Byte will be leading the Team UK charge, with a seasoned team of players, including the ladies man Fisshu and the king of medics, Antyy, the awesome numlocked playing demo, while Byte goes back to his roots and slots into the medic role.
Team USA will more than likely include harbleu and Blackymonster, amongst others.
Maps are Granary and Badlands, and providing there are no complaints (from either side) about ping and/or lag issues, it should turn out to be a pretty interesting game.
The Hungary vs Latvia game starts at 21:15 CEST (20:15 UK time), while the USA vs UK match kicks off at 22:20 CEST (which is 21:20 UK time). TF2TV will be casting the matches.
