YYYYAAAOOOOOO

shoutout to pappa john's

thanks to everyone involved. here's to a great final!

Great casting and production. Had a great day, see y'all tomorrow!

that was the prettiest tf2 i have ever watched. huge ups to lange/sharplessix/whoever fixed that up. HYPED FOR FINALS!!

All I did was donate pizza's

Those are some possessive as fuck pizzas.

If by work you mean watch TF2 all day.. I work real hard.

what has wreath done?

Distributed stv info, kept extv bot scores updated and did most of the twitch chat moderating

Thank you, crew.

shouts out to my mom

no for real though this community fucking owns and i'm damn proud to be part of it even if i've never even been in open. you guys are dabes

To be fair, I hardly did any work at all.

I am impossibly proud of everyone who put this production together. Thank you.

Everyone did wonderfully today. Tomorrow, we will do even better.

Lange did the most wonderful imo.

Hey, when will the VOD's be done?

I think what Lange managed to do with only xsplit is frankly amazing. Not s-ing any ds here but... bravo bud.

I can't really express it as well in a quickly paced cast as I can in a post, so~~~:

Lange put in 11 hours of stream work, combined with the full day prior he spent working on assets, setting up scenes, figuring out how to do random things in Xsplit, and putting on what is probably one of the best produced/best camera worked things TF2 has ever seen.

RK did an insane amount of work in getting us STV IPs, getting in touch with the big dudes at ESEA to get issues fixed as quickly and as best he could, keeping me informed on when matches would go live, even sometimes giving me some knowledge of who to watch.

Skyride/Comedian helped out a ton with getting the production set up, hooking Lange up with assets, the HUD, the roster videos and fact sheets, and letting us use the VanillaTV mumble.

SharplessSix did a bunch of work getting the assets in order and up to date, and was updating the bracket live throughout the day so that we didn't throw up tf2-bracket.jpg and show TBA TBA TBA under all of the matches.

TwitchTVJohn does everything.

Mocha was doing great work promoting things in our community like the newbie mixes and a bunch of competitive-related Steam Community groups, while running the TF.TV Twitter and the predictions contest.

Lamefx for posting about the LAN everywhere he possibly could, braving the deepest depths of the internet to deliver them the news that TF2 had a LAN and that it would be cool.

Wreath for moderating the stream and keeping the scores, the upcoming matches, the STV info, and prtty much everything up to date.

Seanbud for being there to cast the early matches where nobody wanted to be awake and for his fantastic work filling in and helping us kill time during the long breaks.

Sigma for showing up and giving the crowd a taste of the old MGE crew's casting, despite having real world obligations and social things to attend to.

Admirable for coming in and offending everyone but making the cast about a hundred times more interesting and funny.

Fog for buying us all pizza. When I get mine, I will put in a special note that they spell out "FOG" in pepperoni and take a picture.

Mr SLIN, Zbryan, Lansky, Seagull, and oPlaiD for the side streaming they did, especially to the first two for having something up when Lange was getting the STV bug.

Enigma for being the one who actually got this cast set up on ESEA Orange in the first place and keeping us in touch with the admins and making sure everything ran smoothly before he departed to go be the best scout at LAN.

Sal for making an appearance while being sick as a dog and putting aside the great casting rivalry of 2012 to help us out when I was on the verge of passing out in my chair.

Me and Cbear just kind of talk about video games and make bad jokes. We're glad that a bunch of people are willing to help us do that and make bad jokes alongside us. Long Live Watergate.

I'll give him a br0job for you tomorrow

all i've ever wanted was a shout out ;_;

but thank you guys for putting this together and allowing for one hell of a production considering all the STV errors, you guys are incredible and will always hold a special place in my cold icy heart

luv u all

except cbear

The vanillatv hud was a nice addition to this cast I'd have to say. Even with the technical difficulties, this year's LAN has went really well! Thank you and good job everyone!

the question is what hasn't she done.

Hearts and hugs and other assorted girly things to everyone who helped out. Tomorrow is gonna rock.

I wish I could properly accept the thanks being thrown out, but today's situation with the SourceTVs not getting posted, not being auto-assigned properly, not freaking staying up... it's a failure on our part at ESEA, and although they've (hopefully) been sorted out now, and were just in time for two really excellent TF2 matches today, it's still somewhat disappointing to be blind-sided by a pretty random issue of the main page not being refreshed properly.

My apologies to the Chess Club guys, who were the unfortunate victims of our issues and had both of their Granary stints go uncasted. I'm about 95% sure the STV recorded the matches at least, so those will be out post-LAN.

What I've learned in covering this, my 4th or 5th LAN, is that no matter how much pre-planning happens, something always comes up. Last LAN it was the STVs cutting off the last 2 minutes (which, thank god, has indeed finally been fixed), this time it was.. well, anyway.

I want to throw out a massive thank you to Killing, who was right there with me struggling to sort out those issues, and was just as much if not more a part of solving all that.

Best of luck to both teams tomorrow, should be a freaking fantastic Grand Final :)

Wreath really needs to calm down with all those bans. Someone get Cheeseburger_Apocalypse, BigBlunt420, or Tg_Pimp back as mods.

banned for putting slin's link on chat. gg.

i legit have no idea who did this and when lange tried to check the logs it didn't work. this wasn't what we wanted and it pissed all of us off that someone did it
