Asia Team Fortress 2 League
ATF2L (Asia Team Fortress 2 League) is a community project that hosts Asia's largest competitive Highlander Team Fortress 2 league.
The league is currently lead by head admin Clari-tea, who is also the regional admin of UGC Asia.
Autonomy from UGC
Despite its own ruleset, whitelist, calendar, map pool, admin team, and discord server, ATF2L is not entirely independent from UGC.
Nevertheless, the league does hold a great deal of autonomy from UGC; head admin Clari-tea has been granted power to hire his own admin team and amend the rules, structure of the league, whitelist, etc. ATF2L does, however, use the UGC website (though it does have its own dedicated section) and UGC medals. Accordingly, players may not simultaneously be rostered in an ATF2L team and another UGC Highlander team, regardless of the region.
Format
ATF2L runs three highlander seasons annually; rostered players participating in the league receive medals receive season medals corresponding to that of UGC's Asia Highlander Medals. For example, participants of ATF2L Season 1 receive their respective UGC Asia Highlander Season 33 medals, participants of ATF2L Season 2 receive UGC Asia Highlander Season 34 medals, etc.
In seasons 1 and 2 of ATF2L, the league had a five-week regular season, followed by a 5-week Top 4 double elimination playoffs structure.
