The event begins on Saturday, November 14th, at 11:45am CET (5:45am EST) and will include a pre-show event and the group stages. Sunday, November 15th, brings the elimination playoffs starting at 12:00pm CET (6:00am EST) culminating with the grand final match!

Happy Halloween! RGL.gg is hosting a Halloween charity event! It's time to get your gargoyles goin’! From Friday, October 30th, to Saturday, October 31st, join them on twitch.tv/RGLgg for some ghostly shenanigans, featuring Halloween-themed invite show matches, spooky community pubs, pumpkin carving, highlights from their current season, a costume contest and much more TF2 and non-TF2 related events!
All of this is to support the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a direct action non-profit with a 100/100 Encompass Rating™. Their goal is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species! In turn for your donation, RGL.gg has some rewards, such as community giveaways, custom logos, and the ability to torture their producer, DolphiN! It's rumored that Sigafoo might also make a special announcement…
If you're new to RGL.gg or haven’t heard of them, they're in week 4 out of 8 before their playoffs begin. No worries, though! There will be more TF2 as they're already preparing their next season, which is set to begin late 2020 and continue into 2021 with some special game modes and announcements coming after the current season ends.

The path through the playoffs is rarely as straight as a Roman road. For the teams in ETF2L's Highlander Premiership division this season was no exception. Unfortunately, Veni Vidi Vici were not able to match up to their name. They came, they saw, but they were not able to conquer inVision in the semifinal match.
The Grand Final match saw inVision face the defending ETF2L Highlander champions, Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! It was a best of 3 series on the maps pl_upward and cp_steel, with koth_warmtic being the tiebreak. Check out the match between these titans on KritzKast's YouTube Channel!
