YYyyyaaaoooooo!!

eXtv is launching a new venture, an eSports team local to Portland Oregon. Supporting eSports is a passion of ours, and we want to create new approaches that will be more viable than past attempts. We have felt that the Gaming Organizations and eSports teams of the past have failed us, and a new route is needed.

This is an ongoing recruiting effort for players who live within a few hours of Portland, Oregon. If interested, please e-mail eXtine@eXtelevision.com with your steam ID and information about yourself and why you want to join the team.

We will be grandfathering in players from Project X to help us get this project off the ground, and also because they are good friends I want to keep playing with.

As fun and easy as it is to play video games Online with people, we believe that Offline real life interactions are what will push the eSports community forward. Traveling is eXpensive, and it will be difficult enough getting a local team to a local LAN. Building up a local team will insure that we are creating strong bonds with our players that lead to a lasting connection. Our goal is to have an in person meeting once a month.

Players must be 18 or older and will be asked to finance their own league play and sign a contract regarding conduct.

Just like our previous associations with teams, we'll be using the gameplay of our players to provide great content for our Youtube. There are obviously some major long term goals with this effort and we hope that we can eventually provide more for our players.

Team Fortress 2 is definitely our core game, but The BurnSiders will be competing in multiple games.

We have also created a steam group for Fans and Supporters of this effort. We will use the group to spread news about the team and put together pugs: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/BurnSidersFC

We do not have a logo yet, but there will be one, and T-shirts.
