Byte — Alongside a decent premiership lineup for Season 12, we have two potential teams at the top of div 1 battling out. With players like Haunter & Stuntz from Naughty Badmen and Animal & destructo from CIDO, who will out wit who?

Tonight will be a debut match for both teams – having not played any matches yet in ETF2L, and also rumour has it (source: Animal) that CIDO have not played for a very long time. Find out what happens if CIDO lose – will they fold, or will they find the strength to recompose themselves for the rest of the season!

Join Byte & Gubbins for the cast with Comedian on the stream at 21:15, in what should be an exciting game to watch with the aid of commentary and finding out what went wrong for CrackClan and why this supposedly was their last game together before the fold reform!

Trell — After two long days of practically non-stop TF2 action, the i45 tournament draws to a close today with 2 teams clawing their way to the top of the pile.

Team Infused (seeded 1st) arguably had the easier run, only dropping a few rounds throughout the entire competition – despite offclassing for the majority of the tournament, with, for example, Greg on Demoman and Mike on Scout.  This didn’t seem to hamper them in any way, as they breezed through the opposition with relative ease.

Elemental Violence (seeded 3rd) had a closer run to the final – beating -=Crazy=- in the first KO round 5-0, however, in the second round they came up against Zumba! in what would prove to be the game of the tournament up until then.  You can see the VOD of the game if you missed it here.  The game ended with a last ditch cap, making it 5-5, and eV managed to grab the golden cap, putting them safely through.  It’s interesting to note that Zumba! were seeded 2nd overall in this tournament.  Elemental Violence then went on to lose out to Team Infused (oh the irony) in the Upper Bracket Final, before beating Zumba! once more, with a score of 2 to 1 in the Consolation Final, earning them a spot in the Grand Final.

This afternoons cast should be amazing to watch, with both teams fighting it out for the 360 GBP grand prize AND the free i46 tickets.  The runner up will recieve 120 GBP and a general feeling of dissapointment.   Pledge and  Byte will be casting the final LIVE on the Multiplay finals stage.

While you wait for todays action to begin, why not take a look at one of our interviews from the event, with none other than numlocked from team infused?

Trell — Last night saw some great TF2 action from i45 – with some decidedly unexpected results.  Elemental Violence made it top of Group A, above Team Infused Apparently, totally expected results – due to a mistype in Clanforge, Team Infused actually topped Group A, while Zumba! managed to top Group B.  Schedule will be updated throughout the day!

Trell — So, as promised (I know the last post title was misleading), here is the information that we have so far.  Group stages are set to start at 7pm UK time, 8pm CEST.

Noted by each game is the one we plan to cast in each ’round’.   Comedian and  Pledge are on site to guide you through the games, and out stream setup is live right now.

Read on to see the schedule and what we’re casting.

Trell — Tonight sees high level ETF2L Highlander action as the unbeaten titans of  SNSD face off against  Choir Tai, who have had a somewhat disappointing season, only managing to grab 1 win out of 3 games.

Conceivably, if SNSD manage to pull of a win on both of tonights maps (koth_lakeside and cp_foundry), they could have the championship all but sewn up.  Choir Tai will be looking to throw a spanner in the works though, and I’m sure they won’t roll over easily, especially considering tonights maps.

 Comedian is very kindly streaming tonight, despite having to work all day and still fit in packing for i45 (look forward to tomorrow for your TF2 i45 survival guide), so huge thanks go to him – whilst the Panda loving  Hildreth will be providing casting duties, with a secondary caster TBD.

ETF2L will be providing another cash prize for a lucky viewer – a whole 25 GBP – more information on this will be given during the cast.

That said, there has been a few challenges along the way, read on to see where they currently sit:

Hildreth — Continuing our coverage of Season 2 of ETF2L Highlander, VanillaTV open mic will be covering the Week 3 match between  Choir Tai and  Turbopoop eSports on pl_upward. Originally scheduled for last night but due to a (fortunate for us) steam update the match was rescheduled to tonight with both teams are fighting to stay in Division 1 of ETF2L Highlander. Choir Tai were tipped as relegation favourites but with a surprise victory over  Colony they have given themselves an outside chance of claiming some prize money. Meanwhile turbopoop have had a terrible season thus far; losing to  27,  SNSD (Default loss) and  May Contain Nuts. If the Russians lose tonight their season will be more or less over as they find themselves condemned to a relegation spot. The match will be played best of 3 rounds on Highlander favourite pl_upward with your casters for the night being the ever womanising  Comedian and the “cast whisperer”  Hildreth.
