As of 2015, eXtv has stopped casting 6v6 matches and mainly focuses on 9v9 UGC highlander matches for their TF2 casts.

Liko

Liko (from EXTV) was born in Finland (Ikea) where he lived until he was 12. Liko's first dip into the eSportistic Gaming scene would be on his 13th birthday when his mom decided he was old enough to play his xbox 360 in his room. Originally his favourite games to play were GTA IV for casual and CSGO for when he was feeling epic. But that life style came to a halt when his dad (recently released from prison) broke his trainset causing Liko to make a rash and perhaps naive decision to run away from home and never return and he didn't. Some say his commitment to not returning only shows how dedicated he is to what he believes will improve his life, but others say he’s a fucking trader main and should go rot in a ditch. Liko moved to Sweden where he met Silver Tosspot, a highlander main to who opened his back doors (yes that is a euphemism) for Liko while he needed a place to stay. Silver got him a computer and Liko was delighted to have something to game on. Of course, Liko being poor meant the only game he had was a shitty free cartoon game made for kids. After 2000 hours of game play Liko formed his first competitive team named ‘Da BAsS HunTeRss$’. The team was a success as it grossed $336 million in North America and $821.2 million in other territories for a worldwide total of over $1.157 billion. Worldwide, it is the fifth highest-grossing team of 2013, the highest-grossing Highlander team of 2013. It topped the worldwide box office for 12 consecutive weekends. The team took a heavy casualty quickly after reaching the top when co-star player, Doktor, was arrested and ultimately kicked out of TF2 leagues after he was found guilty for the murder of his wife and sentenced with a life imprisonment with no parole. Liko didn’t want to be riding a dying plane so he left to form Team Swagnamite’s Gangster Crew. The new team would prove to be a success showing that Liko was not a one hit wonder but a genuinely talented gamer. Swagnamite grossed $936.7 million in North America and $1.132 billion in other territories for a worldwide total of $2.068 billion. Box Office Mojo estimates that the team sold close to 110 million LAN tickets in North America, the most tickets sold by any film in North America since Thresh (Quake player) in 1997. Team Swagnamite’s Gangster Crew earned 80.6% of the total 2014 teams in North America, second only to the 80.8% of the box office earned by Thresh in 1997. The team is the highest-grossing team of 2015. In early 2015 liko was picked up by the exclusive top tier club, known informally as The League of Gamers and formally as EXTV. In an interview with Extine (the manager of EXTV recruitment) he stated “Liko had been in our scopes ever since he started gaming, we had always seen him as a potential member of our organisation, it wasn’t until he came out of our scopes that we realised he was a super pro dodger and that sealed the deal for us”.
