Guys I've found that website (YEAH, THAT'S REMOVED) and bought a l4d cd-key because I couldnt afford the $50 (+tax) the game cost on Steam. And surprisingly enough, i was able to register the cd-key on steam and play the game directly :)

So, now that I have the game, what servers are the best :P?

Just a little addition to explain this, here is a post written by Sierra Oscar, a Steam Forum Moderator. He is talking about a similar site:

That "G2Play" site is not legit. They are an unauthorized reseller selling retail keys without retail boxes. Valve have a stict policy in place when it comes to just selling game CD Keys - and those guys were operating under the radar up until a few weeks back when Valve became aware of them.

This occured a few years back with another site just selling CD Keys, and Valve region locked the CD Keys. If this occurs there is a chance that you will be unable to play the game if you are outside the "region" the CD Key was first originally allocated to.

Buyer beware, that is all I will say!

In short, selling CD-keys only is not allowed and you could possibly end up having wasted your money as soon as that key stops working. Don't do it.
