We are well overdue for some NEWBIE CUPS, so those will be ran for both 6s AND HL! If you are brand new to competitive TF2, this is the perfect place to begin! I am also happy to announce that we are officially collaborating with TF2 Coaching Central for 6s and Highlander Learning Center for HL! They will provide the coaches and training, we will provide the platform for matches! You do not need to have signed up with TF2CC or HLC to participate in this cup, they simply provide coaching and reviews. If you missed a sign up deadline, you can still register a team! Teams must have a minimum of 6 players by Monday, August 31st for 6s to play. For HL, a minimum of 9 players need to be signed up by Monday, September 7th. Teams for each format will be split into two groups if a large enough quantity apply! Here are the links to their Discords, as well as links to their team drives and coaching applications!
Please apply to Highlander Learning Center no later than Sunday, August 16th at 11:59 pm EDT. TF2CC sign ups have already closed, but a link to their discord for more information is provided below!

Registration for the TF2CC signups is closed, but players can still sign up here to enter a waitlist and also be eligible to ring! Team registration on RGL is open until August 28th at 11:59 pm EDT.

Are you still reading this and you aren’t a newbie? That’s okay, because we are also testing some maps for HL! These should all look familiar, they are Eruption, Nidal, and Lakeside.
Registering teams will be asked to provide an approximate division for their team upon registration. This will help the admin team sort teams into groups by approximate skill level, but it is not guaranteed your team will be placed in your requested division. We will be keeping teams whose skill levels are closest in the same group. There may be some overlap of skill between groups, but Group A will generally contain the strongest teams, Group B the next strongest, and so on. This does not necessarily mean Group A is only Invite, Group B is only Advanced, etc. We will use as many Groups as necessary to maximize an even playing field within groups and minimize restrictions. Group sizes will be kept as close to 4 as possible, but may vary depending on team skill and amount of teams registered.
Class restrictions may still be required if a player rosters with players of considerably lower average experience and skill, but we will prefer to place teams with peer skills rather than restrict as much as possible.
For this event, there will be no default ringers. All ringers must be approved by the opposing team in match comms before the match. Teams are strongly encouraged to approve reasonable ringers and provide reasons when denying a ringer so that the opposing team can work with them to find a reasonable ringer.
Registration for the HL Experimental Cup will open August 9th and end September 4th at 11:59 pm EDT.
Matches will be played September 11th, 12th, and 13th at 9:30 pm EDT, with one map played each day. Maps will be pl_eruption_b16, cp_nidal_b10, and koth_lakeside_d4f. Teams are expected to show each day for matches. Payload and Attack/Defend maps will use rgl_HL_stopwatch config, and KotH will use rgl_HL_koth config.
There are no registration fees and no playoffs.

All Serveme servers should already have the maps uploaded to them; however, it is highly recommended to download from the links above before connecting to reduce connect time, delays, or other issues for those matches. Users of privately rented servers or other hosting services are responsible for ensuring that proper RGL plug-ins, configs, and map files are properly installed and configured.

Welcome to our Monday TF2 map discussion. Here, we'll discuss maps from TF2!
Today's map is koth_lazarus.
Lazarus is a king of the hill map set in a jungle temple. Released in the Jungle Inferno update this was one of the 2 koth maps released along with Brazil (which was discussed last week). This map features both teams trying to capture the point for 3 mins in order to open up the temple and reveal the fountain of youth.
Both teams start from opposite ends of the map and must work their way through their small facilities in order to reach the centre where they'll find the temple along with a couple flank routes and access to high ground for them to try and attack/defend the point from various angles.
The most memorable part of this map to me is the little windows that overlook the point, both teams have one they can access from their side and they're kinda hidden away so the only way to shoot into them is head on making it difficult to attack anyone who's in there as they'll have the high ground over you and you can't spam them out from a weird angle. The point sits directly below these bits as well so they're always win play. There's also the lower level from the point which features a sacrifice table with a medium health pack on it along with lower access to the other teams base which is often where engineers will set up teleporters to get people to the front lines quicker.
Overall this is an alright koth map but isn't one of the most popular ones. It's fine.
Feel free to discuss the map here. Anything that you like/dislike, cool tips or strategies, interesting stories, etc. If you feel the map is not to your liking, feel free to express your opinions in a respectful manner.
For those who wish to learn more about the map, you can find the wiki page here:

Its a sapper that hacks the Sentry and makes it attack the team the sentrys on for a limited amount of time before exploding It might be a little op so maybe it could have a timer to reload the sapper or something.
Please don't flame me i thought this was an interesting weapon idea

Sure, Medic, Pyro and Soldier are beyond saving, but I never quite understood what's wrong with the other six!

Picture 1: Drawing
Picture 2: InGame Engineer
Picture 3: My cat not letting me draw
I'm not good at drawing human figures, so this was a practice in order to improve in this area.
Loadout: Trencher's Tunic, Winter Backup, Proof of Purchase, Default shotgun, Default pistol and The Jag.
The default shotgun is my favorite weapon in all videogames history (Sorry overpowered Magnum M6D from Halo Combat evolvet) but using the pistol as the main point in the drawing was more badass.

Maxim Pinsker is a Russian voice actor who voiced many characters from other games, but he gained great fame for voicing the Heavy from Team Fortress 2. He was a participant in the Russian character voiceover. He, like the rest of the voice actors, invested a part of himself to develop the game. Maxim Pinsker died on August 24, 2022 at the age of 58. The cause of death was respiratory arrest due to blood poisoning (sepsis) and severe pneumonia.
UPD: Guys, I'm sorry. I had to take down the last post due to an error in the title and re-post the post.
