they would fit into the Deadlock development, imo

Would be interesting, though I don't imagine they'd do that - Deadlock is pretty far along (despite the "early development" tag) and they seem like they have a full dev team.

Valve seems to hire teams for new projects (such as Portal and Left 4 dead) so I'd be really interested to see if they're doing something new

I mean, they're not gonna stop developing deadlock once it comes out. It's likely gonna be a decade long project at least. More hands won't hurt.

More hands won't hurt.

Well, that's not entirely true

Sure, but deadlock isn't exactly late. And if there's a time when you want to add more developers, then an alpha when the game is still in the early stages is the best time to do so
