Hey there, I have proposed a date of Friday night 9/29 for 05:30 CET (I think), which should equate to 10:30pm CST (Dallas). It’s a first cut at this so let’s work this out as best we can.
Thanks!
I will ask the members of my team and get back to you asap, but it seems like a good time. Do you have a server in mind? We all play on the East Coast USA, so that would be 11:30PM for us.
Hey shinigami,
Thanks for the reply. We have a server in Dallas. Most of us are spread out from Central to West Coast. The server is setup for everything and we even have a Source TV relay for backups and friends to watch on. Details on that later.
You can feel free to give the server a try. It is setup to have deathmatch mode for warmup. Then upon entering some commands in chat, the match will start. Setup slightly different from default Valve tournament mode. Please have your folks check it out. The IP:port is found on our Team page here.
Favor on the comms here, please check Challenge box below the Reply Box here. Then I get an email that you’ve replied. Thanks!!
Hey MjrNuT,
After talking with my team, most of them aren’t able to do it this Friday. They already have something planned that day, and this event kind of just came up last minute lol. Are you free same time this Saturday 9/25 (11:30PM EST/5:30AM CET)? And do you know when this has to be played by?
As for the server, yeah we don’t mind using yours, but we’ll let you know once a few of us play on it. Do you know how to use the stopwatch for the cp and pl maps we are playing?
Let me know if you need anything else.

Hiya,
Saturday looks ok for that same time. Allow me to confirm on that…end of Thursday though.
The HL just announced the Group play. See the Homepage of the site here for the News post. Looks like this Week 1 actually starts Monday 9/27. Thus have until 10/4 to complete. Sorry if I was over-anxious. Let me know if you’d like to push out, that would be fine.
Server: I know how to do the configs for these type of maps. I run a comp. server continuously, so not just for this event.
Hope that helps and don’t feel pressured. Let’s have a good time.

K thanks for the info. Please try to keep both this Saturday (9/25) and next Saturday (10/3) open. Some guys from my group are having trouble with this Saturday, but we still might be able to play. We are leaning on the october date though. I should be able to let you know by Friday at the latest.

Yes, Saturdays are typically best for us anyways. I can field a team for 9/25 and sure I could for 10/3 as well.
On your part, since I proposed initially, you have to either ACCEPT 9/25, or Reject followed by NEW proposal.
Whatever works for you in that regard. :)
Hey,
I wanted to be sure you did indeed mean Sunday 10/3.
Thanks!
I’m sorry, I mixed up my dates. the etf2l uses euro calendars so i saw the far left as Sunday, when it was actually Monday. I intended for our match to be SATURDAY 10/2 at 11:30PM EST (which would be 5:30AM Sunday 10/3 in Europe, and 10:30PM Saturday 10/2 CST)
Does this time still work for you?
Oh I see. Yeah no problem as I can see how that could happen. LOL
I went ahead a proposed 10/2 for same time. I think we are ready then for this upon you Accepting now.
The time you proposed is actually 11:30PM EST on Friday night, which we can’t do. We want to play at 11:30PM Saturday night, which for etf2l time line, would be 10/3 @ 05:30 (They are ahead of us EST by 6 hours so it would be the next day already.) I re-proposed with the corrected time.
I accidentally miss clicked and accepted your proposal. Please accept the new proposal I made (10/3 @ 5:30AM)
Wow…you and I are a pair of sausage fingers. :P
I have accepted the match time and day.
No matter what…we are agreeing to Saturday 10/2 @ 10:30pm Central ST.
I will provide more server details later on. Thanks Shinigami!
I’m sorry to keep bothering you about this, but the time still says 10/2 which would be on Friday, which we cannot do. Can you please check one more time. It has to be 10/3 5:30AM. If it’s a problem with the site, then I’ll get an admin to help us out.
Thank you for your diligence. It should be noted to not look at these things after 11pm local time. :P

10/2 @ 10:30pm CST = 10/3 5:30 am CEST
Hey Shinigami —
Some general questions for you.
1. You aware of how to handle any drops/timeouts from the server? (e.g., server pause and/or backup joining)
2. You all aware of recording client demos?
3. Our team can defend first on Dustbowl and then Attack first on Upward, unless you feel differently. Other alternative is to do a team or solo melee fight to decide who chooses. Let me know what you’d like to do there.
I think that is all I have at the moment. :)
1) I understand that both team get one “pause” but i dont know the server command. I also understand the backup situation for drops/timeout, but the player has to be on your roster. You can only use someone outside of your roster if we both agree on it i believe. Or was that just for using upper level players (fyi we all don’t play competitive so we dont fall under that category.)
2) I understand we all have to record demos from first person, dont know about the source tv view the other matches tend to have.
3) Sure we can do it that way.
Just let me know server and password when its ready. I plan to get the team there around 10-15 minutes before game time. Otherwise lets have a good game.
1. Open client console and just type: pause
Repeat to unpause. The rules are pretty elaborate on notification for it too. Such as a message beforehand to say a pause is needed with reason as well as a message to say unpause in X seconds. Max pause is 5 minutes.
Subs can only come in on map change or player drop.
Merc rule is 3.5 in League Rules section. Yes you are right…must be agreed by both of us where player is NOT on roster and team is short of 9. That is the best I understand it.
2. I will have the server demo created, which is what the source TV performs.
3. Sorry for my confusion as I put up 2 ways to start the match and not sure which one you desired.
Server IP:port is on our team page: connect flashrage.flamesandash.com:27025
Password to be provided later since this section can be seen by the public.
Server will be run with public commands actually. Please just check this thread out for an idea, but I’ll add you on Steam or if you have a voice server I can explain better for you later on tonight.

You guys can defend on dustbowl/attack on upward first.
As long as you are taking care of the server stuff, I’m fine with it. I’ve added you on steam. See you at 11:30 EST.
I should be available between 9-11 EST before the match it you need anything.
Just a quick clarification. All items that were released with the polycount pack are NOT allowed in the tournament.
Thanks for the great match. Sincerely apologize for the initial server issues as I blame the PolyCount update. Everything was working fine the previous 2 weeks! Apologies to the other team, while being gracious with restarts to continue and play on.
Kudos to yourself as the medic, as well as Pope (spy), Jaxl (solly), and your Sniper.
If there is anything we could offer to help, then please let me know.
Good luck and see you on the battlefield in whatever form it may be.
