hey man i hope this finds you well
stopped myself from typing a snarky remark and instead decided to type this instead because i ultimately found this video super disappointing and ultimately just unnecessary and mean for the sake of farming clicks and there is some part of me that wants to actually discuss this over just trying to farm a few upfrags
i assume this isnt your intention at all and also probably assume you couldnt give less of a fuck about my opinion but you also did post this to a public forum so mb in advance
i have watched your videos in the past and found them all relatively funny. i think mostly they serve as very nice summaries of storylines for a more casual viewer who maybe doesnt tune in to all the games but still vaguely follows along the scene. because of this your videos focusing in on b4nny and froyotech makes sense.
while i do think that making a video poking fun at froyo for not being able to go to lan is in pretty poor taste i can still see the appeal. i think most of that part of the video is fine
i just find the rest of the video so incredibly reductive and dismissive of what happened at poland its honestly quite offensive. It comes off as a mean spirited banny sub who didnt actually watch a second of the lan but who felt the need to cover it anyway for the sake of a storyline that was already wrapped up before lan even started.
i understand that this video is from the perspective of a fan who (clearly) only really engages with na tf2. thats fine. i also barely engage with na tf2 when eu isnt involved. but then why mention it at all?
plenty of funny events happened at lan. the entire time condawg was on screen, either live or offline, he was farming clips. the casters had their moments too both on and off the desk. instead you choose to include 2 clips that clearly aim to just poke fun at the talent. why?
the story of mandems redemption arc is one of the most compelling i think the game has ever seen. i hope we did a good job of telling this story on broadcast but to see the video literally denote their entire lan into 2 seconds of “oh ye they won btw” after white lotus got knocked out ragebaited me into writing this giant ass essay.
None of this is covered. at all. Instead you choose to include a few clips of white lotus not losing and a clip of lolguy being mad at casters. Why?
Why does this video actually exist? What do you want from it? Its not celebratory at all, i guess it might make some people laugh? Why then not include some actually funny clips of the lan? Is the video trying to tell the story of polan? Why do you then proceed to ignore literally all of the lan? I know i am not the target audience at all but compared to your other work this video just falls so flat and feels like you forced yourself to make it about an event you ultimately just couldnt care less about.
peace and love

Personally i enjoyed the video and hope to see more like it. You don't owe us anything hellraizers2 when it comes to your own videos and there nothing wrong with those who enjoyed it too.
I think we can all afford to laugh at ourselves sometimes, i certainly say my share of shit over the years.
