The probably biggest Season 1 match is over, Four Kings.Intel managed to get a clear 2-Map-Win between the by then unbeaten team Kompaniet. Have a look at the match site for scores and screenshots. The coverage was a success with having over 150 people following the match by SourceTV and/or the English commentary by myTF.de!

Don’t forget next Wednesday will be the next big ETF2L event with a big quadV-Shoutcast for the Starting Cup Final between Four Kings, current leader of Division 1, and TeamCoolerMaster who will play their very last game.

Beside that Division 2a, 2b and 4 are ending officially in the end of next week, Division 2a already found the very 1^st Division Champion with Phonetic, who managed to not lose any single map in 4 games. All congratulations to them; they will get promoted to Division 1 in Season 2.

Division 2b will probably find his winner in syre, who managed to reach 32 points in this season and are having a free last week. Only Team Jobola could still reach them if they are winning their last 2 games completely. Division 4 is pretty undecided yet; the first four teams still have all chances to win their division with having some games left.

This week we have some late schedules again. And again you will have time to schedule your games till Sunday 23:59 CET. If they are not scheduled in the Calendar by then, we will have to decide a league default date. That’s the case for these Week 6 Fixtures:

• (Division 1 – Clan United vs. fof²)
• Division 2b – Team Jobola vs. Pub Clan
• (Division 3a – Team Empire vs. Kaizen)
• Division 3a – klan:fader vs. fight club
• (Division 3b – jAgarna vs. Unalleviated Suffering)
• Division 4 – Insane Dutch Killers vs. Die Philosoffen

If you have any problems contacting or reaching your opponent, please contact us, we will try to solve the problem. Otherwise schedule these matches as soon as possible. Also don’t forget Week 7 Fixtures, which are also supposed to be played next week.

Valve released cp_badlands yesterday and it feels like some people even like it. We will have a public vote about adding cp_badlands to the mappool soon, so feel free testing it in PCWs under ETF2L rules.

As a last short notice, as the teams didn’t manage to schedule their Week 5 Games themselves, we set default match dates:

• Division 1 – Four Kings vs. fof² – Default Match Date: 18.02.2008, 21:00 CET
• Division 3a – Team Empire vs. The MIPC Organization – Default Match Date: 18.02.2008, 20:00 CET

We had some updates on the site in the last days; you are now able to register your team on our league site at any time, so you can easily join our upcoming competitions when Sign Ups open.

New Sign-Up System

1. As team leader you will have to create an account on our site here.

2. After you logged in, you can easily register your team at the Dashboard.

3. Once your team is registered at our site, it will be shown on our Teamlist.

4. You can easily join our competitions when we open Sign Ups. (Like for our 2^nd Cup, which will open on 20th February)

About the current league status, Week 5 did officially end this night, unofficial there are some late games due to generally busyness these weeks. These are our problem children this week:

• Division 1 – Four Kings vs. fof² – Four Kings taken Wildcard
• Division 3a – Team Empire vs. The MIPC Organization

You will have to (re-)schedule your games as soon as possible; otherwise admins will have to set a default match date.

Beside that Team Coolermaster (Division 1 of course) decided to drop from this season to reorganize themselves again. But they will anyhow still play Starting Cup Final vs. Four Kings, which will be played on 20^th February with QuadV-Coverage.

After this another drop we changed our Default-Win-System and removed all results of dropped teams in Season 1 for having a better overview.

Happily all other divisions are still running pretty fine. Please start scheduling your Week 6 Fixtures now!

Our little site admin ST8, who is working on the league site almost 24/7, wanted me to remember that only one team leader has to submit a played league game at our Dashboard. For an easier course we recommend the winner’s team leader should submit the league result with correct screenshots.

In the while we are focusing our two big upcoming competitions, the 2^nd Cup and also our 2^nd Season already closer. We have many ideas on our list already and also up for your thoughts of ETF2L. Feel free to write something in our Feedback-Thread.

The first 2^nd Cup Vote ended Friday night, want to play another ‘Normal Cup’ with Mediclimit 1, Classlimit 2 and No-Crits. Tonight we are opening two special votes for our 2^nd Cup about the Elimination and Seeding System. We are also opening a 3^rd general vote about ctf_well which was been released a few weeks ago. Votes will be closed on coming Friday, 23:59 CET. We are looking forward to your opinions!

Sign-Ups for 2^nd ETF2L Cup are opening in the evening of the 20th February at about 22 CET, right after Starting Cup Final is finished.

We will start with the worst news: The Last Resort.Tagan stopped playing TF2 and dropped from Division 1. With having three dropped teams in our 1^st Division it’s poorly a pretty decimated competition. As we would have like 1 match per Week in Division 1, we changed the timetable a bit. Beside that we are happy all other divisions are running smooth and great at the moment. Keep on!

That will be the changed timetable for Division 1:

Week 5 – Week commencing February 4, 2008

• Four Kings vs. fof² (from Week 7)
• Team CoolerMaster vs. Clan United (from Week 8)

Week 6 – stays like it is

Week 7 (last week of Division 1) – Week commencing February 18, 2008

• Team CoolerMaster vs. Four Kings (from Week 9)
• Clan United vs. In Die Anale Combo (from Week 9)
• Fof² vs. Kompaniet (from Week 9)

Week 8+9 – no games in Division 1

Hope that will be fine with all Division 1 Teams, please contact us if you have any problems with the new schedule.

Beside that a few games of Week 4 still aren’t scheduled. If your game is not added in the Calendar by Sunday, 23:59 CET league admins will set a default match date.

Following games of Week 4 are not scheduled / entered in the Calendar yet:

• Division 2b – Pub Clan vs. 5 Quinas
• Division 3a – FsA vs. Team Empire
• Division 4 – Insane Dutch Killers vs. hb0da

Evilhunter from myTeamFortress.de also pleased me to mention his first ‘Audiocomment‘ for ETF2L Division 1 Game Kompaniet vs. Clan United. The idea is having a synchronic commentary by watching a demo. Sadly this Audiocomment is in German, but myTeamFortress.de is searching for English people who would like to make something equal. If you are interested in helping out and do some English Audiocomment, please contact Evilhunter. You can download the first German Audiocomment here.

Beside that the progress on Season 2 already started, we have some new ideas which we will try to realize. There is also a Feedback thread on the forum, feel free to post your thoughts there.

Last but not least we have a first vote about our 2^nd ETF2L Cup, of course the community will be able to decide which format it will have! You will have to register to be allowed to vote. This vote will be open until next Friday, 23:59 CET. There will follow a vote about Double / Single Elimination Mode and Seedings / No Seedings [and Mappool if needed]. SignUps will probably start one day after Starting Cup Final has been played (21.02.).

Notice: 2^nd Cup Format will be 6on6. CTF Cup, Custom Map Cup, Map System Cup would be played with nocrit, mediclimit 1, classlimit 2. Any European teams will be able to participate; you don’t have to play Season 1.
