Highlander Season 6 powered by Tt eSports: Provisional Divisions

Date February 28, 2014

The Provisional Divisions

The provisional divisions for Highlander Season 6 powered by Tt eSports have been released and can be accessed here:

>>> Highlander Season 6 Provisional Divisions <<<

If you are not happy with the division that your team has been placed in, please contact an admin using the Support Page as soon as possible. Keep in mind that much like during the signup process, you must provide evidence of your ability to perform at the level of the division you wish to enter. This means, at minimum, a screenshot album displaying performance of your team against other similar-skilled teams. These pictures can be taken from PCWs, scrims, cups, other leagues and so on.

Every team with less than 9 players by Monday 3rd March may get replaced. Please make sure you have enough players in your roster by this time.

    Beat favourites for div1 in scrim. Get put in div2. What.

    well we were using 3mercs and it is a pcw (3rd scrim for us since s05), but i do think you are div1 material.

  3. Solitude' said:

    beat a team that got put into div1, we got put to div3.. wtf dat logic

  4. nijoonen: Gaston - 8-) said:

    Potential Highlander Team kinda deserves a div 1 spot, atleast by looking at the roster. But I guess they didn’t have enough screens or the risk of a fold is to high.

  5. Munky: AEUGH said:

    Nijo we have screens against Splendid, Breakfast and TC. While they weren’t perfect screens they were enough to show we can compete in that division. TBH enough to show that we could be in the mix to win the division. Throw on top of that teams in div1 applied for div2 then the decision looks utterly insane to me.

    Wouldn’t usually vent on a comment like this but it is 15 minutes since I got a response on IRC.

    Screens plz

  8. Carlos Kaiser said:

    Only 120 teams signed up.
    And UGC has 108 active Euro teams atm, heh.
    If we don’t count the American teams in ETF2L and assume a few teams will drop then EU UGC will have more teams than ETF2L, i feel uncomfortable realizing this.

    Team Nein! in div1?

    MY DIV 2 CAREER STARTS HERE

  16. Snooki: VDOH said:

    XD GG DSQs leader told me they didn’t.provide screenies but they have 1-3 players with D2 exp and the rest D4 2nd place and they get in D2. And the rules say ‘you MUST provide evidence’ ggwp. I guess it’s just the leaders being friends with league admins ^.^

  17. Alex_jj said:

    PremTech in 1st?
    I was missed this season,but according to results even they better than munkey’s/WASP teams?

  18. Scissors: (ETF2L Donator) said:

    Pretty disappointed when I saw this, to be completely honest.

  19. Pistolvania said:

    So much negativity. I think higher divs look pretty good. Only thing I immediately see that strikes me is that Team Nein! is over WASP, when WASP beat them in UGC.

  20. Deox: myx - wL. said:

    We have screenies beating 4 teams in d1 and we are put in d2, sound logic admins. Not sure if the name of the team threw you off.

  21. Snooki: VDOH said:

    Bad divs, bad map pool and bad timing for start of season. :D

  22. Asaaj said:

    Oh man we are in div 1. Gotta be fun.

    Why are there so many people hating on Team Nein? Unheard of.

  23. Python said:

    WASP in div 2 but Nein in div 1 after losing to a div 3 team, 3-0? ggwp n1

  24. Solitude' said:

    I think nein is alright in div1 but there are a lot of teams that deserve the spot aswell. also the season is unpopular becauase of the poor timing, take that to consideration next time

  25. Python said:

    Just my opinion, you should switch chimpanzees and Nein with PHT and WASP.

  26. Carlos Kaiser said:

    @the season is unpopular becauase of the poor timing
    If under poor timing you mean TF2 in 2014, then i agree.

  27. Asaaj said:

    But theres only eight spots to fill the division. Not our fault.

    I am not gonna start a shitstorm here. We did not ask to be put into div1, but we got put there anyway so we’ll take the chance. After the season we’ll see how undeserving we are.

    Let the results from etf2l speak instead of basing it on ugc matches where we still experiment with our roster. I know that’ll sound like a poor excuse, but that’s all I got for now.

    Now excuse me gentlemen I got some anime to catch up on.

  28. jakeowaty said:

    There are always gonna be people moaning about that shit, and those are usually the only ones to post.

    Gotta deal with what you have, if you disagree, contest with admins. Pouring out your soul on here won’t change a thing. :)

    Wow, tried to sound reasonable and I sound hostile. :C

  29. Tomu: BoyBrigade - MEGA$$ said:

    Munkys team to roll div 2 without trying.

  30. Bulow: GG said:

    Tomu with the kiss of death, remember the last time he predicted a team to roll a division…

  31. Deox: myx - wL. said:

    It seems the admins favoured teams that signed up sooner than others rather than proof of skill. Why would it matter what time teams sign up as long as its before the deadline? The decision should not have been made before the deadline, all sign ups should have been taken into account after the deadline at once.

  32. Permzilla: (Legend) - (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ - WiK? said:

    It seems like people are making things up without any actual facts.

  34. Nikel said:

    Deox still not prem? Mistake! Tragedy!
    PS: Hate u <3

  35. Hildreth: Pander - Pander said:

    Since I no longer admin – Deox, that’s not how it works. I know from experience from the first 120 signups, you will be considered, assuming every roster is full and able to compete (least 9 registered players on the team). If at least 1 isn’t, if no other teams sign up, 7 teams will be put on the waiting list until they are, I am not sure if this is the case or whatever but THAT is the only instance admins would base who can play unless you sign up after the deadline then you’re automatically on the waiting list to replace dropped teams.

    ADMINS do not favour teams who sign up sooner in terms of skill level, as long as you sign up within the deadline or if you are one of the last few to sign up and therefore not enough teams are remaining to make it a multiple of 8.

    The division placements are generally defined by your ETF2L RESULTS – If a team like Team Nein lost to WASP in UGC, don’t mean shit to ETF2L, we like to think teams earn their spot through previous results in previous seasons, hence why Team Nein are in Div 1 and Wasp aren’t, Team Nein won their division, WASP came 3rd.

    Yes there will be inconsistencies, the point of the Prov divs is to find them and establish them, I imagine everything brought up will be discussed again…Since I don’t really know any teams below top Div 1 level, I can’t comment.

  36. Bulow: GG said:

    There were only 3 spots in div1 up for grabs, all of which were taken by established teams with a prior history. Unless someone else had results significantly better than those teams then it’s unsurprising that a newly formed team doesn’t get put in ahead of them.

    More importantly, fuck Hildreth for stealing piddox, causing SDW to fold and making me play against Americans. A warning to all, and a chilling pattern is emerging after he butchered Colony last season.

  37. Deox: myx - wL. said:

    Sorry for coming out that way, I only came to the assumption that is what happens since I spoke to some admins who stressed that we signed up sooner than later to help chances for divs applied. Don’t know why i would be told that if it didn’t matter. I only say this here because I was hoping to have someone correct me and make things clear which you did, so thanks. I wont bug admins again.

  38. EmilioEstevez: GG said:

    Potential Highlander Team look very strong for current div2. Also lets hope ‘murcans don’t fold like they always do.

  39. Oxy: TC.Express said:

    After a long talk with Munky and some discussion with some of the other leaders of div 1/2 teams, I can only come to the conclusion that the admins are…. trying to think of a polite way to put this…. making absolutely retarded choices?

    Like please, I use to do some of the provisional divisions when I was an ETF2L admin. Munky was told that he signed up later (but BEFORE the deadline) and this put him at a disadvantage. What a load of old crap. As long as you sign up before the deadline, you should be considered equal to everyone else who signed up. The ONLY exception to this should be if there is not enough teams for another division, in which case they take their place on the waiting list, but that should not effect the DIVISION they signed up for, only whether or not they have a spot in the league.

    I’m not sure what more I expected from ETF2L atm though, lets face it our head admins are currently perm who backs some really ridiculous points and emb who doesn’t even play TF2 anymore, bravo.

    Lastly I heard you lacked highlander admins. Well, I re-applied ages ago for HL admin and you didn’t even bother to warrant me a response, so thanks for that.

  40. Snooki: VDOH said:

    DSQ signs up on the day the apps were out with no screenies – they get their requested div (unless they sent them after they applied which don’t think they did.)
    No Future signs up two or three days before sign ups close with 5 screenies – they get the div below they requested.

  41. Blooztah said:

    How can you just go out and say that we didn’t provide screenies? I provided 4 screenies and I’ll gladly link you them.

  42. NULL said:

    HL season 5 :
    Beat half div 2 teams, we won Div 4 with no lose, DSQ came third of this div :
    HL season 6 => DSQ/Div2 sBooB Team/Div3

    OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAY.

    )

    And the funny fact is we provided like 15 screens/logs.

    Yes i am mad yes.
    I am serious business. I take videos games seriously.

    Btw and honestly, we deserve by far the Div2 spot.

  43. Snooki: VDOH said:

    Sorry Blooztah I don’t speak Parseltongue you snake.

  44. Pistolvania said:

    Keep the hate coming 8)

    We’ve replaced 5 or so people, just for the record, H.A.R.D. It’s just provisional divs that are out too.

  45. Snooki: VDOH said:

    Replaced them with othee D4 players lel Which I happened to make the opportunity for them to improve, done that in 3 teams and 2 of them Blooztah just happens to steal just like he did in the UGC plat team he is, always stealing players ;D

    Shut up Pistolvania, go drink alcohol then inject marijuana and vandalise Oslo – remember to take a knifen incae anyone challenges you (even though you did 3 years of karate) cause you wouldnt want to make your MILF cry

  46. Spade said:

    Snooki upset because he got d3, that we rolled you in a scrim yet you think you deserve a higher spot

    Lol spade i just happen to carry a d2 scrim so d3 will be ez considering I have a job now so I cant afford a lot of time. yah gg beat us with 2mercs and sub in a scrim gg :D

  49. Spade said:

    if you want to bitch about it just come on steam, don’t do it here

  50. Bulow: GG said:

    This is literally all Freakie’s fault.

    I don’t know when I got upset but if you want to be sore about it that’s your choice

  54. nijoonen: Gaston - 8-) said:

    If you want to be taken on a more serious note talking straight to the admins is probably smarter, or atleast say something that makes sense in your post, like Oxy and Munkyman for example.

  55. Snooki: VDOH said:

    I think it was when I kept calling you a snake and then apologised cause I lurv you

  56. Linus: [d¿s] - 007 said:

    I’d suggest to stop embarassing yourself. But do carry on, it’s funny.

  57. ThaZimmer said:

    PHT in div 2. Wut, I think they’re good for fighting for the div 1 champs.

  58. Snooki: VDOH said:

    Wheres Klaudia???

  59. Dandere said:

    I sent a long and informative email to etf2l admins ^^

    Yeah EU people going have fun to play against americans with 269ping.

    Team ⑨ only for d3!? we won like a scrim.

  61. Hildreth: Pander - Pander said:

    Go Bananas look Div 1 capable, Sad Panda, M4rk, Skyride’s brother Deox….lot of strong players in that roster. If they got good screens definitely worth reconsidering imo.

  62. konr said:

    As hilarious as it is hearing Go Bananas rage about their placement in mumble, they definitely deserve a spot in div 1 more than some teams that are in there. Move ’em up boys!

    Freakie would be happy if you added him and talked about issues at-length no matter how trivial

    Clearly an admin to be admired for such commitment

  66. gbdonhowe: Da said:

    Snooki grow up please, stop complaing about one team. Don’t understand why most people can’t just be civil and state their belief/claim why to be certain div without insulting other teams above them… Admins can’t please everyone

  67. Flood said:

    Go bananas I think should be considered but the 3 screens aren’t amazing seeing as breakfast is recently reformed iirc so not as they once were. I know they beat spld on via pro but then you need to take into account the scout merc with a broken mouse the sniper merc with horribad fps and the merc medic who’s been playing heavy for the recent past, Calling into question the validity of this screen. Then there’s the one vs TC which idk the full story apart from the fact they’re trying to sort out a heavy.
    No doubting the skill present on their team but it seems screenshot choice is the factor here. I’m assuming that posting the exact same screenshots on this thread won’t prove any point either
    But hey. New team first season is div 2 there’s no issue with just winning the season as they expect to and moving on with the experience
    I don’t really think there’s much of a reason to be upset

  68. Flood said:

    But yeah looking at all the posts on here it just seems like something that should be taken up with admins directly instead of whining on here. It’s just seeming to be a bit immature to suggest the admins favour people sign up earlier because I applied for d1 on like the 25th ish and got it. It’s their league and it’s a difficult job placing all of these teams in divisions based on the applications and past etf2l experience.
    Maybe lay off accusing and just take the cards you’re dealt and work a season at a time

  69. Dandere said:

    Here are logs of Breakfast Club outdamaging KillSwitch (Prem Winners) on Viaduct and taking a round off them: http://logs.tf/192601?highlight=76561198033727092
    Here are logs of us beating Breakfast on Lakeside: http://logs.tf/197954?highlight=76561198051369028

    I’m looking at solid evidence instead of hypothetical ideas. The breakfast roster is actually strengthened from last season, Flood :)

  70. BoneSponge said:

    It really strikes me that snooki is the kind of person which not only looks down on other teams because of personal reasons but boasts about him carrying his own team which is entirely beeshit.

    Bloody fucking hell, you don’t learn to shut up do you snooks? Running your mouth like a tap as always

  71. Candle said:

    Mia, Jamal had like 200 ping and Snow was afk for most of that game :D

  72. Candle said:

    looking at rosters and results it looks like bananas should be div 1, though.
    with deox, mark, panda, python, korv..

  73. Alex said:

    snooki being an idiot as always. bananas are way to strong for d2 though

    People like to get mad

  79. Toba: (a boT from the North) - Lutunen said:

    Maybe Lets Go Bananas should be in div1 but their are only 8 spots and they are filled atm so whom would they replace? Also maybe take this up with the admins.

    @Mia

    um you do see that we were using 2mercs and 1 sub and that viaduct=/=lakeside, and this was our 2nd pcw day since S05. If PCW’s and screens would matter that much we had a 4-1 win against KS on gully last season, why are we not in PREM? :P

  80. Toba: (a boT from the North) - Lutunen said:

    And also SOLID (<-Ze player) evidence

  81. Russian Guyovich: (Surging Meat Cable) - [T-A!]LoS said:

    Just win Div 2 and prove your point?

  82. Toba: (a boT from the North) - Lutunen said:

    :DDDDDDDDDDD

  83. Munky: AEUGH said:

    @Toba Team Nein and Chimpanzees were both knocked up into div 1 without asking for div 1. A strong team was pushed down into div 2 against their wishes while two teams were pushed up.

    Not having a go at either of these team as they are both great guys and us being moved down a div has nothing to do with them. I just can’t comprehend how that could happen. It isn’t a case of there not being enough space and its why people on our team have been so angry about it honestly.

    Will try to leave things now and hope they work themselves out.

  84. Blooddrunk: Nein said:

    :D

  85. Toba: (a boT from the North) - Lutunen said:

    blooddrunk is beast sniper maybe that’s why? ;D

  86. Xabi said:

    As I wrote somewhere else the majority of our team is from Osmoz and we ended 3rd in Div 2 last season without really practicing. We were also on a fight to win Div 2 with Dig Deep and Breakfast. As Dig Deep is not playing this season I think we have every rights to be put into Div 1.

    You’re calling yourself a strong team but you don’t even a full roster yet, you have some great players tho.

  92. Tuto: 8-) said:

    Lol yeah, just play the season and prove what you’re capable of?

  93. Solitude said:

    But then other teams in that division who actually want to play normally and try dont even have a chance to win if theres a team that deserves to be way higher? I think a few changes should be made.

  94. Toba: (a boT from the North) - Lutunen said:
