There's no reason to worry about another i49 coverage war clusterfuck. That was the result of 2 overambitious/vindictive people that no longer seem to be an active part of TF2 coverage. VTV is in hibernation or dead and there's no animosity at all. In fact, tf.tv EU is now using VTV's resources in their casts. Relays, live stats, streamer 20 second cheat feed and atmo's on screen graphics.

I think we set the bar pretty high at i49 and I'll gladly be part of any effort to raise it even higher at i52, preferbly with the same international team presence.

Added to all servers. :)

AFAIK source server only binds to 1 port for players, so you can't connect to different ones.

• Added a button to reset the "idle reservation timer". Useful for lobbies that take a while to start.
  
• Automatically end reservations that go from occupied to empty after 30 minutes

^_^

Can't wait for the semi-final vod, that was a crazy comeback

Done!

Done!

Suffering some DDoSes, luckily nothing very extreme.

I built a system for live stats for matches based on logaddress. All EU teams have been very helpful with running the command to enable them, or even giving the rcon so we can do it ourselves.
You rightly say that these stats aren't delayed, so my system automatically delays them 90 seconds so they sync up with STV.
There's even a feed for the streamer that has 70 seconds delay, so that the streamer can catch every uber drop, headshot and backstab.
If I recall correctly, using logaddress on a relay doesn't get you the logs of the match being relayed.

Gratz on the new release TF2Pickup team! It's good for TF2Center to have some competition again and I really like that you're trying to get a higher skill level in your games.

I had a thread about the North American system a while back, but thought one about serveme.tf in general would be nice to keep you all up to date.

So if you haven't tried using serveme.tf yet and you're from North America, go to na.serveme.tf. There are 9 free servers to use and 1 just for donators. All of them are provided by tragicservers.com, that sponsorship is the reason there is a North American system at all, so I'm very grateful.
If you're from Europe you can go to serveme.tf. There are 19 free servers and 28 just for donators. All of those servers are provided by community members with spare capacity on their dedicated servers.

All of the servers in the system have these maps installed and available for fast download. I think most, if not all league configs are installed (miss any configs or maps? leave a comment).

You can use these servers for basically anything except pub/mvm. So practicing rollouts, mixes, lobbies, scrims, officials, tournaments and even ZOWIE invitational cups

So here's what's special about serveme.tf:
- Free to use (source code is free as well)
- Many locations, so you'll always find a good ping
- Automatic zip with the logs and STV demos of your reservation

I'd love to hear any comments and suggestions you might have to improve the system.

Check the spec for logs.tf that was implemented by AnAkIn (tftrue) and F2 for your answer: https://github.com/zooob/logstf-spec/tree/master

It's the time until first heal after spawn

Thanks for 5 great years etf2l. Rip in pieces.

Even though the monitor accepts a 75Hz refresh rate, it's probably updating the screen only 60 times per second, which would lead to the problems you're describing.

I was the streamer for VanillaTV, my connection to the Twitch ingest server died twice. I was still on Mumble and in-game so must have been something between me and Twitch Frankfurt. Will have to try another ingest next cast I guess.

As seen on (Vanilla)TV at i49 :P
