Copy/paste THEN proofread.

5 man teams are going to be hard.  I don't think I ever played 5v5.  Guess I'll have to try it out.

[GPAThe_Kid]

I've played in a 6man and 8man leagues, with the [REC] guys.

GPA will be fielding at least one team.

Fixed your post to say TF2 instead of L4D, Iz.

You know there is a button labeled "preview," right?

[izumo13]

The 5 man teams worked out alright last year.  We'd be hard pressed to get a good amount of teams otherwise. Trust me, I'd rather be doing 8 man, but 8 x 8 is 64, and I don't see us getting there.  40 seems more reasonable.

BTW, thanks Jonny.

OK, i know this is short notice. and i understand if things don't boil over as planned. that being said, NCS would like to participate in this tourney. unfortunately only 3 of our members will be attending the event.and only 2 of us have and know the game.
so this is where you other gamers come in. if you are interested in playing on the NCS team please post a comment or a reply message below. team allocation will be based on a first come first serve basis.
