Season 21 Premiership Week 3: Danger Dogs by TF2Pickup.net vs. Tony’s Tigers

It is canine versus feline when  Danger Dogs take on nerdRage.tf2. Danger Dogs fell against The Last Resort in week 1 but not without getting their paws on a couple of rounds first. After some team bonding against LEGO they might have found their stride, but building blocks and predatory cats are two different beasts. With viaduct_pro in play .kr4tos is going to have a hard time keeping his teammates healed and healthy with Flippy prone to scoping in on heads. Viaduct however is a map where upsets are prone to happen and if Danger Dogs can get the pressure on early we might have a nail biter on our hands. But they will have to hinder scout superstar Zebbosai. Join Samski, kaidus and Jon at 21:15 CEST to find out who truly is man’s best friend.

Season 21 Premiership Week 3: LEGO vs. WOnderland

It’s the grudge match of the season when LEGO face off against Wonderland again. The Danish mainstay of competitive TF2 lost out against these upstarts in the Premiership qualifiers and was fated to play high if not for the saving grace of Lethal Weapon collapsing. Now they have their chance for revenge against Wonderland and to prove that they truly belong in the Premiership by crushing Graba’s passion and team spirit. Both teams are sitting at the bottom of the table with no points to their name so this is prime opportunity for them to put end to that. Will Wonderland end up as Winderland or will LEGO methodically dismantle them? Join Sideshow, TurboTabs with a yet to be announced cameraman at 21:15 CEST.

So we’ve reached the third week, teams in the lower tiers have gotten their games under way but it is not until now that we get to see what the Premiership players are up to. First out this week are 4-25, sitting at a shared fourth place in the standings and they will be looking to keep it that way by crushing prtyboiz and leaving them with zero points once again. prtyboiz has had rough start due to playing both Se7en and nerdRage.tf2 who sit firm at the top of Prem. But 4-25 have also faced Se7en and lost, but put up more of a fight than tonight’s opposition did. It’s up to Dennia and Hank to kick it into the next gear and put the pressure on to 4-25’s flank. They especially need to keep Forsak3n from having free reign on the scope.

Join Admirable, molesto & DavidTheWin at 21:15 CEST and spam VAC in chat whenever Forsak3n hits a ridiculous headshot.

You thought Season 8 was over didn’t you? Not gone yet! Join Samski, Clark & Jon on BlackOut TV from 21:10 CEST for a evening of gore, blood and action courtesy of our relegation playoff game, Mad? vs. Unpoppable!

This game is to decide who will get into Premiership for Season 9 and who will be left with egg on their face knocked back into the High Division, so expect a lot of crazy and exciting plays from players like ShaDowBurn from Unpoppable & quad from Mad?!

Rounding out our week once again is The Last Resort tonight they will be pitted against the up and coming Wonderland. Graba’s team seems to be struggling with keeping an intact roster with players coming and going as they seem fit. Meanwhile The Last Resort’s initial roster shakeups have been worked out and HYS’ crew is going strong with Russian wunderkind ShaDowBurn on fire. It will be up to the Wonderland flank to put him out. Passion goes a long way but Wonderland need to turn up in great form to stand a chance against medal hungry The Last Resort. Tune in at 21:15 CEST for Wonderland‘s baptism of fire with Admirable, Ryushi and Suyooo on the camera.
