It’s Summer and some noobs prefer not playing TF2. We already heard of  Fisshu (FB)playing for Stoic K1ck this AFS. Meanwhile, Exfane (FB) has found a new Summer lagoon in the form of idk? Predz (WeMadeFux) will also be spotted mercing for them in EMS, but will keep playing for his main team in AFS.

Bash (that SC2 nerd who used to play demo for Wotr and Power) has taken on the task of playing soldier for CoolClan.

Appe (former Dignitas) is chilling with his Swedish (+Norwegian) broders, in between a busy work/world cup schedule. With Macisum on vacation for the Summer, the team should also be seen playing with Morf (former Jägarna) the coming weeks.

I'm so sorry, Fisshu... I just couldn't keep it in any longer.

Few things are as well-associated as Fisshu and  FakkelBrigade. Maybe peanut butter & jelly, or maybe  Shintaz & autism, but the first thing that I think of when I hear Fisshu’s name screamed in the throes of passion is his rambunctious, fun-having division one clan. So imagine my surprise as I sit in IRC today, obsessively watching the elite TF2 channels for the latest ETF2L news. My heart breaks as I read the words…

<+TF2News> [ETF2L|Transfer] Fisshu left FakkelBrigade
<@dignitas\dunc> GOSISP
<+minimoose> O M G
<+gl> :OOO
<@dignitas\dunc> GOSSIP
<@dignitas\dunc> !1
<+gl> Fisshu
<+minimoose> slight overreaction
<+`light`> i want a vuvuzela
<+pukz> MMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHMMMMMMMM
<+Fisshu> :o

A few things become clear upon seeing this log:

  • There’s a fucking TF2 news bot? I didn’t know that shit, that’s awesome.
  • FISSHU LEFT FAKKEL BRIGADE?!?!
  • Someone should punch  light right in the fucking jugular for wanting one of those God awful things.

So what’s the crack, I think to myself – could Fisshu really abandon his long-time TF2 friends? The short of it is OH MY GOD FISSHU ABANDONED FAKKEL BRIGADE AND EXFANE IS MAD ENOUGH THAT HE IS READY TO PUNCH HELL AS FUTILELY AS THOSE EFFORTS MAY BE. The long of it is…

Shown by their etf2l page the MGO K1ck have picked up team Stoic. K1ck were last seen in competitive TF2 more than a year ago with an impressive roster aiming for division one. In picking up Stoic it’s clear they have another division one team in the making. With impressive results already against established division two/one teams it is thought they would be aiming to finish at the top end of the challenging second division in ETF2L Season 8.

It’s great to see another MGO returning to TF2 and they couldn’t have chosen a better available team. Congratulations to both sides.

K1ck roster:

  • Royze
  • Crink
  • Daf
  • SuperFly-
  • Rake
  • Vali
  •  Jones (backup)

Some recent player movements

It’s off season, and the typical time to make roster changes. We’ve already seen both TCM and Dignitas changing out their medics. Here’s a fast overview of the latest movements:

Stoic

Observant people will have spotted Daf participating in their latest pcws. This stallion has been active since the days of TFC. He’s breakthrough on the TF2 scene  came from switching scout to (a world class) soldier in Wotr/4kings a year ago. He is now fully back to the scene and should prove an important part of a stronger Stoic.

Daf: The main lineup is: Medic – Royze, Soldier – me, Soldier – Crink, Demo – Vali, Scout – Super, Scout -Rake. At the moment, the team play 4 days a week (Monday – Thursday with Sunday off) I’ll be playing at least 3 of those days, mostly 4. Jones will fill in when I can’t play

VanillaTF2: What happened to Jones? Busy chasing skirt? (he got a good score in the handsome pagant)
Daf: I’m sure chasing skirt is an integral part of it, but as I understand, he started a new job recently and is also going away traveling for a month to the States! Why would he go semi active in TF2 for that? Don’t ask me…

WeMadeFux

Another Irishman in the wind, Admirable. The former soldier of Wotr2/Coolclan (and Pentia) has now switched to medic completely, and will do his part as a working class hero in WeMadeFux. Admirable can often be found healing pickups, thriving in 2vs6 situations: “jump on them, let’s fuck them up, bro”. Admirable has formal medic training from FakkelBrigade.

VanillaTF2: A comment on Admirable joining your ranks?
Predz: uhm.I stole his Tshirt. I felt i owed him something. So I let him join

VanillaTF2: Is he main lineup medic, TopGear backup multiclass?
Predz: Yessir

VanillaTF2: Want to say something positive about his contribution to the team?
Predz: hmm. I’m probably the wrong person to ask for that. I feel I must always insult him, being Northern Irish and all.

The team will be going to i40 this summer.

The Last Resort

TLR has been in a poor state off season. When Viqun joined some weeks back, Mvp let us know of them restructuring due to scouts leaving the game. The second piece of this puzzle seems to have arrived, in the form of  Havok. This funny character was last seen inactive for the now folded Pentia. He is perhaps most remembered for his brief appearance in Imperial about a year ago. With world class meatshots and magic bullets, can he be what the team needs? Mvp/Marco explains:

Marco: We finally have our lineup for the next weeks/months, with havok and viqun as new scout couple. AAL still is around and will play until his departure around august. although there might be another change coming up in the next weeks.

VanillaTF2: what change?
Marco: You will see, sorry, can’t say any more yet

The team will be  attending Summer Assembly.

Broder

Wltrs originally joined as a long time sub, has now officially joined the team.
Berserker is still on a leave of absence due to exams, but will return mid June  for full time trolling duty. Upon asking Wltrs for a comment, he says “naw :<”. The team will be seen attending Asssembly come August.

Infernal Gamers

There’s a saying of “fool me once…”, “fool me twice…” But nothing really covers “fool me 3 times”. Chatter soared through the intrawebs when it was known that Techtron joined the team for the 3rd time within a matter of months. The team recently lost 3 players, but has already gotten some replacements. We asked Zip what was going on:

VanillaTF2: Could you explain the situation? What happend? 3 people left?
Zip: Yes, 3 people left – angel, wlz and waiz. We were still together only because of Moscow Lan. In-game disagreements between players

VanillaTF2: Are you set for a stable 6 man main linueup now?
Zip: yes, we’ve got 3 new players : techtron, un1c and kondor. and we are going to participate in ubercharge tournament and AFS

VanillaTF2: This is the 3rd time Techtron joins. I know many will be wondering, why do you keep on taking him in after he left you so many times?
Zip: Because he’s a really good medic :)

VanillaTF2: Think he will stay this time?
Zip: I hope so.

That’s right, this is it. And we can celebrate with a new record of visits, 2,743 – yesterday.

In other news, the bastard child of rEJ, Mafia and DCSB has now gotten a name: Stoic. Good for them.
