This 15th season of Highlander has seen a surge teams both new and prosperous and veteran to the premiership pool. The influx of fresh talent has made for an interesting season as far as which team has seeded where.
:elephant:
Rising above the rest and with great comparison to their name, :elephant: stands at the top of the table, remarkably having a perfect 30 point run in the group stage (one of the best group stage results we’ve seen for a long time in ETF2L Highlander). Despite being a “new team”, the roster is mostly an amalgamation of former premiership powerhouse Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! with some former Highlander legends filling the gaps. Notably, the pick up of the notorious pick class Der_Milchmann who has gone to great lengths to deliver consistent results against the competition despite taking a long break from the premiership division.
Other standout players this season include, soldier JackyLegs who currently is leading in kills per minute and reaching second in damage per minute throughout the season. anni has also had no trouble holding onto the best heavy currently in Europe, completely dominating the competition. Currently he holds the highest kills per minute, damage per minute, least deaths per minute and amazingly least damage taken per minute. Needless to say engie extraordinaire cherryrendezvous also holds the current top spot for both kills per minute, damage per minute and second in deaths per minute.
This behemoth of a roster is certainly a mighty challenge for the remaining teams fortunate enough to squeeze into playoffs. Read the rest of this entry »
The round of 16 match may be rescheduled onto Sunday if both teams agree. Results do have to be submitted before the start of the next round which is at 18:00 CEST.
Welcome, everyone, to the conclusion of the 15th season of ETF2L Highlander for Open, Mid, High and Premiership.
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.

Quarter final matches will be played from 23rd April – 28th April.
