On the surface, this is real

match.tf is now back online with a new hosting location and new ownership under Printstream.

Why has this happened? We heard that match.tf would end up shutting down very soon due to increasing costs and we didn't want to see that happen to such a useful service within our competitive TF2 scene.

Printstream exists to empower esports, especially within TF2, we operate the EssentialsTF production org, the LANTF website, livestream graphics grid system, Twitch Essentials YouTube Channel and more. We're excited to bring match.tf into the Printstream group and build on the work laid down by 200.

We're keeping the Discord the same for everyone (Join here!) and the existing site admins will be kept on to help everyone out as always!

Swiss system in the future is on the cards - but we'll need to overcome the problems in the past running Swiss in a cup (match delays preventing next round generation, signups numbers being less than non-Swiss cups).

A better structure for the top level teams to compete on a more even playing field is 100% something we're looking to change in the future.

We understand that as a team leader a lot of information is required, usually we wouldn't ask for emails for every teammate but in the DreamHack cup prize money is being sent to each player in the team. Hindsight now says we will just ask for the extra details when required after the cup ends.

As for ETF2L links etc, in the past it is a MASSIVE pain when people put all different varieties of steamids (steam2s, steam3s, steam64s, vanity urls etc, incorrect ids entirely), using ETF2L profile urls, we can lookup the steam64 ids from them, and it should be something that is easier to get hold of for team leaders over steamids and something with a lower chance of being fudged (thought this did happen on some somehow).

Multi-weekend sounds great in theory but in practice it is made more difficult when say ETF2L seasons are on - more thought needs to be put into that viability

The future, anything is possible......

Nearly 8 years for me with no prem despite production, sorry bud it doesn't get better.

Doesn't it just bring back those 2016 cold swedish memories with early morning flights and sitting in airports?
