UGC TF2 Season 5 is underway! Having played their preseason game and a match on Badlands, many teams are looking forward to their next match on Viaduct. This season the UGC League is split into two brackets, Platinum and Steel. Platinum is for teams with past UGC experience while Steel is an open bracket. Another exciting detail is that Valve will be awarding merchandise from their online store to the top 3 teams.

This season of the UGC consists of many solid low/mid teams and I am excited to see how the league will unfold. I believe there will be a lot of close games based on what I have seen so far in the Steel bracket. Team Rogue had a very competitive preseason game against Systematic Gaming. Then Team Rogue won their first game on Badlands against the Exodus Society by a sick double scout backcap on spire and last. Even Team Legion and Camonna Tong had a very close first game, Legion securing the victory in an overtime round.

Besides these two games, I have noticed there were a lot of 6-0 games. Avoided and Enigma seemed to have breezed by their first match on Badlands, it will be interesting to see how they match up against each other in tomorrows' game on Viaduct. These matches tomorrow are critical to analyzing which teams are going to be top dog and I am anticipating the results.
