Galant — We have launched our russian series of Night Cups right after success of Albert’s Cups during last summer. Since then every cup is gaining 16 teams, the last one – #5 called “New Year Special” (brackets) – has provided interesting games on snow maps (such as old obscure and coldfront) in chase of winning 100$. This time the 6th cup called “PreSeason” will bring again 100$ to the strongest team and games on maps from ETF2L Season 11 map-pool: cp_freight, cp_gullywash, cp_snakewater and cp_granary.

Cup will start today at 18:00 cet. Brackets will be published here.

Our american friend  Salamancer will cast all rounds on his  SalTV, and  competitf TV will mix some lovely music and insight of the game by team  ISIS as far they will proceed in this tournament.

The schedule is next for tonight:

• 18:00 cet – Round 1 – cp_freight_final1
• 18:45 cet – Round 2 – cp_snakewater
• 19:30 cet – Semi-Finals – cp_gullywash_final1
• 20:15 cet – Final, BO3 (can be postponed on Sunday if games will delay)

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.

Galant — TF2World.ru LAN #3 ending tonight with great 4-maps (possibly) Grand Final, where extremely excellent cegth[etw team will need to win only 2 maps, while their opponent Crab People or Y U NO WIN? will need to take 3 map earlier than cegth[etw.

This Grand Final will be streamed by VanillaTV. At this moment you can watch 3rd map in low-bracket final between Crab People or Y U NO WIN? on gullywash.

Galant — The last Russian offline tournament happened this April in the scenic city of St.Petersburg – you can refresh your memory with this post on Vanilla and re-live the LAN by watching these highlights brilliantly produced by bon. Half a year ago RAGE.eSports took the 1st place prize by defeating O’RLY in epic 3-map-with-golden-cap grand final on freight, granary and lovely “Russian map” cp_well.

Now it is time to tell you about our upcoming TF2World.ru LAN #3. This time we have moved the venue to Moscow and it will run from 4-5th of November. Once again 16 teams will fight during the two days; first during the group stage on Friday, and then the top 2 from each group will make up 8 teams, who will play double elimination in bo3 format during all the Saturday.

hiho all!

This weekend there will be the DSC #4 TF2 LAN in St.Petersbirg, Russia. Last LAN was in St.Pete in August 2010, and now we’re going to have really big event with 16 teams participating! Go read ahead to know more!

hiho all!

Dear participants, please remember to play your 1st Round matches on this week. Saturday is the last day for this. But if we will see comments on match page that you definitely both agree and will do it on Sunday – admins won’t go against this. Otherwise there will be lots of def.wins on Saturday. Also if you have tried all ways to contact with your opponent – please leave a comment on match page that you did all possible. We will see your activity and you’ll get def.win.

If you still don’t know how to submit/confirm results – please read here. Also read about the score-system here.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask admins ( Galant, pala4, Kira). You can contact us via steam-group or via IRC on #tf2.ru and #esportsheaven.

hiho all!

Russian TF2 community portal TF2World.ru launching another one Cup using ESH Tournament System – this time it is 1×1 Scout Cup on map Dm_Whiskas_rc4. Author of this map will be glad to award the winner with cash-prize – 3000 rubles (~95$, be sure you have PayPal account dear euro-guys!).

hiho all!

Russian TF2 community portal TF2World.ru starting its regular 5th Cup using new overhauled and revamped ESH Tournament System (read on Cadred).

The key feature of these Cups – different custom maps. You will have a chance to play on such interesting maps like true-yanke-follower, russian-cold-coldfront, cp_mainline, cp_waste etc. Some general rules, map-list and links for downloads you can find here.

The cup will be spread out over a month, which means there will be 1 game per week. Default time for match wil be 19 CET, but actually usual time for playing in Russia for most teams is 20:00 CET – so we hope your opponents will try to be so kind that all teams will finally find appropriate time for their matches.

All teams are welcome, especially our Finnish and Baltic neighbors!

Hello Vanilla readers!
It’s me again, and now I want to share with you some news about tomorrow’s LAN in Moscow. Yesterday groups were announced. Here they are!

Group A:

• abnormaLity
• RageQuit
• Chaotic Community | silver
• flashpoint

Group B:

• Infernal Gamers
• Only Rockets Love You
• Aqeze
• Death Adder

Group C:

• Unexist
• RAGE.MULTIGAMING
• Eternity
• Combat-Folk

Group D:

• Chaotic Community | Black
• Yummy Elite Sausages
• Crucial Team
• Team Slayers

All first teams in groups were seeded, then another four teams (who are second in groups) were seeded, and finally other 8 teams were randomly divided into groups.

Maps in group stage are fixed: gullywash & freight, badlands & yukon, granary & turbine. It’s interesting to note that the most exciting matches between 1st and 2nd teams in groups will be played on granary & turbine. After group stage 8 teams will play play-off matches in single elimination mode, maps – best of 3 – are decided by deletion.

Tomorrow I will try to keep you informed about all interesting matches and provide STVs here. Also there will be some coverage and live-videos in my La compétiTF blog.

See you, Galant.
