pos, 1) TF2 =/= source. asking "who are these teams" is like a backgammon player asking who the fighters are on a main card

2) "torrez , daffsta , remix , struk , minitorrez and me


hope to do some dmg this season =)"

the only people who would care about a roster like that would be in the spider solitaire section of gotfrag.. take a hike

All of these teams will play any game for money, even if it's as bad as TF2.

TF2 is the worst major release for a team game in years. Involves almost no skill and is horribly random, but if people are putting up 10k+ in prizes, good teams from dead games will give it a shot.

TF2 is a brilliant game for what it was designed for, Pubs. Competitive TF2 is almost as dumb as Competitive WoW arena though.
You can find me on monster.

You can look at #30's picture and see why he's raging on GotFrag.
Basically I just C-Walked on his ass and he left.

if I was #30 I would probably hate life also. For those talking about competitive play being dumb. They must just like playing the same damn game for 8 years straight. Thats sure a hell of a lot of fun.
