Announcing Season 18 powered by Tt eSports
For most teams Season 17 powered by Tt eSports is over, and they can look towards preparations for the next season. For the top2 teams there is still the final to play, however there won’t be much time for the winners to brag – here comes Season 18 powered by Tt eSports!
Due to the longer seasons, the signups are opening slightly earlier than usual. So we are giving you the schedule for Season 18 extra early so you can all get prepared properly!
Signups: April 20 – May 1
Publishing of Provisional Divisions: May 2
Publishing of Final Divisions: May 3
Schedule Week: May 1 – May 10
Main Season: May 11 – June 28
Catch-up Week: June 29 – July 5
Playoffs: July 6 – July 26
Please note that Playoff dates are subject to change due to tiebreakers and other unforeseen circumstances.
With 2 weeks until signups open we are confident everyone has enough time to prepare their team, or find a team to play with! Rosters will be unlocked after the Grand Final on Thursday 10th April. Other details about the season will be coming over the next couple of weeks!
Banner Contest

The winner will also receive a Tt Cronos Gaming Headset generously provided by Tt eSports by Thermaltake!
Here is what you have to do:
- Create a banner with the dimensions 590×295

Following that we will have a community vote to decide the top5. From these top5 we will pick one banner which will then be the official Season 18 powered by Tt eSports banner.
go go go
clashes perfectly with my exams, ul for me
Hype!!
give us a break
YESSSSSSS;
Welp this clashes with my exams rip
Postpone it please, a lot of people will be unable to play due to the exams (including me)
I agree with this, hosting Season 18 in May is a silly thing to do. Everybody including myself, will be taking exams. The teams that would like to play in S18 may not be able to for this reason. So if we could postpone until June, all the exams will b over by then (hopefully), I think everybody that is going to play in ETF2L would be a lot happier.
Exams or videogames…
hmmmmmm
A lot of people have exams in June / July as well, pretty much every country has slightly different schedules or systems. So I dont think it’s as easy as simply postponing it.
Also last years’ season was also May 5 – June 22 and pretty much no one complained
“oh no this clashes with exams pls postpone”
>season gets postponed
“oh no it’s summer nobody is available”
do you even want a season or not? exams is a stupid argument anyways, you have enough time to study even if you play videogames 2-3 hours a day.
just to clarify, I don’t think etf2l should postpone or any shit like that, was merely complaining ez
omg I am moving house in May can you postpone pls
I don’t have any exams, next year baby!
Will it clash with Nations cup btw?
@popcorp
The playoffs will clash with Highlander Nations Cup.
The final week of playoffs will clash with 6v6 Nations Cup
At least that’s a provisional schedule, we’ll probably review it again.
Please move this, nobody really gives a shit about Nations Cup that much, if you have the season so close you will greatly lower the quality of new teams forming. You will be forcing teams to quickly merge and prem will be shit again.
We don’t want another Ayo gurl
It’s hard really, cos as a league we want to fit in so many things – 3 season of 6v6, 2 seasons of HL, Nations Cup but people have different schedules and priorities. You delay it a week, it makes little difference to most people, you need to delay it a month to really make a difference but if you delay it a month, we can’t have Nations Cup…
I guess you got to look at the schedule and decide if you can play, gaming is only a hobby remember.
It’s less about clashes with Nations Cups, and more about pushing it through summer too much, we don’t want another AFS.
remove the fucking catch up week please
at least in prem because it affects the play-offs too much
All good. Just for the love of god – let the maps be known NOW and not when season starts and everyone shits himself because there is some map no one has ever played.
screw the nations cup
AFS was a disaster. So either we have the season now or next September.
Stop whining.
coalplant gogogo
im hoovering the living room in may, walking the dog in june and taking a shower in july, please forget that last year i asked for more seasons, i have important things in my life now
Wait, people actually spend full days studying for exams? If you need more than an hour or two every day, maybe you should have paid attention in class. Let’s play videogames guise pls
Damn >< Exams on s18, that sucks soo much
no wonder you are a smelly nerd spike
scissors4president
Exams
How many entries can you submit for the banners?
very early
@Linus Are you going to i52? :D
ya, u wanna fight??!
Another banner contest, the creations from the last one didn’t even get used. Hope your not gonna waste our time with this one.
I never played more counter strike than when I had exams. It’s impossible to study all day.
No, Linus. I’m going to hug you.
Before I shower.
rofl linus u are a little fgt
go to the gym instead of i52 fgtnerd
spike my true homie

+100000
Guys it´s not the studying, it´s the overall stress from exams and after taking exams whole day and studying in between you are tired as hell
I hope that cp_sunshine & coalplant will be played, instead of granary and viaduct.
cp_sunshine ftw <3
Where are my medals ? I can't play next season without my Crown cork !
please no sunshine, just play it once when you’re not a flank class. it’s like an open field
had fun in the cup as demoman^^
don’t think it’s gonna be fun for medic/pocket though:p
Just remove the extra 6v6 season. Two 6v6 and two HL seasons should be enough.
It’s just plain retarded to have each season clash with previous and next season; 4 weeks of overlapping. I doubt anyone wants that.
