Also our current main season is going on. After all unscheduled Week 3 matches got a Default Date last Sunday, Week 4 is starting this week. You should contact your opponents now and schedule your match.

Please have in mind we might give away Minor Warnings for teams who don’t make any effort to schedule their matches. Also a not submitted result or an agreed date outside the normal schedule can be a reason for a warning. Every team who accumulate 3 Minor Warnings in between one Season will get a point deduction (see Rule 2.12).

Spy & Sniper Unlocks

As we have already stated on our forums, all new weapons which were released for the Sniper & Spy are forbidden unless both teams agree otherwise.

Basketball 2on2 Cup: Win for .pt!

Our second bball cup is over. This time’s winners are .pt. THey didn’t come out of nowhere, they finished 2nd in our first bball cup. THis time they’ve gone that 1 step further and won the tournament. They convincingly beat Haircut and Sailor 2-0 in the finals, with map scores of 20-14 and 20-6. We would like to congratulate .pt, consisting of Haunter and  Coinz, with their win.

Instagib CTF 4on4 Cup: Superior Cows take it home!

The instagib cup is over as well. The finals were played between  Superior Cows and  ripulipimpsat. Superior Cows won on the first map, ctf_turbine, and then continued to win  ctf_ig_redshed, earning them the title. They have been dominating the entire cup, only giving away 6 captures in total, of which 4 in the finals. Well done to Superior Cows!

Highlander Cup: Title goes to Jari Litmanen!

Highladner is always a very anticipated gamemode, the matches are fun to watch and full of action. It is also one of the rare opportunities to see the lesser used classes in action. Again, 2 teams had made it to the finals, the Finnish  Jari Litmanen and the European  Hey that’s! Both teams had a strong lineup, featuring mostly division 1 or 2 players, so it was indeed very spectacular.  In the end Jari Litmanen won both maps. Congratulations on your win!

50 € Soldier 1on1 Cup & Season 5: Schedule reminder

We would once again like to remind you that we have strict deadlines in place for these two competitions. Every sunday there are several deadlines, be sure you don’t miss them.

Each round of our soldier cup must be played Sunday at the latest, but yet again we have alot of unplayed matches, and it’s Sunday already. Please remember we will award defaults/coin flip decisions when necessary. If we cannot see you putting effort into playing a game, we can’t do anything to help you either.  You only have to play 1 match per week, which shouldn’t take too long.

For season 5 the schedule deadline is every Sunday, week 2’s schedule deadline is today, yet we have around 50 unscheduled matches. We will assign default dates for those matches if no time and date has been entered after today.

All schedule and match dead deadlines can be found at our calendar. [Link]

We are happy to announce the partnership between ETF2L and SteelSeries will continue in Season 5.

SteelSeries, the leading manufacturer of gaming peripherals and accessiores, will provide 6x Siberia Full-Size Headsets (Special Edition “RED”) for the upcoming Division 1 winner.

But who will be the best out of 250 teams from over 25 different countries and take these excellent headsets home? Some of the usual candidates like Team Dignitas, Trademark Gamers, Team YoYoTech or Crack Clan? Or will some underdog like FakkelBrigade, clan00 or Level Up win Season 5?

The answer will be given in over 1000 matches which will be played in the next two months. We are looking forward to close and thrilling fights and wish all teams good luck and much fun!
