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)

fuck lakeside ngl……………………….. :'(
“fresh wind”???????????????????? none of these maps are new nor fresh, they’ve all been played
there are so many actual GOOD maps that havent been played either ever or in many seasons, lakeside is completely broken with sightlines from spawn to spawn and general aids spamfest that everyone hates
ty admins very nice map pool wish i could be you so i dont have to play it
where signup button
re: the cup, prowater is worth testing vs pro_v9 and I’ve been in favour of vigil and ashville for a long time. I think lakeside has been proven time after time to be a bad idea, though. RGL has even attempted to run pro versions of it and the results are always the same.
with that said it’s good to see more commitment to rotating the map pool.
add borneo
lakeside feeling kinda weirdChamp
Ban the wrangler
no warmtic, potential for ashville without shutter gun and red tape unban?
give team now
Welp, any new map beats playing the same maps every season. So I’m happy
REMOVE LAKESIDE REMOVE LAKESIDE EVERYONE FUCKING HATES THIS MAP PLEASE REMOVE LAKESIDE NO ONE WANTS THIS NO ONE WANTS THIS

Warmtic,map with a really good positioning on close distances.
Lakeside,orange x3 100% crits,randomizer,x1000000,vsh,death run.
Nobody asked to add a lakeside to the SEASON rotation, NOBODY. People have already suffered after playing ugc.
cya s24!
only 1 payload map in highlander !!! very nice
Gullywash, Lakeside, Steel… If I had a rifle, I would’ve shot myself.

I have to agree with 4hp here.
It’s nice to see commitment for a change, but lakeside turned out to be a – simply- bad map throughout the leagues.
I would advise the Staff to reconsider putting lakeside into the final map pool and add bagel instead if the KOTH game mode should be kept.
The changes in the whitelist is rational and was a must to implement – thank you for improving the gameplay for us, players.
remove lakeside
sketis u actually had to read past the bit with 2 potential payload maps to get to the bit with one confirmed payload map
no lakeside
badwater out, lakeside out.
vigil in :)
imagine adding lakeside but not sd_doomsday

people cry about no maps being changed and now they finally do and immediately people start to cry again like bruuuuhhh, just stop playing at this point lmao
Everyone who said or says remove lakeside after this comment has a tiny wiener
REMOVE LAKESIDE REMOVE LAKESIDE EVERYONE FUCKING HATES THIS MAP PLEASE REMOVE LAKESIDE NO ONE WANTS THIS NO ONE WANTS THIS
ideally keep the criticism constructive rather than spamming
remove gullywash add warmtic back
Keep gully best map
dw giving constructive criticism doesnt do anything with admins like theese anyways
more koth please
also remove lake
etf2l is dead
All these people wasting their energy complaining about Lakeside to get it replaced.
Use your energy more wisely and complain about Aoshi so he gets replaced by catman!
Big thanks to admins finally removing gully after a few years of us complaining. Oh wait.
gully is good, add actual good maps to freshen it up like vigil or something
BUT DW GUYS I THINK SNIPER IS TOO WEAK LETS ADD A MAP WHERE LITERALLY NOWHERE IS SAFE FROM THE SNIPER UNLESS UR IN SPAWN :DD::DD::D:D
Only 1 payload map in highlander when its the only competition type to use payload seems a bit weird so this is going to be an “interesting” season that’s for sure. I’d personally like a minimum of 2 always at least but hey ho
I thought I had successfully killed lakeside for good… :(
there wont be just 1 pl map, 2 maps will be added after the cup, vigil or one of the badwaters and one of the koth maps (coal, ash)
I have 2 dads,I live in Trance and I enjoy taking dicks in my ass
I complain about toxic russians and stupid racists!!!! yes i hate them
My gender is battle helicopter but everyone hates me pls ban them
add me on twitter https://twitter.com/IssacFoxHusky
i love lakeside i met here my first bf
its really good and funny map for ppl like me
ignore others,we need this map!!!
