Please don't take this as instant negativity, but aren't you guys pretty much gonna be covering the same games as TFTV, BlackOutGaming or VTV, but with less knowledgeable and known casters and less of an existing audience?

I would definitely say that if you spot a gap on a night then go for it, but what I'd really like to see is you covering the odd little things that don't get big coverage: div1/2/3 games if there are prem games on the same night; grudge matches in any division; tie-breakers in div2-6 etc etc. Exciting games if given the right context, but overlooked by everyone else. I fear that if you try to "compete" with TFTV or BO you'll end up being swallowed, that's all. And that would be a terrible thing.

Also, awesome tournament idea!

Due to unforeseen bbqs (bloody family feeding me quality meat for free) I can't cover the 20cet game. I should be back for 21cet but we will be minus Ipz as well. I'll grab some scrubs like perm and ally and we'll do our best! Apologies!

lol drama

same time saturday if iM are playing, ipz to cast

Almost definitely yes. There just isn't a way around it, you have to be loud enough for the audience to hear above the chanting, and there are no sound-proof booths. I think it adds a bit of atmosphere, makes it very different to an online cast.

Yeah I just gotta exec cast before I join the server :D
No shenanigans tonight, should be more professional. But still decidedly unprofessional.

Changed bitrate to 1800; resolution to 1024x576; fps to 45; and cpu preset to fast in order to try and increase the bitrate and quality without having Virgin Media rape my asshole.

Kaidus will be replaced at 21cet by Mike, so you get AwS and Epsilon analysis tonight guys.

TF2 people are so nice. Even when they try to be cutthroat they just can't.

sorry for double but nobody posting :<

Lange and Admirable for the grand finals and I will jizz.

After CX and ipz did an amazing job and casted the first scrims of iM after they landed in the UK, it has inspired me to do a bit of work for the community and continue casting all their scrims this side of the world.

This will be from now until i52 hopefully, and will feature a wide variety of casters all casually chatting about i52, teams, predictions and the games.

I am covering iM rather than any other team because they’re the “unknowns” in this tournament having come over from Aussieland and none of them can really stream pcws since they’re at an e-cafe. Hopefully someone from AwS and Epsilon will stream their POVs most nights.
