Rules clarification

Mercs
As we did not announce Highlander Season 8 yet, Season 7 rules will apply for the cup. You will be allowed to have one default merc. However, you can use more than 3 mercs, if your opponents agree with it. Please note, that every merc has to be presented and accepted on the respective match page nonetheless.

Maps
Abusing a map exploit where the player is able to get behind the BLU spawn on keikoku is not allowed. Any team caught doing so will receive a default loss.

Map update

Since the original announcement post on sunday, cp_keikoku_pro_rc1 has been released and will be used for the cup. Make sure you have that version downloaded and in your mapsfolder as well as on your servers before the cup starts!

Whitelist update

The whitelist has been updated. Please make sure you upload the latest version of the whitelist to your server.
The new whitelist is available here

If your team is using serveme.tf as a server provider, you can select the new whitelist when reservering a server. Go to League Whitelist and select etf2l_9v9_onc6.

If your server is equipped with tftrue, you can load our whitelist by typing
rcon tftrue_whitelist_id 3091
Both teams have the responsibility to check if the correct whitelist is loaded before each round. This can be done by typing ‘status’ in console if TFTrue is loaded to check the whitelist ID

Coverage

As usual, our highlander streams will be casted by BlackoutGamingTV and will be made available on their youtube.
So tune in and watch all the action, scrap.tf has set up a raffle bot in the chat, which will post raffle links specifically for you viewers to win awesome in-game items!
