net vs. Wonderland

Wonderland has struggled throughout the season only taking one map against LEGO so far, unlike when they claimed their Premiership spot. Danger Dogs have had a similar start to their season having also only won against LEGO, but they took home both maps and in a very convincing manor. But this game marks the Premiership return of qnx replacing Danger Dogs‘s previous pocket misha YB`g. Will this change prove impactful and if so in which direction? This might be a good fixture for qnx to jump into as Wonderland has had troubles with both their roster and the onslaughts of their opponents. Tune in with byte and Samski with ondkaja on camera duty to see who progress in the tables.

Insomnia 55 showmatch

If you fancy yourself some intercontinental clashes tune in to see Premiership’s as of yet undefeated big boys take on one of the North American i55 prospects. Yes indeed it’s nerdRage.tf2 previously Tony’s Tigers and they will be facing Ascent who has finished second in North America several seasons running. Both teams have had plenty of LAN experience but this their first go at each other before facing off at INSOMNIA 55, where the rulers of TF2 will be crowned in the sweat and blood of their enemies. Casted by Admirable, Sideshow and DavidTheWin as your cameraman.

After the ultimate clash of European and North American Champions unfortunately had to be postponed (date to be announced), we have two actual LAN-participants lined up for you guys this week!

This sunday, 14th of June at 20 CEST:

Fair Enough vs Prempander 

While  Fair Enough have been confident from the very start that they will be victorious at DeutschLAN (Quote HartzFartz: “Ez tournament win for FairEnough.”), Hildreth and BAITO joined forces to combine pieces of their rosters and build a team that should be a hard nut to crack by the time LAN comes around.

Of course the boys of  Fair Enough have been playing together for quite some time now, building up a great synergy between their players. Will Prempander´s individually high skilled players from Highpander© and PremTech be able to snap some rounds or even maps off the self-proclaimed LAN favourites?

Join us over at Blackout TV and do not miss this preview to what is expecting us at DeutschLAN 2015 sponsored by TF2Center.com!

Fundraiser still open!

Of course you can still donate to our DeutschLAN Fundraiser during the showmatch or whenever you feel like it! We also still accept item donations!
For those of you, who noticed: We had to edit the perks as indiegogo does not allow us to use raffles as a perk. However, we are still going to do it! So calm down everybody, we are gonna raffle hats!

DeutschLAN? What is this?

For those of you new to and interested in this event, check out our official announcement post, the previous fundraiser announcement and, most importantly, the official DeutschLAN forum thread here on ETF2L.org. Spread the word and let the world know!

We still have plenty of spots left for any team or player of any skill-level! Do not hesitate and make or look for a team right now!

Tonight we are treated to the tenacious nerdRage.tf2 vs. eastern Prem hope 4-25. Both teams have done well for themselves in the season so far, sitting in the upper half of the tables at the time of writing. They will be playing process and viaduct_pro tonight, two maps renowned for their sniper sightlines. With both teams in possession of great sniping capabilities in Flippy and Forsak3n, we will see firsthand who has the most point and click prowess. After some sleuthing it seems that we might see another lineup switchero from nerdRage.tf2 especially with viaduct_pro allowing teams to try all kinds of different class variations. We saw somewhat of an upset on Sunday will this be yet another one? Tune in at 21:16 CEST with .kr4tos, molesto & Suyooo for some Premiership action.
