#20 FACEIT Tournament 11/18, Unofficial announcement in TF2 General Discussion

Isn't this announcement really late? I mean I'm not able to attend anyway, but it's a really short window to plan for for players and fans.

Nevertheless I'm sure it's gonna be awesome! It's just a shame that it starts at 4am/1am CET so I can't hype live :(
Never mind, I'll probably get out of the pub early on Saturday to catch a glimpse :D

#70 NA TF2 LAN at Esports Arena in January in LAN Discussion

800 Euro flight from Amsterdam :(

That said, if we could get a fundraiser going for some Brits and Swedes I'd be down.

Hype!

#82 Biannual iseries idea feat. NA in TF2 General Discussion

I think in the past Fundraising streams have been proven to make a difference.

The i49 Showmatches are still ingrained in my memory because it was a taste of what we could expect for that LAN in terms of the NA vs. EU matchup. I've donated to the JT fundraiser right after I saw them win the Aussie League, and to the TLR one during the fundraising stream. My point is: if you give the viewer/possible donator a chance to see the team in action and get to see some interaction with them (or even directly interacting with them via interviews with viewers' questions) there will be a lot more empathy and a bigger chance for donations.

Now if there were a number of streams dedicated to getting viewers to connect to the teams/players/scene in general throughout the year, it would create an opportunity for viewers to experience the above a number of times before each of the LANs. Steal some ideas from TotH and have pro players also do jumpmaps, surfmaps, Ultiduo, MGE tournaments, Bball matches etc. and ask them questions before, during, and after to let people connect with them. You can even let people bet money on these matches and give the winner a signed item, while taking the money to put in the pool.

Promote the streams on here and on Reddit/tumblr/whatever and tell people that they are donating for the pro scene in general. Try to make sure that players from every team (if possible) are in the stream. Give shit away for donators, set a goal we want to reach as an incentive, and give shoutouts to big donations. I'll never forget that ArieKanarie donated a boatload of money to the TLR fundraiser and Shitwizard donating to TotH because they made such a fuss about it at the time.

There were 2k viewers at the lowest point at i58, with most of the Americans still asleep. 3k in the afternoon. If - over the whole year - those 3000 people would donate $5 there'd already be $15.000. And that's not even wishful thinking. We just need to get the word out.

#44 Summer Reading in Off Topic

Wheel of Time series.
Started it a couple years back, but never got past part 9. Now I plan to reread the first couple books and if I still like them I'm going all the way through to 14.

#6 Looking for a new mouse in Hardware

I'm a Logitech fan myself. Currently have a g400s that's had no problems the last 2 years, next one is probably going to be a g402.

Used to have a Steelseries Ikari before this one, but it had the same problem as yours does after <1 year. After that I tend to avoid Steelseries, even though they have a good rep.

#39 how do I finesse this girl in Off Topic
smzithrowing in a really wild guess but why dont you ask her out??

What the hell dude, you can't just do that like a normal person! He should obviously get her to play TF2 and then buy her a $100,- ring with a "funny" description.

Seriously though if you're already hanging out casually and you're feeling something, just tell her you'd like to go for a walk/drive/drink/bite together sometime. It's not a big commitment like an actual dinner+movie, but it is a little alone time.

#7 ETF2L S24 W2: Comfortably Spanked vs. LEGO in Matches
BrenI wonder if teams get nervous with kaidus casting them, like a head teacher looking over his pupils taking an important exam.

I wonder if teams get nervous about a Bren cast... I mean if someone fucks up when you're on the mic, people across the pond will know that someone in ETF2L Prem just got smashed. Can't wait to see the synergy between you two though!
