us national video game team?
« on: May 04, 2016, 06:02:53 pm »
Does such a thing actually exist?  I saw a post somewhere last summer saying there was going to be a "reincarnation" of the team, but then nothing for almost a year.  Wasn't this team a Walter and Steve Harris thing from years and years ago?  Are they bringing their idea back or did someone else just decide to grab the old name and is now trying to capitalize on the cool name and former glory but just can't get their act together?  Can someone post a roster of the team since I did a quick search but didn't find one?  How can there be a team with no members a year after it "reformed"?  Whole thing seems a bit strange.

Well they could be just holding it until a the right time to sell it for big bucks.  If you think about it esports has grown a lot over the past few years, and it doesn't seem inconceivable that someone with big money may want to use this name as they want some kind of country Vs. country competition.

The new owner and Donkey Kong killscreener, Patrick Patterson, has an account here: WilhelmScream. Maybe you'll get a response. By the way, we should probably grant him a L=22 badge.

Thanks Wes!  I didn't realize Patrick was a member here.  I was thinking about sending him a message about this but since he's a member I'll just wait for him to respond here so everyone can get the answers instead of just me.
