Highlander Season 33 Awards Changes

Date April 2, 2025

Banner by Austria OezR

Its your time to shine, become part of ETF2L history.

Awards have become a bit of a popularity show which is in part why we didn’t follow up on it during 6s season 48. However, it would be a shame not to do anything with it going forward. So we’ll be changing the awards to a frag showcase as an alternative attempt to make it more interesting.

Clip submission can be from any skill level and can be from either a scrim/official. Is your friend lazy? Feel free to submit clips for your teammates or other plays you see.

Submissions are open until 1 week after the last official is played.

We’ll be having awards for each class and each tier. Meaning we have

  • Best Scout Play of the Season
  • Best Soldier Play of the Season
  • Best Pyro Play of the Season
  • Best Demoman Play of the Season
  • Best Heavy Play of the Season
  • Best Engineer Play of the Season
  • Best Medic Play of the Season
  • Best Sniper Play of the Season
  • Best Spy Play of the Season
  • Best Play in Premiership
  • Best Play in High
  • Best Play in Mid
  • Best Play in Low
  • Best Play in Open
  • Best Play in Fresh

  • Funniest Play of The Season

Medals

Lets clear some elements up in regards to some confusion we saw after last news post combined with changing up medal eligibility.

Who gets medals?

We’re returning medal eligibility to the old format however, we’ll revisit this in the future season, with possible roster size reduction instead.

Who gets what medal?

First to third place stay the same.
Winners of the first group stage will get the old playoff design if they don’t reach a placement medal.
Participant medals get determined by your final group stage placement.

With the group stages now finished, it’s time to move onto the Playoffs! Information regarding tiebreakers and teams advancing into the playoffs can be found below!

Keep in mind that we will try and accommodate both teams, but the match date may still vary from your provided days if for example none of the days matches with your opponent’s, but your opponent offered more days than you did. Deadlines listed for the matches are flexible and may be changed in certain situations if admins are contacted about allowing extensions on these.
