VanillaTF2

Trell — I’m so sorry  dunc, really I am, but these pun opportunities just keep presenting themselves, and I’m far too weak willed to pass them up.  Onto the facts!  Tonight in Season 11 of ETF2L’s TF2 league, we bring you another premiership game, this time between Team Infused and Karnage eSports, featuring our very own  Admirable.  Whilst being played a little later than technically it was meant to be, this is Week 2, which means that the maps are Snakewater and Gullywash – so unfortunately we won’t see  Greg or  quad run over by a train.

Karnage have only managed to play 1 game so far this season, and lost it resoundingly to Crack Clan, who roflstomped their way to a convincing 6-0 victory.  Infused on the other hand have managed to complete 3 games, with 1 default win against the now defunct broder, a draw against Epsilon and a win against tryhards (which we saw last time on VanillaTV).

Tonights cast will be an Open Mic cast with CommanderX and  Leon along with  Warden streaming - join us from 21:15 onwards!

EDIT: Please note, the mumble for tonight is - fakkelbrigade.eu:64740

Trell — Yes, as you can probably deduce from my terribly witty post title, tonight in ETF2L’s Season 11, Team Infused take on Tryhards.  Infused have proven themselves to among the cream of the EU TF2 crop currently, but are they in danger of being ‘forever 2nd’?  Hopefully not tonight – they are coming up against a Tryhards team that has yet to win a single game in Season 11.  Scary statistic indeed, especially when you look back at their previous games and see that they have yet to win a single map.

Will  Taimou manage to rally his troops tonight and give Infused a run for their money?  Or will  Greg’s men school everyone in the art of TF2?  I hear that  cookye is a ‘Fast Learner’!

The action starts at 21:15 CET on VanillaTV, so tune in, grab a drink, and watch as the story unfolds.

Torden — With all div1 and prem games now played, ETF2L are announcing what’s coming next. Perhaps more imminently, the cancellation of Beavern‘s ban. If you haven’t been paying attention, he was banned last year for alleged use of aimbot. It’s been a controversial decision, which sent the up and comers in Quarantine soaring to the TF2 underworld (otherwise known as Wireplay), now reverted after a review by the current AC team.

The technical effects won’t be much, as the ban would’ve been over before the start of season 11. -But, most importantly, it wipes the slates clean, without any need to go win a lan for Epsilon. It’s been a tough time for the players involved, time that can’t be taken back, but the sitting AC team does deserve recognition for courageously going against internet protocol: Admitting to a mistake, albeit mistakes made by former AC members.

On behalf of the Vanilla team, I’d like to offer Beavern a warm welcome back.
Now, onto teams and playoffs.

Trell — Tonight sees more TF2 action (halfway through 3 full days of excitement for TF2 fans) with those cheeky chaps  Infused.Tt facing off against  Relic in the ETF2L Premiership.  I’ve done some league theorycrafting below, theres quite a huge possibility that I have things wrong, so if you notice any discrepancies, then lemme know on IRC or in the comments, thanks!

VanillaTV will be casting the game tonight, on Own3d.tv again, with  Comedian streaming, and  Torden and  Sal casting.  Tune in at 21:15 to see the excitement play out, and join us in #vanillatv on Quakenet to participate in the chat!

Trell —  Apparently according to M0re, it’s definitely confirmed for tonight now!

The portugese guys from eq have only played 4 maps in total this season, and unfortunately have lost all of them, while CKRAS are doing slightly better with 4 maps played, but more importantly, theyve chalked up 1 win.  As the Premiership stands currently, CKRAS are 2 places above eq, so both teams could do with an all important 2 map win tonight.

Maps are confirmed as cp_obscure_remake, which has been the cause of some controversy over its selection for this season, and everyones favourite fallback map, cp_badlands.  Join Comedian and Chaplain on VanillaTV Open Mic from 21:10 CET onwards to view what should be a great match!

Torden — I started off doing div1a, moved on to include both div1′s, now with Admirable claiming to be “cured” of whatever illness he had, we’re left with yet another division stranded, so I guess I’ll focus on premiership until somebody bothers. -Perhaps the lack of coverage is deserved, considering the sporadic league play – the ETF2L list of weekly fixtures is now officially a complete mess.

Meanwhile there’s actually some high end TF2 going on, with a top scene arguably more capable and competitive than ever before. Epsilon took a surprising plunge against CKRAS and Crack Clan last week, which leaves the latter in a competitive position, alongside Relic and Infused.

Instead of bothering with trying to untangle the scheduling/reporting scores mess of weekly match ups, I’ll rather comment on the games that are so far scheduled for this week. With all 4 of the top placing teams in the wind, this week could decide who will win season 10. Helping me with predictions this week are Byte, Antyy, cOOKYE and Zebbosai.

ESL’s third week will be wrapped up as of tonight, so why on earth am I writing these predictions today? Welcome to top level TF2, where we only play one game per week. And don’t start throwing i42 at me as an excuse, only one of the teams listed here actually attended. Top players are always complaining that there isn’t enough coverage for TF2, but you’re really not making it easy for us. Get your games scheduled and play them on time.
