I've spoken to several of the teams but haven't been able to message everyone, for TFTV we're trying to start casting 2 matches each night we start up the stream, a 10:30 EST and an 11:30 EST match, so teams have an opportunity to scrim a bit beforehand.

I've been trying to ask teams to schedule matches at certain times if they can, but sometimes it's been a struggle going back and forth between teams ironing out the details.

By default if teams could try to schedule at those two times it'd be a big help, and also I ask that if we contact you about switching a match time you be willing to do it unless of course circumstances with players not being available at a certain time, etc come into play.

We have a lot of casting talent for TFTV right now, with Buick, Mr Slin, Bloodsire, and truktruk. It'd be a shame to put it to waste and be able to maybe only do a couple matches a week with only 1 game a night. The viewer #'s have been increasing a fair amount since i55 and with MM on the horizon it's an important time to keep producing content.

Thanks.

Jon just knows he'll get people talking. Whoever uploaded a pastebin of this from GG and then whoever from GG sent it to someone not on the team is not thinking, dumb, dumb move

lol cmon its been at 12 for days, let's at least get 16 to fill a bracket

I demand public hanging of all those who've posted about hating esea but aren't playing in this tourney

I really think the spread has to go, this season has been so random and close just stop using it unless its like top 2 seeded vs bottom 2 seeded or something

Team stickers would be sick without a doubt but we need worldwide more than 4 sponsors and 6 relevant teams that will stop changing their rosters constantly first lol

You guys should really put out a new saloon.tf trailer to show that its actually been released and works, the one that came out was released nearly a year before the site was even able to be used lol. Or just reupload the one huhy already made somewhere.

Yomies vs TSU
Woodpig vs Getawhale
GBSP vs Mad Lux
TSU vs Ascent
Meat market vs Ascent (only game on sunday)

Would all be good games to cast

Somewhere on these match pages it should show the rosters of the teams

froyotech vs wood squad
yomies vs ascent
street hoops vs suicide pact
suicide pact vs meat market
wood squad vs street hoops
ascent vs froyo

honestly just about every match this week is a pretty exciting match, mostly due to the fact this season has a lot of teams that could be really close. I hope there can be as many casts as possible, continue all the i55 hype etc etc etc comp tf2 etc

[Pre-i55 Hype Video] Team Ascent

or something like that idk

these videos are really cool but I think you need to change the titles, kinda misleading for people who don't read the description

I think it'd be possible and fun to have a good A/D map in which the elements of 5cp that you mention come into play as well as an element of preparation and set strats, the ability to use other classes etc to outplay the other team as well.

The map pool is fine as it is but changing granary to the pro version should definitely happen.

Also I have to say I think it would be really great to try to incorporate some good attack defend maps if any mapper would ever be willing to give it a shot.

- A/D provides comp tf2 something that it really doesn't have at all, that being prepared strats. There really is no opportunity right now for a lesser team in individual DM/skill to ever upset a better team through preparing with some new strategies or new ways to play a map to outplay an "on paper" better team.
- A/D provides without question some really exciting matches just from the nature of the gamemode, forcing people to push etc. Not to mention new strategies are cool to see in action.
- Valve will surely include A/D maybe even payload in MM, payload really wouldn't work but A/d could if good maps were made. With the steam workshop any good maps we like to play could become popular enough that valve would definitely put them into a contract mission or something like that officially adding them to the game.
- It's way easier of a game mode to understand to people that aren't extremely familiar with how 5cp/comp tf2 works as an outside viewer on twitch.

It doesn't necessarily have to be in the gpit style of A/D with multiple points it could be the dustbowl style of it as well, would just be fun to try and it has always been really fun to watch. It would add the ability for teams to use different strategies with other classes and potential for worse on paper teams to beat "better" teams with research and preparation.

If you're posting about how we need to leave esea to find new options and you aren't playing in these tournaments you need to shut up forever
