Monday Night Madness #8 – Snakewater
For those of you not playing in the playoffs or the Highlander challenge there is a nice surprise in the form of the Monday Night Madness Cup #8. This time the one day cup for custom maps will feature cp_snakewater by Chojje. He spent quite some time on fine-tuning the map for competitive play, so be sure to check out more about his map in this forum thread.
The Eighth edition of the Monday Night Madness will be held Monday, 10 January at 20:00 CET. The signups will open on Sunday, 9 January at 17:00 CET. We will have several servers (provided by Multiplay) available to play on. the cup will use the familiar format: Teams will be seeded into groups of 16 according to their skill. When signing up, you will be placed on the waiting list at first, and then seeded into the correct group. The finals of each bracket will be held at 22:15 CET. Be sure to check them out.
Happy 2011!
And finally, the staff at ETF2L would like to extend our best wishes to you, your family, and your teammates this New Year. Thanks for a great 2010, and let’s work together to make 2011 an even better year for Team Fortress 2!
Fuck yeah, let’s play snakewater!
SNAKEWATER YEAAAAAAAAAAAH

Finally…
We was robbed, mates!
its an outrage james
Division 6 promotion playoff #5: Italy Team Extreme vs. UK Who Dares… Grins
This game accidentally added to Who Dares Wins gamelist :)
Fixed the wrong playoff, thanks :)
good luck for all playoffs
go renoB! <3
gogo n2o :)
Hard Drinkers vs colony is also a match to watch.
http://etf2l.org/matches/22094/
why is this match defaulted, im guessing it is tcm roster problems that didnt get this match played, but from neither side it shows any attempts they have made on the match page itself.
Most important is that the match decided who was going to be the last team for the playoffs!!!!!
We were told our match vs tcm wouldve been put on 0-0 points for either team if we didnt play it, that shouldve happened with blight vs tcm so they wouldve played a match for 4th place!
“let’s work together to make 2011 an even better year for Team Fortress 2!” – Valve’ll do that – MORE SHIT HATS and WEAPONS and no more fps
also which genious gave us 2 matches in 1 week with a 4 day notice up front :D
ctf_turbine_pro for Monday Night Madness #9 please!
News post says: Semi final (map elimination)
HL Rules says: Semi Final: Both teams pick one map, possible Decider Map by Map Elimination Mode
Personally I read the news post as “All three maps decided by elimination”, which is obviously not what the rules say. Can an admin please clarify this?
Thank you.

Was semi-boycotting MNM for terrible bracket placement for my team the last two times we participated, but the rest of my team threatened to write incoherent English if I wouldn’t sign up, so I had no choice!
All jokes aside though, I hope we get past the first round this time :D
