I remind you that we have our first round of the Elimination stage and I invite you to join me in a game of competitive this evening (~8pm CEST) on the maps we're playing in the official tomorrow at 21:00 CEST.

We are playing three maps:

pl_upward (1st)
cp_gullywash (2nd)
pl_borneo (decider) - the list of links for this map has been recently updated - check it out

The Fifth round of HLO#2

Jakov — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 13:59:31 +0000

Our first knockout match is going to be played on Gullywash and Upward. If it is a draw after that we are playing a deciding match on PL Borneo. So it would be worth plating some Borneo games.

This match is on Wednesday, Aug 10th, 21:00 EST.

HIGHLANDER OPEN - 5TH ROUND

Dragon — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 21:47:06 +0000

Yes, Jakov forces me to make announcements again to compensate for his laziness.
Anyway, we got to 5th round of highlander open thanks to our good results for those who don't know yet.
The teams have a bit of influence on the maps that are going to be played in the following rounds, it is allowed for the team to say which map they DO NOT WANT to be played during the matches.
Maybe it'd be cool if everyone posted what maps they don't want to play the highlander open in this announcement so others from the group can see it and stuff. So if you feel like it, would be cool if you left a list of maps you don't want to be played since it might come in handy later.

OUR FINAL ( ? ) HIGHLANDER OPEN MATCH THIS SEASON

Dragon — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 01:39:41 +0000

... And this time, we're pretty much fighting for the second place in the group, let's stay strong and tear the next team into pieces.

The match is happening at 4.8 20:30 CEST, against Jin Jang, which seems to be a fully communicating hungarian team. The team had been pretty close to win against a team who we previously lost to, so don't expect this to be a piece of cake. Let's stay strong and show JJ who's the best! This time without any substitutes, hopefully.

NEXT MATCH

27.7.2016 21:00 CEST
Map: Pl_upward
Enemy team: DumpsterDivers

Just making announcements instead of lazy Jakov, don't mind me buds.

Time of our second match

Jakov — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:16:35 +0000

This announcement is a reminder and for those of you who don't check HLO#2 Fixtures on ETF2L.

Week 2 commences from Jul 17 to Jul 21.

Our match is scheduled for Thursday, 21 July 2016, 21:00.

We are playing 2 games on 2 maps: koth_product and cp_process. You are supposed to know callouts for this maps and general tactics, in oder to achieve that check out discussion "Collouts and strats"

I ask everyone to be online at 20:00 CEST. And check if everything works (i.e. mumble, you internet etc.)

We are facing a good team with pro leader so do some training idk, play on tf2c.

Please check out our new discussion "Callouts and Strats"

Jakov — Sat, 16 Jul 2016 18:44:48 +0000

The discussion is a big one but you don't have to read everything.

Week 2 is played on koth_product and cp_process hence by the time of the match we need to know at least basics such as general callouts and rollouts as well as basic tactics (well, koth_ and cp_ modes are not that difficult but on pl_ you'll have to pay more attention to strats).

There are 4 sections for each week and maps its played on in my discussion.

I've put a lot of effort in creating that post to cover everymap of the HLO mappool, please please take a little time and read it.

excuse me my english, I didn't edit the discussion so feel free to point out my mistakes, I'll edit them.

And yea, I just spent 2 hours on a post that no one is going to read.

The fist match has ended with our victory, congratulations

Jakov — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 18:23:50 +0000

It's kinda late to post this but whatever.

Even though we had staffing problems, organisation and technacal issues we made it through the Week 1.

Thanks everyone who participated.

Special thanks to Porky for taking his role as leader and being a great mentor, we would've not been able to play this match without him.
I'd also like to thank 1# Duck for providing a demo[we.tl] of the game (from his POV).

Logs of our game can be found here 1st half[logs.tf] and 2nd half[logs.tf]

There are a few things that we should learn from this game:

Next time everyone will have to use mumble (ffs), communication is absolutely crucial for the team.
Be ready for a match, please check ETF2L fixtures, check this group or ask Porky or me if you have any questions or availability issues.
We really need more practice playing together. Week 2 features maps: koth_product_rc8 & cp_process_final so we might consider scheduling a game on tf2c sometime around weekends.
Take the initiative. I don't wanna write to each and every member of our team about our training game or an upcoming match for multiple times, check the group announcements from time to time too.
If you're a sub you'll need to have mumble installed by the time a match starts.

English is not my native language, k?
