Competitive matchmaking heading to Team Fortress 2

Valve today announced it is bringing competitive matchmaking to Team Fortress 2 in a move that may see the popular game break into the Esports market.

The matchmaking system, whereby players will be matched based on skill level, will be trialed in a closed beta. Players who are keen to jump into the beta can apply to join here.

“Our plan is to start small and increase participation as we go,” Valve advised.

“We know you’d all like to start testing now, and eventually we hope all of you WILL get a chance to play and share your thoughts. But remember that all testing happens in stages, and right now we’re at stage one.”

We’ll keep you up to date as this progresses.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
