Highlander Season 22 Premiership Qualifiers!
August 20, 2020
The Highlander Season 22 Premiership Qualifiers are hereby announced. 
Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! and 
inVision will keep their Premiership spot based on their performance in the last season. Based on the applications we received, we have decided that the suitable remaining six teams that applied for the Premiership tier will have to qualify for a spot.
The teams in the Premiership Qualifiers are:
9IX
Pizza Police
kiti s bakenbardami- Temporary Difficulties
- Feila eSports finanzieren durch
- SUPER ULTRA CRAZY KILLERS
The matches will be split into two brackets. The Upper bracket, where the four higher seeded teams will face each other for two direct spots into Premiership, and a Lower Bracket, where the two remaining teams will wait up for the losers of the Upper Bracket. The losers of the Lower Bracket matches will proceed into Division 1.
Note: after reviewing the case more thoroughly, we have decided to switch Feila eSports finanzieren durch and 
SAMII SHARTING SCHOOL in the Premiership qualifiers and Division 1 respectively.

Whitelist Update
- Unbanning the Gas Passer.
- Banning the Nose Candy cosmetic for Pyro due to a bug turning the Pyro’s head invisible.
After some consideration we have decided to unban the Gas Passer. We would like to remind all teams that exploiting the bug which allows you to throw the Gas Passer through walls will lead to punishments.

So basically nothing changed ,what a joke. boomers don’t like changes.
another season of fucking awfulwater man…
warmtic lool
same mappool 3rd season in a row :eyes:
ETF2L: let’s delay the 6s season to next year to allow us for more time to experiment and test things out
Also ETF2L: let’s have the same map pool we’ve more or less had since S15 of HL because of a ~6% difference in a vote that will be heavily skewed since people just choose options 1 or 10 and nothing in between

thats great now make the 6s season happen sooner
the motherfuckers that keep voting for the same fucking maps are looking like real clowns right about now
@Adje, here you have the data without the 1’s and 10’s
coalplant 66.35%
warmtic 65.32%
ashville 59.68%
lakeside 58.86%
process 53.35%
clearcut 50.85%
the 1-10 voting system is a giant meme

If you are interested in the results which do include the 1’s and 10’s voters, it’s:
coalplant – 70.56%
warmtic – 68.23%
ashville – 57.10%
lakeside – 56.54%
process – 51.94%
clearcut – 42.86%
I personally would have enjoyed a s22 in 6 weeks (i know its long for HL and people probably has better thing to do) but those week 6 could add 2 news map like pl_virgil_rc7 or lakeside, and boomer can keep their old maps.
I’m just saying that because s37 won’t start before next year and we could have potentially extended S22
If you really wanted to change something, map pool should have been done differently
1st step: decide the 2 lowest loved maps which will be removed from season
2nd step: choose among a selected map pool which will change 100% the 2 lowest voted
anyway, good season to everyone :)
will admins cuck me 2 seasons in a row with qualis
its funny how they let us vote and decide on maps ourselves, and we still find ways to complain.
nothing changed but I like it
maybe just rotate a map each season?
no lakeside :(
no lakeside :)
eh if people vote for the same things no matter how the vote is presented, it’s their fault. Kinda disappointed that so much of the hl community rejects change and experimentation.
No process? Yikes.
For once i agree with proky, I think a wildcard map that changes each season would keep it interesting while keeping the general feel of the season as expected. Could be voted on.
2 of the worst teams playing eachothers in the upper bracket match lmaoooo

@TK_ ofc, so they can get 1 more chance of trying
Idk how they decide which team is higher seed, probably they roll the dice or some shit. :D
Those seedings need some explaining tbh
Where is Skull and Bones
bruh
seeding is bad
[Yesterday, 12:25 AM] gambit: we should be in upper bracket [Yesterday, 12:25 AM] Basil’s Creed: the seeding was properly discussed and is final
“final” = changes the next day
remove one of the best teams in the bracket while one of the worst is in the upper bracket, I wonder why…..

maybe some leaders should have put more work and effort into sending logs and this wouldn’t have happened
5+ times 2nd place premiership demon man jonathan newcastle and a bunch of div 1 winners actually needing to send logs and screenshots to prove he can play the game at that level
Absolute state of this league lmfao
gawk gawk on my glizzy woman
Feila have 2 consistent top 3 prem players on their team and half of the div 1 winners team and are in a lower bracket than teams that have barely have experienced players for prem.
This is such a weird choice and would like to see who and why decided this lol
sure they have top prem players but do they have admins rostered? i dont think so
grrrr angerrryy

“[12:25 AM]Basil’s Creed: the seeding was properly discussed and is final” didnt age well bro
Who tf voted for warmtic??? mge me
wheres my lakeside
“If no email is send by a team signing up for prem they will get placed by admins based on the roster of the team”
In the original seeding I was one of the few that had sent in logs, teams that hadn’t sent in logs were indeed seeded based on their roster.
It looks to me like some staff are spineless and won’t stand by their own rules and decisions
I’m here to have fun, am just sad to see so many players here badmannering and my own team being disappointed :)
Just chill and remember that the game was made for entertainment please
ill give u a hat if your team makes it past week3
@sintyre
“In the original seeding I was one of the few that had sent in logs, teams that hadn’t sent in logs were indeed seeded based on their roster.”
They weren’t. Even if you disregard scrims results which overwhelmingly favor VVV & Feila as Upper Bracket teams, seedings based on rosters had also been done incorrectly. Both VVV & Feila have more players on their respective rosters who had either played prem or been in a top div1/high team before than your team does.
“It looks to me like some staff are spineless and won’t stand by their own rules and decisions”
It doesn’t say anywhere in the rules nor in the season announcement post that teams sending logs get seeded higher than teams who don’t. The final decision is still up for admins to make. Sending logs in its essence is about easing admins’ work and guiding them in the right direction, that’s it.
Also, professionalism doesn’t necessarily indicate quality (or honesty for that matter). Just because your team did their due diligence & sent logs while other teams didn’t doesn’t mean admins should forget about their jobs and not do their own research. After all, it’s not that hard to fake logs and it’s been known to have happened in the past. Or, cherry pick a small number of winning logs, which, as the proof suggests, is what happened in your team’s case: https://i.imgur.com/Uhun3rS.png
