Final TF2 6v6 v1 As It Happened

On Sunday 9th of May the Final Match of the TFCSA 6v6 v1 between WildGirls vs Enigma was one of the most entertaining matches in TF2 SA for a while that saw WildGirls taking the title after some intense game-play and we can see it by the scores as WilgGirls won Freight 3-2, and the second map was a nail biting 3-3 draw in Badlands. It really was an awesome game and left the community with the feeling that we can keep having fun at the competitive level. Well played everyone!

On the other game for 3rd place Narcotics vs Equilibrium unfortunately 3 members from Eq had DSL line problems and they could not play their match leading to Nc to win by forfeit.

TF2CSA TOP 4:

  1. WildGirls
  2. Enigma
  3. Narcotics
  4. Equilibrium

Overall it was an interesting competition that really give us some hopes that we can still get this game to a decent level of competitiveness but we still need the cooperation of everyone in this community if we really want to keep having fun. Let’s do it guys!

Note: More information on the TF2CSA Points Ranking System will be announced soon.

ESEA considering dropping TF2

This past Wednesday, ESEA owner lpkane discussed the likelihood of the ESEA dropping support for TF2. On a ESEA discussion thread lpkane said the league will “…most likely pull the plug on TF2 after this season, but regardless… try and finish out this season strong.”

There’s a good objective discussion on Vanilla TF2 about the whole issue.

KOTH “Viaduct 6v6 v1” Kup

Announcing the KOTH Kup

To sustain the momentum generated from the first TF2 6v6 competition and plug the gap before the second TF2 6v6 competition starts, the TF2CSA Team would like to announce sign-ups are currently open for the forthcoming Koth “6v6 v1” Kup.  This is a small tournament aimed at introducing new teams and players to competitive 6v6 gaming. The other objective of the competition is to introduce maps that aren’t usually played in the competitive format in South Africa as well as different game styles. We have designs on implementing a “Highlander” competition and other types too, such as “Sniper Wars”, in the future.

The closing date for team sign-ups is 10 May, 2010. This cup will be only be played only on “KOTH Viaduct”. The aim is to introduce this awesome map to those teams and players that have not played 6v6 game play on it yet.  The challenge of controlling the central point (where the timer counts down from 3 minutes to 0 for whichever team currently “owns” the point) creates some very challenging battles to capture, hold or regain control of the point.

The tournament will consist of 2 groups with the top 2 teams from each group advancing to the knock out stages (semi-finals / final). The reason for this is to create a balance between the various skill levels that currently exist in competitive TF2 in South Africa.  Having 2 groups also affords each team the opportunity to play more matches to get used to KOTH Viaduct. This cup will kick off on 11 May and close on 29 May.

Once the total number of teams is finalised, we can sort how many matches need to be played and will then post the match schedule. Unlike the first 6v6 competition, we are not going to use match days to play, teams will have to play their games before a deadline date.
