| − | + | TF2Center is the leading website dedicated to competitive pickup games (PUG) for Team Fortress 2. Developed over the course of 2 years, the site has been in beta since 2013, and allows players from across the world to play Highlander, 6v6, 4v4, Ultiduo and BBall, with specific focus on North America, European and Australian leagues. The site was created by MasterNoob, Marty, Mother Tereza, Foxy and jayserp, and is considered the successor to TF2Lobby, seeing nearly 1000 players at peak, and delivering over 10,000 lobbies since its inception. | |
