    Dear Teams,

    welcome to the semi-finals of the Highlander Open!

    From now on onwards there are no more fixed maps that you have to play for each match.
    Instead our “Map Elimination System” is used to determine the two mandatory and a third decider map.
    If you’re unfamiliar with this system you can read up on it here:
    http://etf2l.org/rules/general-rules/#10
    The map pool used for this competition can be found here:
    http://etf2l.org/cups/the-highlander-open/

    In case you have any further questions or the rules are unclear to you don’t hesitate to contact an admin via http://etf2l.org/help/support/

    We propose the following times for the match (using etf2l timezone):

    Friday, 02:00

    – or –

    Saturday, 02:00

    Considering your timezone of +6 and our timezone of -5 this puts both teams playing at a normal time of day. We typically do not play on weekends but you requested a weekend so we have tried to accommodate that request the best we can.

    Thanks and have a good one.

  3. n0mad said:

    We can play during the weekend (Sat/Sun) around 17:00-20:00 PM CEST.That’s the time we used for the last US team.

  4. n0mad said:

    You guys can’t be actually serious about playing at 2:00 AM in the morning on a Saturday or Sunday.

  5. _UC said:

    Its not 2am. I was told your timezone is +6… thats 11 hours difference from us, it should be a normal morning time for you on the weekend, just like you requested.

    You’re already getting the servers you want and the days that you want, your team is going to need to compromise something also you know…

  6. _UC said:

    I’d also point out that our team has never played on a weekend, ever.

  7. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    dont act like you didnt want to play on weekend , i made another suggestion ; maybe you didnt understand the time differance betwen us

  8. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    ever , you guys played 2 matches , all others are defoult wins

  9. _UC said:

    Glad you know it all, we played much more than that… other teams kept using unrostered players and getting themselves defaulted after the fact. But don’t let the pesky facts get in the way of your nice story.

    You guys are going to need to compromise. And mr ropecar, you said your timezone is +6, ours is -5… you tell me how many hours that spread is.

    I can push the time out to 2:30 I guess if you guys want to sleep in a little longer on Saturday?

  10. _UC said:

    And I’m not “acting like I didn’t want to play on the weekend” – WE’VE NEVER PLAYED ON WEEKENDS EVER.

    We play weekdays. That is why the Saturday time is about the best compromise there is. We play Friday night, and it’s Saturday morning for you.

    Seems fair to me.

  11. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    and the differance in houres betwen us is more like 6-7 dont know how you got 11 , last team we played against was on west coast and we played in 18:00 cest , the other team leader told me that that was mostly 9:00 – 11:00 to them

  12. _UC said:

    I really don’t know why you keep referencing the last team you played… that’s not us and has absolutely nothing to do with us. I don’t care if you played em on the moon in February, has nothing to do with this team or this match.

    You said +6 is your timezone. so here I’ll break it down for you.

    -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 = 12 timezones… which is an 11 hour split…. simple math is how I got 11 hours, not sure how you’re coming up with 6-7….

    Anyways, that’s the proposal. we can move it to 2:30 if needed but that’s about the only realistic time that works for both of us. Also, I would appreciate you behave in a more professional manner. Your team seems unwilling to compromise at all and has been extremely combative throughout this entire process. We’re compromising on server location and the day we play, as we usually do Thursdays and only had 1 single game on a Friday. You need the weekend for whatever reason so this is about the only time that works for everyone. I know it isn’t ideal, but nothing about this match is ideal for us either…

    Thanks for understanding.

  13. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    again 2:30 is silly

  14. _UC said:

    again, your time is silly for us.

  15. _UC said:

    also, feel free to leave a constructive reply.

    8:30pm for -5 is 7:30am for +6…. seems like a good time to me. Bright and early.

    Would you like to push it out another 30 mins, 9pm for us and 8am for you?

    What is possibly wrong with that other than the fact that your team is completely unwilling to compromise on anything?

  16. _UC said:

    NoMad, Can you please stop chatting me in steam and parroting the same thing about it being a euro league and the admins will give favoritism to the euro team so I should just do what you want… I don’t respond well to extortion and threats and wish you would knock that off.

    Be professional, courteous and flexible please.

  17. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    we are flexible you just act like we can make a deal here while you troll and act ignorant in steam chat

  18. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    and your team admins making posts how i am faggot and stuff like that and making fun of me is not cool

  19. gless: [{SNS}] said:

    We’re not trolling. Any other time isn’t going to work for us since of the timezone differences. We’re already playing on EU servers might as well agree to our reasonable time.

  20. _UC said:

    What post are you referring to ropecar? I have seen no posts insulting you. Link please?

  21. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    im not saying this is trolling

  22. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    maybe cuz you deleted?

  23. _UC said:

    You should quit with your childish accusations. I have deleted nothing sir.

  24. kryma said:

    Just fucking play it on Euro time, it’s European Team Fortress 2 League.

  25. _UC said:

    Cryma, I would ask that you stay out of this discussion as you are not on either of the teams involved.

    Also your language is uncalled for.

  26. gless: [{SNS}] said:

    Just cause it’s a European league doesn’t mean teams from other continents get less or more priority than Europe.

  27. Default Date said:

    Because this match has not been scheduled by either of the teams, a default date has been set for this match.
    The default date is: Saturday, 20 September 2014, 19:00
    Please play this match on the appointed time and submit the results.

  28. ETF2L Staff said:

    Dear Teams,

    please remember to disclose your map choices to us via the match comments to avoid any potential misunderstandings.

    Have both team leaders confirm the maps in the match comments aswell to prove your choices’ authenticity.

    On a side note:
    The match comments are for match related arrangements only.
    Stop using them as a medium for your personal disputes. If you feel the need to argue you can do that via private chat.

    If you want to file a match complaint or wish to speak to an admin you can do that using our support page: http://etf2l.org/help/support/

    Divide & Conquer have reserved ETF2L.org Server DE #1 by Hypernia.com for this match, the connect string is as follows:

    connect 212.83.57.144; password 1littlekittens

    STV: connect 212.83.57.144:27020

    EDIT: Wrong connect ,replaced with correct one

  40. _UC said:

    We’re using a merc for this match

  41. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    connect 212.83.57.144; password 1littlekittens this is correct connection string other one was wrong!

  42. ETF2L Staff said:

    Dear Teams,

    please remember to add scoreboard screenshots for both maps (badwater and upward).

  43. _UC said:

    UGC Silver in HL S12/S13 or 6v6 S14/S15 = Buddy

    Merc is S14 UGC silver

  44. ropecar5: B☆ said:

    ah, i didnt want to post talks with HEAD admins here but if you insist

  45. n0mad said:

    Due to the last update breaking P-REC,we have to take screenshots through the recorded pov demos.This will take a couple of minutes.

  46. _UC said:

    head EU admins OK’ing players that are clearly not allowed per rules into EU teams…

    Imagine that. I’m surprised. Seriously, I am.

  47. Hildreth: Pander - Pander said:

    If you spent as much time as you have complaining on actually preparing your team to win this match, you might have done a lot better. Focus on your own game, don’t concern yourself over minor details.

  48. _UC said:

    Average 150 ping vs average 40 ping and playing way outside our timezone on a day we never play is “minor”. This whole tourney is a scam.

    Also, Using people whom the rules clearly state can’t play is “minor”.

    Be real.

    “Even though this is a European centered event, we will welcome players from other regions with open arms. We will even try to place you into the same groups to ease the process of scheduling matches with your opponents. Against European opponents however, you will have to play on European servers at European times. The usual playing time for ETF2L matches is Sunday’s from 19:00-21:30 CEST. Make sure you are willing to (and can!) play at such times and on European servers before you sign up.”

    Both mercs are silver since the latest UGC season. The UGC season started at the 22nd.
    They have never played a silver match before this monday (2 days after this finale).
    I can see where the confusion comes from, but during the match both were allowed in the HLO.

    That said, congratulations to both teams for making it this far. We hope to see you in future cups and seasons!
