Full Tilt signed by Perilous Gaming

Full Tilt, the 3rd place finisher of last season, have picked up a sponsorship in Perilous Gaming.

The team, led by Sideshow, joined Premiership last season and surprised many by taking third seed going into playoffs. While they were unable to best their opponents, #tf2center and Reason Gaming, they continued to play under the name Full Tilt. They remained without a sponsor, however, as their name was mostly a homage to the tendencies of their team. The team is currently 2nd in the Premiership tables.

They began contacting various organizations due to the upcoming matchmaking release, but the responses left little potential. In early January, Perilous Gaming reached out to them, interested in a potential sponsorship. After following the team's progress for a little while, an agreement was made and the team will now be playing under the Perilous banner for DHS and i58.

Team leader Sideshow had this to say:

Our team is taking a serious approach to winning the upcoming playoffs and tournaments in 2016. Mick from Perilous contacted us a few months ago, clearly interested in the TF2 scene and our team in particular due to its strong UK roots and position within Premiership. I think we both have the same core goals, aiming to slowly grow our team's reputation and number of achievements over 2016. We were impressed by his eagerness to get involved with us, and we feel Perilous will genuinely value having us on-board. It is not often that orgs are willing to do anything but pay lipservice to TF2 teams, often prioritising low-tier teams from other larger esports. This was a nice fresh change! We're fully aware that Perilous is a small org, but we are willing to put in effort alongside them to grow the name within TF2.

The Perilous Gaming roster is as follows:

  • Scout: Astt
  • Scout: Thalash
  • Roamer: Sideshow
  • Pocket: Silentes
  • Demoman: Spudd
  • Medic: kos

Cool to see new orgs interested in TF2, regardless of size. Of course it all boils down to the level of support they're willing to give, though it's certainly not hard to give more support than many other sponsors we've seen in the scene lmao

That would involve getting Silentes to LAN, so no.

Why not? He said he wanted to go, he just didn't have the funds which could be taken care of as of now since they got a sponsor.

Honestly the most disheartening thing every time I see a TF2 team get picked up by an org is all the pictures on their websites featuring things like the heavy or "the one tf2 picture that everyone knows" (you know what I'm talking about). Just shows how little people understand comp TF2 in the wider esports scene (or, more cynically, how little time orgs tend to put into their TF2 sections) (it's the same thing whenever I see Melee players who have banners plastered with Smash 4 art). The only org I've seen get this somewhat right in the recent past is NerdRage, so shoutouts to them.

Good on Full Tilt for getting picked up, though - getting sponsored is always a welcome sign.

Not yet. The same guys we did DHW with have a booth at the event, they just need to decide what they're doing with it. They've been very open to the idea of using it for TF2 though.

I'd say CoolerMaster were pretty cool with the tf2 community as well
