No, there was no topic like this one before.

I was just wondering if there is an approximate ETA when the Highlander Season 1 medals/items/underwear will be handed out. Or what kind of item there will be in the first place. Will it be more like a month or a year? It’s not that I am impatient, just curious :-)

And yes, I am aware of Valve time. I know you guys were pretty quick in handing the medals out for the Highlander Challenge after the correct API key was provided by Valve.

Eric Smith recently took over the responsibility of helping all the leagues and tournaments with their medals, and is currently getting up to speed. So they have been trying to get all of that sorted and build a better system for medals that doesn’t take as much time. As requested, we have sent him an overview of all the medals we have handed out, promised to hand out, or intend on promising to hand out in ETF2L. We need him to get back to us before we can progress any further. Unfortunately, the Christmas break slowed things down a bit, and many of the Valvers were snowed in for a week after that. They should get back to us any day now (apparently 1-2 days = at least 1-2 weeks).

After that, there’s some discussion, modeling and communication with Valve to be done. My best guess would be “a few months, Valve time” before we see them in-game. But when that happens, hopefully all of our medals will be added (HL s1, HL s2, s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, and ~10 Ultiduo cups)

PS. And yes, only medals will be handed out. Valve intended on letting leagues hand out other kinds of items, but after discussing it, decided to stick with medals for all competitions.

ashkan:
Thanks for the elaborate answer! Too bad they decided to stick to medals. Still, medals are awesome, so who am I to complain :-)

Always a pleasure helping other people feel smug, you are welcome!

You should make the participant ‘medal’ a ribbon. The highlander challenge participant medal was way too similar to the 3rd place medal.

They should make the medals connectable to each other like in the following link:

Nope. The other way around, as far as I know.

Hello! Old thread, just wondering if any word whatsoever has been heard on this. The medals from last October’s 9v9 highlander tourney season 1. I found it a lil’ funny the S2 was announced with prizes of “more” medals for awards when the previous still haven’t gone out yet… anyway, TF2 tourneys are teh best, WOOOO!!!!

Everything you asked has already been answered.

Also. Welcome to the concept of Valve-time.
