Fantastic cause, wish I had the money to donate, I myself have struggled with anxiety and depression although nothing really severe thankfully but I do know people who have it much worse than me and I work in an organisation that sometimes has to deal with people with mental health issues and it truly is a very debilitating thing and something that even in this day and age is stigmatised.

So I'm so pleased to see someone making an effort to help these people.

ETF2L Highlander Season 10 High Division week 6 preview

It’s pl_barnblitz week! Plus we have a “new” section in my article. Nothing that innovative but potentially provocative! So come along and pay us a visit and we’ll tell you all you need to know for this week’s highlander action.

ETF2L Highlander Season 10 High Division week 5 preview

Join us as we venture out into the familiar ground of pl_badwater. This map has been a part of the ETF2L Highlander scene since it's inception and the meta has had 4 and a half years to evolve but that doesn't mean everyone knows it!

Let's find out who will be hanging out with the hoodoos this week.

ETF2L Highlander Season 10 High Division week 4 preview

Another week, another map for our HL tournament. This week is cp_steel, divider of opinions, ruler of chokepoints and punisher of those who cannot move properly on E. Let's take a look at the matchups this week.

This is a fairly unusual suggestion but what if we just organised a match between the top NA and top EU team? It seems to me like the EU players and NA players have a fundamentally different mindset about the game chiefly because they play differently and rarely face off agaisnt each other so perhaps the 2 sides can only come to a consensus about the booties when they see both points of view in a real game setting.

It would also serve to build hype for the upcoming i58 LAN and I believe we've done this sort of thing in the past to generate hype for another insommnia LAN (I believe it was i52 but I'm not 100% on that). Ping would obviously be an issue but if we played one map on a US server and one map on an EU server it could give us an idea of how the booties could play out in a real inter-continental setting even if it's not perfect ping-wise.

Now you know who is playing, let’s see who they are playing against. Surprise! That’s right, I have a second article for you this week. Let’s see who the teams will be playing in this upcoming week on pl_borneo.

Who’s next? – ETF2L Highlander Season 10 High Division roster rundown

After a thrilling season of High 6s, I think it’s about time we looked at the other equally exciting tournament that has been happening concurrently with the 6s playoffs; ETF2L High division Highlander.

That’s right it’s time to delve into the format where no class is forbidden, no gimmick too EU, no med pick too unimportant.

Let’s take a look at this season’s High teams from our view from The Spire.

Excuse the double post but I've just been asked by someone in the High HL division to write articles for it, would you guys want that? I know one person in the comments on my last piece expressed their dis-interest in HL describing it as a "waste of my talents" but I wanna know what everyone else thinks first since the opinions seem to be quite mixed.

The Final Fracas - ETF2L High 6s grand final preview

This is it! Through many trials and tribulations, our 2 grand finalists have made it to the last hurdle. Who will take the guarenteed premiership spot and who will have to tough it out against Team Infused for their shot at the top division? Join me as I look at their performance from the last week and ask who will be the champion of ETF2L's 23rd High 6s season.

Got 8 to give out right now, add me on steam.

Fantastic news, I've wanted an EU newbie mixes for a long time (and thought about starting it myself) and we've finally got one with a sponsor backing it! Trés bien.

The Ferocious Four – ETF2L High division semi-finals preview

After a rollercoaster week of the 3rd to 6th seeded teams fighting for their survival, the big boys are back this week to assert their continuing dominance in what is shaping up to be a riveting race to the finals for the final 4 teams. Join me as I spell out the monumental tasks the remaining teams await in their campaign for the championship.

Holy shit that looks so good, is that actually for a real upcoming article or did you make it for fun?

As the person who started this project, my personal intention was never to start a fight with TF2C. Heck I used to be an admin on their site and put probably 100s of hours of my own time into that site so doing anything to harm them would've been counter productive.

The way I see it, TF2Stadium's massive selling point is the open source nature since if anyone who has experience in the languages we wrote the site in (mostly GO and CSS but check our github) want to contribute to the site in any way then they can do so at their leisure and I believe the fact that it's not just our developers making the site allows our project to improve from a whole communities worth of experience.

In addition the GPL license we've put on 90% of the site code means if anyone wants to use any part of it to make another website then all we ask is you credit us somewhere on your site. No costs, no strings attached. Our code is there to help the community and it will continue to exist even if our site goes under and for me that is something that is more important than beating the competition.

Although I left the project some time ago, I've been keeping an eye on it for a while and I'm so glad that we made it to open beta. So many people have worked so hard on this site and I'm relieved that everyone will get to see what a tremendous effort everyone has put in to making the site as fantastic as it possibly can be. My hope now is that the wider community of developers can help them even more by contributing to their github as being open source in my opinion is one of the major advantages over any other similar site.

To all of those who have worked on this project, whether we've agreed or disagreed in the past. I salute you and thank you for your work on this project that I started so long ago.
