Hey guys. It's been a busy week in TF2, and I think our reporting of the week has been pretty stellar. With LAN, ESEA S15 wrapped up. Along with that, CEVO has made some announcements that are pretty important for their upcoming season. Those things, and some casual topics were covered over three videos this week.

LAN Talk w/ Decimate and Sezco: http://www.twitch.tv/specast/c/3611626
Brief CEVO Talk w/ Lange: http://www.twitch.tv/specast/c/3605367

bonus LiT banter http://www.twitch.tv/specast/c/3605617

The support for the show has been phenomenal so far, and Stapler and I really appreciate it. The vods may load slowly if more than a few people watch at once, but twitch/youtube integration has been broken recently. We'll get them up to a more reliable host soon.

This is a new show to talk about NA competitive TF2, mainly 6s but a bit of hl as well. We plan to have one major episode a week with several smaller interview and Q/A sessions spread throughout the rest of each week.

I'm from the USA. I've been keeping up with comp tf2 for a while now, and I (along with many others) really miss the Fully Charged-style competitive wrap-up show. We had our first episode yesterday and it went decent, considering it was a first episode. We have a few guests lined up for the next week or so.

I understand that this isn't the normal kind of thing that gets requested on this site, but we'd love your consideration in adding us to the sidebar.

Thanks!

okay i feel pretty good for tracking all 5 balls.

am i an esport professional now?

Yeah if I ever get to the point where I am experiencing pain from a video game I generally stop. In one of my charity things (which I played for 24 hours) it started hurting around hour 18. I stood up, did some stretches (body, hands, arms, etc), and the pain mostly went away.

If you're experiencing pain from playing video games for any less than 6-7 hours straight you may have something wrong with your wrists that you should get checked out. If you play more than 7 hours straight... consider taking breaks.

waht am i watching um

Bump, still looking but in any league honestly. preferably cevo open, would also play in esea open or ugc.

I'm chill, down for offclassing to sniper if needed, up for demo reviews, etc.

I didn't take many pictures. I did take this one, though. For some reason this was posted in the men's restroom.

i wanted to run around the venue and pull all of that plastic stuff off the new monitors

Yeah, the goal is to have one guest every episode. The first episode we didn't have one just to make sure everything worked out, but expect a guest next time around!

Hello and what's up tftv? KevinIsPwn here bringing in the new year a bit late with the start up of a new podcast for 6s events from iron to invite. We'll be dishing up what you, as a spectator of competitive tf2, need to know! It's a shame that Fully Charged NA has gone on such a long hiatus, and I think it has left a gap in many peoples' hearts that is dying to be filled. While we may never reach it, our goal is to provide content of that sort of quality. I'm going to be the show's main host, and "The Wounded Stapler" will be tagging along to make sure everything is clear to new players, and he will be providing some entertainment. We'll see how this first show goes, preshow starts about 20 minutes after this post.

Here's how the show is going to work:
There is a very basic set of show notes for each episode.
The episodes will have one major story and several minor stories to go with it.
I will explain the story, Stapler will give his newly formulating opinions on it, and we'll talk about it.
After all the stories are finished, we will have a cat-in-the-tree type story where we talk about something interesting that is happening in the community or anywhere in the world of gaming.
At the end of each show there will be some sort of giveaway.

rr was the chillest player i experienced at lan. that may have been the tired... but yeah.

timestamp PLEASE

Hey harb. Sorry if I misheard you or your voice. I was pretty sure I heard it from across the venue, sure enough to post about it, but I believe you when you say you didn't.

Mix^ had a great lan, congrats on the win and sorry.

I get that m^ won, and I get that trash talk is a thing that happens. I just thought it was a bit much, that it went a bit too far.

If your strategy to win is screaming "N****R" across the venue, I don't like your strategy.

necro edit for censoring a word that i had/have no business writing out

mix^ yelled and talked more shit than the cs players. good on them for winning and everything, but harb calling people slurs at the top of his lungs was not a high point for tf2.

edit: this post was wrong. it wasn't harb that yelled that out my bad.
