We have the booth, we have the production team, we have the sponsors...I'm sure we're forgetting something. Oh the teams! You want to know the teams attending?!

Let's take a look at these fearless warriors, who will be clashing in Jonkoping, Sweden on the 18th & 19th June in the TF2 Invitational at DreamHack Summer by Sweetstakes.tf & Plantronics. With $3000 on the line and an amazing experience competing at the world's largest LAN event ahead, it's all to play for! Our four teams for this event are:

nameLess (qualified)

(qualified) Perilous Gaming (qualified)

(qualified) Crowns Esports Club (invited)

(invited) Comfortably Spanked (invited)

They will be competing in a BO3 double-elimination tournament over the course of the two days at the Esport United booth, who have kindly hosted us once again! The tournament itself is sponsored for $3000 by Sweetstakes.tf & Plantronics, and Plantronics are also providing us with their excellent noise-cancelling headphones for the players. The prizepool will be split as follows:

1st: $1110

2nd: $780

3rd: $600

4th: $510

The schedule and bracket will be posted at a later date, but all of the action will be caught live here at teamfortresstv by our on-site team. The maps, ruleset, and whitelist mirror the ETF2L Season 24 ruleset - so that means Reckoner rather than Sunshine.

Teams and Rosters

nameLess Scout : Stark Scout : Hafficool Roamer : Drackk Pocket : kaptain Demoman : spudd Medic : Permzilla



nameLess have been at the top of the European scene since i55, and have only lost three maps in that time. They are undeniably the best team in Europe at the moment, and go into this tournament the favourites to win. Their experience and individual skill have won them two ETF2L seasons; however with maincaller and star player kaidus moving to an analyst role before this tournament, nameLess do look noticeably weaker. After all, one of the only three maps they've ever lost was to bottom Premiership team PC Master Race last week. If an upset was ever on the cards, this is the time.

Perilous Gaming Scout : Thalash Scout : Astt Roamer : Mike Pocket : tek Demoman : alle Medic : kos



Of all the teams at the event, this modified version of the Perilous line-up has the most potential to upset nameLess and take the tournament. Having jettisoned Sideshow from the roster to sit alongside kaidus, the soldiers for Perilous form an awesome combo. They will have to perform at an excellent level despite a lack of LAN experience on alle, Astt, and Thalash to take the tournament, but it looks highly possible.

Crowns Esports Club Scout : Beavern Scout : atomic Roamer : Thaigrr Pocket : AMS Demoman : Smirre Medic : ondkaja



Crowns, previously known as Publiclir, formed at the last DreamHack tournament in November and put on a great show, taking Process in the first round from Reason Gaming (now nameLess). The roster has undergone a few changes since then, but the overall upgrades and LAN atmosphere could trigger a revival of that level of play. They have been struggling recently in online play but at LAN have never shown any signs of choking, and always seem to rise to the occasion as underdogs. The newly named Crowns will be attempting to win on home ground and take control of the DreamHack throne this time around.

Comfortably Spanked Scout : Dennia Scout : Hank Roamer : T0m Pocket : vani Demoman : Setlet Medic : skeej



Our dark horses for the tournament, Comfortably Spanked, are still getting to grips with their playstyle after bringing in the experienced vani on pocket. This season in Premiership they have managed to get points from all of their fixtures so far, tying LEGO on Process and beating PC Master Race on Badlands. While they certainly go into this tournament as underdogs, LAN is a totally different beast to online play. They'll be striving to take an upset victory over at least Crowns and carry that momentum on to later fixtures.
