Hi All!
Now that summer is around the corner what better way to avoid your daily vitamin D quota by deciding to cause immense gibbage to your Band of Fool team mates and consuming sandvich at the same time. All in the name of fun.
What am I blithering on about? Team Fortress 2 tournament that’s what. Yes that ‘other’ game that a select few foolish members participate in from time to time, you usually know this game is being played due to the spontaneous laughter being spilled out on the Mumble server.
Well I’m seeing if there is interest to host a Band of Fools TF2 tournament. To make it viable we’d need a minimum of eight players (4 v 4) but it’d be much better if we could get twelve players for a 6 v 6 competition.
A modest entrance fee would be put in place for each competitor, this would pay for the server hosting and allow for some actual prizes to the winning team. Competitors would be placed in one of the two teams: Builders League United (BLU) or Reliable Excavation Demolition (RED). Ideally funds permitting there would also be a prize for the player with the highest score.
Team Fortress 2 now free to play on both PC and Mac and can be downloaded from Valve’s Steam platform.
I’m aware that not everyone is familar with TF2 and players would probably want some practice sessions and tutorials in getting to know the classes and mechanics. The actual tournament date would be held late June/early July to allow people to get familar with maps, gameplay etc and have some practice nights. The tournament would include the following map types:
- Attack/Defend
- Capture Points
- Capture the Flag
- Payload
- Payload Race
- King of the Hill
Sounds fun? Of course it does!
If you’re seriously interested then please register your interest on the forum post.
For more information about TF2 you can check out the class videos below (not one for Pyro just yet, due 2012), the TF2Wiki also has lots of information as well as the official page from Valve.
