The Provisional Divisions

The provisional divisions for Season 5 have been released and can be accessed here:

>>> Highlander Season 5 Provisional Divisions <<<

If you are not happy with the division that your team has been placed in, please contact an admin using the Support Page as soon as possible. Keep in mind that much like during the signup process, you must provide evidence of your ability to perform at the level of the division you wish to enter. This means, at minimum, a screenshot album displaying performance of your team against other similar-skilled teams. These pictures can be taken from PCWs, scrims, cups, other leagues and so on.

Every team with less than 9 players by Monday 28th may get replaced. Please make sure you have enough players in your roster by this time.

Season 16 Powered by BlackOut Gaming: The Last Resort vs Reverto

Two premiership matches tonight, the first being a contest between The Last Resort and REVERTO. The promoted REVERTO have been doing really well in the season, finally losing their first game against Awsomniac in a rather close contest. The Last Resort on the other hand won against the Frenchies, in an equally close contest. With not much between them and some very needed points up for grabs, we could be in for a close one.

Highlander Season 5 Signups Close Tonight

As a reminder, the deadline for Highlander Season 5 signups is tonight! You can still sign up afterwards, but your team will not be guaranteed a spot in the season.

Did someone say Medals?

Music is playing in the streets and strangers are hugging each other with tears streaming down their cheeks – the long-lost medals have arrived!

With some apt apologies for the delay, the batch of medals for 6v6 Season 14 and Highlander Season 4 have finally been distributed!

Every eligible player receives a participation medal. Additionally, if your team won its division, you will be awarded a group winner medal as well. For the Premiership Divisions, the top 3 teams are awarded a gold, silver or bronze medal, in addition to the participation medal.

Important note: Medals were handed out to players who were on an eligible team’s roster when each competition’s rosters locked. If you left your team earlier, you have not been awarded a medal by default. If you believe you have heavily contributed to a team’s success but ended up outside its roster on the final day, or you were on a team’s roster but did not receive a medal, you can still apply for an exception by contacting us and providing the following information:

• Your ETF2L user profile
• The season you are missing a medal for
• The team you played with in that season
• If you were not on the team’s roster when rosters locked: why do you deserve to receive a medal for that season?

Please note that this applies to 9v9 Season 4 and 6v6 Season 14 only. 6v6 Season 15 medals are still pending distribution.

Season 16 Powered by BlackOut Gaming:  4-25 vs Hovercrabs

In what could be an incredibly interesting fixture out of Div 1, 4-25 face HoverCrabs in a game that could contribute to a promotion spot. 4-25 were lauded for a premiership spot at the beginning of the season, but after both teams being shown up by d-d-Did I Stutter? this game looks a lot closer and could swing either way depending on how each side turns up.

Winter time starts this Sunday

All countries that observe Daylight Saving Time will be winding their clocks back one hour in the morning of this Sunday, October 27th.

If you live in a country that does not observe Daylight Savings Time, then from this Sunday onwards, you will be playing one hour later than before.

Any ETF2L dates scheduled to October 27th or later are automatically translated from CEST to CET (-1 hour). Please keep this in mind when proposing dates to this Sunday or later – your proposed date will be treated as CEST and reduced by 1 hour after submitting.

We recommend clarifying the exact time in match comments to prevent misunderstandings.

To summarize:

• If you want to play at 21:00 CEST on Saturday, October 26th or earlier, enter 21:00 when submitting the proposal.
• If you want to play at 21:00 CET on Sunday, October 27th or later and submit the proposal before the switch to Winter time, enter 22:00 when submitting the proposal.
• If you want to play at 21:00 CET on Sunday, October 27th or later and submit the proposal after the switch to Winter time, enter 21:00 when submitting the proposal.
