Welcome everyone to the conclusion of the 19th season of ETF2L Highlander for Open, Mid and Premiership. As there are still matches to be played for Division 1 and Division 2 tonight their respective playoffs will be added later tonight.

We hope you enjoyed the matches, and for the teams that made it through, congratulations.

All tiers will have playoffs, all playoff matches will be using the Map Elimination system. Note that all dates are estimates and teams are able to negotiate other days by scheduling with their opponents.

If you find yourself on the list of these teams expect an admin to add you and request your availability, if there is no information or insufficient information given we will have to decide your match dates for you. Keep in mind that we will try and accommodate both teams, but the match date may still vary from your provided days, if for example none of the days match with your opponent, but your opponent offered more days than you did. Deadlines listed for the matches are flexible and may be changed in certain situations if admins are contacted about allowing extensions on these.

In less than two years since I had joined ETF2L in 2013 as a normal player like everyone of us, I had applied myself to a 6v6 League Admin position that was open in 2015, ever since that day I’ve been able to have an unforgettable experience being a part of this league growing up within the current state of TF2. However from this day onward I will be resigning from my duties of being a Head Admin in the league after being involved in the league for over 4 years, more than half of the time I’ve even been able to play TF2 for.

I’ve always wanted to help out everyone in the league with any concern that has come up a discussion whilst still caring about the top level competition that this game also has, however as I have lost the personal interest to keep that up I still do have high hopes for the current ETF2L staff on being capable to still run everything smoothly. If you do not believe that, then I dare everyone who doubts that to apply to an admin themselves! I know >99% of the people who will read this won’t do so, but I will be positively surprised of that <1% that I hope to see in the trial admin position soon, most hopefully as a proper league admin even.

Anyhow, during my time here I want to personally thank Aoshi, DCS, Sonny Black, Permzilla, Menty, Moist, emb, Amaterasu, Lazybear, soda, Morphine and proky for making my time here as an admin enjoyable. Not to mention the other former and current admins I had not mentioned here, you all are valuable for keeping this legendary project up!

For the third consecutive time, Se7en and Ascent.EU will face off in the ETF2L Premiership Grand Final. Due to the new playoff system, it will also be Se7en’s first appearance since the end of the regular season over a month ago thanks to their 1st place on the scoreboard. It will thus be a cold and collected Se7en side facing off against an Ascent.EU squad that has been on a upward trend, and will surely be eager to prove that third time’s the charm.

If Se7en might not have played in a month, we’ve seen a lot of Ascent.EU in the playoffs so far. Despite coming off a lukewarm regular season where they placed 3rd, amppis’ alpinists have managed to climb their way from the bottom of the playoffs, and have looked nothing but confident on the way. After dispatching a tenacious but ultimately not dangerous Ora Elektro, they faced off against Faint, the only team to beat Se7en this season. A previous clash had seen the two teams walk away in a tie, but this time Ascent.EU looked more prepared, and the affair was over in two, admittedly close, maps.

Catch a preview of i65, a nail-biting game, the clash of two dynasties, and some overall fine TF2 by tuning in !
