A clearly shaken kaidus was heard during yesterday’s post-game interview having lost to The Last Resort. The English teamleader said he had some things to go over with his teammates. With this crack in the foundation of Se7en, LEGO has all the motivation to take this fixture and 6 luscious points. Dr. Phil has the insight into the human psyche needed to analyze Se7en’s weakness and play them to his team’s advantage. Join in to see what crumbles first: Se7en or the LEGO tower looking to reach high into the Premiership tables? Join CommanderX, Samski and Jon to find out.

We’ve made a few small changes to the site that you should know about:

• ETF2L team avatars are no longer derived from Steam group avatars.

If you are a team leader, you can now change the team’s avatar at any time by clicking Edit Profile on your My Teams page and uploading a new image.

• You can now opt out of ETF2L email notifications.

If you do not wish to receive email notifications  from ETF2L anymore, you can opt out by unticking Send Email Notifications on your Profile page. This will disable all team leader notifications, such as new default dates, schedule proposals and match comments.

Ending Week 3 is a doozy of a game and potential playoff preview as two highly experienced English demomen pit their teams against each other, that’s right it’s Se7en vs. The Last Resort. Both teams have under the guidance of kaidus and HYS respectively reached the top of the heap not giving up even a single golden cap point. Not surprising considering both teams are filled with highly skilled individuals. With both amppis and kaptain ready to deny airborne enemies, the airshots are bound to be plenty. But teamwork makes the dream work, as the old adage goes. So which one of these two gold contending teams has the cohesion to stick it to their opposition and walk out on top? This is going to be an exciting game so get your popcorn, or any other form of sustenance for that matter, ready and watch these big boys duke it out on gullywash and viaduct_pro. Your hosts will be Sideshow, Mike and DavidTheWin on camera duty at 21:15 CEST.

First things first: the Fundraiser

Our Fundraiser has had a great start, collecting already 750 € in only 4 days! Thanks to everyone that contributed already; whether it was on stream of the first showmatch, an item or a donation at our indiegogo-page. As serveme always says: You guys rock!

If you did not sign up yet and you lost the link, click here. After filling out the form, please transfer at least 382,50 € (half the amount for 9 players) to MTA. Payment info will be given to you once you have filled out the form. Only the payment completes your registration. You don´t transfer the money, you do not get a guaranteed spot at LAN!

What is he talking about? That´s not new…. True! But this is:

You can come to LAN, even if you are not playing!

After talking to our hosts we agreed we would accept “tourists” for the LAN. Meaning people that did not find a LAN-team, do not want to play and just hang out and meet with their online friends to enjoy the athmosphere, as well as spectators can come and be a part of the event! Maybe your team wants to play with backups as well!? If you are amongst those, feel free to contact me on steam to talk about the procedure, as you cannot just signup and transfer the funds using the link above.

Enough talking, more TF2: Showmatch-series
