Ever since 2012, it has always been tradition for the TF2 community to have the best teams in the world gather in England every summer to compete for guts and glory. This year's Insomnia 58 is no exception, with teams from North America, Europe and even Australia making their way to Birmingham to battle for the title of the best team in the world. With such a hyped up event coming, we are proud to announce the Insomnia 58 Broadcast Crew Powered by marketplace.tf!

Our lineup of casters include a plethora of familiar European faces, including Bren, TurboTabs, Samski and Maks. North America will also have some representation, with Dreamboat making his first appearance at an international event. And last but not least, it’s the best news we’ve brought to you ever since matchmaking was revealed: the one & only Sideshow! Because you never truly leave TF2.

We’ll also be having an analyst desk for the first time at an I-series event with veteran caster Getawhale leading our desk of experts. Speaking of experts, they’ll be none other than Admirable, WARHURYEAH, and CommanderX, along with a sleuth of special guests as they breakdown the matches to your desktop. Rounding out the broadcast team will be DavidTheWin & ondkaja as the in-game observers, and our stage host/meatball chef eXtine! Europe is about to get a big heaping of YYYAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Insomnia 58 will be taking place from August 26th to August 28th in Birmingham, England as the best teams in the world will fight for the title of World Champions!

I really don't know how to feel about how far Bren has come so quickly, what started out as a simple joke... "You should cast if you like your own voice so much" actually became reality. Seeing twitch chat go crazy about this guy I've just fucked around in games with for almost 2 years is crazy man.

Whether it's because casters are in short supply, or if you guys genuinely love "Mr Hype" himself, it's just crazy thinking about how renowned he has become so quickly.

I just hope none of you guys are gonna come up for autographs or any shit because I don't know how I'm gonna deal with that lmfao.

The great thing about tf2 celebs is that we're just unimportant enough to where we have to behave like normals

I like how everyone is looking super on point, headphones on fleek. This is starting to look amazing.

Then you got dreamboat staring into your soul.

First time I remember him casting was when he replaced Hafficool after Hafficool refused to say more than two words at a time. That was an interesting cast.
