Since I have been watching, B4nny, Clockwork, Stark and Mike and maybe even Kaidus standout.

But it's difficult because how do we quantify best? B4nny is top level on 3 classes, though you can debate whether he is best at any one (demo quite possibly). Clockwork and Mike are pretty much one class specialists (although CW could snipe brilliantly). Better than B4nny probably on those classes, but he can play three classes. Stark is imo at least comparable to CW on scout and not much worse than top soldiers on soldier. If he's on soldier he can contest Mike in a match, from what I have seen. And Kaidus was great and seemed to be capable of even more than he delivered at LAN, albeit rarely on the best team. Once again though, a specialist. I have omitted any medics, which seems unfair. I'd probably pick Shade, but I watched more NA TF2 than EU when I started watching a few years back.

So essentially, is a specialist better than a top level generalist? Not a clue.

Stark was just brilliant. So many big plays.
Astt was really good actually. Probably a bit unsung. Tbf, Thalash had some really big plays that could or should have swung the final his way.
And Raymon wins the huge cojones mvp, with how he just rides out the damage until he really has to use his uber or die.

Didn't Muma's stats in the final map vs Full Tilt stack up favourably to Alle's?

The first LAN I ever watched live and it was fucking incredible.

The games were great but the production itself was just top notch. Every aspect. So impressed with all the casters and pundits too. Sideshow and Bren in particular were just so insightful in how they explained why things were being done. For players like me who are new ish to playing and even watching comp, they were a godsend, as were the other casters really, and eXtine's interviews were superb.

Thank you and just brilliant work to all who were involved. Honestly, brilliant from start to finish.

xd

Raymon was pretty beastly himself. Balls of steel with timing his uber pops under pressure.

Could have gone either way.

very good game and two good teams.

And I don't think any player in the two teams let themselves down over the LAN. Great to watch them all.

The first LAN I've watched live and every single game I have seen has been really entertaining.

I guess the key to it really taking off is to get people to see what we see.Although the real key is to get people playing the game and comp more, and the responsibility for that does lie with Valve.

That Crowns roll of Froyo for 1-0 was awesome.

Hopefulyl Froyo bounce back for a proper contest.

He's really great with his questions. Been good to watch.

It does make me laugh though when the interviewee finishes answering the question and eXtine says 'cool', 'great' or 'awesome', and it sounds like he doesn't give a shit what they just said:D

Sorry to be a neutral wanker, but really liked all of the coverage and all the hosts/commentators to be honest, aside from the obvious pauses while we wait.

No real feedback to give in terms of what to improve.

Schocky's PC and peripherals were left in Germany.

FFS, he's in my fantasy team as well.

It really does have so much potential.

Some pretty exciting games thus far.

Obviously the problem is the lack of exposure to potential viewers/players.

Fucking good game, this.

5.5k people watching too. Not bad.

Not sure 'nice' is the word :D

Paddie has been awesome thus far.
