| − | + | This was a much altered roster that played at the first Highlander-only TF2 LAN, DeutschLAN. The team was named "checkers", and contained current Chessclub members [[Scissors]] and [[Khazul]], as well as former members [[quintosh]], [[Yoshi]], [[BreakfasT_JR]] and [[Deox]]. [[CeeJæy]] & [[Raptor]] from the team Strong Opinions, as well as [[Kylähullu]], would make up the remaining part of the roster, last mentioned as a last-minute replacement for LANdodger [[Nik]]. The team went unbeaten (8-0) in the group stage, winning 26 rounds and dropping only 1, to [[Fair Enough sponsored by TF2Pickup.net]]. In the Grand Final they came up against Fair Enough again, winning 2 maps to 0 (Lakeside 4-2, Gullywash 5-1) to take home the trophy and prize. | |

[[Fair Enough sponsored by TF2Pickup.net]] pyro [[Lex]] stood in for [[Scissors]] as a merc during the playoffs and finals, [[blub]] replaced [[huhy]] on the main spot as demo, while [[ondkaja]] stepped up from substitute to main soldier in the wake of [[quintosh]]' ban. Before the start of the season, [[atomic]], [[uubers]] and long-time chess member [[Sprayer]] were supposed to continue playing their classes from the previous season where the team had taken home their first ETF2L Premiership championship. Due to a highly controversial kicking of medic [[Sprayer]] however, fellow balt [[uubers]] decided to leave the team, which in turn prompted his long-time friend [[-atomic]] to do the same. |

The roster used in the playoffs and the finals for this season was slightly different from the one above. Engineer [[b4n4n4man]] and sniper [[tracker]] were highly controversially demoted to substitutes after the main season, according to the team due behavorial and availability issues. For the playoffs and finals, the team moved main demoman [[quintosh]] over to the engineer spot, while newly recruited [[inso]] took over the sniper spot. This roster would eventually go on to bring home the team their first ETF2L Premiership title. | The roster used in the playoffs and the finals for this season was slightly different from the one above.

Main demoman [[Kaylus]] was also kicked after having infamously gone AFK during the UGC Platinum Grand Finals, being replaced with [[quintosh]] late in the season. | Although ending with a very satisfying result, this particular roster had many issues over the course of the season, and as a result, changed main heavy no less than 4 times.
