Highlander Season 7 Wrap Up
After a season split up by the holidays, we can finally reflect back on one that was filled with action. From the pre-season upsets during the TFTV Invitational to the very last games in the Premiership Grand Finals. The days that SNSD won every season are long over.
After a promising 3rd place in the TFTV HL Invitational Cup, Voodooh faced tough opponents, but got a break by barely securing a win over hePPa. But apparently they lost their drive as the season went on, and won’t be guaranteed of a premiership slot in Season 8.
hePPa had a rough season too, but winning a map in week 2 placed them in a relegation slot, and were going to battle over their premier spot against ResidentSleeper. However, the latter forfeited the match, giving hePPa a secure spot in next season’s Premiership Division.
The Highlander Season 5 champions Kill Switch were unfortunate to undergo big roster changes, that eventually led to them trailing off from week 4 and onwards.
Yet again Fair Enough barely missed playoffs. This team is held together by the power of friendship and HartzFartz yelling, Qnai telling him to shut up, and Blooddrunk clicking on heads. But four wins and three losses was not enough to move on.
The team that did make the playoffs was Stacked. the team led by the Irish Youtube superstar b33p had a decent season, but ended it by getting a default win from Kill Switch.
However they forfeited a point by accumulating so many minor warnings that it stacked up to a major warning.
This tied them with PremTech where a tense playoff game sadly left Stacked on a 4th place.
Ending on second place in the regular season, Highpander© had to defend their title no matter what. But holidays happen and roster changes meant that Hildreth couldn’t continue his habit of playing in the grand finals.
Moving on to the team that ended up fulfilling their promise of making top 3, PremTech made it to the grand finals.
The team with an American powerhouse with Nursey on medic and Kresnik on heavy tried to show how TF2 should be played. They got really close but they had to acknowledge that there was one team that bested them in the end.
On top during the main season, and eventually winning the grand finals was BreakfasT_Jr and a few others in Tourettes Chessclub

Btw Voodooh were 4th in the invitational cup, PremTech was 3rd
Bulow didn’t win best caster? Rigged.
Well, at least we know TR won fair and square, too bad the team is no more =(
I didn’t win best medic? What a joke…
17:42 – Hartz #deutschLAN: und noch kein #fuckhartz in den komments
#fuckhartz
Congrats to everyone!
How comes bulow isnt caster of the season ?!?
Why is it so hard to understand that we didn’t have a heavy, nor medic, nor an active spy to play the relegation *.*
Anyway congratulations to all the winners!
Congratulations all around, it was a good season!
I would like to say considering how community-driven competitive TF2 is, the whole Reservoir affair was poorly handled. Not communicating and simply sitting out the huge amount of (constructive) criticism was very disappointing.
Tactical Ragequit, forever butthurt.
Chess won 2 divs in 1 season
+1 to Selek, couldn’t have put it better myself.
Congrats to winners! :)
Who the fuck is damneasy?
I don’t consider this a real season because Bulow was not present.
Bring in Season 8 plz.
MOM GET THE CAMERA
Lol only 1 guy is player of the season in the winner team what a joke
Killswitch got 1 in season 5. Pandas got 3 in season 6. Chessclub got 2 in season 7. (quintosh + breakfast_jr). You’ll find the teams who win prem tend to have a very strong 9 player lineup, so it’s harder for an individual to stand out unless you play for Stacked.
I agree with lazybear that b33p should’ve been the mvp.
I agree with Lazybear’s sentiment that we should talk about Stacked some more.
We all agree
breakfastjr is only good because he gets all the heals
