#6 ESA Rewind Feedback in LAN Discussion

I'd like to add a few subjective pluses.
1. Looser feeling around commentary. See: https://clips.twitch.tv/esportsarena/StrangeOryxPanicBasket
Loved the occasional little jokes as long as they didn't interfere with commentary at all (like when the reverb came back while Truktruk was in the middle of trying to describe something). I think the occasional bouts of caster bias could be categorized under this as well; so long as they're not shouting angrily when something bad happens to their team I don't see a problem with casters making their opinions clear. It's endearing and makes them feel more like people, which in turn makes the stream more fun. Soccer commentators have gone far beyond what I think is acceptable but it fuckin worked for them

2. Quick fixes to the hud when things went wrong. Obviously it'd be better if things didn't go wrong at all but that's incredibly difficult to achieve when everything is by a 3rd party. I remember sometimes during in-season matches the clock would go out of sync due to a pause but the cameraman preferred to let the clock be wrong for a few minutes rather than let the audience see the console while he takes a second to hud_reloadscheme, but here, everything that went wrong got fixed within a few seconds. I was impressed.

There were a few negatives as well, but the main one for me was the quality of the camerawork itself. I think Tino did everything humanly possible for one person to bring us the best viewpoint, but there was still a lot of good moments that were completely missed. Add one or two people onto the camera crew and I don't see why those issues can't be completely fixed. I'm also assuming LAN STV works the same as online STV? If there are several minutes of delay between the actual action and it getting replayed on STV, I don't see why we would ever have to miss a good moment.

All in all the stream quality was really high compared to the last few LANs I've seen. Few delays, excellent interviews, actual analysis (the desk at i58 should have been renamed to the meme desk), and I'm sure the team view during the matches was a positive. Good stuff.

#12 Favorite custom maps in Map Discussion

There was a new maps pug group in NA a few months back but they stopped. Tough to get people interested every week, I guess.

#17 Rewind low view numbers in LAN Discussion
BilbertzeFrostypeople are way more likely to tune in if they already follow the channel so having it hosted on tftv's stream is always going to have more viewers. people that used to play might hop in and watch if they see it on their side bar but most dont go out of their way to check there is an international LAN on right now.I thought teamfortresstv was hosting esportsarena.

I doubt that has a major influence though. I know I ignore everything in the host section unless I'm pretty much out of anything else to do.

#119 Rewind meme thread in TF2 General Discussion
SetsulIf you are surprised by Se7en playing 7v6 I've got news for you son.

I don't really get why there's a problem with Kaidus coaching them in between games. I was definitely put off when he was actively maincalling for them, but just telling them what they did wrong seems totally reasonable.

Ieesure you could white knight him or instead you could expect better from the production of one of the biggest lans in the games history ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only way to really solve these problems is to have multiple people on staff. You would need multiple people working the cameras with a director picking the best POV for the moment, and for obvious reasons that's not possible for TF2 right now. After doing nothing else for hours on end, Tino is doing a good enough job to deserve a fukn handjob.

alternatively give the job to autodirector so there's no one to complain at
