Unfortunately not, no. Launching into Europe isn't something I'm prepared to tackle right now. I'd rather stick with North America, and then expand beyond that only when I know we're in the position to properly manage that. And I just don't see us (or me) being in that position for the foreseeable future.

A big part in making my own league, is having full control over how I promote and market it. These smaller "for fun" competitions are more of a way to attract newer players into Team Fortress 2, and to also separate TFCL from the other leagues out there. The idea is to promote these smaller tournaments, such as Heavy Boxing, in various forms of media. By live casting these tournaments, I'm hoping to create an esport broadcast that players from other competitive games (or non-competitive) can come in and understand, without having to read up any additional rules, or even understand how TF2 itself is played. Heavy Boxing is simple, and straightforward. It's easy to understand, and if broadcasted properly, could be very fun to watch. The goal is to bring new players into TF2, and spark an interest in the competitive world.

Once they're hooked into the wacky world of Team Fortress, they may decide to compete themselves. TFCL will make it very easy for these players to sign up and experience the competitive side of TF2. They'll eventually move their way up to the traditional 6v6 format. So really, I'm just trying to ease the transition, while also promoting TF2 as both an esport game, and as a fun game that anyone can play and enjoy.

So yeah, I can assure you, I definitely do have a plan. Whether or not it works out as intended, is really up to the current TF2 community. Without active players, we can't grow. Growing is the key to our success, but also the key to our plan of bringing TF2 into the light. This would also benefit other leagues, like UGC and ESEA. ESEA especially, since it's already branded as the highest level of competitive TF2. Once a player or team becomes familiar with TF2 competitive, they could move on to ESEA, which provides a premium experience that TFCL doesn't offer.

The Team Fortress Competitive League (TFCL) is a North American and European TF2 league and tournament website. The primary focus was to create a free yet accessible league for players of all skill levels to compete for prizes and in-game medals.

Ultiduo is back with a $300 prize pool, and for the first time ever, it's also available in Europe with a 200 key prize pool!

Sixes has returned for its 4th season! There's a $150 prize pool provided by the league, with the possibility of more being added later on in the season via sponsorships and further investments. Sixes is only available in North America, though teams and players from all around the world are able to join and compete at will, albeit on North American servers.

Highlander is returning for its second season! We had 11 teams sign up for our first season, which was 11 more than we expected, considering how TFCL is known primarily for Ultiduo and Sixes. However, there was definitely enough team and player support to keep highlander going another season.

Hey there, I'm looking for an awesome dude to help me up my Scout game. Things such as demo reviews, or just going over basic strategies and roles as a Scout.
I primarily play flank, though have lately been doing a more hybrid playstyle, which basically means my dm is going to hell. My team is now officially annoyed by my performance, and quite frankly, so am I. My hybrid style isn't working out, so I want to go back to pure and simple flank/aggro.

Feel free to add me if you're interested.

Location: New Jersey
IP: 8.2.122.85:27015
Type: MGE with Heavy and Engineer banned.

Server has been online for 7 years. To help maintain performance, it's restarted every night at 4 AM Eastern.

What graphics card are you using, and have you checked for or installed any firmware updates lately?
Have you tried removing any custom configs or huds? Just run vanilla everything, and see if that fixes the problem.

Yeah, I've tried verifying cache, and even redownloading the game. I don't use any custom huds. I use rhapsody's config, though the problem persists with stock.

This started happening about a week or two ago. Basically, I've been noticing that at random my game will do a hard freeze for several seconds, and then do some massive stuttering, followed by the sound of you coming out of some water. Movement lags for a few moments after this, and sometimes the sound (hit sounds) stop working requiring snd_restart.

I had something similar to this happen over a year ago, with the start of the Gunmettle update. That went away after a few months.

Is anybody else having this problem, and are there any known fixes? (configs or something that can maybe fix it)

Specs:
CPU: Intel i5 4690
GPU: GTX 980ti
RAM: 16GB
OS: Win 10

Also, I have no problems with any other games.

Textures and shadows are high. Everything else is low.

We found a medic. Thanks guys!

It seems like Medic is a cursed spot on my team, since every single medic we end up getting, quits due to schedule conflicts, or in the case of our last medic, a helicopter parent that put a password on the ESEA client.
So yeah, we're looking for a medic again. If you're interested in applying, just send me a friend request.

Just make sure you're available to actually play with us, and won't have a parent that denies you access to the ESEA client, or otherwise watches your every move. :p
Having a season or two of experience is also really helpful.

We're currently going 3-1-0 with two of our wins being forfeits. So basically, we're actually 1-1-0.

Currently looking for a last minute medic who can also act as the main caller for the team. If we can't find one, I'm going to personally take that role myself, though I'd honestly rather not play medic this season.

I'm also looking for a sub or two for basically everything.

If you're interested, please send me a PM. Provide references if needed.

Telepathic communication is the only kind of communication that matters. If you're using your words, you're doing it wrong

So just to clarify, you're a pocket scout, not a pocket soldier?

Hey. So, I'm kinda having issues with this whole roster thingy. Most of the current members are more "meh" about the team, with only myself and one other actually showing full commitment.

Because of their uncertainty, I'm looking for a demoman, both soldiers, and a medic. We currently have a demoman that isn't entirely committed, and a medic that's still in the air, and is trying out for other teams. So, those two spots may not be available. Depends on them, I suppose.

If you're interested in joining, please send me a PM. Just be sure to have any prior competitive references handy. Also, we're a serious team, so no memes are allowed. We play for the competition, but most of all, we play to win.

Did you find a team yet? If not, pm me.
