We’ve nearly finished our WPTF2L7v7 season, we currently have one game left to play. Having won all our games so far, we are guaranteed a top two position, but hopefully we can put in a good performance and top our division.

We are still trialling demo men, Troublegirl is helping us out for ETF2L until we’ve got a replacement.

Last night we had a close game on cp_freight against Team 31, drawing 2-2 after almost capping in the final miliseconds of the map. Team 31 won the second map 5-0.

The results page has been updated with our latest results. We beat Nicey in our WPTF2L 7v7 game on Sunday, although Nicey were a player down for the first map and 3 players down for the second. We are still awaiting confirmation of our final WPTF2L6v6 standing, however it seems almost certain that we will be relegated.

A Team Fortress 2 patch was released on Thursday, giving the sniper and spy new unlocks. These unlocks are not allowed in leagues until further notice.

Tonight we play Box? in our WPTF2L7v7 game, which promises to be an extremely important match in determining the top placings in our division. We start at 8:30pm and play on pl_badwater and cp_steel, source tv is the usual 9men.org.uk:27040 address.

We are currently still trialling demo men, unfortunately due to our hectic league schedule we haven’t been able to play many friendlies, so this is taking a while. Hopefully everyone will be patient with us, sorry for the delay.

Finally, if you see -9m- Turkey on a server, be sure to ask him whether he’s unlocked the ambassador yet!

On Tuesday 12th March we started our ETF2L Season 5 campaign, losing 4-1 and 5-2 to Team Delete on cp_fastlane and cp_badlands respectively. On Thursday 14th March we beat CiC in our WPTF2L7v7 game, winning both cp_steel and cp_ramrod. This result means we are currently the only team in our division with a 100% win record. Hopefully this will continue!

On Sunday we hope to play our penultimate WPTF2L6v6 game against ScS. We will then play our remaining game against iw on Tuesday 19th March.

Last Sunday we played our first WPTF2L7v7 game of the season, beating DA 1-0 on cp_dustbowl and pl_badwater. On Tuesday we played a thrilling game of WPTF2L6v6 against XC, narrowly winning cp_gravelpit 2-0 and drawing cp_fastlane 4-4 after going 4-0 down. Fastlane in particular was a tremendous effort by everyone, well done.

Next week we start our fifth season of ETF2L, against Team Delete. This means we will be playing 3 league games a week, which will mean we’re not available for friendlies until we finish WPTF2L6v6 in a few weeks time.

We have also welcomed Weevil back, after almost a month’s absence due to PC problems.

Our results page is up to date with friendlies and league games. Last week we lost to Phoenix Squad 7-1 on cp_granary and 7-0 on cp_badlands in WPTF2L6v6. This week we play Auth on Thursday at 8:30pm, and we also start our WPTF2L7v7 season against DA on sunday at 8pm.

We have had some re-schuffling of clan members, Zimri joins us and Viluliina leaves us. We are currently considering getting a second/main demo.

Over the past two weeks we’ve played our first two WPTF2L6v6 League games. We lost 3-0 and 3-2 against PTT on cp_granary and cp_badlands respectively, and won 8-5 and 4-0 against CiC on ctf_turbine and cp_fastlane respectively. Looking at how close the division is after two games, it promises to be a really enjoyable season.

We have also played a few more friendly games, results are now updated on the results page.

We also welcome Viluliina to our squad, he has been playing Demo man for us for the past few weeks.

We have entered and begun the new Wireplay TF2 6v6 season, our first match is against french clan PTT which will be scheduled hopefully for next week. We are also signed up the the new season of Wireplay TF2 7v7, which has some interesting rules that will hopefully provide something very different to the standard 6v6 game.

In other news we are through to Round 3 of the ETF2L Highlander Cup. We have also been playing in the UKESA Open Division, and have finished ETF2L Season 4.
