prem

4house probably will win
korras team lost prem quals and died (big shock on second part did not expect that)
JoeN has changed his etf2l name, news to me!
high
graham gaming back which is cool +rep but they lost their first game -rep so now on equal rep
7 teams cuz prem qual loser died unlucky bye week sucks
mid
there is team that won every season they played called sbqrra. i don’t know what this means but they are italian so it’s probably italian word. let’s see if they can do it again.
some dramas about teams moving div mid season, we are in week 2 right now. this results in 13 teams in mid (with no drops) so bye weeks are prevalent.
Team with etf2l admins on it signed up late and were put in mid and some people were crying about it.
xenon is still playing.
Team colonslash is back! yippee
low
also has odd number of teams so bye week. lol.
architects of doom is playing again, this makes 13 seasons in a row. cool!
just a rabbit same situation, 13 seasons. cool!
open
has 17 teams because a team dropped. this means every division but prem has bye weeks. epic
sorry i don’t know any open drama hopefully some commenters can indulge
fresh
there is no fresh division! this sucks hopefully there is more signups over the next season to allow this. or maybe have open be smaller and let the not as experienced(?) open teams play in fresh
also there was a massive ban wave between around time provisional tiers were released which killed like half a dozen teams lol
as i’m writing this my spy just got banned hahahaha fuck this LMFAO

Feila finanzieren durch DROPS (translation: Feila financed through DROPS) has lost their swedish maestro satan. Unsure what his plans are for the season as he has only played tf2center since their week 2 official. Feila on the other hand, seems to have their substitution sorted. Although it is not officially announced, Korra has been playing their scrims so far.

Wicked Lotus has added veteran Danish player, Divi, to their ranks. It appears he will be taking the main heavy spot, from Mlody. This actually happened last week but I didn't notice until now sry. This is certainly interesting as divi has not played a highlander season in over 6 years, only returning for the nations cup between now and then.
Mid
As it turns out the mid team with the admins on it has not disbanded, though they have lost all their admins. The team has now undertaken a leadership transferication, with Morbus taking the reigns. However, it is important to note that he still has an *active* recruitment post... Will they complete the season???? How are they allowed to change their entire roster???? Will they win their week 3 official against a team with 0 points??? so many questions, so little time.. tune in to the next edition to find out.
Additionally, Kristof's ban for harrassment has expired, he will assume his previous role as leader of the team and primary demoman player. With steko moving to the bench for now. This is a big change for the undefeated-tied-leaders of the middle division right now, will it be for the better... or WORSE?? tune in next edition to find out.

In Zoo(V)'s matchup against Champions of Light Juniors (both russian teams), the russians were unable to show up. Resulting in a default win for the russians, which russians you ask? thats for me to know and you to find out. This makes 0/3 wins for CoLJ, as they've lost their early week 3 matchup against Finish stack, Tissit. However, there is more to this than meats the EYE. Using my expert journalism decryption skillz i have managed to get a rough translation of the codewords used on the match page. From the intelligence that I have gathered, it seems the players on CoLJ are accusing those on Zoo(V)'s of alting. Which is completely out of character for any russian team to do. Therefore CoLJ decided to not show up to the match in a form of protest, which I believe it is illegal to do in Russia actually. According to Zoo(V)'s players, Apparently a conspiracy is arising, of someone named "Bob" (unclear, perhaps an alias) using methods such as high division alt accounts and "Dudos". I have no idea what dudos means. google says it refers to a jamaican drug cartel ran by a man named Christopher Coke, his name is actually coke and they distribute cocaine into the USA, you cant make this up LMFAO. Apparently bob's personal home was used as a base of operations for these wrongdoings. This player has also made some sort of threat? maybe? about a previous player going against him, and it ending poorly for them. Though im not sure if this is coming from Zoo(V) or from CoLJ as the introduction to each message is @main friends, indicating it is a team discord announcement. Perhaps there is a spy within the ranks of one of these teams, reporting to the other of its ongoings.

The team Rias Gremory Fan Club has recieved a point deduction as 7/9 players used the name "Rias Gremory Fan" during their week2 official against Oblock. Admin abuse in my opinion as this is clearly just their team tag.
Walter Hartwell White, the high school chemistry teacher, has made a SHOCKING transfer to one of the current top seed teams, The Hoonters. Coming from Contract in Flames, who had just lost to The Hoonters, this is truly one of the betrayals of all time. Luis Figo vibes.

Cilla Black Warriors (yak's team) played with varnu on scout instead of soldier and still managed to PWN feila. This is what yak had to say on the matter: "We go to feila we change the formation. We play really well. It doesn’t matter if we play varnu scout varnu soldier. We play the different formation varnu shines." lol

The daddy team of COLJ (full of drama this season as seen in the post above) Champions of Light used a default merc without showcasing this to the opponents. Truly disgusting behaviour. They therefore received a minor warning, not enough in my opinion. Should be dropped from the season.
The player tw4tter has left his premiership roster ride position to join Champions of Light. It is yet to be seen if this is a main or substitute position.
Mid
Xenon, one of the epicest teams of all time received a DEFAULT LOSS in their week 3 official. How? Well the inital matchup was a golden cap defeat for them on vigil, rewarding them with 2 points after a close match. However, the mandem on "BLEU" team went on the counter attack for those 2 points, crucial if they want to make playoffs this season. Xenon used an unverified player, acoul, who would not have been a default merc for their division. Since they did not request permission this has resulted in a default loss. My heartfeld condolences for the xenon players, however after almost 30 seasons together you would think they would know the rules by now.
In the matchup between two mid table teams, TC and Gibus and the Gang there was a shocking move by the Gibus players. After wasting 15 minutes to ready up because aaron was taking a shit, they decided to so exactly at 21.30 to avoid a default loss (smart move) however they immediately paused without waiting for TC permission. Resulting in a minor warning hahaha

The team Contract In Flames has received a minor warning for not providing the default merc to the opposition. This one is actually really funny because they proposed 6 mercs and somehow he wasnt included in this list.
What should have been an exciting matchup in The Hoonters v Oblock actually ended up being a very disappointing day. The Hoonters failed to show up!!! I mean really, you are top of the league, most of the players for their first season and somehow they cannot manage their time properly to arrange a date where they are able to participate. Shame.
koyaanisqatsi, otherwise known as admiro, has been permanently banned for death threads along side fried chicken of death. Perhaps this explains why the hoonters where unable to show up for their match? They were probably busy preparing a legal defence for their star sniper.

Last minute, who i really really really though had FINALLY dropped out just refuse to die. They played their official vs xenon without a scout, and where brutally dismembered by the OGs of highlander. 5 mercs were used in the game. absolutely bananas. may they rest in peaces.
Emiel merced for BLEU against Stealing Hearts; Pushing Carts in a potentially playoff deciding match.

3Flats leader here, Russians were denying the mercs we needed. We needed both a engi and med merc but kept on denying them so we had to get our sub sniper Emier on engi and ask our favorite Finnish med Koira to def merc and we had to give a maptalk half a hour before warmup.
After our warmup, the enemy team leader asked if we could accept one of their mercs, both were def mercs but needed our approval for one of them. We did the same treatment they did to us, we declined them as well and I specified it. In the end, they didn’t use one of their mercs they proposed, one was named Virtex and the other Fuome all though they didn’t get Virtex but they got another player called Wormganger to play solly. These people were also 3 minutes late but we still wanted to play so we did cause TF2 is fun.
In the end, we realized that they posted in the match page DURING offi their mercs that were not approved so not only they broke the rules yet call us weak because we got the def win and to let you know how funny this is: they only played for their sniper and solly merc to get the win. The solly was 100% an alt account and in their ETF2L it says they are open but they are 100% not.
In the end, we are against them in playoffs and it’ll be legendary LMAO
