A nice cold glass of water to keep you going.

Staff know as much as you guys atm :/

Sorry to the Ora boys i shouted at at the end of the cast, don't hate me :(

That it would've affected communication with the stage, the host microphone audio and the crowd microphone audio were split into two lines so that we wouldn't feed crowd audio back to the stage PA system, it's possible that they decided to use that secondary line to send our comms back to the stage but I'd be very surprised since most of the communication the stage used was wireless, but if it is true then it's very disappointing that they didn't take communication into account since we made such a big deal about it after Copenhagen had pretty decent links between the TF2 production area and the CSGO stage production area. Hopefully we'll get a chance to go over these things and maybe we'll get answers then but it's a shame that crowd audio is still being overlooked by the stage crew like it was at i61.

I don't want to say too much before we've had a chance to debrief as staff and as contractors with insomnia but a crowd mic was promised to us and supposedly set up however it was taken away from us building up to the final without a satisfying reason given to me, as head of production. Needless to say I was very disappointed when my audio staff told me this as I know very well that it's an important aspect of having a stage final. Thank you so much for the feedback though we can use every little detail to improve things in the future <3

Thanks for the feedback! We've had the newspost pinned now, a tad late I understand but it's something I'll bear in mind next time we have something like this going to have separate threads for events and fundraisers to maximize reach.

We've had word from Player1/Belong that they're working on a solution for people arriving after check in for the final so you shouldn't need to sort out any wristband swaps or anything, but it doesn't hurt to have one just in case :)

I'm sorry you consider the fundraiser to be poorly promoted, It's a shame because a lot of work has been put into this by myself, Uberchain, soda and the rest of the content team. You say there isn't an official thread: here's the newspost for it which I've tried to keep bumped and up to date, I've also regularly been keeping the official i65 thread updated with news of the event and the fundraiser, we've had nearly daily tweets, had a stream promoting it and it even got a mention on the official Team Fortress blog. So I'm not really sure what more we can do.

We've had a setback in having to cut at least a portion of the fundraiser short so we can give Belong the money for the fundraiser as I know keeping it open as long as possible will help, we're working on making sure we can at least keep raising money for Ascent past the deadline this Friday, as always keep your eyes peeled on the official thread or our Twitter for news on this
