2 Blacked Up has lost their star engineer, Tywhip, after losing week2 versus nine seals.

Mid
The aforementioned mid team with the admins on it has disbanded, leaving us with 12 mid teams.
Icewind did NOT drop in his official, lets goooo
Reload has lost their second week match-up against nuke radio. Certainly not the start we expected after a strong preseason campaign.

Low
Nothing Ever Happens has lost their main medic, migala, despite being on a win streak.
Mellz has been banned for attempted fraud until essentially the rest of the season. My team played against his team and got ddossed (allegedly, i am not here to start a witchhunt/rumour even though they definitely did). also look at their team page LOL https://etf2l.org/teams/37232/ deserved ban gg unlucky noobs.

Open
A further team has dropped from the season, taking us down to an even 16.
Tune into the next edition for more

i always see this thread for the americans

my thoughts -
prem
pretty dead now (in my opinion) atleast yak is still playing
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

I can now announce that Arie has also decided to make a contribution to the Team Colonslash Fund. However, as the generous benefactor that Arie is and has been for some time in the TF2 Community... Arie decided to donate strange cosmetics instead of standard issue. The total cost of this for Arie was (to my calculation) £88.2 GBP sterling. It's also important to note the cost of 0mger's contribution, being £7.83. Ducky supplied the giftapults for this, which came to £0.27 and I provided the description tags which came to a cost of £1.62. In total this means that we have raised £97.92. I have therefore done as promised and donated to the Big Issue a sum of £97.92. I hope to do things like this in the future, not for silly cosmetics for my highlander team but instead as a proper "Team Colonslash" charity. I will announce now, that at the end of the season I will be issuing a raffle for an unusual in my backpack, with the proceeds going to charity. Thank you again to Arie & 0mger for their contributions.

Thank you to 0mger.
In less than 16 hours we achieved our goal through a single donation from 0mger. Really did not expect anything to happen from this post but I, and the rest of Team Colonslash™, are very pleasantly surprised. All future donations will be sold and put towards the big issue. Which is a UK newspaper that offers employment to the homeless so they are able to reintegrate with society. I will make my best attempt to match all donations for this. If you wish to donate in an alternative route than tf2 items then please see the link below. Thank you again to 0mger and everyone else for reading my terrible post.

Team Colonslash™ is back to Highlander for the first time in years. Never forgiven, never forgotten but always expected. Team Colonslash™ this time has amalgamated with THE SPY, the top secret organisation, to compete in Season 34 Mid Division. We believe with your support, this could be a season for the history books and an opportunity to support a team in an effort to a grand title.

Our Pledge

Before every Team Colonslash™ scrim, official, discussion or otherwise we always make sure to commit to a pledge.
I, [NAME] promise to try my best in today's comping. I [NAME] promise to do my best to honour those have fallen. I [NAME] promise that nothing will have higher priority than Team Colonslash™. I [NAME] promise to never compete, sabotage or otherwise maloventationly disrupt Team Colonslash™ operations.

What We Need

We are currently requesting funding for our Team Colonslash™ official cosmetic uniformation. To obtain this we will need the following:
9 x Polar Pullover
9 x Bruiser's Bandanna
9 x Manndatory Attire
9 x Mann Co™ Orange Paint

Prizes
The compers in my team are unable to afford this as a collective so we humbly ask the public for donations. Please do not feel pressured to do so, but know that it would be greatly appreciated.
Those who donate will be entitled to one (1) of the following prizes.

• One (1) item signing by a Team Colonslash: the SPY!!!!1!™ member of your choosing.
  
• A Free pyro or engineer demo-review by the Mclane of Team Colonslash: the SPY!!!!1!™
  
• An MGE match-up against a Team Colonslash: the SPY!!!!1!™ member.
  
• A ticket for a raffle to enter a competition in which the winner will be able to partake in a scrim for Team Colonslash: the SPY!!!!1!™

A thank you for reading

Thank you all for reading this message, and I hope you find it in your hearts to support our positive cause for the Team Fortress 2 competitive community. We plan to start an intercontinental LAN in a few years in Colchester, I don't have much more to say right now about that but I can promise It's in the works and the boys are working hard to plan it. So far we have contacted Robbie Cowling for rental prices for the JobServe Community Stadium. This would have a capacity to fit hundreds of teams, which would allow for highlander and 6v6 tournaments simultaneously. It would also have the hospitality means to provide meals, drinks and entertainment for all guests.

Donations Option

Can be either direct items or other items that we could sell to go towards the cosmetic uniformations.
