Can we pause for a minute and recognize that they will pay you 5 dollars not to use 295 gb of data then turn around and charge 10 bucks for 50 gbs? lol

56 / 64 teams registered

Only 8 slots left. If you want to play in the tournament, sign up soon! If you sign up after we have 64 teams, you will be put on a backup team list.

"Did you guys hear that?"

50/64 teams signed up.

Friendly reminder to those that need to pay: don't give your keys to someone aliased as me. My steam url page will be "kevinispwn".

Also I have one potential big sponsor and another pretty damn generous donation someone is providing. More info soon. :)

46/64 teams signed up. We're over two thirds of the way there guys.

No, everyone should feel free to post lft in this thread. Good luck on finding a partner!

I'm hesitant because you have a VAC on record. I'll add you and we'll talk.

42/ 64 teams signed up!

Signups have been incredibly fast, and there are several seriously competitive teams signing up. A few things to note (this info will be added to the main post as well):

- For now, keep up with the updates I post on this thread. There will be a better way of communicating with the players soon, but until then it's nice to have an easy way of sending out info to everyone.

- When we get all 64 teams up, every player who's page is linked on this thread will be invited to a private steam group. It is required to join this steam group.

- I will post a specific date soon but please know that with a week, rosters will lock. Teams can have up to one backup, and that backup will have to be listed on this thread before rosters lock. If you edit your forum post after the roster lock you will get no backups.

- I will be as lenient as possible throughout this tournament. A few rounds in, I will start being a lot more relaxed with dates and communication issues, but to start please keep in mind I'll be working with 128+ people in the tourney and numerous volunteers. There's only so much bending I can do to accommodate people before the workload gets too big. If I ever come off as being rude to you when communicating about this event, please know that is never my intent. I've had 10+ chat windows open at any given time since a few hours after this post, so I'm trying to be concise as possible. :)

- Speaking of volunteers, I'm looking for a few admins. Requirements: be at least sort of almost known in the community (no randoms, sorry i don't have time to screen everyone), leadership experience appreciated, and lots of free time required. If you want to admin, please PM me on tftv. Don't add me or anything, just pm me on tftv. Use this form: http://pastebin.com/6AsTGRQG

- Lastly, I have a few people willing to put in money to the tournament. If you're also interested in sponsoring the tournament, please get in contact with me however you can. Keep in mind any keys, money, or other prizes donated to the event stack on to what's already there, so donate what you can if you're able.

Sent fr. I'll get in touch with you when I get home in a few hours.

Yes! To donate keys to the prizepot, you can send me a trade offer our request whenever.
I may get in touch with you about art at some point, thanks

I should clarify I was seriously wondering if he was trolling of not. When he started mispronouncing "Team Fortress" I kinda figured it was an act though

I feel like I missed something. Is this guy trolling or did I miss something?

34/64 teams have signed up!

One day in, and we're halfway full. Sign up soon if you want to play, guys!

I'll be adding info to the main post about maps and whitelists.

If you are a captain (posted in this thread) and I haven't gotten in touch with you on steam yet, there is an issue. Add me on steam and link to your comment. If you don't add me, I'll struggle to get info to you effectively. There will be a steam group soon, but I want to have everyone added so I can quickly message you guys and resolve issues.

That was pretty much my reasoning. I think it's what I'll end up doing.

Captains (people that posted info in thread), I'm sending out friend requests now. Add me, I'll be sending out info and some important polls through steam.

So far we have 18 teams tentatively signed up. Hopefully we'll see a full 64 team bracket. Signup close date will be posted pretty soon, expect it to be around a week from now.
