Scout 2on2 cup postponed

When first blood was introduced in arena mode, we held a vote between the participating teams: should we continue with this cup with first blood, or not? The results of that poll, which you can find [here], were very clear: It was a no.

This means that the scout 2on2 cup will be put on hold for the time being. No matches have to be played. We will hopefully see a cvar to disable first blood in the near future, after which we can continue.

New default date system

We are currently transferring to a new, and hopefully better, system to notify the teams of a default date set for them. From now on, when we set a default date, it will be posted as a comment on your match page. Additionally, you will receive an email notifying you of the default date.  The  default dates for the week 7 matches and instagib cup round 2 matches have already been handled by this new system. In time, this will replace the long lists of default dates posted in a newspost on the front page, which i’m sure not everyone reads. But for now, we will still list the default dates on the frontpage, the old way, so you can get used to the new system. Please check if your email address is entered correctly in your profile [Profile link]. Without it, you will not be able to recieve emails from us.

4th cup winners

The 4th cup is over.  127 matches have been played, and 1 team came out victorious. That team is Team Dignitas. We would like to use this moment to congratulate them on their victory. They had a very exciting final match against Team Coolermaster. It was only decided on cp_granary, the 3rd map, which Dignitas won with the smallest margin possible: they won it 5-4. It sure was an exciting game to see.

The cup has been archived, for a full overfiew of the cup, you can go to our hall of fame page: [Link]. Thanks to all the participating teams, it has been another fantastic cup.

Scout Update

After checking the changes and new features which came with the Scout update we have the following changes in our running competitions:

• Season 4: All Scout unlocks are allowed for Week 8 and further matches. If both teams agree, the unlocks can also be used in previous league weeks.
• Instagib 4on4 CTF Cup: As the Instagib mod is broken for now, the whole cup is put on hold until further notice.
• Scout 2on2 Cup: As the new “First Blood” feature is changing the gameplay of a Scout 2on2 match, we decided to start a poll in our Forum. All participating teams are allowed to vote whether the cup should be put on hold until a cvar against “First Blood” is published or if we should go on with “First Blood” included. The cup is put on hold until the poll is over (Sunday, 1^st March, 23:59 CET).  [vote here!]
• cp_fastlane: The new version of cp_fastlane that came with the update will be used with immediate effect.

Instagib problems

After the latest updates to TF2, the instagib mod does not work properly anymore on linux servers. When this will be fixed is still unknown. As many people are running a linux server, this poses a problem for our cup.

We ask windows server owners who are willing to lend their server for a few instagib matches to contact us. This way the cup can continue. If we do not find enough windows servers, the cup will be severely delayed, however we will try to continue the best we can.

I’d like to ask the involved teams to try and play their match as soon as possible,to make sure the cup can keep on running with minimal delay. If you are in need of a instagib server because yours is running linux, please contact an admin, so we can try to find a server for you from the  list wel will hopefully have available.

Do you have a windows server with instagib on it, and want to share? Do you need a server for a match?Please contact an admin. you can find us in our IRC channel #etf2l . We will appreciate your effort.

4th Cup finals

The 4th cup started last november with 128 teams. We’ve seen a lot of good matches, and a few steamrolls aswell. That is all in the past. There is only 1 match that matters now: the finals.

Team Dignitas, winner of the first and second ETF2L cup will be trying to claim the title for the third time. However their opponent isn’t the easiest one. In the finals they will face  Team Coolermaster, winner of our 3rd cup and season 3 runner-up of our league. They surely will want to prolong their title. The match will start monday, february the 23rd at 21:30 CET. Make sure you don’t miss it!
