Return of Australian Hightower Highjinx Charity Event

Thanks to xiuh, ozfortress and CappingTV, the Australian Hightower Highjinx event is back! This one-day charity event raises funds for Lifeline Australia (a non-profit 24h crisis support service), and will be held on the 12th of September 2026. It promises laughs, endless market gardener clip farming potential, and MEDALS. Several medal variants will be available including donation medals, participant medals, championship medals and helper medals for staff / casters who assist with the event. (See medals section below).

Medals FAQ

We expect you might have some questions, so we'll try to answer a few now!

  • Q: Do I need to play a match in order to obtain a medal?
  • A: Nope! Participation / Championship medals will be awarded to all players registered on a team, regardless if they are a core / substitute player. Mercenaries/ringers will not receive a medal. Donation medals can be obtained by donating a minimum of $5. Donation amounts of $25 and over will receive both the $5+ donation medal and $25 donation medal.
  • Q: When will they be distributed?
  • A: After the event. We will need to wait for Valve to add the medals to the game, so that could be quick, or it could be Valve time.
  • Q: I forgot to add my SteamID64 to my donation. HELP!
  • A: Please DM core, mitch or xiuh via Discord for assistance. We will also be creating a Missing Medals form, and releasing it after the event.
