Team Fortress Wiki:Competitive representation/UGC Highlander League

http://www.ugcleague.com/home_tf2h.cfm

UGC League are running a Winter 2011 Highlander season, and I think it'd be good for the wiki to get a team or 2 into it. A league admin has said on the forums that there will be both a US and EU division[1], and so the purpose of this page is to see if there is enough interest within the wiki to put together a team for each division.

Each team can have up to 16 players, as it's highlander this allows each team to have 7 reserves. All weapons are allowed (Polycount sets [bonuses] are not allowed). Each team would have to be ready by the 10th January. The league will take 18 weeks in total - if we progress throughout: The season begins January 10th with 3 weeks of preseason, 12 weeks of regular season, and then we finish with 3 weeks of playoffs.. US matches will take place on Mondays at around 9:30 PM ET (This is from the UGC site, see below for our preferred time).

Time

More info on time Matches are free to be scheduled at any time before a match deadline (most likely Friday), however we may find we have to compromise based upon other teams wishes - however with seperate US and EU divisions, time variations shouldn't be too disruptive. Here are my proposed times (a few around our ETF2L times in case the two leagues overlap): US: 6 PM ET, Saturday; EU: 6 PM GMT, Saturday. These times are certainly not final, and certainly subject to change between matches. Feel free to discuss these times in the talk page.

So, fill out the table below if you are interested in joining this league representing the wiki.

Applications

US Team (13)

Name	Steam profile	Classes	Comments
Alex2539	Alex2539	, NEVER	I probably won't be able to dedicate myself completely as a full-time member, but if you're ever down a player just give me a shout and I'll see if I can fill in. You should know that the default Monday times are never any good for me.
Fendermcbender	fendermcbender		I'd love to join. I have enough skill, I've been playing TF2 since it's been released, if that's a primary concern. I was the leader of my ETF2L team and the ESL 6v6 League, so I understand what leaders have to go through and how essential times are. Soldier is my main, if any, because I'm fairly good at him. Demo would be my backup.
Firestorm	[2]	Heavy,Pyro,Spy,Soldier,Medic	Shazam!
inShane	insaneshane64		I can definitely play Medic. I'd have to work on the whole "rollout" thing as Demoman first, and, well, Engineer doesn't require too much jumping around or airshoting unless I become too combat craved. Scout is Scout, but I'm not the best one out there.
Krizzle_0	Krizzle_0		Been practicing a great deal. Finally getting down pilling people with my Grenade launcher. I'm also a half decent spy and Pyro when I want to be. Hit me up if you need a main or sub. :D
Lagg	stragglerastic		Love... Every single one of ya... not you. *Points at Smashman and RJackson* - I'll might as well do this since I have noticed the distinctive lack of hat in this current list, and stylish glasses. I'm a career Demoman. Member of the now disbanded ETF2L OTFWH team.
Medik	TheMedik		I've been playing in highlander EU matches for the longest time with the UC guys, so it'd really be nice. Of course, I'd prefer Medic, but Spy/Soldier are both equal. I'll always be up for a game, too.
Shadrxninja	Shadrxninja		Would Prefer to play spy as I am getting good at it but soldier and sniper would be good to play too.
Swordz	swordz		Would like to join. I play soldier but i'm sure the lag will kill me so i prefer to rely with engineer or pyro. I'm those dudes that you call when you are getting steamrolled and make you win. A mercenary. I also cook
Tele-viper	[3]	Pyro, Scout, Medic, Heavy. Prefer Heavy	I'm a bit new and never REALLY done comp play before. but I think I can do this. No. I -KNOW- I can. Heavy Weapons guy is ready!
Tturbo	Tturbo	if needed a bit of or (but not as great)	I'd like to join, but on a less regular basis, like a buddy, I play if needed but normaly I don't... I'm here to fill in the holes... But I'll be happy to fight for the honor of the OTFW a second time.
Vaught	Vaught		Somewhat of a jack of all trades. I've no real preferred class, and I tend to do well with these classes, so pin me down as whatever the team needs! Note: I said well, not good.
WindPower	WindPower		Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer. Leader of the old ETF2L Highlander Wiki Team, I'm still up for playing, but do not want to be leader.

EU Team (13)

Name	Steam profile	Classes	Comments
DrAkcel	drakcel		I always wanted to play in Highlander games, so this is the best solution for me. And i want to try to play in team. I was playing some clan wars, so i don't think i will have a problem with teamplay. I am best as Heavy and Engineer, but i can be good as a Soldier, or as a Scout.
Infi^	MrInfidelz		If it means I can actually use the Black Box and not have a horrible ping on an US server, I'd like to play.
JORDN	JORDN		I'm a great Pyro, I can easily take out most classes 1 on 1 given I do what a Pyro's meant to do. Ambush. Lovin' that Degreaser. Michael can tell you how much of an 'epic' Pyro I am. I stop him dropping Ubers on A. I'm quite an effective Scout, I usually go on the offensive and try to get information to my team on where they're holding up or what they've got in store, I can also hold my own in a fight provided it's not a counter class like a Heavy. Also me and Mike steamroll everything when we Heavy/Pyro Medic.
Leftism	phillphill		I play Medic at a mid- level in 6v6s although I'd prefer to stay away from the class in 9v9s, so I would prefer it if I was backup and "mentor" of sorts for the EU team's Medic. :P I can happily play Scout, Soldier and Demoman in 9v9s and I can do pretty much all the rollouts for the Soldier and Demoman on the 5cp maps and have a good mind for tactics as well. :D
Michael	Michael_L		I'm up for the games. I play Medic best, with maybe a little Engineer or Soldier on the side if nesscary. But definitely not spy. Or scout. In fact, just assume me as Medic. I also drop Ubers on A
Neo_Player	neoplayer	And if really needing it	Entered the ETF2L Highlander with some random reddit folks, but we didn't do so good not passing the group stage. Played with some top European players in some mix matches last year, but since then only practiced was for the ETF2L challenged and not so much after that.
Nightbox	nightbox		Maybe I want to play, i can help you with management and also mid- Soldier ;)
NVis	nvis	()	I play a disproportionate amount of Spy. As a result, I make a fairly stab-resistant Medic and Engineer. My other hobbies include rocket jumping and pounding enemies with fish. (And in the game!)
Picard	picard93		Im prefering Spy, but I can also play Medic or Pyro. Definitely not Soldier, Demoman or Scout.
ragnar004	ragnar004		I do so love TF2 but have never got to play competitively, this would be a lovely time to start as i do have quite a few hours on this game... Ragnar004 10:12, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
RJackson	[4]	Scout, Pyro, Demo.	I would happily lead an EU team, however with the quality of my internet I would need somebody else to lead with me to collect and upload demos.
ScatmanJohn	[5]	Spy, Soldier, Pyro, Engineer	I would love to be on a wiki-team. Might even do better then I did on my old ETF2L team with a bit of luck. I would prefer to play spy if possible, but I could play soldier pyro or engineer at a push.
Smashman	smashman2004		I'd be up for it. I've fallen in love with the Degreaser, so I'd love to play Pyro.
