October 6th Interviews
Tagged: Dr.LeoN fakkelbrigade


Heya, here is my first ever interview. Doing this mainly because this is the sort of thing I would be doing for my University course and wanted some outside practice and thought this would be a good opportunity. Any feedback is appreciated and would be willing to do more if anyone is interested….anyway on with it…

[The Interviewer] Truls “Dr.LeoN” Corneliussen Rasmussen  currently plays soldier in Division 1 team FakkelBrigade . He started his career as backup scout in Division 2 team Resistansen  after being plucked from public servers. He then progressed to Soldier, and joined the FakkelBrigade team in the season in which they were promoted to Division 2, becoming full time soldier for them. He has now been in FakkelBrigade for 2 years and has helped them progress from the new boys of Division 2 to one of the more established teams in Division 1. He made an appearance at Multiplay’s Spring LAN, i39, represented team Norway in the first and second nations cup and also spent AFS in Division 5 as Demoman with hb0da  where he helped them to a first place finish in Division 5j.
And a hot picture:

Fairly accurate wouldn’t you say?

[DrLeon] You know my entire life story :o I started as a backup player in Resistansen though, any class

Exfane parts with Epsilon

Tagged: epsilon fakkelbrigade


During the summer, Epsilon have been using Exfane as soldier merc, well-knowing that he would be returning to FakkelBrigade shortly before i40. That time has come, and the question arises whether FB will be able to come out even stronger after this break as they always have, or will this be the one time too many. VanillaTF2 caught up with Exfane to ask about the future of FB and i40.

Exfane: Don’t be mistaken it’s gonna be a hard and long route again, but i think people having some time off has really helped us with the continuation of FB. We’ve always performed our best when we were underdogs and this lan will be no different, so we’ll see what happens. We might knock out some high seeded team or might lose to some css crackers playing tf2, who knows.

We have gotten some possibilities regarding the replacement of Leon at this lan, however we still need to make a decision who can join us on lan. We’ll see how it works out tonight – who matches the team the most will get picked obviously. Everybody’s personal life has continued aswell during our absence, so things have changed and we have yet to see how it works out. Leon is going to a good university, Looper is getting jiggie with his girlfriend (could be his car, we still don’t know) , I’ve sold my company and gonna continue studying as well this year. We know each other long enough so we can be perfectly honest with each other, if we can’t cope with IRL and gaming together. So we’ll just have to see, I guess.

We also got a comment from Extremer from Epsilon:

Extremer: Exfane was the perfect soldier to fill in for Cube. Both have similar playstyles, so our gameplay barely changed. I’d like to thank him for putting up with us for that long! CU@LAN EXFANE

With Epsilon losing Exfane, their previous soldier cube will be returning to their lineup for i40 and beyond!

A little over 2 hours ago, EG. CB launched mygamingedge.com – a site that should be added to every competitive TF2 player’s bookmarks.

We created My Gaming Edge to help bring your game to the next level. The top Team Fortress 2 players around the world have gathered to show you what it takes to be the best. These players will not only explain what’s going through their head during live matches but will show you the ins and outs of playing at the invite level, answer your questions and much more. Plus, a weekly podcast featuring the best players in the world breaking down the competitive scene here and in Europe.
The TF2 ecosystem is starving for content that will help the players and the community grow. Our goal at MGE is to do as much as possible to bring you the most up to date news, gossip, league coverage, video content and more.

Whether you are just getting started with competitive play or looking for that extra push to break through to the top level, My Gaming Edge is the place for you.

Currently all of the content is free, but there are plans for a “premium package” involving a subscription. Details on how much exactly remain to be seen, but if the content from these guys is regular, then I can’t see it being an issue.

That’s right, the king of Turris and flick shots is back with a frag movie. Created by iQue, with a small intro by Torden,it features frags from quite-a-long-time-ago and up until now. If you’re still reading this, you’ve gone too far: go click on the movie.

SPUF 6v9: Lazy Sunday! (European #3)

May 9th Matches
Tagged: 6v9 fakkelbrigade


That’s right, we’re up for yet another round of Pubbers vs Pros. Not much change has been put into this version, only the use of different players on either side of the playing field.

The main lineup for the pros (and hopefully the one playing on the night, unlike last time) are:

  • Scouts: dignitas/bybben + “maybe” TCM|zerox
  • Soldiers: cube.idk? + WeMadeFux Evil
  • Demoman: TLR|Thy
  • Medic: TCM|Byte

Once again this has been organised by myself, Shintaz and pretty much sponsored by the guys down at Fakkelbrigade (big thanks once again). With the previous two being hugely popular with the public community and the competitive community alike, we’re expecting even more numbers and another great mumble cast (full details aren’t available as of yet).

This is only the introductory article, interviews with both the pub and competitive team are to come. I wish both teams good luck, but in all honesty, like the rest of the world, want the pubbers to win (whoever they may be!).

For other details and to give the pubbers a good luck, check out the thread over on Steam Forums.

May 2nd Matches
Tagged: broder dignitas fakkelbrigade TCM tlr


It’s been a while since last time. But, with EMS and ESH currently active, there should be more action coming up these days.

ETF2L 5th Cup semi-final

TCM-Gaming 6 vs 0 The Last Resort

  • 22.00 cet, Freight (7-2) and Gullywash (4-2)
  • Stv: 85.236.101.74:27015
  • match link

Should be a good one, although TCM stomped Freight 5-0 when they last met a couple of weeks ago in Season 7. The winner gets a date with I Don’t Know? in the Final.

ESL season 5

FakkelBrigade 0 vs 6 Broder

  • 21.00 cet, premier division, Badlands (4-9) and Obscure (1-3)
  • Stv: fakkelbrigade.eu:27100 Due to the lastest update, the stv doesn’t work
  • match link

Number 5 on cadred’s latest top 10 meets # 8. The last time the teams clashed together, FB took home a safe victory. With new maps and different lineups, will this match be different?

EMS season VI

Team Dignitas 6 vs 0 Unexist

  • 20cet, EMS group stage, Well (4-0) and Badlands (5-3)
  • Stv: tba
  • match link

Not even Dignitas knows if this game will be played tonight or not. The other matches (with default date today) are reported to have been moved. Meanwhile in EMS, bE gave Hadoken a default victory.
