This weekend, the "Communities vs Pros" Team Fortress 2 event is being broadcast live over on EOREALITY, and it sounds awesome! The tournament sees a professional team of six from the competitive circuit up against a group of nine amateurs chosen from the best a brightest clans on the community servers; and hey, one of the contestants is from BrB!U, the old home of Dtoid's Team Fortress 2sdays! (Thanks for catching that, lucashoal!)

The stream begins at 9 tomorrow night and ends when the final point is captured. You should go check it out!

Here are the details:

• Date/Time: Saturday, February 11 at 9 PM EST
• Livestream: http://eoreality.net/events
• Steam Community: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/cvsp
• Promotional video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDRGeWDu90U

The event is already in its third year (it was formerly known as "6v9"), and if previous outings are anything to go by it's bound to be a blast. So let's all pop up some corn and cheer on our favorite team! And in the meantime, let's get in a little fun of our own!

New to FNF? Read this! Each week, a bunch of us Dtoiders get together to play videogames online! It's a 100% community-run event, so feel free to join in or even host something yourself!

The planning for FNF starts in the forums, where community members volunteer to host matches and post their pertinent details (game, time, Gamertag, etc.). Then, every Friday, reminder posts go up in the community blogs followed by a recap post here on the front page for last-minute planning.

To join in, simply send a friend request to the match host! (Don't forget to say you're from Dtoid!) If you'd rather host something yourself, sound off in the comments section below!

We hope to see you online!
