'''ETF2L''' (''European Team Fortress 2 League'') is a community project and is one of the world’s largest competitive Team Fortress 2 league. ETF2L hosts both [[6v6]] and [[Highlander]] leagues, including many other cups.

The site went live on November 11th, 2007, and has since been running 21 6v6 seasons (the "All F*cking Summer Season" from 2010 is excepted from the official chronology), 8 Highlander seasons, [[The Highlander Open]] Cup with over 250 teams and the [[Highlander Community Challenge]] in 2010/2011 with 846 teams.

The organisation is currently lead by the head admins of Permzilla, Sonny Black and ash. Previous head admins are emb, CanFo, dAyKiLLeR, DeNeusbeer, Kop, d2m, Dave, RaCio, SnowiE and Crasp.

As of today, for all competitions that were held at ETF2L, a total of almost €14,000 in prize money was paid out and hardware prizes worth over €10,000 were provided.

== Format ==
ETF2L is currently on its 20th [[6v6]] season and 7th [[Highlander]] season. Both 6v6 and Highlander leagues consist of different skill levels, ranging from Division 6 (lowest skill level) to [[Premiership]] division (highest skill level). Divisions usually have a size of 6 or 8 teams. A season usually consists of 5 or 7 weeks of regular matches, and a week of playoffs.

Matches usually consist of two maps, each lasting 30 minutes. The following win conditions are used:
* On [[5CP]] maps, the map ends once the time limit runs out or one of the teams scores 5 more points than the opponent. In case of a draw after the time limit ends, a tiebreaker round, known as ''golden cap'', is played. The golden cap ends once one of the wins captures all points.
* [[King of the Hill]] maps are played in a best of 5 format (first to 3 wins), without a time limit.
* [[Attack/Defense]] and [[Payload]] maps are played with [[stopwatch]] mode and are played in a best of 3 format. The teams alternate between attacking and defending; if team A defended first in the previous round, team B will be the first to defend in the next round. Most of the time, an A/D or Payload map is the sole map of the week, and as such are not combined with other gamemodes.
* [[Capture the Flag]] maps are played as best of 3 rounds, with each round lasting either 10 minutes or until one of the teams captures the intelligence 5 times in a row. If the match ends in a draw, a golden cap round is played. The golden cap round ends after 5 minutes or one capture. If the golden cap ends in another tie, it is played again until a conclusive result is reached.

The top 4 Premiership teams qualify for the playoffs. Playoffs games are played in a best of 3 maps format. The lowest-ranked team faces the second lowest-ranked team, and the winner of the match faces the team ranked above both of them.

The second last Premiership team faces the second Division 1 team in a relegation playoff, also played in a best of 3 maps format.

'''koth_viaduct_pro7''' is the most recent version of koth_viaduct_pro, a competitive version of koth_viaduct, a stock TF2 map.

== History ==

Viaduct Pro was created from the original Viaduct map, without snow to maximize performance and with improved mechanics to balance it in competitive play. The map has gone through many iterations in its lifetime and is still actively supported and updated by the mapper.

== Usage in competitive ==

koth_viaduct_pro is used commonly in both [[Highlander]] and [[6v6]]. This map is the most common King of the Hill map in [[6v6]], though other maps such as [[Coalplant]] / [[Ashville]] are sometimes played.
In 6v6 teams are often seen running full time sniper on this map because the sight lines and terrain on the map offer the class an advantage not seen in other maps. Heavy is also used sometimes to deny enemy team bombers.

'''cp_granary_pro''' is a [[5CP]] map, created from the basis of [[cp_granary]], which was orginally created by Valve.

''Some of the tactics written on the default cp_granary may be applicable to this map.''

== History ==
'''cp_granary_pro''' is a map that was first created by Team Fortress 2 player, Mark. The map, created for the competitive community, featured small features that would make the map more convienent to its players, such as, no roof over choke and the removal of rocks & cones which had caused [[Glossary#Splash|splash]] damage absorbing.

In the latest development of Granary Pro, changes in favour of the competitive game playing included expanding mid, removing props, raising the ceiling in choke and moving forward spawns backwards.

'''koth_lakeside''' is a [[King of the Hill]] map made by the mapmaker [http://steamcommunity.com/id/3Dnj 3Dnj] and made official by Valve on February 24, 2011. It is played frequently in [[Highlander]], having been used by [[UGC]] for several seasons.

The objective of Lakeside is the control the middle point for three minutes. The two teams spawn on opposite sides of the map and rush toward the middle when the round begins. A round will continue into overtime if the timer is up but there is still enemy presence on the point.

== History ==

The first season of UGC Highlander that ran Lakeside in its maplist was Season 4. It is typically played as an early season map because of its simplicity, and the fact that it was a Halloween event map in 2012 makes it recognizable to new competitive players, while being more competitively viable than a map such as Mann Manor.

== Strategy ==
The overall team strategy on this map is to simply kill the opposing team, take the point, and prevent an enemy counterpush. When in control of the point, the goal is to keep the other team too disorganized to push back. This is accomplished with well-timed kills on combo-members and strong positioning.

=== Midfight ===
During the initial fight for the point, a common position for the combo to push is in valley right behind the obelisk. This puts the medic safely out of sight while allowing him to heal people that are pushing onto the point. There is an important high ground vs. low ground fight on this point, often giving a large advantage to whoever reaches the point first, but doing so puts them at risk to a Sniper. The Engineer often keeps a mini sentry watching his valley to prevent bombers from killing someone. When actually pushing the point the sentry is eventually moved onto or near the point.

=== The Combo ===
Many teams use the Kritzkrieg for its versatility on this map. The critical damage can clear the point for a capture. When in control of the point, a Medic can use the charge to kill an enemy Demoman, Heavy, or Medic, delaying a push from them. Its fast charge speed allows for aggressive contesting of the point or relentless harrassment of the team that doesn't control it. Other Mediguns can be used to better protect the Medic, but it can be more difficult to push onto the point with them if the holding team forces the Ubercharge in valley or around the pool room.

=== Defense ===
When defending the point when you control it, you should immediately consider a forward hold. You can do a forward hold if you have a significant number advantage and/or open ground that would allow you to do so. The typical forward hold consists of a combo holding the enemy plateau and a flank holding the battlements. This strategy works well with the stock Medigun because you can deny any incoming push with invincibility of your combo and scattering of your flank. With Kritz or Quick-Fix, you need to draw them out far enough that you can push into them, or you'll be sitting on a charge that will not save you from a kritz. A forward hold with Kritz typically involves the combo in the bathhouse, because your flank will be able to call any offensive push long before you're threatened by it.

If you're not doing a forward hold, your team is essentially controlling your yard and platform with your combo classes, while controlling their yard and platform with your flank classes. It's important to call the enemy Sniper at all times during a hold like this, because he can get a sightline on most of the map without having to fight anyone.

=== Offense ===
The offensive strategy on Lakeside is to build an Übercharge while bombing their team and taking advantage of your superior spawn times. Kritzkrieg is usually the best option for this situation, giving you the chance for that magical first crit sticky medic pick. A good play here is to pair up your Demo and Soldier for a tandem bomb while your Spy is somewhere on their side of the map. When executed well, this is the best way to force a charge or kill a medic. All the while, your Sniper is working to create some sort of advantage you can push off of.

== Rollouts ==

=== Demoman ===
The Demoman rollout for Lakeside is very simple. He fires his first sticky in spawn to get as close to the doorway as possible, then he walks out of the main door and uses one sticky to jump to either the bathhouse or the main point.

=== Scout ===
The Scout should basically follow the Demoman in, emulating his rollout. If the Demoman wants to go to the bathhouse first, the Scout should walk through tunnel. If the Demoman wants to go to the point, the Scout should walk through main.

=== Soldier ===
The Soldier's typical rollout is simply whipping the medic and heavy to the point as quickly as possible. After you reach the yard, most Soldiers will rocket jump toward the bathhouse and try to spam the other team out of it.

=== Other ===
Your Engineer is going to want to get a mini sentry watching your yard ASAP. Pyro, Medic, and Heavy will be following the Demo in and attempting to beat out their combo. The combo classes should try to stay alive in preparation for the first Kritzkrieg or Übercharge. The Sniper should either watch through the bathhouse sightline or go for an early pick on someone peeking over the point hill without exposing himself to the enemy Sniper. The Spy should determine what medigun the opposing Medic is running, either via name or by looking at the medic.
