A short, serious PR announcement to describe the project would read like this:

On the 20th of March, FACEIT will launch a new FREE platform for TF2 where players, content creators, tournament organizers, and communities, of any kind, will engage with a mix of new and rewarding play experiences, innovative community tools, and a closer social network to further enrich and develop the TF2 ecosystem.

To put it simply, this is a project with three main objectives:

  • Give the community a great new gameplay experience with a particular focus on casual 12v12
  • Design and invest in a rich series of events, products, and activations that will see direct involvement and contribution from many third parties from the TF2 ecosystem
  • Provide a central platform where the whole TF2 community can feel closer and interconnected while playing and having fun
This experience will be free for everyone to play from the 20th of March. From today, anyone can apply to join our short Closed Beta, and with things to test and polish everyone is welcome!


  • Classic 12v12s, ÜberCharged to get instantly catapulted into a match full of 24 players, on your favourite map, where you can play the 12v12 experience that we all love — with no meta, role limitations, or try-hard play style — but where autobalance, random critical hits, and bullet spread are all disabled.
  • No cheaters and cheater-bots to play in a safe environment where sometimes you will be the best player on the server (and other times not), but where everyone is always a human, playing fair and by the rules.
  • Progression and Prizes to amplify your joy for a win or console you after a loss. No matter if winning a match is everything for you or if you play just for fun; prizes and progression will be there and every single match will be another step toward something else, maybe a new hat or a fancy new rank.

What we are sure about instead, is believing in a single, simple concept on which this whole experience has been shaped on:

A match where 24 players commit to play, from the beginning until the end, with no cheats, and within a rewarding framework, it’s a great TF2 match! No matter if you win or if you lose and it is a single unit that we can use to build positive, lasting, and unique experiences.

Interesting, I'm down to try this out. Already have loads of hours in TF2 but it's still one of the best MP shooters out there.
