A light shining bright and beaming and beautiful is descending from above. Something awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping, flabber-gasting: from the life-giving palms of azzy (with assistance from mad scientist Güven) and Jaws’ AltTab (server hosting, with hints from sapphonie herself) comes the arrival of MGE–My Gaming Education? Mad Gambling Enjoyment?? We don’t know either. That’s right for the first time in many months players are able to enjoy or grind out their deathmatching on this classic gamemode from within TF2C, so your excuse for not wanting to play live just won’t cut it anymore.

Two full-time servers will feature an EU or NA location for more preferable ping so you know your loss was honorable and a maximum player limit of 16. Staple gamemode bball–a 2v2 with soldiers fighting for control of the intel–is fully functional and playable. Get on that court and slamdunk that goal you maggots. Finally… it is with great displeasure to announce the current removal of ELO which will be missed sorely amongst the most prideful and shameless warriors. Taunt and lure your enemy on #mge-bros, join, !add up, and I will see you fragging on badlands spire soldier!

AltTAB – [EU] MGE: 140.238.84.229:27015
AltTAB – [NA] MGE: 167.234.214.228:27015

There is no viable competitive scene without its map makers, and its custom maps that get the best out of the gameplay mechanics. There is no better way for map makers to test their maps in a coordinated, high-awareness game, than playing it in a competitive setting. We know it. You know it. Therefore we deliver it: the HAMMER MONTH. A full month of playing the weekly CompTF2C PuGs (pick-up games) in TF2C Mapping Community maps every other week.

Find the dates, chosen maps, and surprise details of the finest collaboration between the two communities below. Followed up by an insightful interview with Damon, a renowned figure in the mapping community, and a relatively new member of Eminoma. Not only did we take a look at his journey, but we are also peeked some exciting bits from the upcoming Steam release.

The first ever competitive TF2 Classic event, CompTF2C’s PuG Ladder Spring 2025 is over. As TF2 Classic brings the early TF2 features and spirit back, CompTF2C brought the word “ladder” back to competitive TF2 after a decade. Due to known limitations, it was simplistic. It had to use PuG teams as its evaluation criteria. But it helped build something up in 8 weeks time, and painted a picture of ourselves to look back at.

81 unique players attended the PuGs, from 4 major TF2 regions as far as it is known to us. 35 pick-up games are played in total. Points are given to the players in the winning teams. Here is a thorough look into our winners, heroes, favourite maps, game modes, and the future of CompTF2C.

PuG Ladder Spring 2025 is coming to an end with the upcoming Week 8. The final EU and NA (&SA) pick-up games of Week 8 will be played on Friday May 2 and Saturday May 3, respectively. Let us use this opportunity to talk about the ladder, and invite everyone to our Discord server for the final opportunity to impact it.

A warm welcome to everyone, to the harbor, and to the live TF2 world. For the latter, this article will take it from the basics at the end, explaining who we are and what we do. But first, we have to clarify something that has been going on.

In January this year, the mention of a potential TF2C tournament was made in TF2C Competitive Discord server by the official resources, i.e. us.
In the following weeks, we heard back details about our own creation-in-progress, from a variety of members of the community. Some distorted by the game of gossip, some surprisingly accurate. It would not be wise to expect something less from the community of a leak-based game anyway.

Therefore, it is no secret to the close follower that something potentially big has been going on. Let us confirm it for the distant follower as well: Yes, something has been going on. And it is big.
