Torden — Carrying the torch for awful journalism, this post features a summary from me browsing a website, you fill in all the details! The pre season mating period is perhaps my favourite time for TF2, and it’s been long since as prosperous as now. Instead, The first spiked news comes in the form of a Sovjetan re:union, Eternity, the side that worked their way up to premiership in ETF2L’s season8, but folded before the delayed season9.

5 players have been added to their ETF2L roster, which by estimated guess looks like this:

Vad
gdk
Spicke
Waiz
Whiteglow
Blade

But, that’s only the start. Let’s indulge.

With great power comes great responsibility.

You’ll probably recognize the mundane quote from the first Spider Man movie. It doesn’t exactly take a great mind to come up with such a word of wisdom. Nevertheless it perfectly describes a challenge for any institution of authority or influence. -Be it ETF2L or this very site.

Essentially, both our services are the products of passionate souls doing free work with the best of intentions. But yes, both of us have established a responsibility for fair treatment. And for this site, a dilemma shows it’s face when having to judge what to publish and what to censor.

My latest dilemma concerns both of the mentioned institutions. A player contacted me with frustrations of the ETF2L anti cheat team seemingly doing unfair treatment, supplied with a couple of examples. On one hand [as this site stands as an independent institution] we’re the last instance to be able to voice one’s opinion and share information. But on the other hand, some accusations (confirmed or unconfirmed) can be damaging and should be handled with care.

So in an effort to pretend to be a decent journalist (yesyes, laugh) , I contacted new head admin of ETF2L, Racio to shed some light on the cases in question.
