After a long time quietly building in the background, I'm excited to finally share something I've been working on since early 2023.
Introducing tf2esports.com.
The goal was simple to describe and hard to build. A central place to follow competitive Team Fortress 2. Our scene has produced incredible things across leagues, tournaments, broadcasts and community projects, but the information lives in a lot of different places. If you follow multiple regions, or you're new and trying to work out where to even start, it can be tough to keep up.
I'll be honest about part of what pushed me to do this. A lot of the coverage the scene used to lean on has quietened down. teamfortress.tv did an enormous amount for competitive TF2 and its mark on the community is permanent, but since around 2022 it has slowly wound down. The casts came to a stop, only a handful of articles have gone up, the staff who ran it have spread out across different casting organisations, and the owner moved over to their sister site vlr.gg. Following the game has quietly become harder than it should be, and I wanted to do something about that.
With TF2 approaching its 20 year anniversary next year, it feels like a good moment to make the scene easier to discover and easier to follow. For current players, for people coming back to the game, and for anyone finding competitive TF2 for the first time.
What the site does right now:
- Live stats. Scoreboards and kill feeds that update while a match is being played.
- Coverage of every league, globally. ozfortress, RGL, ETF2L, AsiaFortress, FBTF and matcha.tf all sync in automatically.
- Team rankings by region and format (6s and Highlander).
- Player statistics, with per-class performance, head-to-head records and transfer history
- Pick'ems for the big stuff. LDU 2026 is live to predict now, and RGL's Philly LAN goes up soon.
- News, articles, VODs and historical results going back years.
- An Android app on the way, and a Twitch extension so viewers can pull up live match data over a stream.
To give a sense of the scale behind it:
- 83,000+ matches across ozfortress, RGL, ETF2L, AsiaFortress, FBTF and matcha.tf, plus a decade of archived ESEA and UGC results.
- 22,000+ teams and 68,000+ players, with full rosters, transfer history, head-to-head records and per-class performance pulled straight from logs.tf.
Getting all of that to line up was a big part of the work. Syncing six leagues, reading logs.tf for tens of thousands of matches, and keeping rankings and stats accurate across every region meant designing a fair amount of the underlying logic from scratch. It's a huge amount of moving data, and some of it will still have rough edges. The rankings in particular are new, so if you see a result that looks off, I'd genuinely like to hear about it. Current issue seem to be related to rosters having different team names each season, and trying to match & merge them so their stats are combined. This has been difficult for me as I haven't been following other regions for a while, so some help would be great.
I want to be clear about the intention. This is not here to replace or compete with any league, casting org, community project or platform. The aim is for it to be neutral, unbiased infrastructure for the global scene. Really, I just hope some people find it useful for following the game.
None of this would exist without the work of a lot of other people. Huge thanks to ozfortress and every league around the world, whose competition and records are the backbone of the site. To serveme.tf, Liquipedia, logs.tf and demos.tf, whose infrastructure and archives so much of the scene runs on. And to everyone who tested the site and sent through feedback and suggestions during our closed beta.
Have a look around and tell me what you think. There's more on the thinking behind the site here.
