Anyone up for a "reddit laggers" team for that Highlander-ETF2L Tournament mentioned on the TF2 blog?

From the TF2 blog:

ETF2L is gearing up for their Highlander Community Challenge. It's a fun tournament aimed at getting lots of people into some fun competitive matches. In addition, we're providing them with the ability to give out in-game medals to players who participate in the tournament.

.

Are non-European teams welcome?

Yes, as long as you are fine with playing on European servers and in European timezones.

Okay so here is the deal, I want to play in the tournament but I live in Australia and my average ping to Europe is around 300ms. I know from experience that with a bit of patience it is playable but it is obviously harder to play well so I didn't think it would be fair to join an existing team. So I figured I'd try to make a team here on reddit where a bunch of laggers (i.e. non-Europeans) could get together and play.

Since we will be lagging the goal is more about having fun than winning, personally I don't get to play Highlander enough and, hey, we get medals.

My only requirement is the you need to be a bit flexible about when you can play since we will potentially have people from many different timezones playing. I'm not too worried about that though, teams have 14 players and only 9 play at a time, plus the times of the matches are organized between teams so we can try to pick a time that suits as many people as possible.

Non-laggers are also welcome.

Details are a bit light at the moment but sign ups start sometime between now and the 22nd, if there is enough interest here I'll organise the team.

EDIT: I'm no longer running this, see MissMolli's comment though if you are still interested.
