Loading ...Sign-up Process
Division 1 and 2 remain in place. Teams looking into playing in either of these divisions will need to sign up to High tier when signing up for the season. If teams would want to specify to which of these Divisions they want to be placed in, we strongly encourage teams to send in an application to us with the said method below.
Make sure to choose your desired tier when signing up for the season in the sign-up process. If you created a new team, feel free to apply for the tier you believe you deserve you should be in. To prove you are capable of the tier you applied for, we require you to submit screenshots or logs of results from your recent practice matches or tournaments where you scored decent results against teams that play on the level you aim for, send an application to [email protected] (details listed below) with a suitable subject. Emails with subjects like “Hello”, “Hi” or anything else that cannot be identified as a team applying for a tier by mail may be ignored. Teams signing up for the high division are advised to send an email whether they have a preference to either play division 1 or 2. If no email is send by a team signing up for high they will get placed by admins based on the roster of the team.
Additionally, since it happens time and time again, you do not sign up by mail, you sign up on the site and apply by mail if you are a newly formed team playing in anything higher than Open.
The quantity of screenshots or logs is not the most important factor in this case, it’s more of a helpful measure for us to figure out if your team will be able to keep up with the pace. There is no magical, minimum or maximum number of screenshots or logs that you have to submit.
When sending links to logs on logs.tf or similar it is highly recommended that you include a short explanatory comment for each linked log, e.g. who your opponents are supposed to be and where they played last season. Also helpful for us, but not a must, however, is adding who the opposing team is in each screenshot or log (and maybe even the division they played in the last time). That makes it easier for us because sometimes it can be quite hard (especially in the lower tiers) to figure out who the teams in the screenshots are. We will not accept plain lists of logs without any comments!
Please note that the success of your request also strongly depends on the free slots in the tier you aim for. Established teams will be favored over new teams or teams that request to jump a tier. The screenshots have to be uploaded to an online image storage service (for example, you can use Imgur or Dropbox). Keep in mind that if you opt for zipped archives with tons of pictures attached to an e-mail, your application will be ignored. Keep it clean.
If you are applying for Open tier (which is our entry division), you do not have to provide any proof that you are capable of playing at that level.
Please send your application to [email protected]. The tier assignment request has to include the following information in order to be considered. Incomplete applications will be ignored!
- Do not use HTML in your e-mail. If you want to add a link, just
paste the link in the e-mail as you would enter it in your browser. - Team name
- Team link on ETF2L.org
- Tier you are applying for
- Link to the online photo album with comments
- Reasons why your team deserves to be placed in the tier you applied for (optional)

process 7/10
+ashville -coalplant ;-;
unban fos
can you pls make an option “0” for warmtic ? the worst map ever made
ash>coal errday
coalplant > ashville
coal > ashville
just put the old koth maps in and replace gully with propaganda tbh
if you rate ashville above coal you deserve a 1 year ban
process 7/10
Process 10/10
ashville > coal :))))
dont really wanna play warmtic tbh
Please don’t do process I don’t want to suffer
lakeside kinda pog doe :o
Normally I’d say Coal > Ash, but this is the renewed Ashville with no build in shutter so I’d definitely favor that. I’d say you should definitely check up on that version before voting based on whatever exp you might’ve had in UGC or w/e.

Why process instead of one of the koths, not instead of gully? And why is gully untouchable and sacred? To be honest, I’d rather prefer to play another pl or koth or maybe attack/defence cp instead of exciting bigdoor group masturbation party.
0 to process, lakeside and ashville. Lakeside feels a bit too sniper map, ashville < coal, and process hl is a joke. If you love 5cp that much, propaganda was awesome.
Clearcut seems good. Coal and warmtic are ok.
Ash>coal
pls warmtic and lakeside pls
fuck gully
can we replace badwater with literally any of these maps or will it stay forever in rotation
Can we have barnblitz_pro please?
Yes please, all I need is one more 5cp to play and nobuild ashville. Let’s get nobuild stairs on badwater 3rd and upward last to make spy’s life easier. Just add lakeside instead of gullywash. bollocks
wtf is clearcut and assvile doing there dont u dare add that trash in the rotation lakeside is playable and so is process idk why ppl hate warmtic its fine map coal>>>>>>>ASSville
Replace pl_badwater_pro_v9 with pl_prowater which is better in every aspect.
^
Hey uh… Can you add prowater please ? Some people like me really want it.
imagine asking gamers for ashville or warmtic but leaving badwater pro in favor of prowater or vigil bruh
Can we have prowater in the list
-Gullywash; +Propaganda
could we get prowater?
prowater >>> badwater_pro
Get Gravelpit back in
prowater > badwater
lakeside > gullywash
coalplant > assvile
put prowater version
I wanna see pl_prowater in map pool s22
coalplant > ashville
lakeside > gully
Process highlander pls pls
coalplant>trashville
kill badwater
gimme f*cking prowater…
bro add prowater its awesome
-badwater +borneo
99% of custom badwater maps are worse and the remaining % is about the same.
5cp is just an awkward game type for highlander, (also why its never played in mixes), so i dont understand why gullywash is untouchable.
UGC did not have 5cp this season, so as far as i am concerned UGC now has better map pool than etf2l LOL
prowater > badwater
lakeside > gullywash
anything > process
lakeside-gullywash
product-koth_clearcurt_b15c
pl_upward-koth_warmtic
pls
+prowater -badwater pls
replace badwater with literally anything that is being voted they are always gonna be better than badwater
but please get process in and keep warmtic :)
PLEASE no lakeside
if 5 cp *has* to be included, it’d be nice to have it be propaganda instead of gully, but having coalplant/ashville *and* warmtic instead of a 5cp map would be better
You guys sayin that you don’t like gully right. Admins won’t get it. You need to use their language.
GULLY POO POO MAP, US NO WANT GULLY, US WANT GOOD MAPS.
lakeside is better than all
no lakeside ewww,… maybe process (but instead of gully pls), clearcut is a neat idea, keep warmtic pls, and stick to coal?
I prefer prowater over badwater pro
prowater and lakesidepro r good
i fucking hate coalplant, i legit feel dread everytime i gotta play that LMAO
gully>process in hl
lakeside>ashville>coalplant
