No, I'm not talking about those hideous little things you see taking over your female Facebook friend's timeline. I'm talking about the good ol' Pick Up Games.
Remember the PUG days of NS1? Arguably, the best days of NS to date. What made it simple and efficient, was the script that was used in the IRC channel.
I know most of us don't use IRC anymore, so I was wondering if perhaps we could get a similar script going via a website, or perhaps (long-shot here) the game itself. There was just something unique about organizing teams before-hand and being able to play with a tighter group of people than what you get in PUBs.
Devs, what do you say?

This game is awsome for competitive play AND spectating.
With a little bit more dev attention towards that,it can really become an esports title.
