As we reach the ultimate game of ETF2L’s 40th 6v6 Season, only two teams remain to compete for the crown of best team in Europe: European gerz and Norway Ora Elektro.

Witness Gaming came into this season as a team to look out for. They had built up a strong roster during the off-season, with the team’s main goal to perform at Copenhagen Games 2022 and Season 40 proving a good chance to make a name for themselves before the LAN event. Witness Gaming have shown off their power throughout the entire main season, achieving 28 points out of a total possible 30 for this season. Only one team was able to take any points out of their hands during the main season, and that was Ora Elektro.

Ora Elektro finished Season 39 in second place, losing the Grand Final to 4Toast, and with 4Toast not returning for this season many expected them to triumph against all this season. However, as Ora Elektro themselves know, being the favourites isn’t enough to carry you over the finish line. Last season Ora managed to edge 4Toast out in the Upper Bracket Final, but ultimately losing against a superior 4Toast in the Grand Final. Ora Elektro have been a name in the top level of TF2 for almost four years, but still do not have an ETF2L championship to their name. After such an excruciatingly long wait, will their patience be rewarded?

Ora Elektro and Witness Gaming came together in the final week of the regular season, playing cp_metalworks and cp_process_f9a. Both maps produced a tied game after 30 minutes, but Witness Gaming managed to claw a Golden Cap victory away from Ora Elektro: twice. Now with one matter left unfinished before the Christmas break, they’ll be playing each other again to decide at long last the winner of the 40th season of ETF2L.
