Itâs a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming. But it is never time to rest! A cloud cover has blocked out the sun, and a blight has overtaken our facilities. But by facilities, we mean Gray Gravel Co. and by blight, we mean massive hordes of robots!

Operation Magnetic Mayhem is starting now, today, this very day at this very hour! The folks at Moonlight MvM have cooked a very spicy menu of over 20 new bone-breakingly hard missions for you to grind your teeth on: six intermediate, nine advanced, and six expert missions. Fracture the hordes to earn up to 2 in-game medals! Event servers are available worldwide in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South Africa.

If enough of your skeleton is still intact after that, you can support the National Brain Tumor Society to support the ongoing effort to help cure and prevent brain tumors. Up to 3 donor medals are up for grabs for donating $5, $15, and $25 dollars. Click here for more information on how to donate.

Interested in making your own custom MvM content? Moonlight is accepting new content submissions for the next event! Check out our guides for MvM content creation or join the Moonlight MvM Discord for more information. All contributors will earn a super special in-game creator medal!

Have fun, but donât delay, as this tour will end in 14 days on June 17th, 2024!

The North American TF2 Competitive offseason is kicking off with a bang! Fireside is hosting the Fireside Cup, a $600 (with potential to increase via fundraising), two week cup featuring the best North American sixes players in the region. Not to mention, some of the best teams like Like A G6 will be participating! There is one kicker to this cup though: apart from the traditional sixes composition of two scouts, two soldiers, one demoman, and one medic, only one off-class can be on the field at any time.

This will force teams to put a little more creativity into how they approach any given scenario throughout the game. Gone are the days of the Engineer reinforced Heavy / Pyro / Sniper last hold! The first week will be a best of two group stage, and the next week will follow with a best of 3 playoffs to decide the winner of the cup.

The cup will take place on the weekdays between May 13 - May 23 and will be broadcasted by Fireside and EssentialsTF. Come tune in and watch the best of North America duke it out.
