    Welcome to the Highlander Season 33 (Spring 2025): Low Quarter Finals!

    This match will be played as a best-of-three.

    Both teams need to agree on who eliminates first. If the two teams cannot agree, they need to perform a heavy fist fight. The winner of this heavy fist fight can decide if he wants to start of if the other team should.

    Maps will be decided using the following Map Elimination System:

    Team A bans a map
    Team B bans a map
    Team B picks a map
    Team A picks a map
    The winner of a heavy fist fight gets to decide from remaining two maps.

    Good luck for both teams!

    A disgraceful lack of sportsmanship intentionally stalling just to scrape out an unfair advantage. It’s cowardly and spineless behavior. This team clearly has no pride, no honor, and no integrity. It’s embarrassing to watch a team like this.
    DO BETTER!

    Insanely lame and disrespectful. Good job lads, nice low playoff win. Fair and square. And another ETF2L classic.

    Just to put this in perspective a bit – we played 6 games due to both vigil and ashville being extremely close and some of the vigil defences being very long. This took about 2 hours, which is fairly reasonable for 6 matches in our opinion.

    You proposed a 20:30 scheduling which is earlier than the standard 21 time, which we accepted. If you didn’t have enough time to play you should have rescheduled to a different day, which to my knowledge we offered to do.

    Regarding the delays – we have, for the entire season, insisted on heavy fist fights every game because we find it enjoyable to watch and play them. It didn’t occur to us at the time that we were delaying the start by doing this, and that was a mistake on our part.

    We have discussed this and agreed we should have made an effort to start the game faster, but you could have given yourselves more time as well.

    say what you like but your actions show how desperate you were for a default against us. 2h30m for two maps is bs no matter which way you slice it, and everyone knows it. gg and enjoy your “win”

  16. Bliss: DMX - BRIT said:

    3 x Vigil + 7 x of ash and you guys are surprised about a 2 hour time. Cry about heavy fist fights which we have done all season as our tradition. From what I see you didnt expect to lose thought it would all go your way and where upset when you couldn’t have 20.

    That’s fine. What we were not fine with was consistently waiting the maximum time (15 minutes before, 10 minutes after every map, 5 minutes after every round), even going over the maximum time at some moments.

    “You proposed a 20:30 scheduling which is earlier than the standard 21 time, which we accepted. If you didn’t have enough time to play you should have rescheduled to a different day, which to my knowledge we offered to do.”
    There is no “standard time”. In low most teams play at 20, it really just depends on the availability of the teams. The only reason you accepted to play 20:30 is because I told your team leader that the admins would schedule it at that time anyways. Interesting how your TL tells me anything before 21 is IMPOSSIBLE for you and then you all magically show up anyways. As for rescheduling, neither team could play over the weekend, and on other days we would still have the same issues anyways. You have to realize not everyone can play until midnight (in their timezone), some of us (not me) have responsibilities.

    “Regarding the delays – we have, for the entire season, insisted on heavy fist fights every game because we find it enjoyable to watch and play them. It didn’t occur to us at the time that we were delaying the start by doing this, and that was a mistake on our part.”
    “We have discussed this and agreed we should have made an effort to start the game faster, but you could have given yourselves more time as well.”
    This is so incredibly disingenuous. You knew exactly what you were doing, the point was to waste as much time as possible because you knew my players wouldn’t be able to play late at night. Admitting that it was a mistake now changes nothing.

    Your comment also doesn’t mention the general lack of sportsmanship during the match. A random pause, being toxic in chat (you can look at the logs), lying about reasons for the delay/heavy fist fight. For me, it is just very disappointing. I’m not exactly sure what we did to you, or maybe you just treat every time like this, but this is extremely dogshit behavior. We knew going into this match that we were the underdogs, despite that we performed very well. Had we gone to product, I believe we would have won, but that is just my belief and I don’t really care to convince anyone of that.

  21. Cyanic: BRIT said:

    “What we were not fine with was consistently waiting the maximum time”

    All I can say in response to that is that we didn’t do it intentionally. Any pauses between rounds were due to players taking genuine breaks. I also don’t think we waited the maximum time each time, it felt fairly normal for me.

    “In low most teams play at 20, it really just depends on the availability of the teams.”

    Yes, we were not available at 20. We were available at 20:30 hence accepting it. You were not available for the full time the match would take at this time and shouldn’t have proposed that schedule if you couldn’t play it. Playoffs games can take an extremely long time – there was a recent prem playoffs match the other day that finished at 00:45. I will also note here that all of us also have responsibilities and work the next day etc. so we didn’t want to be playing late either if we could help it.

    “As for rescheduling, neither team could play over the weekend, and on other days we would still have the same issues anyways.”

    If you are significantly time boxed in the evenings then you will always have this issue regardless of the team you are playing against. See above, you need to allow as much time as you can.

    “You knew exactly what you were doing, the point was to waste as much time as possible because you knew my players wouldn’t be able to play late at night.”

    As I said in the original comment, at no point did any of us propose intentionally delaying. We did choose to take heavy fist fights in line with what we’d done in the season previously. We could have skipped this given your time pressure and I will admit we should have done that.

    “Your comment also doesn’t mention the general lack of sportsmanship during the match.”

    The random pause in pregame was my fault. I have a pause bind to ensure I can pause asap when enemy team requests it, which I accidentally pressed. This wasn’t intentional.

    I have also reviewed the chat logs in response to this and reminded our team not to be toxic in the chat.

    I appreciate that this wasn’t the ideal way for this match to go, but I promise we did not ‘fish’ for this outcome or otherwise delay in any way outside of the hffs, which were something we could have done differently. I also appreciate you don’t believe this so if you want to discuss it with me further please DM me on discord.
