From South American scene to TF.tv casting team

54 Frags +

Hello
We down here in South America are trying to revamp our scene after a really big hit it took from DDOSers last year and then lack of people capable and with enough will to organize leagues and events.
One of the things we are doing is streaming matches of the FBTF Cup that is happening right now, some of you must have seen the Esquilado Live stream on the side bar this last month.

The problem is: next week (probably Sunday) we will have the Grand Finals and we, right now, count with 3 people capable of streaming: one of them will be playing the match, the other one will be out of town and the last one (which would be me) will be out of the country.

Would the tf.tv team cast the highest division match? I won't promiss the skill level will be as high as an invite or prem match, as we, as a community, are in a rebuilding stage, but it would be really great for us to have a match casted here.

If I get an yes as an answer, I'll do everything I can to organize this match so the cast can go as smooth as possible.

Thanks.

PS.: Powah is in one of the teams and he may even play the match!

Our default match time is always 10PM ( Brazil Standard Time Zone ),It's like -3 Hours EST... But we haven't scheduled our match yet .
It's kinda hard make something happen here, We don't have any sponsors like Zowie or Lans. We have a lot of LoL , Dota , Cs teams and they have sponsors, but no one cares about TF2. We are a small community trying to have fun but we need some incentive, something to play for, like a little amount of money idk, even TF2 items or ESEA. We have tried to use the ESEA system but our "ESEA STAFF" was an asshole and nobody wanted to pay more.

If you guys could help us, it will be AWEEESOOOMEEE and maybe ( MAYBE ) someday everyone will se a SA team playing in the i-series =)

Thx guys!

Srry for the bad english idk O.O

It'd be really good if Kaneco could do a Portuguese language cast. Not trying to create work for anyone but it'd be nice to be able to encourage some more Brazilian players with a cast they can fully engage with.

I believe something like that could be arranged. We ( portuguese community ) used to do some casts for our teams. It was a lot of fun since we are a small community and everybody knows each other and it turned some "interesting" casts :p

The only problem I see besides getting casters/streamer would be the timezone since its like 3hour difference from us

That time slot might be open for me. If needed I might be able to help out. Send me a note if you still do need a streamer.

Doing a Portugese cast will be a nice gesture towards Brazilian community. However, that leaves 95% of other players without a cast they can understand, so maybe implement them both (if there are enough resources)?

As a brazilian player i think an english cast from tf.tv would be better than a portuguese; most of our players are used to english cast already and the south american scene would enjoy to have people from other places watching it.
Someone cast this please!

If someone can give this guys a hand we will all really appreciate it. They've been working really hard to make the scene back to what it was, and it's amazing how much time they've put into this game.

Get behind AndKenneth guys! Having watched a his stream a few times and in my opinion he's a decent streamer. If he's willing to stay up late (or get up early) to do it then good on him!

1am I think.

I have no problems with that, could even do it through comp.tf, but if they're reaching out to tf.tv that's not what they're looking for probably.

Having followed the main br community stream for the past few weeks it looks like they're really committed to making it work, so have their big match of the season featured on the "big screen" of tf.tv could be the push they needed

1 Am is still good not doing anything the day after.

I think a portugese cast is a great idea and you should do it anyway kaneco. just have an english one on tftv and a portugese one on comptf. then at least some coverage will be made if tftv cant get their stuff together.

Thanks for the great feedback everyone!

@Kaneco
Going with an international cast, we would rather have one in english so we can get a little of international attention for our small scene, but if you want to do a side cast with comp.tf, I'll gladly give you everything you need to make it possible.

@renxzen
I was thinking about that. I even would want to be that guy, but I won't be avaiable. But if the casting team agrees, I will find someone who knows the teams to do it!

Again, thanks everyone for the feedback. After seeing all this interest in doing the cast from many different people, I'll look calmly at it when I get home.
