'''Season 8''' was the ninth season of [[ETF2L]]'s [[6v6]] competition. The main season began on October 18th, 2010, and ended in January 2011. The final between [[Epsilon eSports]] and [[Blight Gaming]] was on January 24th, 2011.
Season 8 is the official sequel to Season 7 after the All F*cking Summer Season in 2010, which is excluded from the official count. The Premiership Division was first introduced in this season to house the best European Team Fortress 2 teams. With the establishment of the Premiership Division, the Premiership playoffs were hosted the first time as well. Season 8 had the best prizes up to that date, with hardware and cash worth more than €3,000.
