while i realise most people are still traveling, i figured i'd start this thread off while my memory's fresh.

thanks to esports united united and the other sponsors who made the tournamen, real big.

thanks to sideshow for doing basically everything but supplying the pcs. this was sideshows event, and its all thanks to him.

thanks to turbotabs for saving us from the hell we were in. without him i'd hve slept in a car again or something.

thanks to maks, nation, ingi, kaptain, haffi and kaja for not laughing at my dreadful driving.

i'm obviously grateful to everyone who went (fuck mike) and played. u were all amazing.

special shoutout to tek and flippy who is possibly at their last tf2 event, and who were throughout the weekend as fun as ever.

big thanks to turbotabs for sorting out houses and generally being the dad of the group

shoutout to our awesome production crew for dealing with the intense challenge head on and putting on a show in a 2m square box

I'm very appreciative of everybody who contributed, but special thanks to those two.

EDIT: Huge thanks to ondkaja for being such a good guy, wouldn't have made it without his PC, which I didn't log out of! Also, I upvote every post I make.

THIS IS LONG GOD DAMN IT SHIT so I might not get everybody specifically but thanks to each of the lads for being really cool with everything we do, as well as those of you who came by during the event/at the house to shake our hands and thank the production crew. Sorry for getting so close to your face when I had to take photos. You were a good chunk of why we did our best with the show.

Thank you Dashner for being my fellow Canadian partner-in-crime for production as always. Sorry about some of the copious amounts of BS you and David put up with for production, it's always awesome to see you stick through it all. Thanks as well for playing Super Mario, showing me the CS:GO finals, and taking part of the lightshows. Also thank you for taking care of Spencer, introducing me to nice cider, and saying my grilled cheese & eggs-in-a-basket didn't taste like crap.

Thank you tsc for enabling Dashner's stupid fucking last-minute ideas.

Thank you Airon for being our Berlin partner-in-crime for audio and teaching us all sorts of neat things, as well as being the most zen person I have ever met when everybody else is freaking out. Thanks as well for searching out the best possible food for us at the venue + offering some Swedish chocolate to me that I ended up buying and bringing back with me. I laughed when you ranted about who was doing the CS:GO caster mic mixing.

Thank you Andy for lending me all your cool lenses, as well as taking additional photos + video footage and being just generally awesome to work with. Thank you as well for explaining to me the shit about CS:GO I didn't understand, like why the hell chickens didn't fry if you threw flaming molotovs at them. You're a gigantic goof. I'd love to hang out again!

Thank you David for also being awesome to hang out with. It was inspiring watching you do your job which was basically turning around and flailing your arms at the casters before pointing furiously at your screen for big frags. Thank you as well for explaining to me what a bellend was. Also would love to hang out with you again, glad I got to know you more this event!

Thank you Admirable EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T FUCKING COME for manning Twitter and articles when I couldn't find any production PC's to work on, as well as being a sweet potato and sticking up for us when shit hit the fan. I'm glad you understood our situation, as well as carried my ass for social media when I had photos ready2go (even if I couldn't tell if they were colour edited properly or not).

Thank you to TurboTabs for helping literally carry some of production around like when Airon, Dashner and I had to drag around the equipment. You helped out a lot of us these past few days, like you lecturing me to not break anything in House 1 while looking exactly like a wacky inflatable arm flailing tube man. That was sweet, actually. I wouldn't mind you doing more Team Mom shit. What I'd love to see is you help out even more with logistics & production.

Thank you Sideshow for doing your best in the name of competitive. There was a side of you I saw this show that I understood too well - that side where a lot of shit rides on your shoulders. You did awesomely. There was no way I'd ever think that some dude I started watching on stream laughing at a rock in TF2 that looked like a penis, would be one of the coolest people I got to work with. Hope you liked the maple creme cookies & the eggs-in-a-basket.

Thank you as well to ESports United for doing the best you could within the circumstances. I'm glad to hear about interest for more DH events and it'd be an honour to be part of them again. Thank you for those of you who complimented the silly signs I made last minute, offered me awesome photos to contribute, and told me cool stories about what inspired you to do all this. Hope you guys like the maple creme cookies as well.

Thank you to Kaidus for putting up with me being a snail when we were trying to go anywhere. Thank you as well for leaving the stove on for me when I had to cook food. Congratulations to Reason Gaming for their win!

Thank you Heavy Weapons Guy cosplayer who was cool with me nerding out when you came by our table, as well as hugging my stuffed bear. Your costume was sick.

Thanks to everybody who stuck around and supported the production lads + player lads throughout this all. Despite all shortcomings and difficulties, this was an event I still feel honoured to be part of. I'm so glad to see everybody again for another production in the name of the uphill struggle that is Team Fortress 2, and I'm hoping it won't be my last nor theirs. I'll make sure to get photos properly colour corrected + up ASAP!

Bones for being the reliable travel agent and taxi driver as usual <3 as well as Airon, Dashner and Uberchain for being awesome travel and hotel buddies.
Huge shoutout to Sideshow who probably took years off his life (and his bank account) to run this event, it worked out well in the end even with every possible difficulty thrown your way. Same goes to TurboTabs, the Sam to Sideshow's Frodo.
Shoutout to esportunited for being awesome and really accommodating at the event, particularly Lasse who was always ready to help tweak the server however we needed it.
Kaiser for jumping in and doing an awesome job with the production side of things when he was needed.
Thanks to everyone who casted, Sideshow, TurboTabs, Kaidus, Maks, Beater, Stark (I think that's everyone?) sorry you had to do it off a laptop with a first gen i3 running integrated graphics at 800x600.
Everyone we chilled with in house 1 watching the CSGO finals on Saturday, such a chill night even if Condom and Haffi had to have a domestic in the middle of it
All the players, thanks for being so accommodating in less than ideal conditions. Hopefully it's one small sacrifice for a long term investment. Add to that everyone who showed up even just to watch.
Coleman, Dan and MattCV for showing up in the end even if it was only for 5 minutes, thanks for making the wait in the airport less boring along with TurboTabs, Maks, Kaidus, Perm and Flippy.
Arie and Admirable for the invaluable off-site help.
Probably missing a few names, sorry if it's you I love you really <3
