What is Decade.tf?
Decade.tf
is a group of Team Fortress 2 community members from all around the world,
dedicated to helping everyone celebrate the 10th anniversary the game. There
are contributors and staff members from all different parts of the community,
different game modes, YouTube, Twitch, competitive players, and they’re all
working together to create something special for the community, as the game
draws closer to being a decade old.What will they do doing?
Decade.tf
plans to host a stream, showcasing the many aspects, facets and communities of
TF2 over a ~24h period that have been created thanks to amazing community
efforts over the past years; hopefully with a lot of familiar faces.
(Intercontinental) Show matches, community created and officially added game
modes, TF2 trivia, jumping, surfing, playing pubs with legends and much more! Additionally, we’re still open to suggestions 😀The event will also serve as a fundraiser, raising money for an amazing charity; SpecialEffect. They make video games accessible to everyone. This includes the many people they support with disabilities, who without SpecialEffect’s support, would not be able to enjoy games, and be included in the amazing culture surrounding them. Two thirds of proceeds will go to the SpecialEffect.
One third of the proceeds will also be set aside for a “community fund”. This will be used for contributing to major LAN’s and event’s prize pools in the future. Some of it may also be used to contribute to professional team’s travel expenses to these events.
What will the format going to be like?
The stream will be “split” into 3 sections; AU, EU, and NA. In each of these sections, the plan is to roughly repeat the schedule, but swapping out AU personalities for EU ones, and then NA. Although one of the main goals of the event is to promote the unity, and togetherness in the community, the decision was made to split the stream up a little for many reasons. One of which was that if people can watch a more local personality, at a more convenient local time, then it would be more likely to get their interest, as well as being more enjoyable to view. That being said, each section will be most definitely be very unique. Again, the schedule “repeat” should be pretty rough, so if viewers can catch more than their local time zone’s “section”, it should be worth the watch.
When and Where can I see the event?
The
stream will be viewable on Twitch, and
also through a portal on the decade.tf website, which will appear after the
countdown ends.The
event will take place on the 7th & 8th of October, the start time hasn’t
yet been set exactly, but hopefully the stream should start around 5pm for the
majority of viewer’s local time.
