Greg — Season 11 is over; the undisputed champions Epsilon have been defeated, which sees Team Infused crowned the new champions - breaking their curse of never beating Epsilon.  We now move into the off season break, however pretty much every team has had a mid-season or post-season team change, which has gone unreported except for live on PirateRadio (with CommanderX, kaidus and myself).  I am going to take you on a journey through the Season 11 team changes and look forward to the Season 12 Prem teams.

Current Premier Teams

Team Infused:
Lets start with the Champions of Season 11: Team Infused.  It has been a season of progression for them, beginning with a player change, the former dignitas scout cookye came in to replace the quad pistol and just a few days after this pickup the team lost out narrowly in the first Excello final of the season to their nemisis Epsilon eSports.  They took this in their stride and pushed forward, eventually repeating their first place in the regular season; granting them first seed into the playoffs, where they finally defeated Epsilon and secured the title “Champions of Europe” for Season 11.  However it has not been plain sailing for the English team as during the playoff period I made the decision to leave the team, the Team UK and former Team Thermaltake scout JoeyC (also known as Fisshu) replaced me.

Lineup: numlocked, dunc, flisko, mike, JoeyC, cookye

Comedian — Tonight we have some more ETF2L Premiership action going on! Yoyotech will be trying to recover from their draw (in games, not in points) with the now dropped  exotic, by facing off against Tryharders who have yet to prove their worth. Will the spanish scout combination on Tryharders be strong enough to provide sufficient leverage against Yoyotech’s heavy classes? or shall we see TheSucker managing to not drop any ubers and survive for a full round, we shall find out tonight at 21:15 CET.

Yoyotech TviQ, Hat, Linus, boomeh, kaidus, TheSucker

Casting tonight will be the potato lord himself,  Admirable and Greg, with  Comedian on the stream.

Faint — Update: Due to issues with Kaidus’ net (and possibly tryharders also having problems), the yyt vs tryharders game is to be rescheduled for a later date. Continuing the run of bad luck, due to steam being down currently, our backup games have also been wildcarded.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but these issues are obviously out of our control so there’s not much we can do.

Trath — Well the first Premiership match of the season is here.  Who would have thought that Prem teams would actually play their games on time? It is a new age for TF2!  Truth be told – this dosen’t seem like an exciting match on the face of it; the defending champions Epsilon eSports are huge favorites, whilst the unproven Tryharders have a really, really small chance. But you know how it goes… it ain’t over til the fat lady sings.

 Tryharders have been trying hard, playing a lot for the past two weeks.  They picked up Super Scouts  Longas and  EstaniS, as well as crazy jew demoman  Erectus.  While nobody thinks much of their soldiers, and most high level players dislike  Taimou‘s aggressive style of play, they are rumoured to be working on some oddball strategies that nobody has prepared for yet.   Epsilon have been on a roll for a very long time.  I cant remember the last time they lost a match, if ever.  Nobody can argue they are #1 right now.

VanillaTV have risen to the occasion at the last minute and will be bringing you a star-studded international extravaganza with eXtelevision’s  Salamancer, our homophonically amphibian friend from across the pond, who will be joined by our very own Admirable on the mic and Comedian on the streaming duties.  Turn on, tune in and drop out shortly after 21:00CET.

Last but not least, thanks to the TF2 streaming revolution you can also catch POV of fearless Finn, Taimou, and the Tryharder’s team comms over on TaimouTV, including their warm-up games right now!

Torden — 1 prem spot, 5 contenders?

Update: Added news about Equilibrium reform, above Rejects. Also added Clippen comment.

The pre season mating period has officially kicked off, as vibrant as ever. Last season, Crack Clan had a pretty clear edge on getting the free promotion. This time around, it’s more difficult to predict – and not from the lack of hopefuls. Quarantine, Decerto, Exotic, Karnage and Taimou’s new crew are now on a path to a brawl to figure out who’s best of the rest. Here’s the insight.
