Original, Playoffs, Banner Contest

Date March 18, 2012

Let’s get the most important issue in the history of competitive TF2 out of the way first: Yes, the Original will be allowed in Season 12.

Also, Valve listened to a combined call of the largest communities in Europe, North America and Oceania and finally created a subforum for competitive Team Fortress 2 in the Steam Powered User Forums. Check it out and start discussing our favourite game!

Playoffs

Now that that’s over with, let’s move onto the playoffs! As Season 11 draws to a close there is still one thing left to do for those who only just missed out on that precious guaranteed promotion spot (or dreaded guaranteed demotion spot).  The Premiership playoffs follow the trusted format where the top 4 teams fight for the title. The 4th placed team will play the 3rd placed team. The winner of that match will then have to play the 2nd placed team to decide who enters the grand final against the 1st placed team, and who goes home with the 3rd place prize.

Premier Division Championship Playoff

The schedule for the premiership playoffs is the following:

  • European Crack Clan versus European Team Yoyotech – March 18th – March 24th
  • Winner versus European Epsilon eSports – March 25th – March 31st or sooner
  • Winner versus UK Team Infused – April 1st – April 7th or sooner

Tie breakers

All tie breakers need to be played until April 7. If you fail to schedule your matches until Thursday, March 28, a default date will be decided by the admins. Remember that all players that have been added during week 7 or later are considered as mercs and need approval by your opponent. Using an unapproved merc leads to a default loss and a minor warning.

Division 4b relegation

Germany  Time 4 Fisting versus European  Team Colonslash: Classy

Division 4g promotion

Lithuania pgc Team versus Russia WinNerds

Division 5a promotion

Russia Green Elephant versus European Quick Team

  • Angel’s Cup – standard 6v6 setup, map pool inlcludes ETF2L Season 11 maps and cp_croissant, prize is 750 € for the first placed team by Angel

ETF2L Banner Competition

We have received an overwhelming lot of entries in the past two weeks, thanks to everyone who participated! We now had the unpleasant job of sorting out some images and present you the best 26 submission on the contest page. Every ETF2L user may pick up to two banners that he would like to see as the new header of the site. The admin staff will then pick the new header and the winner of a Tt eSPORTS SHOCK One headset out of the six most voted banners.

The poll is open until Sunday, March 25, place your votes!

  2. skeej: (ETF2L Donator) - UbeR | - Fe | said:

    Please fix the vote page, make the banners clickable for actual size!!! This is very important, because we see the banners at a size that they will never be used, and they are not designed like that (so banners with a little more detail will automatically be less appreciated).

  3. CanFo: (Legend) - [HA] - #T4F said:

    You can see the banners in full size by clicking the links in the poll. Maybe I will add hyperlinks to the previews as well tomorrow.

    fainT’s banner is nice and elegant,
    Kallio kept the old style but made it a lot nicer.

    Those two have my vote. =)

  6. AnimaL said:

    Old (remade) style banner vs new look, really can`t decide which one is better.

  18. minimoose said:

    I think the TT esports logo in the Kallio logo should be moved so it isn’t so close to the medic outline, I think its positioning makes it look too cluttered. There is space in the upper right or put it where the multiplay logo is and move that one up a little.

    Other than that it’s the best.

  19. anti2 said:

    make pre-season cup with non-vanilla weapons, thats will be fun )

  20. kustom3: AwS - DA! said:

    <3 Lassi Patanen's banner

  21. Luzik: Suoli - moog said:

    How do I shoot from the middle with demoman or medic?

  22. Asskicker: GoT<3 - HoT<3 said:

    So silent crits are solved?

  23. Dummy said:

    heheh. shouldn’t be happy a cup with good prizes will be abandoned, but I am anyway. fuck the 5v5 + unlocks idea, retarded – especially since s12 is starting soon.

  24. qkls: qkls said:

    Kallio is da best

  25. Selektionsfaktor: Dr. med. said:

    I like Kallio’s banner a lot as well. But why are there 21 stars? Why not 12 (number of stars on the Flag of Europe) or 27 (number of members of the EU right now)?

  26. skeej: (ETF2L Donator) - UbeR | - Fe | said:

    Luzik: You can’t, but the opposing demoman and medic can’t either, so I don’t see the problem. It’s like asking “how can I shoot stickies with soldier?”.

  27. n1ven: exo. - Fight Club said:

    Nunez the BEST!!!

  28. MInd: [hePPa] said:

    Finally soldier is playable.

  29. ( /ʃɔ’jɛ/ [↘↗] ): keso said:

    Ban original pls, keep the current banner pls.

  30. baerbel: trick17 - trick17 said:

    yeah i agree, original makes soldier too easy. you dont need any skll for your rollout anymore

  31. slate: (ETF2L Donator) - AMG said:

    Next up: Gunboats and Equalizer

  32. dougiie: CotC said:

    PAUL POWER YEAH BOI

  33. . said:

    i don’t have a problem with the original. if people cant aim without it then so be it.

  34. atomic said:

    I’m wondering why do you need 3 weeks to play prem playoffs. Next season will start in the mid/end of april and we won’t finish that season before summer/exams, so many teams will just fold.
    Am I right?

  35. allig4t0r: starlight said:

    Phife has cute logo but number 2 must have same height as letters. If that will be so I’m for him.

  36. toogyboogy: (ETF2L Donator) - SOFT - bobs said:

    Paul Power looks like the pepsi icon, Copyrights anyone???

    Like atomic said. +1
    Just one or two weeks and then go, but no 3 weeks, because the season wont’ finish before the exams, and in my case i’ll go inactive…u.u

  38. Luzik: Suoli - moog said:

    skeej: I’m playing demoman and enemy soldier has imbagun which makes everyone perfect at shooting rockets. I can’t deal with that thing.

  39. Ghostface: spire said:

    I honestly wonder when everyone’s gonna update their whitelist now so we can play with that gun.

  40. Traxantic: TLR said:

    Kallio’s so good, represents everything nice and smoothly :)

  41. Paul: CotC said:

    “Paul Power looks like the pepsi icon, Copyrights anyone???”

    No I don’t!
