Scream Fortress is coming early! You're used to News posts about competitive events, but this will probably be the last post you were expecting! Beginning September 16th, there will be a community-run, competitive, Highlander, Halloween tournament fully loaded with bosses, spells, pumpkin bombs and best of all: real life medals for every participant! (You can view the medals HERE!)


The goal of this event is to enjoy all of the Scream Fortress Halloween maps. It should be treated as a very casual event with the intention of just having a good time! While the event is primary North American for the time being, all players of every region are welcome to join.
