Sonny Black — And Excello is back! Not only for some more Team Fortress 2 action but also with a fresh new site that gives the players and team leader more options to manage their teams and tournaments! The migration should be relatively easy. Just log in with your old email address and confirm your user details – done! If that does not work, please create a new account at excello.net.

In addition to that all teams have to be created once again. Since the sign-up time for the open cup is a little shorter than usual, please make sure you create your team again and add all your team mates in time.

The ZOWIE TF2 Challenge III will be the sixth sponsored Team Fortress 2 tournament at Excello. ZOWIE Gear provides 6 ZOWIE Swift mousepads for the winning team.  Read on to see the changes that have been made to this edition of the cup.

Faint — The winner of the AntLion Audio ModMic is  Rinta for the couple of nice haikus she wrote, although it should be mentioned that  Sonny Black’s entry may have won if it wasn’t for 6 syllables in the first line (damn technicalities!). Ty to all those who entered, and gratz to Rinta!

CanFo — Tonight Team Infused and Epsilon eSports will battle out who gets six Sparkle GTS 450 1024MB 128bit DDR5 One Slot graphics cards, in the final of the invite bracket of the   Excello Sparkle TF2 Winter Warmup Tournament (I challenge the casters to read out this sentence without mistakes). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all teams that participated in both the open, and invite bracket, and made this tournament the biggest TF2 tournament at Excello so far with 52 teams participating. But now back to the final!

VanillaTV will be casting tonight’s match with  ThePledge and  nvc on the mics, with nvc running the stream as well. Casting will start shortly after 21:00 CET!

Faint — Tonight sees the start of the Invite bracket of the Excello Sparkle Winter Warmup TF2 Cup.

With the winner of last night’s open bracket   Karnage eSports gaining the 7th seed, they face off against  Infused.Tt. This gives the newly formed Karnage a chance to show what they can pull off against a top prem team.

Elsewhere  Crack Clan gets a chance to show themselves back in form against exotic, and  Epsilon eSports face  Team Decerto which should be a simple game for the former of the two (in theory at least).

The last of the quarter-finals features  Broder against  Yoyotech, which should be a cracking game and will give the newly promoted teams another chance to battle it out.

CanFo — Tonight at 21:15  Karnage eSports and  Team Decerto were supposed to fight for the last invitation to the invitational bracket that will take place tomorrow. However, CKRAS and  relic are taking a break from TF2 for a while and will therefore not compete in the tournament which leaves two more open spots, making it a total of three.

Luckily, when we asked the upcoming team  Exotic that has been on the invitation list anyway if they want to take a slot, they happily agreed. For the last two open spot this means that both Karnage and Team Decerto are guaranteed to get one of the last two. To keep a bit of tension for the open final the winner of this match will get the #7 seeding and the loser will get the #8 seeding.

CanFo — So far 46 teams have signed up for the open bracket of the Sparkle TF2 Winter Warmup Tournament, including big names such as BLAST, Quarantine, Karnage and Team Decerto. That is absolutely huge for the Team Fortress 2 scene – if all of these teams check in and show up! We would like to remind you that in order to participate all team owners have to check in from 19.00 to 19.30 CET on the excello site. On the spot at 19.00 CET the “SIGN-UP” button in the right menu bar will change into a “CHECK-IN” button. By clicking on that button you will be checked in. Sounds easy? It is! You may as well check in on the tournament page. See a picture of the button here.

If your team owner can not make the time for whatever reason (and only then!), you may contact an admin in our IRC channel #excello.tf2 and ask to be checked in by an admin. We also recommend you to have a representative in #excello.tf2 at the duration of the tournament to get in touch with your opponent and be updated about any last minute changes. The result always has to be submitted by the losing team or posted in our IRC channel.

The number of probably more than 32 teams will mean that the teams with a high seed get a “bye” in the first round and will start playing at 20.45 CET. The teams with the lower seeds start playing with cp_foundry at 20.00 CET (note: this only applies if more than 32 teams check in). Please note that there is currently a bug on cp_foundry that will cause the timelimit not to kick in after 30 minutes. Be aware of that and stop playing after 30 minutes! Complaints regarding this matter will require an uploaded demo from the match.

Faint — Ladies and Gents, tonight is the invite final of the Excello ZOWIE TF2 Challenge II!

With Team Dignitas coming out on top in last nights 3 map (almost 3 golden cap) thriller against Epsilon eSports, they get to face up against Relic who beat  Crack Clan in the other semi-final last night, all in aid of winning the coveted 6x ZOWIE P-TF Mousemats on offer.

Both teams had convincing wins in their quarter-final games vs. CKRAS Gaming and                Team Yoyotech, and look set to try and show that they are back in form and can be known as the #1 team in europe, a ‘title’ that Epsilon seem to have hung onto for the last couple of months.

The action kicks off at 21:15 CET and VanillaTV will be covering the match with AcidRenix and Beta casting, and Comedian on the stream.

Also covering the action tonight is n2otv, and finally TF2World.Ru TV who will have Salamancer casting.

And for you highlander fans out there, TF2World.Ru TV will be covering the ETF2L Highlander Season 1 Week 3 game, between Colony and SNSD which starts at 19:00 CET.
