Last year with Sal's generous personal contribution and a community-raised $16,000, we sent two North American teams to Telford, UK to face the Europeans on the greatest stage TF2 has to offer: i46.
This time around we're looking to send one North American team back for a rematch at i49. The ESEA S13 LAN winners will be the preferred recipients of the funding.
We'll (TFTV) be running a fundraiser through http://www.indiegogo.com/ starting April 1 through May 30 in an effort to raise the roughly 10,000 USD required to get a team of six from NA to the UK. Plane tickets comprise the bulk of the cost, so if anyone has any connections/suggestions to lessen the expense, please speak up!
Full details will be released when donations open (April 1), but we'll be happy to answer/listen to any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc. here.
