TFConnect is blazing a trail back like a man flying through the air in a stub-nosed sports car!

Veg-out to a gargantuan, bite-sized 80s’ internet throw-back event. The gnarly agenda includes an interview with Mike Morasky, award-winning composer of TF2’s legendary soundtrack. They also have the most epic server packed to the gills with gaming creators from across the web. Chaos makes a welcome return and there are spotlights showing the best of this community, the TF2 Quiz Show, MvM with Valve Devs, & much more!

The event streams, like totally live, December 7th from 6:30 am Eastern (12:30 CET) on the KritzKast Twitch channel.

Donations are now OPEN on the TFConnect website!

TFConnect has raised over $100,000 for charities including this year’s cause, SpecialEffect. This charity has a profoundly positive impact on quality of life, confidence and rehabilitation of disabled gamers.

Remember what the dinosaur told us, "Teamwork is very important."

Operation Ghoulish Gambit

Thought you were done being spooked, startled, terrified, or even downright horrified? Well GUESS AGAIN! Something very scary is coming just before Christmas. How scary exactly? We're sure you’d love to know, but unfortunately what’s in store for you is so scary, so terrifying, so unabashedly EVIL that you might immediately DIE if you even heard how diabolical things are about to get, and quite frankly nobody wants to be on the hook for that.

Operation Ghoulish Gambit is a new Mann vs. Machine charity event brought to you by Potato MvM! Complete over two dozen missions across new and returning maps! Event servers are available in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Click here to get started!
