From foxy Son of Dad:
This was my most important play I've played in TF2 so far, played in the Ozfortress Winter League 3 Division 2 Grand Final. Defending last point on granary at 4-4, with clan mate pick saving us by backcapping this was my push from last to capture middle and then onto 4th where, through my inadequate senses (not really), our medic dies with uber. The rest can be seen in the movie

All Hail the Pain Train!!

OZFL News


ozfl Round 32 Matches have been posted!
  • rewound defeated @ 2-0 to take their 5th ozfl title (equaling the most in ozfl-open)
  • rewound are now defending their title against psy [(6-1) +3Streak]
  • The title shot match is between vR* vs nub
  • Map of the Round: cp_well

This season of owl saw our biggest amount of signups to date, and also our biggest amount of rejections to date. Next season looks to be a repeat as we focus on maintaining our limit of 8 clans per division. Currently in ozfl there are 40 teams, plus many owl clans that have moved on from ozfl. Potentially we could be looking at 5 divisions for owl4..

ozfl is also a good way for competitive clans to fill the void between seasons and try out new lineups.

This season of owl saw our biggest amount of signups to date, and also our biggest amount of rejections to date. Next season looks to be a repeat as we focus on maintaining our limit of 8 clans per division. Over the next few weeks leading up to the owl4 signups, I will once again be reminding clans that participating in ozfl is the only way to gain entry as a new clan.

A big reason for owl being a success is our focus on quality over quantity. This season we saw zero disbands and even though there will always be forfeits, avoiding unstable clans has been a high priority. That is why we ask clans to prove they aren't a 2 week destinyx clan by joining ozfl which manages disbands and new entrants really, really well.

ozfl is also a good way for competitive clans to fill the void between seasons and try out new lineups.
At this stage, owl4's timeline is as follows..

Signups Open: 19th September
Match Threads Up: 26th September
First Matches Begin: 3rd October
This means clans that havn't participated in an owl have 2 rounds of ozfl to prove themselves and 3 weeks to prove their stability. However, this still won't guarantee your clan a seeding, as preference is given to those clans with history over those without.

cp_obscure_final: 5-1 ALIVe
cp_badlands: 5-1 ALIVe

9:00pm AEST | STV: TBA

c` rolls into the division 3 grand final representing Singapore and/or THE PEOPLE. Their only defeat this season was to the hand of ALIVe, but that was then, this is now. ALIVe head into the grand final with hopefully their mm1's unbound as they face up against c` with the momentum and with the maps in their favour (same maps vs vR*).

Hopefully all the c` boys have been practicing hard for their AFL3 playoffs in their respective teams, because there's no doubt ALIVe have studied, prac'd and prepared themselves to overcome their owl2 division 4 loss to blitz!

Watch for xotic to go b1g in the last match of the owl3 season
