Foreskings enter the realm of Premiership

Foreskings have been crowned Division 1 winners last season, and have managed to not lose any of their players during the off-season, which allowed them to move up to Premiership without having to go through the qualifiers. The Israeli team used to be a fixture of the tier below Prem from Season 21 to 30, and even featured in the top level once during Season 23, already obtaining qualification from winning High in Season 22. Still in possession of 3 players from their previous Prem stint and with the added experience of last season, Foreskings could prove a tricky and wily opponent for any team.

JackyLegs is the team leader for Foreskings and has been on the roster for over 8 years now, but is also renowned for their Highlander skill, notably playing on Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! and winning the “Soldier of the Season” award a staggering 10 seasons in a row. The most experienced member of the team when it comes to top level 6v6, however, is Lanzer who had impressed with their Flank Scout stint on Virtus.Bro, winning the “Best debut of the season” award, and also playing on Coffin Clan and GREMLINS, two teams who would sadly end up dropping partway through the seasons. Lanzer will make another debut in Season 41, as they return to the top Flight as a Demoman.

The scout pair, made up of Phnx on Pocket Scout and Zoey on Flank Scout, is the newest part of Foreskings, as neither of them had played on the team before Season 40. Phnx is an experienced player who even featured in the Premiership Qualifiers for Season 25 with Stevie Wonder’s Aim School and who took a lengthy hiatus before joining Foreskings. Zoey, on the other hand, is a newer name within the scene who quickly made a name for themselves, getting playoffs in their first ever Division 1 season with Whatever, and will be eager to continue their quick rise.

Last but not least are wackey and Zangetsu, both of them (alongside JackyLegs) veterans of the last Foreskings foray into Premiership. Zangetsu was remembered as an especially slippery Medic, and will be looking to prove that they still got some moves, while wackey's coordination with their other soldier is probably reaching levels of almost telepathy, as the last time they did not play together was during Season 19.

JackyLegs sat down with us to provide some refreshing answers :

TEAMFORTRESS.TV : Foreskings had not played in 10 seasons before your S40 comeback. What prompted this return and was winning Division 1 always the goal ?

What prompted this return is most thanks to http://tf2pickup.co.il, before we launched the site I didn't think about making the team but once I sent the site to every Israeli I could contact I quickly realized that some players are still hungry to compete. wackey, who recently came back to the game from military service, played a big part by pushing me to build the team again.

The goal was always winning but we knew that will only come if we worked hard towards that goal.

TEAMFORTRESS.TV : How does it feel to come back to Prem 18 seasons after your last appearance ?

It feels great, last time was special but now we're much more ready for the challenge that's ahead.

TEAMFORTRESS.TV : Do you think your team's experience with playing together can give you an edge in nervy officials, or even help you pull out upsets ?

Our team's chemistry is probably our biggest strength, we know each other well and our roles within the team are well defined which allows us to play with confidence when facing a deficit and when facing tough opponents.

Hoping they can make the cut in the top level, Foreskings is :

  • Pocket Scout: Phnx
  • Flank Scout: Zoey
  • Roamer: JackyLegs
  • Pocket: wackey
  • Demoman: Lanzer
  • Medic: Zangetsu
