Thread: Highlander S3 - Congratulations to our winners & runner-ups!
core League Director

We are all morbin for Highlander Season 4, but first...

Righto righto, so we were all hoping for it, and congratulations to fuck it we brawl and all that, but come on, a Morb Fortress 2 win would have been history books kind-of-stuff, you know. Anyways, we have the winners and runner-ups for Highlander to congratulate, and awards to hand out. Congratulations to all the winners of Season 3 of Highlander, and we hope to see you in Season 4.


Congratulations Premier winners red pandas!

Another season and another consecutive win for the fellas on the red pandas roster. With their new name and a couple of new pick ups, the roster came in swinging blitz through the season, totaling their third consecutive premier championship. While the score line suggests a dominant performance from red pandas, rascals weren't pushovers. In particular, JP, the newest player to rascals tore up the pandas players on heavy, dropping fantastic stats throughout the entire series. As well as JP, flow, as per usual, was able to help rascals close the gap in kills between the two teams and give ohai a run for his money. Unfortunately it wasn't quite enough to beat red pandas' secret weapon. Sheep came in to the grand final and, round after the round, put up insane numbers getting the most kills over the entire series. Even on payload he managed to top frag in the 2nd round of Cornwater making him well deserving of not only the best scout award, but the Premier MVP that allowed red pandas to finish the season on top.

Congratulations Intermediate winners Patent Pending!

This season of intermediate had the closest competition amongst our entire league. However, only two could make it into the grand final. Patent Pending, who has won open, main and now intermediate took on the The Bakes Team, who climbed their way up from the lower page playoff's to fight in the closest grand final this season. Starting off on Warmtic, The Bakes Team took control early with the flank of fuzz and Pipelin12 providing large quantities of picks, allowing them to swiftly close out map one. However, while they had a strong start on Product for map 2, the end of the 2nd round marked the turning point for Patent Pending. Performing a reverse sweep, Patent Pending managed to narrowly close out the map 3 - 2 with both teams' snipers, Exquizit and var, having a field day dropping 40 and 45 kills respectively. It all came down to Vigil. The final map began with The Bakes Team coming out all cylinders firing holding Patent Pending to an offensive push time of 10:20, allowing themselves to comfortably complete the map with almost 2 minutes left. But that's when it all came crashing down. Patent Pending kicked it into overdrive. Starting on defense for round two, Patent Pending held The Bakes Team to a time of 15:24, on top of locking them out of last, meaning they where unable to capture all four points. Patent Pending then proceeded to capture the first three points in a very swift 3:51 with Berdo, var, hobo, TUX and fennex achieving at least 20 kill each. It all came down to the final round where Patent Pending seemed to be unstoppable. Destined to win, they pushed with a fantastic time of 7:32 and standing their ground on defense, Patent Pending completed the series 2 to 1 and won the grand finals with an incredible showing from both bappo and var dropping a casual 24 kills each with a DPM of 651 and 486 respectively.

Congratulations Open winners fuck it we brawl!

When the name 'fuck it we brawl' comes to mind, the first thought is usually something along the lines of "that team that beat Morb Fortress in the HL grand finals". While they crushed the united dream of the community that was Morb Fortress getting first place, they did so with grace, and proved why they deserved that win. Starting off on the first map of the grand final Ashville, fuck it we brawl came out swinging, securing 2 consecutive rounds. However, Morb didn't go down without a fight, and proceeded to claim a round themselves. But unfortunately for the dreamers, fuck it we brawl came back with a vengeance. Lead by multi and his 31 kill game, fuck it will brawl closed out the map 3-to-1. The ozfortress staff we're so impressed by multi's performance they offered him a spot on the admin team... On to map two, which proved to be one of the closest maps of the season. Fuck it we brawl set the pace, rounding out the map in 7:40 with multi and bobo leading the charge. Despite this, Morb Fortress put their best collective foot forward and came out the gates fuming for a win. Even with all their might, Morb were unable to break the wall that was fuck it we brawl and narrowly lost the map, despite new blood Superevilironman's outstanding performance, top fragging the map with an impressive 23 kill game. Unsuprising, Morb Fortress 2 - Morbheads were graceful in defeat. congratulating the deserving winners fuck it we brawl, and showing to everyone why they deserve not only the Friendliest Team award, but the Most Improved Team, for making it all the way to the grand final after 3 seasons of hard work and dedication, showing to us all that anything is possible if you morb up.

Thread: Sixes S36 - Congratulations to our winners & runner-ups!
core League Director

Closing in on Season 37!

It's not far now, but Season 37 will come after our Autumn Action cups. Before that though, we need to congratulate our winners and runner-ups for Sixes Season 36. All in all it was an enlightening season and we are looking to make crucial changes to the ruleset and our processes going forward. However lets ignore the boring stuff for now, because we have awards to hand out!


Congratulations Premier winners Witness Gaming!

Each and every season the ozfortress Premier Grand Finals represents a clash of the titans, the best of the best that Australasian Team Fortress has to offer, and this season was no different.

Witness Gaming, the decorated and dominant, LAN proven super team has shown us stellar performances since its inception. Their opponents, thunderbirds are a powerful reincarnation of the Sesame Street roster, the Season 35 Premier second place team. Will thunderbirds be able to bring the thunder? Or are Witness Gaming destined to deny them first place once again?

The first map in the set, Sunshine, picked by Witness Gaming, starts us off strong, ultimately giving us an impressive 4-1 scoreline in favour of Witness Gaming. Our second map, Granary, although being the pick of thunderbirds, could not be claimed by them. In spite of a 300 DPM performance from lexx, thunderbirds were not able to prevent the dominant 5-0 sweep from Witness Gaming in under 21 minutes.

Moving on to the final map, the decider, with thunderbirds on the ropes, our teams load into Snakewater. This is the second map pick from Witness Gaming and the decider for the series. It was also one of the maps that Witness Gaming used to beat thunderbirds in their Upper Page match, clearly Witness Gaming intend for history to repeat itself.

The map was hard fought and a fantastic watch, giving us impressive 30+ kill performances from both cooki and dauq, as well as a clean 357 DPM showing from matt. However, in line with their well executed performances earlier in the series Witness Gaming closed it out 5-2.

This fantastic series showcased the skill and craft that Premier Grand Finals is known for, hats off to all these players for giving us all something great to watch on a Tuesday night! Also to note, Witness Gaming's flawless performance in the Grand Finals marked a perfect season for them. They did not lose a single map throughout the entire season, a remarkable feat that showcased their exceptional talent and dedication. Witness Gaming's dominant display in the Grand Finals and their unbeaten run exemplified their status as the team to beat in the ozfortress seasons to come.

Congratulations Intermediate winners bob the digger!

Really, bob the digger had a long fight in the form of the Inter finals ahead of them to claim the crown. Enshrined on the intermediate altar were their mortal enemies (and upper bracket gaming pals) no imports in peak form to take their chance at the crown. The first map: snakewater, where bob the digger had already taken a map in the upper bracket. At the outset, no imports came out all-guns-blazing with some fantastic play to take the map to a golden cap at 1-1, where, despite the absolute mammoth effort from turris, bob the digger only just managed to take the edge after 4 and a half more minutes of gameplay, taking the finals to map 2: viaduct. Reaching into the depths, no imports come into their pick here strong, having taken it 3-1 in the regular season, and after a cool clean shutout on the back of turris' frankly ridiculous DPM, took the map with a screaming scoreline of 3-0, delivering an absolute rinsing to bob the digger to take the match to a 3rd map in the form of gullywash. Despite the fact that bob the digger picked this map, it didn't make it easy for them, as the map kicked off with a back and forth over the course of about 20 minutes to end in a deadlock of 2-2. Eventually, with only 10 minutes to spare, bob the digger took the final round, and soon after no imports took the mid, and began their push to win the map and ensconce themselves forever in ozfortress' Halls of Glory. Decisive glory was not to be theirs, sadly, and bob the digger took the victory on the shoulders of paray, bringing their victory home to feed the wife and kids.

Congratulations Main winners 6Sins!

In the highly anticipated Main Grand Finals of ozfortress Season 36, the stage was set for an epic clash between Salt Free Gaming and 6 Sins. As the two teams battled it out, it became clear that age was not just a number for Salt Free Gaming. Despite their experience and seasoned approach, the sands of time seemed to catch up with them. 6 Sins, on the other hand, proved that youth and agility can triumph over the wisdom of years. With lightning-fast reflexes and impeccable coordination, 6 Sins outpaced their opponents at every turn. While Salt Free Gaming fought valiantly, their attempts to keep up with the swift pace of their opponents often resembled a sluggish dance routine from yesteryears. In the end, 6 Sins emerged as the champions, leaving Salt Free Gaming to contemplate the cruel realities of Father Time. Nevertheless, Salt Free Gaming's legacy as an OG team in the ozfortress scene remains intact, even if their agility may have waned over time.

However, after an suprise lose at the hands of blu team in the upper page playoffs securing a Grand Finals spot for blu team and throwing a spanner in the works for Mikcow’s grand plans of a first place Open badge.

Thread: Staff Updates; New Arrivals & Departures
core League Director

With the next seasons of Sixes and Highlander just around the corner, we have a few updates to our staff team that we wanted to let you know about. First of all, we would like to welcome our new pickups!

Please give a warm welcome to our two new Sixes Administrators, multi and down. We cannot wait to work alongside them, and are confident they are more than up to the task. Along with some new arrivals, we have some departures and switchups. After quite a few seasons in the role we will be saying goodbye to one of our best, samson. In samson's time as both a Sixes Administrator and as Head of the Behaviour Panel/Infractions team, he has overseen nine seasons of ozfortress Sixes, and has been no small part in the infractions system, be it by making changes, or by protecting our community through it. samson will be sorely missed, and his departure brings with it some role changes for our existing staff.

Effective from Sixes Season 37, a team of ants in their prime will be moving away from his role of Sixes Head Administrator, and will become the Head of the Behaviour Panel. Whilst he is departing from his Head Administrator role, he will be remaining on as a Sixes Administrator. It is a decision we don't make lightly. We are fully confident in, and excited to see where ants can take our infractions system moving forward. We look forward to working closely with ants and the rest of the infractions team heading into the future. With samson's departure, we would also like to thank him and another, one of our anonymous panel members for their contributions to the team, and wish them both the best of luck!

Within this week we will be sending out Sixes and Highlander badges, winners threads with awards, a post detailing significant updates to our rulesets, and finalised season details for Sixes Season 37 and Highlander Season 4.
