Tourettes Chessclub, commonly referred to chess, are the former ETF2L 2-time Premiership Highlander Champions and are the only team, other than SNSD and Strong Opinions who have 3 apiece, to have won the title more than once. Although being highly successful, the team is infamous for their ever-changing roster, with the only two players to remain on the roster since the beginning being the founders Scissors and Khazul. The team were inactive for the entirety of ETF2L Highlander Season 10 however as of 29th June 2016 there are plans to revive the team for Season 11.

Founding of the team

Much like Colony, the original Tourettes Chessclub roster also consisted primarily of pubbers from the Rocket Blast public servers, with mid-season replacements such as Sprayer and Yoshi being recruited from TF2Lobby.

DeutschLAN 2015Roster

Although hardly similar to the recent Chess roster, this roster for the first Highlander-only TF2 LAN, DeutschLAN, would actually contain more familiar chess-faces than most other variations of the team. The team was named "checkers", and contained current Chessclub members Scissors and Khazul, as well as former members quintosh, Yoshi, BreakfasT_JR and Deox. CeeJaey & Raptor from the team Strong Opinions, as well as Kylähullu, would make up the remaining part of the roster, last mentioned as a last-minute replacement for LANdodger Nik. The team went unbeaten (8-0) in the group stage, winning 26 rounds and dropping only 1, to Fair Enough. In the Grand Final they came up against Fair Enough again, winning 2 maps to 0 (Lakeside 4-2, Gullywash 5-1) to take home the trophy and the prize.

ETF2L Highlander Season 8

This was how the roster looked for the majority of the season, as Scissors left the team shortly before the playoffs, huhy quit TF2 due to availability issues, and former ETF2L anti-cheat admin quintosh was banned for the season for having leaked confidential information regarding anti-cheat work. Fair Enough's pyro, Lex, stood in for Scissors as a merc during the playoffs and finals, blub replaced huhy on demo, while ondkaja stepped up from substitute to main soldier in the wake of quintosh' ban. Before the start of the season, atomic, uubers and long-time chess member Sprayer were supposed to continue playing their classes from the previous season where the team had taken home their first ETF2L Premiership championship. Due to a highly controversial kicking of Sprayer, however, fellow team mates uubers decided to leave the team, which in turn prompted his long-time friend -atomic to do the same.

ETF2L Highlander Season 7

The roster used in the playoffs and the finals for this season was slightly different from the one above. Engineer b4n4n4man and sniper tracker were highly controversially demoted to substitutes after the main season, according to the team due behavorial and availability issues. For the playoffs and finals, the team moved main demoman quintosh over to the engineer spot, while newly recruited inso took over the sniper spot. This roster would eventually go on to bring home the team their first ETF2L Premiership title.

ETF2L Highlander Season 6

Although ending with a very satisfying result, this particular roster had many issues over the course of the season, and as a result, changed main heavy no less than 4 times. Main demoman Kaylus was also kicked after having infamously gone AFK during the UGC Platinum Grand Finals, being replaced with quintosh late in the season.

Trivia

• Tourettes Chessclub were briefly known as Chessclub Techniques! during ETF2L Highlander Season 5, as their heavy, famed Kritzkast host and Team Fortress 2 content creator, Ruskeydoo, could not play in a team with a potentially offensive name like "Tourettes Chessclub".
