Sign Up for the Community Fortress Highlander Tournament!

Date April 11, 2011

After months of planning and waiting, our friends from across the pond over at Community Fortress have announced their very own Highlander tournament! This time, everyone is invited, pubbers and pros alike! There will even be separate conferences for European and American teams, meaning, we won’t be forced to wake up in the middle of the night to stomp on American gunboat soldiers.

Alright, let’s skip to the details:

  • Sign-ups close on Saturday the 16th of April. Matches can start being played on the following day.
  • Open to everyone regardless of division and experience. Everyone will play in the same bracket and the seeding will be completely random.
  • There will be a North American conference and a European conference. They will stay separated throughout the entire tournament. This is done to avoid the ping issues that occur when playing between continents.
  • It will be a double elimination tournament.
  • Teams will play on servers provided through Community Fortress.

Be sure to check out the rule page for a full set of rules, maps and unlocks.

American matches will be casted by the guys over at eXtv, while TF2TV will be taking care of the European match-ups.

The maps will be played on a ‘1 map per week’ basis with a double elimination format, meaning that teams with a busy schedule should still find the time to participate. This also means that all teams will get to play at least two matches in total, since they will be moved to the loser’s bracket if they lose their first match.

But what would highlander be without prizes?! Our friends at Valve will be kind enough to provide the top 3 teams of each conference with some signed TF2 swag!

If you want a chance at winning these prizes or if you just want to play some highlander, head on over to the sign-up thread and join in on the fun!

    @emb I had that one at first of course. Those damn Germans convinced me to replace it with the German one. Life is hard, sometimes you have to make tough choices.
