Little info – SNSD and Ginyu are facing up for another EU v HL showmatch, I may try to make these every new ETF2L season. The match will start at 22 CET (4pm EST, 1pm PST) on Saturday March 9th and will be casted live on TeamFortress.tv by DJC and Admirable with huhy streaming.

Maps will be Badwater, Gullywash and Lakeside if needed, rules will be ETF2L (best of 3 Badwater, 30 mins, winlimit 5 on Gully and best of 5 rounds for Lakeside. Unlocks will be the same as UGC with the exception of Beggar’s Bazooka, the server will be NY to keep it as fair as possible under the circumstances.

Gutted I can’t play but now SNSD have an excuse if they lose.

Of course there should be a showmatch EU vs NA at the start of every season…

Ideally it should be at the start of every UGC season, because UGC is the main Highlander league and it should be used as a comparation between the HL scenes at the start of every season.

Anyway, can’t wait for it :D

We have more signups for Season 4 than there are in UGC EU currently.

still, collectively UGC moves a much bigger player base than just ETF2L HL, and it would be a awesome promotion tool for both the league, the HL scene and both sides of the pond scenes.

Quoted from Linus

i doubt that in eu ugc is the main leauge, at least in higher divs.

Never understood why tbh, UGC is much more organized in the sense that they have a much more interesting map pool every season (even if that means completely new out-of-the-box maps) and a coherent ruleset (not saying etf2l doesn’t have a coherent ruleset, just that UGC as a much more experienced league, has it better).

I can say that we simply don’t have time and interest for two leagues.

Quoted from Russian Guyovich

A bit off topic, but BlackOut Gaming are running a showmatch scheduled a few hours before this:

The streamer is new to streaming TF2 but this will be good experience for him, so tune in if you’re bored during the evening.
