After losing to Loaded twice during the regular season, 20ID.TF2 beat the former Pandemic squad 5-0 in the first round of the ESEA-invite playoffs on Tuesday. Seagull and Scruff both dropped 14 kills while Ruwin led the team with 44 points.
Playing a man down, Loaded put forth a valiant effort, but has now dropped to the lower bracket and will face Strickland Propane in the lower bracket semi-finals. 20ID will play Evil Geniuses in the upper bracket finals on cp_yukon. |

After two months of grueling competition against the best Team Fortress 2 teams in North America, 20ID.TF2 stands tall with a 13-3 regular season record in ESEA-Invite. The bakers dozen was good enough to secure a spot in the playoffs, with 20ID playing as the #2 seed.
During the regular season, 20ID split against #1 seed Evil Geniuses 1-1, and lost to third seed Loaded in both matches. Despite this, the team has already kicked practice into overdrive, and plans on making an appearance in the Grand Finals match.
The first round of playoff matchups has 20ID meeting Loaded on Granary, a map that 20ID traditionally does well on (4-1 all time in ESEA). Evil Geniuses will go up against fourth seed Strickland Propane. If teams stick to the set schedule, both matches should go down on October 19th.
In other news, the 20ID forums are back up, after resolving some issues with vBulletin. While the current layout isn't as sexy as the former, we are working on a new theme, and all of the existing user accouts, sections and threads are still intact.
As always, check here, the 20ID forums, and #20id on GameSurge for the latest 20ID.TF2 news. |

Forum is down, but will be up in the next week. In the meantime use this news post for all of your forum related needs.
Brett of X6 contacted me yesterday asking if I'd sponsor his COD2 team at some Canuck lan party. He says he's pretty good at cod2 and has a solid line up of Canadians. How should I proceed?

Season 4 of ESEA-Invite for Team Fortress 2 is about 75 percent complete, and the defending champions are holding their own with five matches to go.
20ID.TF2, who beat Evil Geniuses in the Season 3 finals back in July, currently sit in second place overall with an 9-2 record, with the losses coming against their perennial ESEA-i rivals, EG and Loaded. 20ID and EG split their regular season series 1-1, and a second match against Loaded is scheduled for September 30th.
20ID, EG (currently in 1st) and Loaded (3rd) represent the cream of the crop in ESEA-i, and all three teams are expected to make the playoffs. The 4th seed is still up in the air, but if it was chosen today, Vicious Gaming would get the nod.
Check back in here at 20id.org as well as #20id on GameSurge for more info as the regular season wraps up and the playoffs begin in a few weeks. The road to a repeat is here!

After several months of closed registration, the 20ID forums are once again open to the public. Over the last few months, we were forced to close registration due to a massive influx of spam bots signing up on the 20ID website. Thankfully, our Webmaster Ji-had has updated our forums to the newest version of vBulletin, and inserted several additional security layers that should keep all of the spammers out of sight and out of mind.
Per usual, registration is free and as easy as any other vBulletin forum, so click the "Forums" link at the upper-right side of the page, or point your browser to http://www.20id.org/forum/index.php to sign up. For now, we have several sections open to the public, and will add more if warranted.
Also, feel free to join us on IRC as well! (#20id on gamesurge) |

Champions
After the proverbial dust settled late Thursday night, 20ID.TF2 emerged victorious over Evil Geniuses, beating the Canadian juggernaut in the ESEA-Invite finals.
After beating EG on in the first round of the playoffs, and watching them overcome Complexity in the lower bracket, many were expecting EG to pull out a revenge win against 20ID in the finals. However, as the match progressed, it became clear that 20ID was too much for EG to handle, and the end result was a 5-0 steamroll on cp_badlands.
Alexwut and Seagull led 20ID with 19 and 20 frags, respectively, and saber07 led the team with 13 control point captures. "...as the season progressed, Alexwut became really active and absolutely dominant," said 20ID Soldier Seagull of alexwut, the teams Demoman. "While Demomen are the centerpiece of any defense, alexwut was far more effective on offense. He would lead out pushes by sticky jumping into the enemy team, providing a distraction for the rest of our team to push."
By winning TF2 ESEA-I, 20ID has collected a total of 32 league, LAN and event championships in nine different games over the past decade. Despite our long and storied tradition, this latest championship is just as special as the rest.
20ID would like to wish EG and all the other TF2 teams involved in ESEA-I this year the best of luck in the future, and also thanks ESEA for putting on yet another fantastic season of competition. See you in season 4!!!

Another ESEA playoff match, another win for 20ID…
After blanking second seed EG on Badlands last week, 20ID.TF2 found its next opponent in the ESEA Invite playoffs in top seed Complexity. 20ID split its regular season matchups with coL, with a 5-2 win on badlands in week 3, and a 2-1 loss on gravepit in week 6.
The second round matchup found the two powerhouses meeting on granary, a map where 20ID has seen mixed results (win over Push, loss to EG), in the past. However, the team’s history on the map was not a factor in this latest victory. Saber07 led the way to victory as the top fragger (28 kills, 10 assists). Hubris and Seagull were barely behind, with 25 and 23 frags, respectively.
But, per usual, it’s not always about frags; Ruwin, saber07 and RocketSurgeon all had ten or more point captures in the match.
Complexity will now move down to the lower bracket to face EG on gravelpit, and the victor will go on to face 20ID in the ESEA TF2 championship.

| 20ID.TF2 Shuts Out Evil Geniuses in Opening Round of ESEA Invite Playoffs! |

Despite the lack of news on the 20ID front page over the last several weeks, the Team Fortress 2 team is still alive and kicking in the ESEA Invite division for TF2.
The regular season is now over, and despite dropping two matches in a row to EG, 20ID.TF2 still managed to win four of the last six matches of the season, finishing with a 12-4 record overall. With a .750 winning percentage, 20ID.TF2 was able to secure the number 3 seed in the ESEA Invite playoffs, behind #1 Complexity and #2 Evil Geniuses, and ahead of #4 Loaded (formerly Pandemic.TF2).
The first round of the playoffs saw 20ID up against EG, a team to which they lost the last two matches of the season, on Badlands. Despite ending the regular season on a low note, 20ID was determined to stay in the upper bracket, and their play demonstrated as much. 20ID.TF2 came away with a 5-0 shutout win over the Canadian powerhouse, bolstered with strong Soldier play by RocketSurgeon, the top fragger, and a great showing by Hubris and Saber07. “The key to the match was the ‘Force-A-Nature’ shotgun unlock being used by myself and Saber,” said Hubris, team captain. “EG wasn’t expecting that move out of our scouts, and it gave us a key advantage throughout the match.”
20ID.TF2 now patiently awaits the outcome of Sunday’s playoff match between Complexity and Loaded. The winner of that match will play 20ID on Granary, and the loser will move to the lower brackets to play EG.

| 20ID.TF2 Improves To 6-0 In ESEA-i With Win Over Complexity |

With the third season of ESEA's Team Fortress 2 Invite division now well underway, 20ID sits at first place with a undefeated record of six wins and no losses. The latest victory came at the expense of Complexity, who fell to 20ID on badlands by a score of 5-2.
The first half of the match saw 20ID take four of six rounds. Complexity started strong with a quick first round win, but solid teamwork and superb soldiering by Seagulls would overwhelm coL down the stretch.
The final round of the first half and the only round in the second half would see 20ID pushed to their backmost point. Despite being backed into a corner twice, solid Demoman defense by Alex and organized pushing by the team as a whole would help 20ID push coL all the way back to the other side of the map. 20ID would take both rounds and subsequently the win.
Week 4 of ESEA-i Season 3 sees 20ID take on two solid rosters on Dustbowl. 20ID will face third-ranked Evil Geniuses on June 2nd, followed by a rematch with TBA (formerly Pandemic) on the 5th.

| 20ID Re-Pops TF2 Cherry with Win over Virgin Police |

Earlier this month, 20ID was thrilled to announce the return of its Team Fortress 2 division. Comprised of hubris, alex, Seagull, Ruwin, saber07 and dosR, the new lineup was expected to rock the TF2 community, and earned the #4 spot in Gotfrag's Team Fortress 2 U.S. rankings before playing in a single match.
Tonight, those expectations were fulfilled, as 20ID defeated Virgin Police 5-2 on cp_well. 20ID.TF2 hit the ground running, taking the first two rounds before giving up one to vPo. The second half went just as well, with 20ID taking the 4th, 5th, and 7th rounds while only giving up one to the Virgins. Mummy, who ran sniper for vPo, kept many of the rounds close with sniping at mid, but the Soldier duo of Seagull and dosR (38 frags each), combined with the exceptional Medic work by Ruwin (32 ubercharges and 2 train suicides), proved too much for vPo.
20ID now sits atop the ESEA Invite division with Complexity, and expects another victory over Push Gaming later this week. Be sure to join #20id on irc.gamesurge.net on Wednesday night to follow the action.
UPDATE: Thanks to hubris for putting the vPo demo up: http://www.gotfrag.com/tf2/demos/26687 |
