Update: TLR are “90% sure” they will sign up.
A few of us caught a glimpse of the last ESEA lan finals in Texas a while ago. For those who don’t know what ESEA is, put simple it’s the US equivalent of our own ETF2L UKeSA. Seeing how much attention Euro vs Yank games get, a clever head over at Blight, Blackfoger got in touch with the hope of getting more of those games going.
It’s by far the best league you will ever play in. Matches will be fairly easy to schedule on NY servers. It will get your team HUGE coverage going, as well its fairly cheap registration for good prize pool. Help TF2 out big, EU players and USA watching, grow the community.
Blackfoger is currently in talks with Dignitas, TCM, Broder, and Idk? to try and get teams to sign up for the upcoming season 7. Illegal are said to be confirmed already. Here are some of the facts:
Signups end: August 27th , matches start the week after
Winners receive: $ 2 000
Signup fee: $ 50
Games start 5-7pm EST / 0-2am CEST
Top4 teams play the finals in Texas
You can head over to ESEA to get cracking.
Update: As seen in comments, the Complexity team doctor, Pure adds his thoughts on the premise:
I really would not recommend this. The only way we can play at your time is by playing on Sundays at 2-4 pm If you are going to try and do this do not speak with Blackfoger, he is full of lies when it comes to stuff like this. Love the man though. No teams play matches at 6-8 pm EST, and only coL players tend to play around Midnight. We will definitely make considerations about time, like you have with us in the Ubercharge Tournament.
I wouldn’t enter your team, I would put together 2 mix teams of people who have schedules flexible enough to stay up late or get up early.
