Maverick Warriors is the organizer behind the largest and most famous L4D2 tournaments in the scene. If you want to see some modern competitive L4D2, you picked the right time! We’re at the very end of the 2018 MavWar Hype tournament. For the longest time, the competitive scene limited itself to stock Valve maps, but recently they’re playing a lot more custom campaigns.
The strategy is so reliant on positioning that you’ll quickly learn amazing ambush spots and critical junctions on each map. Plus, it’s very good at teaching you how to play better. I can’t really think of another game that evokes the same feeling. A spectator experienceĬompetitive Left 4 Dead 2 is a lot more cinematic to watch than most other eSports. Tanks in high-level play are insane, busting out curveball rocks, bunny hopping to clear distance, and in general being the highlight of every map. Both of these are high-intensity moments, especially the Tank as it’s the zombie team’s best chance at securing an incap. Every down ratchets up the suspense.Įvery map is set up to have only one Tank spawn and one Witch spawn. This means if the fourth Survivor gets downed or killed, the remaining trio is at constant risk of getting triple-capped. L4D2 ensures there are only 3 pinning specials on the field at once. In many leagues, even the Hunting Rifle’s considered too powerful and gets replaced with the bolt-action Steyr Scout from Counter-Strike: Source. Survivors only have access to semi-auto shotguns, submachine guns, and usually a single Hunting Rifle. So you will notice that for competitive play these elements have been drastically nerfed. Their guns, grenades, medkits, and defibrillators are just too strong for the zombie team to overcome. Not to mention in high-level play the Survivor team is extremely overpowered. After all, the two teams have vastly different goals for winning. Left 4 Dead 2‘s gameplay isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of competitive esports. At the end of the campaign, both teams have their distance scores added from each map and whichever got further overall wins. After the first team reaches the safe room or dies trying, teams switch sides and the other team gets a chance to see how far they get. The other team plays as zombies and attempts to kill the Survivor team as fast as possible. For those who don’t know L4D2‘s gameplay: One team plays as the Survivors and attempts to reach the safe room at the end of the map.
