We would like to congratulate SlaughterHouse Gaming for reaching the finals in their TF2 Central ESEA Division. You guys have shown great skill as well as good sportsmanship. Good Luck in the Finals. ESEA, is a league in which teams of 6, compete against each other on various TF2 Maps. So far, Slaughterhouse's record for this season is 11-7 and they are 2-0 in the playoffs.

I was lucky enough to get a interview from Alan of SlaughterHouse Gaming. Below is the interview and all the information about the match, where to watch it, when and where.

Meet the Pro Team:

jasonelmore: What has been your teams favorite map and game mode this season?

Alan: Our Favorite maps have been cp_badlands, cp_frieght, and cp_granary by far. The only game mode we do is CP in the league.

jasonelmore: A lot of our members have been participating with in-clan scrims with your team. Has this improved your teams skill and ability?

Alan: In clan scrims actually do not help us out much. But I do believe it lets the community know the big difference between 6vs6 play and public server play. I think the more the community is involved with 6vs6, the more they will get better and that should help improve the scrim teams skill and ability

jasonelmore: Over time, we have seen your roster change , Do you believe that you guys have found the perfect formula of skill type vs. class or are you guys constantly looking for new ways and strategy's to approach a opposing team.

Alan: Well we are always looking for new ways to approach opposing teams new strategy's and finding new ways to win. Hopefully though the roster we currently have will stay the same.

jasonelmore: Who has been your toughest opponent this season?

Alan: I hate to say it, but the next opponent we play, Tool Academy; they are a mix up of great players and they have yet to be beaten. They have one member of the team who is a great scout, and they have some of the best soldier's in the division.

jasonelmore: When you guys go into the battlefield, what class set do you use? how many of each class?

Alan: Most of the time the basic makeup or our team is, 2 soldiers, 2 scouts , 1 demo , and 1 medic. However we do vary on last point pushes with a sniper sometimes.

jasonelmore: And Finally, What will you guys look to improve upon on when next season rolls around?

Alan: Teamwork always , That is pretty much what separates teams from being good and being bad. Also Communication is key.

jasonelmore: We'd like to thank you for your time Alan, Best of luck to your team. We will be watching to root you on!

Atomsk came in second but he had plenty of heart to put in those hours, congrats to him and the other five ppl that will be getting a prize one way or the other. I'm looking into having this again soon, i'm talking to sponsers, seeing if they will be willing to donate for a sponsered event or something like that.

REPORT_003: 15SEP09 [2043 PST]
Over the next week or so we will be testing a new plug-in that will allow any client on the servers, to equip each class's custom hats. Unlike the donator menu, which allows any class to wear any hat, the equip menu's power will be limited to wearing only the hats that were designed for each class.

To equip any of the custom hats, simply type !equip in the "All Chat" window, and a menu will pop up asking you to pick a slot, then a hat. This plug-in has 3 slots, so you can equip up to 3 hats, items, or any other content Valve may develop in the future. We hope you enjoy this unique plug-in and we look forward to seeing you on the servers!]]> http://www.bhslaughter.com/index.php?c=0#post48 http://www.bhslaughter.com/index.php?c=0#post48 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 14:20:05 -0500
REPORT_001: 06AUG09 [0010 PST]
As of 0010 PST this morning, the OBHL (codename: Vera) satellite relay system was put into orbit. We now have control of "Vera" within the servers and violators of our rules/regulations should be warned, we will use it! Expect further updates to this powerful tool as time progresses. There is no telling where this technology could take us in the near future. Our scientists and engineers are working hard to produce further developments. As of now "Vera" has three modes: Single Target, Free-aim Mode, and Devastator Mode.

REPORT_002: 07AUG09 [0200 PST]
Upgrades to the satellite link have been underway for the past two days but we expect to have the new uplink ready to go by the weekend. Players be warned we will be testing "Vera" at a disclosed location known as "Project Blowout".

Special Footage of "Vera" in action can be found at the following links:
