We wish everyone a great season, and an exciting summer of TF2!
A Community for Life
Starting today, until the end of Mossad League Season 2, you’re all encouraged to post your craziest moves pulled off in a mossad league match or in the public servers.
Top three performers will win a reserved slot in our servers, so it pays off to pull off the craziest stuff you can.
Basically any move that will make people say “WHOA” (or an extreme “ROFL”, please no “FAIL”s) can be submitted, either in a form of a .dem or as a video. Not restricted to frags and midair rockets, moves of all classes will be accepted.
Show us what you got!
Last night Mossad league came to an ending with the final deciding games.
The final game of INS vs ADHD began with a 8-0 victory for INS at cp_badlands, but at cp_well the game was very tight and ended as a 2:2 tie, resulting in an overall win for INS in the match and in the league.
1st Place: Insanity
2nd Place: ADHD
3rd Place: KYE
4th Place: C-YA
Stay tuned in the near future for live footage from the red carpet of the prizes ceremony in Zigzag’s store.
Thanks to all that made this league, first in Israel, happen, and see you next season!

Are you ready?
The Blutsaugher
For players that earn one third of the 36 new medic achievements, they will be given a new syringe gun. Called “The Blutsaugher,” this new weapon no longer has the ability to score critical hits against an opponent. Instead it will draw health from enemies each time a syringe hits. Especially useful as a weapon to retreat away from the fight while staying alive.The Critzcrieg
Once a medic has earned two thirds of the achievements, they will be granted “The Critzcrieg.” This new medigun uses its ubercharge not for invulnerability, but to give its recipient 100% chance to fire critical ordinance. Medics and the player they are charging need to be careful though, because as much fun as it is to fire critical rockets as fast as you can, the other team will see what you’re up to and try to put a quick stop to your plan.The Ubersaw
For the determined medic that has earned all 36 of the new achievements, they will find themselves the proud owner of “The Ubersaw,” which will take damage done in melee attacks and convert it directly to ubercharge. Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the medic has equpped.
This one, that came today, is more recent than the one I posted this morning, and more updated.

So, where is hunted? First of all, goldrush is a hunted replacement:
Goldrush grew out of thinking about Hunted (Team Fortress 1’s game mode in which one team must defend a player-controlled VIP from the other - Ed),wanting to bring forward the value you get out of a Hunted game but at the same time solve some of the problems that caused Hunted to not really work in the public space.
But that doesn’t mean we won’t get our hunted in the future:
Goldrush grew out of that, and themain difference is that we’ve replaced the VIP character with, er, acart. This doesn’t preclude us from doing the original Hunted style -obviously some of the pros of Hunted didn’t come through, we did lose alittle bit. We’ll just see what people think.
Notice he means pros in the meaning of pros vs cons, not professionals (Though I know quite a bit of hardcore hunted players that didn’t move to tf2
)
Not much new information here, Robin mentions a matching system that they are making for Left For Dead, but I’ll put it in the same category of “New medic achievements coming in two weeks”.
What I found most interesting in this interview was this quote, regarding more one liners for the classes:
“We’re bringing the voice actors backfor another session soon, and one of the things we want to do is torecord even more of those lines, so that if people have actuallyexhausted the lines there’ll be a new bunch for them to discover.”
