Hey gamers,

teamfortress.tv is once again looking for dedicated people to join us in our quest to be the best content creator for competitive TF2.

First and foremost, we are looking to add to our award-winning production staff for both NA and EU in order to help bring live content to the community via Twitch, ranging from weekly ESEA Invite and ETF2L Premiership games to occasional marathon events like Razer tournaments and invitationals. For this, we'll need casters and analysts (with good insight) and streamers (with good availability).

We are also looking to further expand our rapidly evolving news section. Writers at teamfortress.tv are responsible for breaking the latest roster shakeups, reporting on the skirmishes between top teams, hyping up announcements and other events, and more.

If you are interested in any of these roles, please check out the detailed info below and let me know. If you don't feel you fit these but think you have something else cool to offer us, be sure to contact me anyway and we'll figure out where you can fit in.

Thanks,
tsc, on behalf of the teamfortress.tv staff

they're just off-topic posts that derail the conversation from the get go. it's my mistake for not clarifying the reason for the nukes earlier, but hopefully this will serve as sufficient notice.

I've offered a couple times but I guess I can again.

I used to, and can again, stream and cast. My internet can handle 720p, I know how to use OBS and NodeCG (and program for nodecg) and have the game knowledge necessary to handle camera. Casting I also have the knowledge for and work better as an analyst caster. I am also not playing this season (rip team) and have the time.

I'd be willing to help.

I'd be interested in streaming but I'm down to help in any way I can! I don't have much experience though, so that might be a problem :(

Contact me if you need help with literally anything, I'm down to tryhard.

I would love to get into casting but I dunno if I have enough knowledge about the game. I was a casting admin for maincall.tf when we were actively streaming and I did some practice casts which had good feedback but never felt ready to do it live.

Alternatively I could do some writing. I follow news on tf.tv and etf2l as well as forum posts pretty much everyday and I've written statements and internal documentation for TF2stadium as well as other orgs outside of TF2.

Anyway I've rambled on enough I'll add you on steam when my computer's USB ports stop exploding.

I can certainly watch matches and do writeups if the community doesn't mind a new voice. I live in Hawaii, so I have some kind of advantage where I'm staying up far later than the NA scene and far earlier than the EU. I also have been following most of the competitive scene since around Quantic and Mihaly's Flow. I have decent grammar and I like to do research, fact-check/proof read all of my work and posts (for the most part).

I'm also a college student so I'm sarcastic, bitter, and have a hatred of the oxford comma that can only be satiated with terrible jokes, and tasteless humor. I can work on articles at odd hours if I'm asked to do a writeup on something in particular. I'm not particularly tied to any scene either, since I'm playing in sandbag and drop UGC this season so I haven't got much bias and think all the leagues, locally and internationally, are equally horrible. I also don't mind tracking down players for interviews if they don't immediately decline comment. If I wasn't playing UGC on Wednesday nights, and had prior casting experience, I wouldn't mind casting/camerawork either.

I'm on the TF.TV discord or on steam usually even if I don't really say very much very frequently, so if I'm at all suitable, you can raise my hopes up a little there before crushing them when I remember that most of the time, ESEA matches get delayed for weeks.

We're looking for an EU video editor to help with the highlight videos you'll have seen uploaded. We'd want you to have the time to edit and upload around 2 of them a week within a day or so of the game itself.

This thread is still stickied in the TF2 General Discussion forum, so I'm hoping it's still relevant.

My name's Cornpop, I've been casting low level competitive TF2 for a little over a year. You can find almost every cast I've ever done on my YouTube channel (the Iron Highlander stuff from last year is pretty bad though, you should probably stick with the recent stuff).

Recently I've been casting season 22 of ESEA Open and I've gotten a lot of support here on the forums, mostly in this thread and scattered around in the Open happenings thread. As much as I'd love to cast Open again, I think it'd be really cool to be able to cast with you guys next season on TeamFortress.tv. I think a lot of the problems with my casts are my lack of resources, like not being able to stream on Twitch, having to cast solo, and having to control the camera at the same time as I try to focus on commentating.

Anyways, that's pretty much me. Please add me on steam or email me (jessesseej@gmail.com) if you think I'd be a good fit, or wanna talk any more.

After being thrown to the wolves at the beginning of last season it would be foolish of us to not utilize all the people that want to cast and produce content for S23. I'm currently trying to set up something for the people that want to get in on the action. I'll get in contact with you guys in a few weeks. It'll likely be after Tip of the Hats.

I have a decently powerful computer and internet. My internet speed is 100Mbps/30Mbps depending on where I'm staying (parents are divorced) and I can meet the 60fps 720p 3500Kbps streaming requirement. I've been (albeit very shittily) casting open games the past season and would love to be able to do production/camerawork as being able to help the TF.TV team in any way would be both incredibly cool and a learning experience!
Edit: I'm available all weekdays from around 2:30EST on, so ETF2L games may be possible as well as of course ESEA games
