Your best bet would be to post in the ETF2L Recruitment sub forums which are specifically for Highlander:

Also, is eXtv likely to be willing to set up another donation drive for i49, or would it be another person/org?

I am not familiar enough with how i46 was eventually organised.

It'd be interesting to know roughly how much it would be to send 1 team to i49 if flights were booked in say, late April or earlier?

I believe NA teams are also welcome to sign up provided they play on EU servers. Groups will usually consist of teams from similar timezones where possible.

Thanks lamefx.

Is it possible to add times to the thread title? I can't seem to do it on the original post.

9 men have already beaten TwistedPlay in the group stages, so perhaps we'll see another upset!
