People have been begging for a Highlander Cup to push new maps and possibly mix up the map pool for quite some time. Finally one comes along and it picks three maps nowhere near suitable for comp play.
Just seems like a total waste tbh.
i’m not sure if anyone actually looked around fuel before suggesting it would work in HL
I just want people to remember sniper is a class.
Oh and demoman. Man fuel is well built for highlander! Good choice!
missing koth_brazil there, but yay anyway! i love custom maps!
I agree with munky, what is this
Not here on 12th ;_; I wanted to play dem koth
shit game mode on shit maps? Don’t mind if I do!
ehhhh thursdays again…..
why no koth_artic/koth_warmtic ? :C
because arctic was played in comp already, they are EXPERIMENTING new maps for comp. scene, that’s why it’s EXPERIMENTAL cup
please not thursday, wouldn’t saturday be a lot more convenient for most?
Other than that, #hype
#nohype
Thursday is like _THE_ day for anyone who has after school activities :(
Sorry, I forgot Thursday is European After-school activity day :>
On a side note, we want to have some fun and play these untested maps. Tough luck if you’d prefer other maps. This is just a fun cup, not a season.
pl_mariocart plz 8(
will play for food in any team there B)
This is what we’re trying to figure out. From the early playtests we’ve done we concluded that these maps were better than the others.
We need to rotate maps into the upcoming seasons, but the main problem we’re facing is that there are no active map makers for comp maps.
No active map makers for comp maps?
Hi, Hyce here… intermodal is mine, also have Log Jam in the pipeline after it… you people give good feedback, you can sure as hell be sure I’ll be active.

why 2nd cappoint on intermodal is capping so fast?
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
i guess i have to be a team leader?
saturday pl3x
Who the fuck thinks that sniper isnt a class?!?!?!?!!!?!?
is it full now?
Trying to get the team together but nobody wants to play those maps. gg
I hope that some czech and slovak teams will participate too. More about the cup here(in czech).
Do we have to play the matches before the given time? Or will we be able to play as soon as the other team is ready?
You’re right b33p, next time we’ll have Badwater in the Experimental Cup.
matarazzi, the time is when each round is scheduled to begin, usually in One-Night-Cups there are delays, so it’s simply waiting for when both teams are ready.
yea beep you god damn retard
what timezone is it?
Kim,
All time zones are stated in CEST (GMT+2)
Isn’t CEST GMT+2?
Indeed, sorry about that.
Amended. :)
