Mid Week Madness
TF2CSA presents Mid Week Madness (MWM). This series will show case once-off challenges between various clans. We want to make these events as exciting as possible and thanks to IS Gaming we also have a 150 spectator slot Source TV for viewing the matches and a commentary channel for shoutcasting. One of the goals outlined by TF2CSA is to bring the fun back into TF2 and encourage old (as in experienced) and new players into the competitive side of TF2. All MWM matches will take place on Wednesday nights at 8:15pm and are assured to be full of excitement. The MWM Series will run from the June 9 until June 30.
MWM #1 – Pub All Stars vs Pro All Stars
The recent PAS Challenge was a success with PAS running away with victory. Various sects within the local TF2 community felt that it was inevitable that PAS would win due to superior numbers and that perhaps the contest wasn’t that “fair”. To set the record straight and make it more “fair”, TF2CSA and the PAS team are offering the “Pro” TF2ers a chance to set the record straight.
MWM #1 will feature the Pub All Stars in a heated battle against the Pro All Stars, playing in a 9v9 Highlander Match.
Nine hand picked players (including at least one player from the 7 teams who participated in 6v6 v1 competition) have been moulded into a formidable fighting force with one aim only… Taking down the mighty Pub All Stars. The challenge will be once again for the fun of it, but I know for a fact that both PAS and Pro-AS are taking this match very seriously.
Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts, this is gonna be one helluva ride!

Brilliant Idea 😀
Another good move by tf2csa, you guys are doing nothing but impressing lately.
Keep up the good work and cant wait to see the outcome of this match
🙁 Sob, didnt make the All Star team:(
Is it called “the Fair fight” because hes a guy in Eq’s team? :O (fair that is)
Apparently Learox is a better Proro than me and Edge a better scout, in Highlander that leaves no place for me:(
@Semper …nice
NB: I wrote this article over the weekend and thought Nc was broken up. I will approach the Nc guys and ask them if they want to participate. When the idea came to me about 2 weeks ago, I wanted Goldfox to demo, but then he disappeared and that is when I added the Tyrant _enemy to the list.
I think the shout casters are sexy
Thats very RACIST X!!! who says I didn’t wana take part? Dam indian!!
lol by not getting picked atleast I know I wasnt the fat kid….Thats some consolation atleast………
……… I think :/
Wow that pro team is really “pro”
……….
…….
……………….
….
naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
hahahaha Surge. Too true. pubs vs pubs. IMO. well some pros, but meh.
Also, no 6vs9? bummer.
@Surge, @Moist instead of chirping from the peanut gallery, why don’t you get involved? Anyone can be a critic, but it takes effort to make a useful contribution.
Nice! Got to remember to watch this match. It will be nice to see how the Big Dogs of the game play and maybe even learn from them. Or just watch the gibs take flight.
Amped to see who wins. 😀
Well done guys, good idea.
No ways guys. Why have active participation, respect or support for anything concerning the community?
That’s n00b.
PRO’s need to assert their pwnage and let everyone know they think they’re better.
That’s the pro way.
Criticism and mockery go a long way
Im in the team?! Engineer? 😛
Unfortunately i will not be able to make it, as i play squash on wednesday nights.
Styx not included?? – Ill steal that engineer spot npz
Styx broke up before the end of V1 and that is the reason they were not included.
@Heckers, you were there as the Soldier, but I will change things around a bit
YAYZORS!!! 😀 this sounds like fun!! Count the randomness in 🙂 Can’t wait!!! Nice initiative guys!!!
If this means i hqve to captain, im gonna cry ;_;
Guys.
I am very much ready to play sniper and scout for the team.
You can thank me later.
Fair, LOLOLOLOLOL.
Be tough on them, tough love!
notx wir, you suck at the game.soz
X, did Razerfox give you my message?
Nope Stratis I went to sleep :/ soz…
What is this lies, I’m numba 1: http://hl2stats.saix.net/hlstats.php?mode=players&game=tf I should be there. 🙂
I have the coolest engie hat(hotrod) and should be the engie seeing that this is a game that is for “show” (lots of specs) and we have to look sexy!
Good luck to the teams, gonna be fun!
Ahh man, soldier!
Would have loved to play.
Heavy, mohahaha.. going to be interesting ^^
Rofl Kung XD you are first indeed 9days play time… Did you see the guy thats 2nd only has 3days lol
He’s one of them STV bots. That explains it all.
Yea Shadowrizla, scoring works on a strange way. I would play 2.5hours get 200+ Kills and a KDR of 3 and would only get like 33 points. When the stats was initialized on SGS i would do the same as mentioned above and get 1000+ points.
They try to keep it close and fair, so one guy cant go play 1000hours and then be 1st just coz he played 1000hours and gets like 1000 points everyday coz of his playtime and kills and another guy can only play 1hour a day, making it impossible to be 1st coz he can only get 100 points per day. So then the guy that is 1st would just run away with the points and no one would be able to catch up with him.
Always try to see the negative hey? I was just saying it as a joke. I honesty dont care about my rank. As that says nothing about how good you are…
Rank 112 mwahahha 😀
how were these pro’s chosen?? sis… im sure a lot of people take offence to this?? :'(
I believe the HLStatsX rankings score using an “elo” like system – you get more points for killing someone ranked above you and less for someone ranked below you; and you lose more points for getting killed by someone below you and lose less points for getting killed by someone above you. So as your ranking improves it’s harder to keep it up.
You also get extra points for assists, ubers, etc. Because of these your score almost always goes up, making HLStatsX rank more of a reflection of how much you play than how good you are.
Soz Skywalker, just like me, you are a not good enough. Life sucks:(
Will be scout for PAS on Wed.
yes X i will be playing Spy in MWM
I’m taking Ceen’s place as Spy on Wed, if he can make it, he’ll be scout instead.
