Hey everyone! As the title mentions, AsiaFortress is looking for help to assist in the upcoming AsiaFortress Cup 18.

[Rules] [Unlocks] [Division Administrators] [Map Pool]

We're back for 2021! Amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic, we hope that everyone in the community has been staying safe.

Ready for another season? So are we! This season, we're trying new maps, plugins to make the 6s experience the best it can be.

Maps: Refresh Project

The Refresh Project is a competitive take on some of the game's most popular competitive maps. AsiaFortress Cup 17 will be running the refreshed versions of both Process(cp_process_f7) and Gullywash(cp_gullywash_f3)

Maps: 2 Koth Maps?

Furthermore, this season, we will be including Clearcut (koth_clearcut_b15d), introducing for the first time ever, a second KOTH map in our rotation.

Plugins

We've been behind other league in incorporating these Quality-of-Life plugins into competitive play, but this season AsiaFortress Cup 17 will be providing support for the following plugins:

- Ramp slides fix: Prevents players from stopping when sliding off ramps
- Projectiles Collision: Prevent projectiles from being blocked by teammates
- Consistent Fall Damage: Removes randomness present in TF2's fall damage

match.tf

Once again, AsiaFortress Cup 17 will be run through match.tf. We think that the system so far has been rather intuitive and convenient for old and new players alike, and will continue to use it. However, please do make sure to join the AsiaFortress Discord and check the AsiaFortress site as all league news will be posted on both of these platforms.

Signups, found here, are open until 7th March 2021 2359PM GMT+8, so sign up ASAP!

Happy New Year everyone! With the new year upon us, we’re back with the 16th installment of the AsiaFortress Cup. This year we’re determined not to start three months late, and thus here we are!

Map Pool and Whitelist

Each season, the league aims to keep the map pool exciting by rotating and bringing in new maps. Last season, cp_propaganda_b14 was not the most well-received maps. Therefore, this season, we’re letting everyone vote for the last map that will go into the AsiaFortress Cup 16 map pool.

The poll will feature one experimental map that has not been played in AsiaFortress since its initial release during Mercenary Cup 6, cp_logjam, as well as refreshed old maps like cp_prolands and cp_granary_pro. Players vote for the map they would like to see in the AsiaFortress Cup 16 map pool here. Polling with close together with signups.

Pending Rule Updates

As of this post, the AsiaFortress Administrators are still looking over the ruleset, striving to create a stronger and fairer set of rules. We urge teams, especially team leaders to keep a look out for any changes made, and thank everyone for their patience while we look through them!

Match.tf

Continuing from last season, AsiaFortress Cup 16 will be run on match.tf. With one season under our belt, the AsiaFortress Administrators aim to provide an even smoother tournament experience this season!

Teams can sign up for the tournament through match.tf here! Signups will end on 2nd February 2020.

Hi everyone, as the title says, AsiaFortress is looking for willing community members to assist in the upcoming AsiaFortress Cup 16.

For the past 15 seasons, AsiaFortress has continued to rely on the efforts of people who have stepped up to the task of making this community a better place. Before I dive into the recruitment details, I would like to thank every single person who has contributed in some way to put the league where it is today. Unfortunately, this also includes the various AsiaFortress Administrators who have recently departed their duties due to external commitments. For some, despite having long left their competitive Team Fortress 2 days behind, continued to serve as advisors to myself, and stepping up to leadership positions in a community they no longer actively benefited from. Fearing I will leave some people out, I will refrain from naming every single one of them (there are too many to count), but I have the utmost gratitude and respect for all of them.

As such, AsiaFortress is currently facing a shortage of manpower, even more so than before. Therefore, we are once again looking to the community for members whom these past administrators may pass the baton to.

The foundation of the AsiaFortress Cup lies in its Division Adminstrators. These are the people to turn to for any questions regarding the league. During the tournament, they are responsible for enforcing the rules, and ensuring match disputes are judged and dealt with in a fair manner.

We are looking for disciplined individuals who are strong and willing communicators to take up this position.

If you are interested, please fill out the form here.

Applications will close on the 29th of December!
