    This is decent, But maybe you should post on GameArena or something, Because most users on GotGames have played fps games for a year or more.
    But yeah, It's very efficient.

    Top Counter-Strike Source Teams in Australia: Sydney Underground
    The rest of the teams you have up there yet to prove them self's on lan and online and its not fair to put those teams in same league as SU as they are not even close .
    Sydney Underground is the only pro team in Australia at the moment no other team comes even close.
