Newcomer guide

If you are new to 6v6 or competitive TF2, or haven’t played in ETF2L before, take a look at the [Newcomer guide] first. It should get you started in no time!

Format

Every team is placed into a Division that matches their skill level, with up to 8 teams per Division. The lowest ranked division is Division 6, and the highest is Premiership. Teams from one Division will meet each other once. There will be 7 regular season matches, with playoffs for Premiership and potential tiebreakers for other divisions.

Prizes

Players in all divisions will receive in-game medals for winning the group, as well as participation medals for finishing the season.

The best three Premiership Division teams will receive a share of €1000 generously provided by the BlackOut Gaming community. Additionally to that there are hardware prizes provided by Tt eSports.

A massive thanks to Austria private_meta for donating €250, meaning we have additional prizes available to hand out in the following structure:

  • gold medal Division 1 winner: €80
  • gold medal Division 2 winners: €40
  • gold medal Division 3 winners: €22.50

Just to clarify, that means every Division 2 winner (2a, 2b…) and every Division 3 winner (3a,3b,3c,3d…) will receive a money prize for finishing first.
