Nations Cup #5 powered by Tt eSPORTS
It is that time of the year again – time for the best players of each country to band together and prove their country is the best!
The Cup will feature a Group Stage and a single-elimination Tournament, and will take place throughout July, August and September, with a break for i52. Each country will be represented by one team consisting out of players of the same nationality, led by a Captain chosen through the applications process.
Team Captain Applications
Captain Applications are now open.
National teams are created and managed by Captains chosen out of submitted applications. Each Captain will pick the best possible roster from amongst their countrymen and lead their glorious squadron to victory. There are no restrictions on which players you can field in your team, so long as they are of your country’s nationality and are eligible to play in ETF2L.
To apply, send an email to [email protected], explaining why you should be your country’s captain and describe your planned national roster. Applicants who have experience leading successful ETF2L teams and a good reputation in the scene will be given priority. This should be self explanatory but you should include at least your nickname and your ETF2L profile link in the application letter.
Captain Applications will close on Monday, 7th of July at 23:59 CEST. Only approved Captains and their National Teams will be added to the competition.

sick , logjam is a very promising map with tons of potential in the future. At the moment some of the top premiership players of this season and some other dribbles are helping the map maker hyce to improve the map almost on a daily basis. If you go through this tf.tv thread http://teamfortress.tv/thread/14370/cp-logjam-5cp/?page=2 you will see the different stages of building the map and how it evolved throughout the past couple of weeks. This is the logjam forum post for etf2l http://etf2l.org/forum/maps/topic-29427/page-1/#post-504785 and if you guys want to watch us play this map you should check out this VOD of Starkies stream: http://www.twitch.tv/stark62/c/4550483
Help us improve this map and give feedback to the map maker in his etf2l/tf.tv thread, but dont expect someone to listen to you, you prolly suck at tf2.

Thanks to Tt for supporthing this , big shoutout to CanFo!
