Insomnia 49 Fundraiser, Wildcard Bugs & Bans

Insomnia 49 Fundraiser
Everybody who was on site or who followed the coverage of last August’s Multiplay Insomnia 46 LAN in Telford, UK, will probably agree that funding two American teams to attend the first ever international TF2 LAN was the most amazing thing the community of our favourite game has achived so far. I am saying “so far” because we now have a chance to better the i46 experience!
For Insomnia 49 (August 23 to August 26 2013), Australia’s reigning champions Team Immunity have expressed interest in attending and the chance that it is going to happen is looking very high right now. But this is not the main reason for this post. TeamFortress.TV is organising a fundraiser to send one North American team over the pond once again to compete for the £5,000 guaranteed prize pool at i49! Over $4,500 of the goal of $10,800 have already been reached, every little bit helps to make i49 a truly international TF2 LAN!
If you happen to have some money lying around on your PayPal account from your last shopping spree in the Steam Store, we ask you to consider donating whatever you can spare to the fundraiser. Think about how you would feel if the fundraiser is that one dollar short of its goal at the end and the American team does not fly over to play some of the finest TF2 you would have seen because of you? Let it sink in for a moment and then get yourself some more information on the fundraiser at TeamFortress.TV or head directly over to the donation page at indiegogo to donate for this great cause, and receive some nice bonuses as a thank you!
While rushing to donate, don’t forget to purchase yourself a ticket! There 20% early bird discount is still in effect. Head over to the i-series’ site to purchase a ticket or get more information on the greatest gaming festival in the UK.
Wildcard Bugs
Some teams participating in Highlander Season 4 powered by BlackOut Gaming have been reported to be able to use two wildcards, although every team is supposed to only have one wildcard total. If you encounter this issue, please refrain from using a second wildcard for your own team and report the issue instead, so we can add the exceptions to our bugtracker.
If a team uses a second wildcard that it was not supposed to have, the original schedule will be reinstated by an admin. Please help us doing that by reporting any use of a second wildcard you come across. Regardless if a second used wildcard is reported or not, the wildcard is considered invalid, and teams should be prepared to play on the original match date.
Bans
The following players are now banned from all ETF2L competitions for 1 year:
bestsniperworld – Triggerbot/VAC ban
Horizon – Triggerbot
Any attempts to bypass a League ban will result in an even longer ban on all accounts associated with the player. Don’t do it.
Matches in recent seasons that involved these players will be changed to default losses.
ohhhhhh Australian team? nice.
where it is held?
Epsilons turn to beat the crap out of them … if they dare to come that is :>
Broder fundraiser when?
what’s a triggerbot? a modified aimbot?
triggerbot = shoot when crosshair is on head/model
aimbot = move crosshair to model
…. roughly.
“Broder fundraiser when?”
CHICHO: THe i49 LAN is in Telford, North England.

Broder ought to make one then, start streaming games, getting involved in the community and making it happen.

Did the prize money they won last time go towards repaying the fundraiser? Or will the prize money this time if they win?
Hey why don’t we get an African team maybe from Nigeria? I hope that the TF2 LANs won’t turn out to be this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rqI8xwXVac just because we want it to be more international…
