In my previous article, I focused on explaining the basics of communication. Today, I want to focus on listening.

TF2CSA Cup v2 Custom Maps Info

The TF2CSA Cup v2 Custom Maps deadline for signups will be tomorrow at 11:59PM and so far we have 9 teams registered with 5 competing for the Alpha Group (High/+Mid) and 4 teams on the Beta Group (Mid/Low).

We will adjust the group to play on 3 fixtures only in case no other team registers for the Beta group and the Alpha group is already locked.
