Season 20 powered by Tt eSPORTS – Provisional Tiers

The signup count for Season 20 powered by Tt eSPORTS is 295 teams (we had to remove a couple of teams because they did not have enough players). The divisions may still be subject to change, there is no guarantee for anyone except those teams who earned promotion or stayed comfortably in the middle of their division.

Swiss System Changes: How to prepare for Week 1

The Swiss system has finally hit the main site, and we’re ready for teams to submit their available playing days for Week 1. Usually you would have more time to submit these, but it’s been a squeeze to get this out in time – so bear with it for Week 1 please!

Every team signed up for Season 20 (except for Premiership teams) needs to submit their available playing days by Saturday 23:59. You can do that through this page and selecting Edit Availability for your Season 20 team.

• Select between 1 and 3 consecutive days through the dropdown.
• Select a preferred time and time window for each day.
• Click Save Changes! You’re done!

That’s all there is to it for now, this should get you started for Week 1. There will be a “Swiss System FAQ” page listed on the site sometime when the system is 100% completed and we can guide new players through in-depth.

Premiership Fixtures have been created, please schedule the games as you would normally with the Week starting this Sunday. (Because of the late notice, default dates will be delayed so it would be much appreciated to add the enemy leader asap and get it scheduled fast!)

Final Tiers will be released tomorrow night, and fixtures will be created on Saturday at 23:59! HYPE!

Due to technical issues with the lobby system a lot of teams were not able to play their scheduled group stage matches. We apologize and have changed the way the remaining group stage matches will be played.

Saturday 24th January

If your team has any unplayed group stage match, you will have to schedule it to play it with the opposing team.
We will not use the TF2Center tournament system so please schedule this if you want to progress to the next round.

So please check your team page for any unplayed matches and add those opponents on steam.

Season 20 powered by Tt eSPORTS – Fundraiser Showmatch

A celebration of quirky European ways like poor personal hygiene and crowd-sourced prize pots is on the cards with  Admirable &  Sideshow slipping their filthy fingers into your virtual wallets in the name of competitive Team Fortress 2. Every trick in the book will be used to part you from your money for the greater good of the Season 20 Fundraiser.

Title sponsors, Tt eSPORTS, have offered up a Tt eSPORTS SHOCK Headset and a Tt eSPORTS Ventus Mouse which we will be giving away to you, the lucky viewer. All you’ll need to enter is a Twitter Account and to be watching the stream. More details will be announced during the show as to how exactly you can lay your hands on those tasty hardware morsels.

The Teams

The birth of this Reason Gaming squad marks the return of kaidus after taking a season off to rehabilitate his wrist and lurk in the shadows before swooping during the dying days of Season 19 to snatch up kaptain, zoob, wltrs and  Hafficool from the rotting carcasses of Planet Express,  coolclan and Lowpander. Early results in pre-season practise and the Sunshine Cup have confirmed their status as contenders.

Ze Knutsson Rollerbladers seemed all set after taking silver last season, but the recent surprise departure of  zappis for the bright lights of CSGO streamer stardom had left the roster exposed with possible question marks over rookie soldier AMS. and the erratic  Knutsson on medic. A shrewd acquisition in the form of  Starkie has seen off the decline in their stock and opened up several possible viable roster configurations with both himself and  Zebbosai more than capable of playing scout and soldier to the highest level.

 – Admirable
