Tournaments either hosted in/from Spain or for a Spanish audience:

Spanish Allstar (2009-2012)

This was a yearly event held by TF2Portal.es in which Spain was split into the East and West, recalling the NBA Allstar. Allstar editions 1, 2 and 3 were played by the top Spanish players in the top teams in Europe. Some well-known players for this event were longás, jan, Hiper, Rol3, HarryHook, Estanis, Erner0, Pescanova, etc. Most of them were playing in Premiership Divison and Divisions 1 and 2, in teams like Mister (later Gamerzone), GIANTS and k0. This event was not continued with time due to the lack of players and lack of interest.

For Edition 3, it also created a Rookie Allstar, where players from Division 5 and Division 6 would copy the best in an accesible way for newcomers and the MVP from each team would later play in the better Allstar

Edition 4, due to the lack of players, had a mix of newcomers and Spanish legends.

Editions 1-3 were won by the West, while Edition 4 was the first and only victory for the East.

Crazy Summer Weeks 2011

In August 2011, Spanish community leaders organized a multidisciplinary event called Crazy Summer Weeks to promote competitive Team Fortress 2 in the Summer, when there are more players able to play the game. The event consisted of 1v1 Sniper in Arena maps, a 1v1 Soldier Turris competition and an Ultiduo Tournament.

Olympic Fortress 2012

In August 2012, and conmemorating the London 2012 Olympic Games, the community ran another multidisciplinary event. This time the events were named 1v1 sKOut (1v1 Scout); 2v2 B-Fall (2v2 Bball); UltiduRo (Ultiduo) and a 4v4 King of the Hell (4v4 koth).

Mediavida Winter Cup

Back in the 2011-2012 winter, the Spanish community MediaVida (literal translation of Half Life in Spanish) ran a cup mixing low division competitive 6v6 players and completely new players willing to start the competitive. The format the teams were created was very similar to a Draft: experienced players were seeded with some points and then the new players were based on the MediaVida server points. Following this idea, the teams (whose teamnames were animals like Dolphins, Falcons, etc.) were organized with 2-3 experienced players and the rest fully new to competitive 6v6. The cup format was single elimination best of 3 and became very popular towards the finals.

Pros vs Pubbers

Back in 2011, along with the Spanish Allstar 3, TF2Portal organized an event consisting of 6 Pro players (Division 4 or above) against 9 Pubbers (Division 5 or below, including pub). This best-of-3 game was a clash between 6v6 players and the 9v9 highlander mode

Men vs Women

In early 2015, the Steel and Stone community organised a Sunday best-of-3 game where 9 male players and 9 female players would face in the 9v9 or Highlander mode for the gender supremacy within the previously mentioned community, whose main admin is Mayka.
