The idea of a SourceOP team is an interesting one all except for the fact that people that form/join clans all get along, communicate, and play well with each other. I bet you could grab the 6 best players on sourceop and they wouldn't stand a chance against H2O because of the communication and experience. Its best to let people form clans with the people they like to play with.
I don't know your competitive experience Agua, but very few clans/players make the transition well at all. Not to say it doesn't come to them eventually but when you play against other experienced clans that know what they're doing you will get rolled more often than not. I've been on inexperienced teams that had a significant amount more skill than the teams we've played and lost because they played better as a team. Its all in experience, skill, problem solving, and communication. But im yet to see a person that has a real desire to play competitively and stick with it past being rolled not eventually get it somewhat together and play well and move forward.
Basically i think it would be cool to make the Pro-Rotation server private and be somewhat selective on who got to play...problem is most people play on the servers because they are either 32 man or 24/7 one map and it would fail hardcore without a commitment of a good amount of players.
