Denmark, literary home of fairytales and Vikings, is soon to play host to Team Fortress 2 at the 2018 Copenhagen Games. KritzKast, in cahoots with TeamSourceTF and r/sfm, are looking for your SFM stills to spice up the joint Highlander and 6v6 LAN. You have until March 19th to create the perfect picture, appealing to such eccentric categories as "most fighters", "most Danish thing" and "best depiction of damage". Full details can be found on Twitter, and by visiting TeamSourceTF's Discord.

The Jungle Inferno Campaign will be officially coming to an end this Sunday, February 11th. But don't despair -- Jungle Inferno contracts will continue to be available for existing pass owners.

You'll have to say goodbye to the Jungle Inferno main menu theme and the Special Events matchmaking category, but you'll still be able to play all of the Jungle Inferno maps. Each map will move to the appropriate matchmaking group based on its game mode. Now get back to taunting complete strangers!
