“Hey guys!

The stage has been set and you will find your matches by either looking at the elimination table or by looking at the stage 2 page.

Please note that no extensions can be given to teams who do not play as doing so would hold up the entire competition. You will need to play your games within the window given.

Good luck and enjoy”

TF2 rated in top 5 of the best PC games of all time

TF2 - #1 in our heartsPC Gamer recently rated team Fortress 2 (TF2) as one of the top five games of all time. A group of international writers compiled their top ten in order. This mega-list was refined, collated, checked, sieved, proofed, justified and lastly published as a top hundred list of the best PC games of all time. When it was released, the editors at TF2CSA eagerly scanned the list looking for TF2…

TF2 was released by Valve almost three-and-a-half years ago, in October 2007. Since then Valve has issued over one hundred and fifty updates to Team Fortress 2 including patches, bug fixes, game play tweaks, new maps, weapon updates and a micro-trading system. Some would even argue that TF2 is a trading system with a free game built in…

Winter Assembly, a TF2 LAN held in Helsinki, Finland, comprising six of the top European teams has just finished. The final, played between Dignitas and Epsilon, was spectated by over two thousand people either via Mumble and Internet streams or live at the event. Such is the popularity of this FPS!

Apologies, I digress! Back to the all important chart.  PC Gamer writers dropped our favourite game in at number four on their list. But, dear readers, ardent “pubbers” and dedicated competitive players, we know better… For us, deep down in our hearts- er, rubber gun boats, TF2 will always be number one!
