Shout out to the maker of that cake....my other half! :D
On a more serious note though, do we have any confirmation from US / Aus team as of yet?

According to the seat picker, looks like most of us are trying to get seats on the Lower Ground Floor.

I'd go, but it would be way too expensive for me. GXL makes much more sense.
Will be watching from home though. Hope everyone has fun, and hopefully I can make it to one of these LANs! :D

cage-is VTV covering this? i assume so
We're still unsure if coverage will be flying under the VTV or TF.TV banner, but it will be covered. Arie, Bones, Dashner, and myself had our first production meeting yesterday. Byte, Arx, and Beta are also helping with the planning. Beta will unfortunately not be at i52 though.

Getting ahead of things here...but oh well....
I'm warming to the idea of doing it on the tf.tv stream. We'll probably be shutting down both VTF2 and VTV after i52 anyway, so kinda silly to have people watch a stream that won't be back.
Now I am rather fond of the VTV assets, the HUD, the scoreboard, overlays, the bird and such, so would love to see that again for the i52 stream, especially as its swan song.
Things were looking quite grim a few weeks ago. Taking stock of what we could bring for i52, both in people and resources, we were quite sure we couldn't put on anything like the i49 show. After reaching out to tf.tv EU to see if they'd might want to run it instead, it turned it out they were in no position to do it either.
The recent preliminary meeting has me in a positive mood though. We're looking good in terms of gear, OK-ish on casters, OK-ish on number of production crew. I mean we're asking 2 Americans to fly over just so we have enough people that know how to computer, that's how desperate EU casting situation seems to be atm.
Also, it would be nice to find people for:
- Basic photoshopping for the overlay images. Nothing fancy, just changing caster photos and team names. That kind of stuff. Might not even have to be on site to do that. Anything random we might need on stream on short notice.
- On-screen talent. Bonus points if you know the game, can look in a camera and ask good short questions. (I <3 you byte, but look in the goddamn camera)

From a "good-of-the-community" viewpoint it would be wiser to run it on the TFTV stream to reach out to more viewers; VTV is mainly a European broadcasting organisation, while TFTV is more internationalised. TFTV has way more followers and viewers so their brand is more popular. The HUDs and the assets are really good, but you can't really have all the VTV assets on a TFTV stream, it's going to be time to let some of it go, sadly.
I think ideally you somehow work it out so it's branded mainly TFTV, but you can certainly have vtv as a "casting partner" or something like that before you put the brand to bed fully.
Ariethat's how desperate EU casting situation seems to be atm.
Guess it's meant to be, Admirable. Go out there and cast some games! It's what you are destined to do! Now go, and fulfill thy regal quest!
Edit: that's not to say the situation has to be desperate, just that there's no way you can refuse now.. let's make sure we're not sending the wrong message here

I have to respectfully disagree. I understand that you're quite attached to them but the TFTV hud looks much cleaner and doesn't take up as much screen real estate.

Because changing the size of a hud is literally the most difficult thing to do.

There's more to assets than a HUD, but you are right about the HUD part.

Yeah, but it would look strange imo to have the VTV overlay mixed with the TFTV hud. Unless you just had the bird up in the corner with the TFTV frisbee as a cosponsor.
