Shoutout to all the casters we had on throughout the season. We've watched a lot of casters leave the scene, so it's fantastic that there are still people dedicated to putting out casts with a high level of quality and professionalism. Obviously these casts wouldn't happen without them, so I appreciate everyone who volunteered their time, weather they did 50 casts this season or just 1.
Shoutout to all the producers who do so much work that people don't even realize. The new producers we brought on were awesome to work with, and often saved casts by producing when there was no one else to do it. The old producers who stuck around are just as appreciated, working with the new guys and doing all the dirty work that everyone else is too dumb to do. (specifically me)
Shoutout to all the annalists we had on throughout playoffs, always my favorite part in a cast because I learn so much and I get a break from talking :)
Shoutout to the writers who came in during the later half of the season and made our match pages interesting again. They just started writing those on their own, so I was pleasantly surprised when I realized we were going to have sick descriptions for the rest of the season.
Shoutout to TurboTabs who helped with organizing from across the pond. As much as I despise trello, most of what Turbo did saved me a lot of headache with organizing, and he was always good at getting back to me despite the timezone change.
Shoutout to all the others in tftv who contributed in one way or another. Moderating in twitch chat, putting up twitter notifications, and giving feedback are all small roles that don't get much appreciation but add up very quickly.
Shoutout to Saam for A: killing it for 7 hours on the grand finals last night and B: being a huge behind the scenes force in ensuring everything ran smoothly. Saam helped with the little things like answering all my invite related questions and working with the players to figure out what was going on, but also in a lot of big was such as doing a fuck ton of work to make the new map cup happened (Which wasn't technically part of our S24 coverage but oh well) and convincing annalists to come on stream for our playoff coverage.
Shoutout to the players that we casted this season, specifically the ones who were in constant contact with me confirming match times and rosters before casts. I'm sure all of them hated my constant confirmations by the end of the season, but they were always very easy to work with regardless.
Finally shoutout to the community. None of this would matter if there weren't people watching the streams, playing in leagues, talking on the forums, and generally caring about the game. People say the community is toxic (they say every community is toxic) but I disagree. You all rock.
See ya next season <3
