IGLAbsolutefraacIf you confirm that etf2l bans for OpenPlugin VAC won't be mirrored, I can have 25 teams signed up within a couple of weeks.
Sounds like extortion :P
I'll let our TF2 admins determine this... I'm pretty sure we'll be starting with a relatively clean ban list.
I can confirm this. Our platform works differently from pretty much every other league website that has ever been around. We'll be running a clean slate for Team Fortress 2, so don't delay. :]

If the ETF2L admins will allow it, I'd reach out to players on their forums. If you don't need to, you shouldn't rely on one player to start a regional division.

I've already told Eyal that if he launched a European ladder it'd get a big playerbase instantly as long as the site is easy to manage and doesn't put people off. It's a great idea and would be a cool scrim-finding tool for almost any division.
I'd be wary of starting with a clean slate for TF2 though as you have no experienced anti-cheat team or client do you? Just seems like a bit of an invitation to hackers who've already been caught in other leagues.

Honestly, it's only fair to assume people are clean, especially if they've already been caught. Granted, yes, cheating again is a very real possibility, but the circumstance should let it speak for itself (and people should be given a second chance). Not to mention that relying on another league's ban list would just be a bit odd of them. I know ETF2L does great work in AC, but I'm pretty sure IGL would rather develop their own methodology.
But who knows. I'm not IGL.

Sums it up pretty well. We're concentrating on building the absolute best scrimming/ladder/matchmaking platform before dealing with anything else. The value we produce comes from having a central place for competing in leagues, ladders, regular scrimmages, team practices and sponsored events. Anti-cheat tech is interesting but only really applies to a certain type of game. It would be counter-intuitive for our vision to concentrate on a single engine (Source in this case) rather than producing a universal platform for any game.
Our 6v6 and Highlander ladders are now open. This is the best time to start giving feedback on how you'd like it to evolve. We won't be listening to anyone else than the TF2 community for our TF2 ops, so you guys have first dibs on feedback!
Have a great one,
E
