You guessed it, we’re back and more pumped than EVER!

What’s that? You haven’t a clue what’s going on? Well first of all, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Shintaz and I’m bad at TF2. However, that doesn’t stop me from organising one of the LARGEST TF2 events EVER! That’s right; the European edition of SPUF 6v9 has come around once again!

If you don’t know the rules or haven’t heard of it before, quite frankly you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months! If you have found yourself living under a rock and want to know what’s going down, let me explain:

• It’s a clash of the titans event, as six of the very best European players (hand picked from the top10 teams) face off against nine regular every day public players (hand picked from the steam forums).
• The six Europeans will be playing as they usually would competitively – class limit 2, demo limit 1, medic limit 1 (that’s 2 scouts, 2 soldiers, 1 medic and 1 demo to me and you).
• The nine public players will be playing the game in highlander mode – class limit 1 (that’s one of each class to me and you).
• The official rules used will be the same used in the European Team Fortress 2 league – this covers basic areas of competitive play, such as no-crits, a time limit and a win limit.

Sound awesome? Want to get involved? Sadly, you can’t. The public roster is full and has been for a while and everybody is rearing to go! Both full rosters are:

The Pub Team:
Scout: Bennyg
Soldier: sturdypete
Pyro: MrAmPm
Demoman: HeroNL
Heavy: deviland
Engineer: NearNihil
Medic: NdangeredSpycrab
Sniper: metaljarate
Spy: evilduck

The Pros:
Scouts: TCM|zerox // dignitas/bybben
Soldiers: cube.idk? // WeMadeFux Evil
Demoman: TLR|Thy
Medic: TCM|Byte (yes, he plays medic now!)

With each roster being completely full and everything from STV to a mumble cast sorted, everybody is ready to go! I decided to talk to a few people from each team, to see what they thought participating in such an event:

Late night game tonight, Kicking off @ 12:30 AM EST, which I guess is tomorrow, but not if you live on the West Coast! Suckers!

This is gonna be a huge match up. 6-0 Complexity will be facing off against the 2-4 Evil Geniuses, who have just started to climb back up the standings with 2 wins over AG and Area 51. Reptile has switched back to Soldier, with Phelon claiming it to be a matter of improving their communication... Scruff stepped into the scout spot in their last two matches.

With this match-up against Complexity on CP_granary, EG has a chance to show the world that they still are a top contender! They need to turn their season around soon, and while Complexity is going to be extremely tough opposition, EG will be trying their best to get a win here. Prior to this match, EG is also scheduled to play a game against Nexus Gaming @ 10:30AM EST, which should be indicative of their site of mind prior to the match vs. Complexity.

Commentary will be handled by eXtine and m0lk the tiger... Rawr!
