“
The days of two Engineers, three Spies and six Snipers on your team are over. The European Team Fortress 2 League invites you to play TF2 like you've never played it before: competitively. Head-to-head against other communities. In front of hundreds of people. For shiny medals.
”

The ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge is a Highlander tournament hosted by the European Team Fortress 2 League (ETF2L) and supported by Valve. Aimed at bringing new players into competitive play, the tournament calls for teams of non-competitive players to battle for prizes.

Rules are standard competitive rules, such as no Critical hits and use of Tournament and Stopwatch modes. However, contrary to established ETF2L rules, all weapons other than those released in the Polycount Pack (exception made of the Mackerel and Frying Pan) are allowed to be used during matches.
