Sources close to VTF2 report that ex-wotr player 
TopGear is assembling a team of circa 2008 top UK talent.
The rumoured line-up involves former 4kings player and Destructo All-Stars nominee Abomination, Josh‘s internet human rights lawyer nVc (of nvcgamer.eu), author of Resupply’s TF2 Strategy series Arx, bi-polar Steam vs in-game personality disorder sufferer Vlad Drac and numlocked.
Fragga’s name was also mentioned, but it is understood that he declined after realising that taking part would be a conflict of interest with his quasi-religious quest to prove that he’s obviously the best European-based soldier by playing 3000 miles away in North American leagues, calculating K:D ratios and writing sarky comments on ETF2L match pages.
The team is apparently looking for a “Div 1″ UK medic to complete the roster. Considering his current healing strike with what women want, could a Dunc and numlocked reunion be on the horizon?

shintaz
numlocked
fragga
daf
+1 or 2 extras
Would be my choice, all of whom I had been planning on asking to embark on a similar venture next Wednesday, once I’m done with final day of my final year of University.
Two odd years out of competitive TF2, 9 months without a working mic and a DIY mouse, tediously anticipating the day I would finally be free from the toils of Uni and become empowered to play competitively again, then 5 days before the day of reckoning…

- # - nice! +0I sorely doubt Shintaz or Num would ever play with Fragga again, and I doubt Num would play with Shintaz.. otherwise you might be on to a winner!
You should include yourself though m8!!
- # - nice! +0Kovacs, this just wouldn’t have even been possible with you, TopGear is big in this scene, you only think you are.
- # - nice! +0The only way dunc would be joining this team is if we were being sponsered by newcastle brown ale. But yes I am trying to put a new team of “UK” players together. If you feel you have the necessary skills and are from the UK please look me up on steam. I am currently looking for a medic so I dont have to play it ;p
- # - nice! +0ME TOPGEAR, ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- # - nice! +0Bait taken, who are you hippole? :S
I have no illusions about many players opinions of me in this scene, nor do I have illusions of having some kind of grandiose (or just any) positive status here as a player/person.
In fact I spent a greater part of my time in TF2 in the last 2 years acting up (mainly towards Byte + anyone div3 or below + some admins + any haters), even gaining myself an honorary mention in tf2street’s blog about deluded fuckwits in the scene, or something like that. He essentially took to a whole new level what I was trying to achieve – several people even thought he was me to begin with and suggested that I had cunningly flamed myself to obscure it…
The irony is, despite all the stupid behavior, trolling and general shit talk, I’ve still probably had more offers to join top div2 teams than you could ever hope to achieve in two years of effort TRYING to get people to like you rather than the opposite.
Oh and, exactly around the time when Byte joined [FB] to help them – probably over a year ago now – I attempted to form my own roster of select UK players, three of whom are listed in my previous comment and all of whom agreed to play with me and the others, as a kind of benchmark/trial to see what happens. The only pitfall was my naivety in asking two players who would probably NEVER play with me in a team, Byte being one of them. He repeatedly declined to give me a definitive answer at the time over the course of 2-3 days then he joined [FB] and never did give me an answer. Clearly he was trolling me in retrospect and had no intention of ever pursuing this.
As he was the only good available UK demo available at the time (joske/drjustice/numlocked etc were all in other teams or had temporarily quit the scene) it never materialized, despite convincing two other quality UK players to give it a shot, i.e. A roster of five out of seven asked. Peace.
- # - nice! +0tl:dr, AGAIN
- # - nice! +0Nice response, respect for no flame.
- # - nice! +0Apparently Fragga is joining a new NA team – Mindbomb with dummy, phelon, sycknesS and bunch of others.

- # - nice! +01) It’d take more than free drinks for his teams mates to get him in topgear.
2) KOVACS, i always feel sorry for you man.. like seeing a childhood friend slowly succumb to alzheimers or something, it gets worse each time and you dread visiting him again because you don’t like to see him with his thumb in his mouth trying to microwave the tv remote, just embarassing.
3) Is bipolar the best you could do? I’ve put in a lot of groundwork, you owe me more than this.
- # - nice! +0PLEASE TAKE DUNC…
- # - nice! +0Fragga surely would never play with dunc again, even though it would be an upgrade to what he has now
- # - nice! +0Vlad, you’re the one that seems to feel the need to shoot me down wherever you see me post, regardless of what I write, ever since a trivial irc convo several YEARS ago in which I was clearly trolling you. How am I the one with issues here?
As always, everything I wrote is truth – why would I write something false when most of the players mentioned or related to my post are likely to read this blog. I was simply replying to the bait from hippole, whats the problem here??? How does this make me deluded?
Or are you just QQ’ing because you actually give a shit that I didn’t mention you in my little list of suggested players? Or maybe you see me as some kind of threat to your position in this roster?
- # - nice! +0hay guise whats goin on in this side
- # - nice! +0oh boy this is where the gossip will be at :D Hopefully with a top bloke like Topgear he can manage to tame his team…..
