I'm not registering but I am recommending a Charity to donate to if we win. I am a big fan of Extra Life. They are a charity that relys on gamers. Slogan is "Play Games, Heal Kids". They are registered and are very involved with Twitch and Humble Bundle based charities.

[Twin 34 / 2,663]

So far we only have a team of five and we reaaallly need those subs guys. Invite more players please. I'd hate for us to miss out just because someone decided not to be available or because we don't have enough players come game-day.

Also, why are you guys using your alts to compete?? There is no reason for it. I also recommend reading the extended rules section if you have yet to do so.

I'll be changing mine to Extra life. I've actually been thinking a lot about which charitable cause relates to me the most, and I'm certainly happy with it. BUT... All I'm saying is that if someone promised me a lollipop and he told me I'd get grape instead of the strawberry I asked for, i wouldn't drop out. This is a charity, and not an, "I don't get what I want so I'm leaving." I hope to see you come game day.
