There’s not really been an update this week, not to TF2 at least. This would have made for a really short podcast. That’s not the full story though since Team Fortress 2 Competitive gets a new logo, which makes us think something is about to start happening here. Which Kotau appears to have picked up on.
As luck would have it, KritzKast made it into the Overwatch BETA. Well, I say luck…
Biggest changes are that we now have a new game mode, KOTH Control, and two new maps.
Oh and player progression, which slowly reveals skins, emotes, sprays and animations.
TF2 Jam was last week, hence the artwork featured here. We walked through our experiences with it.
In that time another update dropped, YAY!
However someone took this as a good time to troll Valve with some shoddy content. Which raises questions about the nature of trust in this industry.
The Overwatch beta is returning. And why do we care? Well that’s a very good question. Good enough for player of the week.
Your chance to be a part of the Matchmaking beta is NOW! A steam group created by valve gives you the chance to sign up for the beta, but also check out the changes they are making to the system. If you want to give it a go, Check it out here.
However, More news that might interest you, Random Hats are now dropping in the game again. Thats right you too could walk away with the TF2 hat without buying a key. Just keep playing…thats all we ask.
While your at it, why not check out the National Heavy Boxing League (NHBL) Who are putting on shows with their fighters this weekend. Check here for all the details.

A couple of updates in the week fix a few issues and make one big change to the Pyro.
This is also the week where the TF2 and cosplay community remember Nick Pivato. The world famous Saxton Hale Cosplayer who passed this week.
Also In the episode is details about PugChamp, The new Comp Pick up service, The Iron Gauntlet a Workshop Showcase of MvM Themed items. From the Overwatch side, the beta has been held back til the mid February. But the reason, new maps and more importantly, new game modes. Plus region specific merch. Its a good week.
