Once upon a time TF2 was a game rich with sponsors. Almost every team in division 1 represented a major organisation, and in return these organisations were willing to give you more than a mumble channel and a cheap server. The Last Resort was one of them. Their previous teams include
Marco‘s All Star German contingent with which they parted ways more than 2 years ago and the Monster Munch lineup of old that were a dominant force in the early history of European TF2.
On officially joining the organisation, team captain
HYS had this to say:
I’d like to thank Michael “Chefinal” Robinson for giving our team the chance to showcase our talent under the TLR eSports banner. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to establish ourselves as a solid premiership outfit and help re-ignite TLRs wonderful reputation built over the last decade.
TLR’s Manager
chefinal also had this to say:
I am extremely happy to return to the TF2 scene a game that TLR.eSports has had great presence in the past. The team currently is leading the etf2l premier division and we hope they can do the same under the TLR.eSports banner. I have been very impressed with the TF2 community over the past few years and recently their efforts and drive towards i45 and getting 2 USA teams over for the event.
The lineup is as follows:
Ilari “Evilmoon” V.
Sam “Cyber” C.
Greg “Traxantic” C.
Stevan “HYS” S.
Louis “dONut” V.
Vincent “droso” I.
We all wish the team and organisation the best of luck, and hope to see them at i47!

TweetI thought about putting this in the article but decided against it. TLR are organisation which have had issues delivering on promises in the past. From conversations I’ve had in the past it’s clear their heart is the right place. Their sponsor deck has improved considerably in the last coupe of years, so hopefully they are now in a position to deliver.

also > i45, shows how much he’s been following the tf2 scene
- # - nice! +2When you go to virtually every i-series for 5+ years they all start to blur together.
- # - nice! +2yeah but i46 was _THE_ LAN.
- # - nice! +1I hope that people will wipe the slate clean with any perceptions they had about TLR and get behind them as they return to TF2. I have a lot of faith in this community after being to i46 and seeing how special it really is. Onwards and upwards!
- # - nice! +3dude, I hope TLR sorted its stuff out and stopped making empty promises like the ones exampled in the cadred article. The people in charge of TLR are still the same, so I hope for you guys that they sorted it out! :)
- # - nice! +0how much of an TLRfan can you be HYS after meeting him at i46? w0w
- # - nice! +3I didn’t meet him at i46 :)
- # - nice! +1Chef is a good guy, and his heart is in the right place, with his passion for gaming. But it’s the organisation, management, and promotion skills that let him down. He has to promise big things in order to get high level teams into his organisation, but then he can’t consistently deliver these promises. He does try to, but it seems he says something, and then tries to make it happen, rather than knowing what his organisation can actually provide, before offering it in the first place. For that reason, he’s a huge let down to teams, his reputation is destroyed, and the name TLR should have been buried ages ago.
Honestly, I’m surprised any TF2 team is willing to join this organisation. Good luck to you guys, but my advice is, if you’re expecting any sort of LAN support, get it paid for a long time before any event, or you might find yourself funding your own flight home, because a cheque from a sponsor bounced, or the sponsor stopped supporting the organisation before the tickets were bought… blah blah.
It won’t be surprising that I agree with the above,
I sincerely hope that things have changed and that anything that has been promised is delivered, which wasn’t the case in the past.
- # - nice! +0sounds like blight :C
- # - nice! +3gl lads!
I think atm, TLR wont have any expenses in the near future for the TF2 side. ex Nitrose side could just possibly be wanting very little from them at the moment and hope to build the organisation in time for a proper lan?
- # - nice! +1At least, there won’t be two French flags in the prem table anymore :-)
- # - nice! +0BLAST folded?
- # - nice! +6Another Org supporting a team to LAN is a good thing, I remain pretty skeptical about whether any actual money, flights or LAN tickets will materialise though.
Good luck.
