ETF2L partners with Multiplay!

Date August 16, 2010

Multiplay

It is with great pleasure that we can today announce a brand new partnership between ETF2L and one of Europe’s largest server providers, Multiplay.

It would be hard for anyone involved in the TF2 scene to underestimate the amount Multiplay provides for our community. Alongside selling fantastic game and match servers recommended by the very top players, as well as hosting the ever-popular Pickup channels, Multiplay are also responsible for one of the largest European LAN events in the gaming calendar – the iSeries. Their continued support reaches new heights this summer at i40 as TF2 ‘goes huge’, with over 330 players signed up to compete for at least £2,500!

Multiplay will be supporting ETF2L in a number of ways – covering our hosting, providing Source TV Relays, some public servers (more on that very soon!) and a new 1000 slot Mumble for ETF2L Radio. All of this will help ETF2L progress onwards and upwards and help us serve the TF2 community.

To kick off our new partnership, Multiplay have very kindly offered a whopping 50% discount to all ETF2L members on their 1000 FPS Match Servers! With central locations like Amsterdam and the UK, as well as an expanding range of services spreading right across the US, including Virginia, Texas and California, plus preloaded official ETF2L configs AND hundreds of custom maps as standard on each new server, it’s easy to see why Multiplay have become one of the very largest and best GSP’s in Europe. To enjoy this fantastic offer, simply enter in the promo code “etf2lftw” at the checkout stage, and get playing! Go check it out!

As ETF2L moves on to bigger and better things, we look forward to working with Multiplay to continue to provide the very best in competitive TF2. We also must take this opportunity to thank our previous server partner n1Ping, who have faithfully and professionally helped us grow. We wish them all the best in the future.

    This is certainly a good thing for the ETF2L

  3. xzr said:

    how about setting up some STV relays? Would be awesome if ETF2L could provide the bigger matches relays and there wasn’t a need to harrass FB and/or Reve for a relay every time there is a match

  17. shifty: Sir said:

  18. DouGie: CotC said:

    just wondering what exactly this brings to etf2l? cash prizes or…?

  19. HELMTU))) said:

    omg Déjà-vu

  20. Stray said:

    multiplay has a way better support, server managing panel and so on, BUT it has a bit bad routing :( n1ping had a bit better.. thats the only thing people will miss from n1ping..

  21. Rob- said:

    Stray – you should give us a shout if your routing isn’t brilliant, most of the time we can fix things like that :) Also your stv should be 10 by default, and access to a relay if you give us a shout!

  36. Matt: TEZC - TEZC said:

    Schweet.

  37. metalpiss said:

    Will they also be providing match servers for etf2l? Especially now since the highlander competition is coming and there will be lots of teams without servers.

  38. biohazard: IDK said:

    really? I thought that etf2l and multiplay worked together before? Damn I guess I need to get my facts right ;) good to hear this, multiplay will definitely be credit to etf2l

  43. D2M: vertex » - derptex9 said:

    Iseries lan finals please.

    This was something they brought up in my discussions with them, that was really exciting. They’re very much interested in organising something with the finals at LAN :D I really hope they follow it through and make it awesome!

  44. Kira! (kipa): xen - don\\\'t said:

    Thats great.

    n1ping are not so good and the didn`t do very much.

  45. Kop: [CiC] - CiC said:

    n1ping did help us alot and the clans that dont own servers or had issues, the amount of games that ETF2L had to lend to people for matches was very high and that would not have been possible without n1ping, make sure u have all the facts before making such comments Kira :D

  46. 霧谷 希 said:

    Great x)

  47. Kira! (kipa): xen - don\\\'t said:

    Hm..
    I think if you don`t have a server or opponents have a bad ping there – you can use their server or ask your friends for a server..
    And if they used n1ping server…. it`s no so much help from their side imo.

    But if those were some 6div teams, who didn`t have a game server and they don`t know what a game server is… then yes that was a great help for them :)

    P.S. From Muliplay i see that they will do exactly the same plus will give relays/mumble as FakkelBrigade did. Oh and that -50% discount is a good thing too ^^

    Awesome header

  49. dunc: infs - dp. said:

    I was never a fan of Multiplay servers originally. Every one I’d played on was literally horrific.

    Now we’ve got a NL-based 1000FPS server that plays brilliantly for everyone. Playing on the 250FPS servers feels utterly disgusting now!

  50. dunc: infs - dp. said:

    Multiplay NL-based 1000FPS server that is. Plug plug!

  51. Koeitje: AUTOBOTS said:

    Never had any problems with multiplay servers.

  52. cami: LDLC.com said:

    cool :)

  53. Kop: [CiC] - CiC said:

    @ kira, u would be suprised if i told u the amount of div 3 and i think div 2 clans that needed to use it from time to time, fact is they gave us them for almost nothing and they did the job needed, imo thats helpful.

    I dont deny multiplay are giving more but they are a much larger company with alot more stuff and n1ping did alot for the size of them

  54. Stray said:

    all config for match is ok but… shouldn’t sv_minrate be 35 000 not 20 000?

  55. shifty: Sir said:

    “Not to mention we have 911 pre-installed maps & 118 pre-configured addons, just clicks away using ClanForge™.”

    911 maps? Must be a typo and maybe a cruel joke haha? Didnt even realise there was this many maps ever made for TF2 ;p.
