USA vs Europe!
The ubercharge tournament has been going in quiet yet steady pace through the Summer. Now things are starting to get interesting, as only 5 teams out of the 160 remain. While Dignitas, Broder and Epsilon already made the cut to the semi finals, TCM and Complexity is set to play the only remaining quarter final - and considering the teams' prestige in respective continents, this could be one for the books.

However, there's trouble. As could be read on this site earlier, Complexity's roster this week is half new. Ubercharge is governing a strict policy of no mercs allowed, which isn't uncommon for prize tournaments such as this. That could mean the end of this game even before it's even played. On IRC, tournament admin Bpf explains:

We can't, we can not force all time long all teams to play with their registered lineup and then say "oh that's coL, they are allowed to change their whole lineup. Even if we would allow them to play with their new lineup they won't have all theses players online tonight.

NZFL 1 - PLAYOFFS!
Misc News Posted by valk, 20th August 2010

NZFL PLAYOFFS have been posted!

Playoff positions were determined by the most wins, and then if that was a tie, the cap difference. This puts n1 up against mf, and =sg= against ftw. Both games should be a great watch and hopefully we can get some STV relays up

A quick note to clan captains: There is a pool of 3 maps, this means there is an elimination from each team due over the next 48 hours. More instructions can be found in the match threads on how that works.

These playoffs matches will also be played using the half system. Once again, more details can be found in the match threads.

NZFL will continue straight after the playoffs (2 weeks long), expect slight rule adjustments, Australian invites, and a new map list over the next fortnight. Stay tuned!

A little over 2 hours ago, EG. CB launched mygamingedge.com - a site that should be added to every competitive TF2 player's bookmarks.
We created My Gaming Edge to help bring your game to the next level. The top Team Fortress 2 players around the world have gathered to show you what it takes to be the best. These players will not only explain what's going through their head during live matches but will show you the ins and outs of playing at the invite level, answer your questions and much more. Plus, a weekly podcast featuring the best players in the world breaking down the competitive scene here and in Europe.
The TF2 ecosystem is starving for content that will help the players and the community grow. Our goal at MGE is to do as much as possible to bring you the most up to date news, gossip, league coverage, video content and more.
Whether you are just getting started with competitive play or looking for that extra push to break through to the top level, My Gaming Edge is the place for you.
Currently all of the content is free, but there are plans for a "premium package" involving a subscription. Details on how much exactly remain to be seen, but if the content from these guys is regular, then I can't see it being an issue.

All times are GMT +12. The time now is 12:13 PM.
