Highlander Nations Cup #2: France vs USA

After  two months of fighting against other nations in the second Highlander Nations Cup, only two teams remain – France and USA. The route to the final hasn’t been easy for either team, with both teams having to see off tough teams such as Finland and Germany.

Nations Cup #4 – Round of 16: Sweden vs Norway

Another group of matches tonight, with the pick of the bunch being the Scandinavian clash between Sweden and Norway. On paper, this should be a straightforward win for the Swedes, however the Norwegians definitely shouldn’t be underestimated with talent such as drleånn, qnx and toogyboogy.

Nations Cup #4 – Round of 16: France vs Portugal

The Nations Cup resumes with France taking on Portugal. Albeit they are arguably the stronger side, a big part of France‘s roster just returned from i49 and the fatigue could have an effect on their performance. This could prove fatal, especially against an opponent as formidable as Portugal. With several players that have Premiership experience, they should not be written off. We should be in for a close match.

Rule Update

Using scripts to perform actions you would not be able to perform without scripts, or using scripts to disrupt the player hitbox/model is no longer allowed and may be classified as cheating.

The complete rule reads as follows:

6.3 Scripts
Scripts that allow a player to perform an action in-game that he would not be able to execute without the script, or scripts that purposefully disrupt the player hitbox are banned and may be classified as cheating. Scripts that freeze or glitch the player model (e.g. in mid-air to be less predictable) to make it harder to hit are also banned.

Examples of banned scripts:

• Chargeturn script (this includes the use of other peripherals to achieve sharper turn angles)

Examples of allowed scripts:

• Duck jump script
• Null-cancelling movement script
• Rocket jump script
• Mask uber script
• Team say scripts

If you are unsure about the legality of a particular script, please contact an admin to clarify the situation before using the script in an official match.

If you are unsure whether a particular script is allowed, please contact an admin using IRC or the Support Page before using the script in an official match.
