Welcome to the Highlander Nations Cup #9.

As we had stated a while ago we’re trying to change up and breathe a bit of fresh air into the nations cup. After a few weeks of discussions with the varying countries expected captains we’re ready to announce the competition. Some final details will get announced in the coming weeks.

The main change is allowing extra teams for countries. For more information read further down.

Extra Teams For Countries

While the main roster and team page will be awarded to the country’s main captain. We’ll be allowing countries to field extra teams. Rules for extra teams are the same as any other team participating.

Your players need to all be from your country, admins might ask for proof of nationality if issues arise.

In order to make an extra team for your country please follow the application process below so admins can make you a roster as you won’t be able to do so yourself. Make sure you clarify that you’re applying for a extra team with a written out roster.

Captain Applications

There are no restrictions on which players you can field in your team, so long as they are of your country’s nationality and are eligible to play in ETF2L. We are not allowing players to change nationalities. If you have previously played for a nations cup team, 6v6 or Highlander, you are locked to that country and may not play for a different nation. If you have any questions, please contact the admin team.

To apply, make an admin request, explaining why you should be your country’s captain and describe your planned national roster. Applicants who have experience leading successful ETF2L teams and a good reputation in the scene will be given priority.

Captain Applications will close on Monday, 7th July at 20:00 CEST. Extra teams can still apply until the 12th of July.
