Catching up on some movies that should have been linked this weekend, but got overshadowed by other cool activities.

First up, the most recent “top10″ (actually 5), by CommFT. Everybody loves to be crowned a winner at something. Our favourite, Haunter’s taunt kill only reached 5th. But, hey – you’re all winners in our book :)

Next, 2 rivaling NA teams luring some free work out of video editing computer nerds, showcasing their best frags from ESEA season 5. As far as this writer can see, Pandemic managed to pull the best nerd. Judge for yourself, here’s both.

Pandemic, by Justin White:

Muscle Milk and Moolians, by Subtitled:

In NA it is currently off-season which has lead to several changes in the top tier teams.

Evil Geniuses (who finished third at ESEA LAN Playoffs) “cuts” both sycknesS (scout) and pheLon (soldier). They will be replaced with ruwin (scout, who used to play medic) and Seagull (soldier). Seagull was in Blight who finished 2nd at the ESEA Lan. Ruwin was also in Blight at the beginning of the season, but unexpectedly quit TF2.

Kermit is leaving Pandemic (who will be under a new name since their sponser died) after not making it to the ESEA LAN (Pandemic were forced to use Shade who some people had never heard of). He will be replaced by Droog, a top level ESEA-Open (mid-low d2) demoman, who will be on his first ESEA roster.

A new invite level team (Division 1) is forming and has an expected roster of paladin (scout/soldier), punisher (scout), syckness (scout/sniper), grillz (medic), hong (soldier), dummy (demoman) and the return of boodah (sniper/scout). It has not been announced who their main 6 players will be.
