RGL S3 Main quarterfinals wrap up with #2 Hairline Treatment Centre vs. #7 Rodney & The Stangers. The former were comfortably (at least on paper / record) the 2nd best team in the division all throughout the regular season, while the latter had a string of super close losses that could've turned their 10-6 record into something like 13-3. Of course, I'm gonna bring up that this is gonna be exciting because of the storylines. The Stangers are trying to create an upset as the lower seed to advance to semfinals, and would be the only non-top 4 seed to do so. If they want it though, they have to go through a familiar face. HTC's alfredodan was the Stanger Demoman during their S1 campaign in which they became IM champions. Now with some up-and-comers alongside a TF2 boomer such as flatline, both rosters have a mix of old and new. If things go all the way to Clearcut, that should make things hella interesting. This is because these two teams met up on that map during the regular season, with HTC taking a 4-3 victory. Will alfredodan get his "revenge" against Rodney? Will Abstand hit every single rollout? Will I confuse Asi4n and Kore4n's names? Tune in tonight at 10:30 EST to find out.

August gets underway as playoffs coverage continues. Tonight we have #4 WORX WG547 20V (2.0Ah) vs. #5 Space Cadets. The former is some sort of leaf blower bullshit while the latter does not actually have SpaceCadet'HX on the team. Regardless this series looks to be the most exciting of the Main quarterfinals. Furthering this belief is the regular season matchup between these two teams, where WORX took a 5-4 victory during Snakewater week. Lots of familiar faces across these two rosters, it should be a good time. Who will punch their ticket to top four? Find out at 10:30 EST.

Kinda sad not seeing posts in this thread but I have zero shame so I'm gonna continue. #4 C-SPAN are going up against #12 Bada Bing as July comes to a close. We watched C-SPAN earlier this season, as one of the wonderful Newbie Mix Team Drive teams. They've had an excellent season making it all the way to playoffs 6-2 as the 4th seed (albeit with some roster shakeups). Bada Bing also had quite a solid showing, with a 5-3 record. The difference in their records came their week 7 matchup on Viaduct, which ended in a 4-3 victory for C-SPAN. Looking forward to seeing how C-SPAN have grown, having to say some silly aliases, and no KOTH maps. It all starts at 9:30 EST tonight.

BLANCTV is back with more Amateur playoffs tonight: #4 BattleScarred-Idiots vs. #5 Antihero Collective. Both teams went 6-2 during the regular season, with Anithero Collective losing a super close 4-3 Snakewater match against Fist'n'Feast, the #1 seed and only undefeated team in the division. Hopefully we'll have something equally as exciting as last week's Amateur broadcast, though that is certainly a lot of hype to live up to.

Jojo was someone I tried to pick up for my teams every time we had a Scout vacancy. Time after time he'd decline whether because he wasn't planning on playing that season or was gonna take a chill season with friends. All it took was a global pandemic of insane proportions to finally get him on BLANC. And what can I say, he's a beast. Hilarious and talented individual who plays a bunch of classes (RGL ranked his Soldier a 7!!) and a bunch of videogames (Smash Ultimate, Rivals of Aether). He has the second-best laugh of any of my previous teammates (nazara still #1). A very solid teammate that addresses issues when needed, but also praises big plays from his teammates - and himself. Unfortunately it looks like we'll be splitting after just one season, but it was a great season, and I know he'll be a good fit wherever he goes. Kaidus wishes he was as fast as Jojo will be on Demoman.

Edit: Catch HRTeam vs. Cat Posse tomorrow at 10:30 EST on the official TFTV stream. Should be a good one.

BLANCTV gears up for another week of playoffs. As this is currently the only match happening on Tuesday, we'll be bringing #1 Scooby Snacks (15-1) vs. #16 onlyfans.com/SpadesSlick (8-8) to the table. Unlike the previous two Main #1 seeds and future champions, Scooby Snacks didn't go undefeated in the regular season. Their single loss came at the hands of the #6 seed Pootis Von Epic. Not only that but they've also scraped out of three additional super close games with but a one round difference. Meanwhile subscribers to Spades' onlyfans may tune in for epic offclasses and other things? I have no idea what to expect from them. The winner goes on to meet #9 blu in the next round. If other games end up being scheduled for Tuesday night then this could change.

Tune in to BLANCTV Thursday night at 10:30 EST for some Div.2 playoffs between #3 The Bradman Bunch (11-5) vs. #6 Cat Posse (9-7). We're gonna ignore a plethora of...controversial topics, like Plumpwench's disqualification, ShiningStar playing Scout, both starting Medics getting banned this week, and the fact that there are six playoff teams to begin with. Let's just have some good ol' fashioned fragging. And with not one but two KOTH maps in store, I think we'll get just that. Who will be the ultimate King of the Hill? Will it be Highlander players, or will it be ShiningStar?

Amateur playoffs kick off tomorrow night at 9:30 EST, with #8 Go Raw, Organic Granola Bars! (6-2) hosting #9 The Moviegoers (5-3). As the closest possible matchup between seeds, this should be an exciting set. Further backing that statement is their regular season matchup, in which the Organic Granola Bars squad took a 4-3 Clearcut victory, which ended up being the difference in these two teams' records at the end of the day. While no KOTH will be played, I still expect a lot of back-and-forth in this one.

What to say about zanda?

For starters, he's an excellent fragger. As you can see here, zanda is beast on both Scout and Sniper. He's done some unfair things over the seasons, whether it be a string of kills or solo-forcing (or dropping) a Medic. He absolutely will perform at a high level. zanda has swapped between combo and flank during his time with BLANC and he performs well on both. Personally I think he is better at flank, or at the very least more comfortable on that side of the ball. Plus he gets to play Sniper more. But don't let that dissuade you from putting him combo-side. He's grown an incredible amount from a calling perspective over the last year. Maybe think of it like his flank Scout has the higher floor, but combo has the higher ceiling.

As a teammate, there's nothing to not like about him. He has a fluid mindset and great personality. No toxicity, no immaturity, no bullshit. One of the most consistently level-headed teammates I've had the pleasure of sharing a Mumble with under BLANC. You get the same person if you're up four rounds or down four rounds. Knows when to be super serious and when to loosen up. zanda has the drive to improve, and reminded me a lot of Muse's early days when he constantly pushed himself and the team to greater heights.

His biggest weakness can be classified as a meme but unironically is like the only thing that he struggles with, which is the inability to tell his lefts from his rights. If I had a dollar every time he fucked those directions up I'd have hosted two Valve TF2 majors by now.

If this was our last season together, then I'll miss gaming with him dearly. Wish you nothing but the best of luck, zanda.

(Disclaimer: the first default day for playoffs is the 21st so programming may change depending on what is scheduled when. May eschew casting this in favor of playoffs so TBD.)

On Tuesday the 21st at 10:30 EST, RGL Season 3's regular season draws to a close with the final match before playoffs get rolling. Nonetheless, Rodney & The Stangers (9-6) host yeremy (8-7) for a Process showdown. Rodney & friends have the 8th seed locked up and can at most improve a spot to 7th. Meanwhile, yeremy AKA The YOMIES have a lot on the line. They could claim up to the 10th seed with a victory, or fall out of the playoffs entirely with a loss - score-pending. onlyfans.com/SpadesSlick will be watching this match closely, for they can steal the 16th spot if yeremy loses with a scoreline of 5-0, 5-1. or 4-0. Tune in for the usual bad camerawork and fun action.

These gamers will unleash hell upon their opponents every night. Also you will be thoroughly entertained by the trio of saam with two a's, hedgehog underscore hero and the tomato tom.

Rest well, yomps. A legend that will always be remembered for the person and player you are.

Take care of yourselves, everyone.

As the rest of the league continues to wrap up their final regular season matches, BLANCTV will do the same but not before providing some more Newcomer action as Mann Fried Eggs (4-3) battle Chungening (4-3) at 10:30 EST. As you can see, both teams sit at an identical 4-3 record with the last match hanging in the balance. Currently, Mann Fried Eggs sits at 15th seed, barely making the playoff cut. Meanwhile Chungening is on the outside looking in, but a win should in all likelihood push them into playoffs. Not entirely sure what the scenario is for Mann Fried Eggs should they lose, but either way both teams definitely have something to play for. Should be exciting.
