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.
