Ultiduo, the competition that pits medic and soldier combos against each other in a knockout competition is returning to ozfortress and could be looked at by  European admins for a “fun” competition along the same lines as the highlander comp.

Ultiduo is a fun competition that spawned from ozfortress’s successful Ultimate Soldier competition created for Team Fortress Classic. The tournament is designed to test the team work, strategy and precision of the best soldier/medic combo teams in the pacific. The stress and mental challenge involved in this tournament is second to none, and is not for the faint hearted.

ozfortress has successfully run four TF2 Ultiduo competitions over the past three years with each iteration bringing new challengers, new rules and even a new map, as we saw in Ultiduo4.

With a new map, format and automated irc bot, this edition of Ultiduo is expected to attract both veterans and newcomers to the tournament.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the competition, Ultiduo5 is just around the corner!

After a hard fought 15 minute round with we-r, -A- hit their grove and showed why they are the #1 clan in the Oceania region. They showed pure dominance over we-r heading into this grand final re-re-re-match vs rewound. The two have faced off in the last 3 big competition finals (csm2, owl2, c4c) with -A- taking the last 2 recent matches.

rewound will need to hit a new level if they are to threaten -A- after beating kings in 2 maps this week. During that match they showed both how good they can be and also how messy they have been vs -A- in the past: lost to -A- 5-1, 5-2 C4C grand final.

As always, it should be a good game to tune into on the standard granlands maps. rewound will definitely put up a better fight than we-r and if the rumours are true and rewound have been far more active – who knows what upset could occur?

Capping for a Cause: An Australian Tournament aimed at Cancer Awareness

Update: -A- wins (granary 5-1, badlands 5-2). Congrats!

>>>Stv demoes

8 weeks ago we started a 2 division, double elimination tournament with the pure aim of raising money to fight cancer. It came about on the back of one of our local players was diagnosed with a tumor, and her friends approaching us admins to come up with a tournament for cancer awareness.

Teams were asked to “buy their seed” with the higher donations granting them easier paths through the competition. This allowed lower tier clans to come up with funds to boost their seed, and consequently their chances of winning. Each cap out gave each clan 1 ticket and prizes will be drawn in a raffle format at the conclusion of the tournament – once again giving lower tier clans more motivation to enter.

Along the way ozfortress.com donated $1 per cap out per match, certain players gave $10 per cap out for New Zealand teams only to give them some country pride! Now as we approach the Grand Final for each division, we have raised over $5500 so far and will hopefully crack the $6000 mark over the next week!

How? Well tonight is the Division 1 Grand Final between -A- and rewound, and for every spectator that joins, a community member (DaN) will be donating $1 to the cause. Whatever the spectator count peaks at, will be the donation amount. So tune in tonight @ Sunday, 13 June 2010 at 1:00:00 PM (UTC+2 hours CEST) and help fight cancer!

While us Euroes work hard to get money for tournaments, the Aussies are working hard to give it! Big thanks to Valk for his contribution! (Could someone offer an explanation of the time format there? )

Update, Valk wrote this on the ETF2L forums:

Australia have taken down New Zealand 2-0, with Australia proving their strength keeping the the largly retired New Zealand team to just 2 caps over 2 maps. Big thankyou to all the players from both teams, the shoutcasters from gamestah.com, siege and bladez getting the STV’s sorted, wug for rounding up a fantastic nz team, and to all 500+ spectators!

cp_granary: 5-0 AUS
cp_badlands: 5-2 AUS

Valk contributed us with this reminder about the game tomorrow. So, if you aren’t already dreaming TF2, here’s your chance at catching up right outta bed!

Australia vs New Zealand, noon tomorrow!

Tomorrow night @ 8:00pm Australian EST (Sydney) (if we’re correct, this = 12.00cet), Australia will take on New Zealand in their first ever 6v6 clash. The Australian Team will contain the stars from ozfortress.com’s winter league series: 2 while the New Zealand Team will be a mixture of old and new as retired ysw players guest star for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

iPGN will be putting up 3 STV’s for the match:

• STV#1 210.50.4.30:27035
• STV#2 210.50.4.53:27015
• STV#3 210.50.4.53:27020

Ofcourse, such a clash will take place on the core TF2 maps:

• cp_granary
• cp_badlands
• cp_gravelpit (if needed)

The last time these two countries clashed was in the 8s version of the game, with NZ taking the victory. Since then alot has changed…

Can Australia take back the title?
Or will New Zealand claim another trans-tasman victory?

Sunday 16th May, 8pm EST (in 3 weeks)

STV#1 210.50.4.30:27035 (these guys sure plan ahead)
STV#2 210.50.4.53:27015
STV#3 210.50.4.53:27020

Format:
bo3: cp_granary: nz server || cp_badlands: au server || cp_gravelpit: most caps/last cap’s server
each map is played in an owl2 grand final format
(2 halves of 30 minutes/first to 4)
(first to 5 wins)
(maps cant end as a draw – “golden cap-out” must be used)

Lineup Australia:
Povohat, Subtitled, Vic, Greyhunter, Yuki, Prime, Crunch, Amril

Lineup New Zealand:
Wug, Nomey, Gore, Antwa, Lottic, Slaught, Nignig (lol @ name)

It’s here! Australia vs New Zealand! Team selection for the Australian team derived from the div1 captains vote at the end of owl2… Arguably in TF2, a superstar team is probably better than a team of superstars, but this is a nice democratic way of coming up with a team . Over the ditch, esm.wug has stepped up and gone through his own selection criteria to put forward a very competitive New Zealand team.

The last time these two countries clashed (outside of MAD DOGZ vs ysw!) was in the 8s version of the game, with NZ taking the victory. Since then alot has changed…

Can Australia take back the title?
Or will New Zealand claim another trans-tasman victory?

TF2 is a game played in the entire world, we are used to watch TF2 games of EU and NA teams but those aren’t the only places action is taking place. Our aussie friends play TF2 too, and their OzFortress Winter League Summer Edition (cool name) is coming to an end, concluding with the Grand Finals between Rewound and A team.

The maps played will be Granary, Badlands and Gravel Pit. It’s gonna be exciting match, and who knows, maybe we’ll learn some different strategies.

Joke: Will the badlands spire be twirling the opposite direction?
