cya @ RGB 6.

for TFTV and most casting orgs we use a tool called nodeCG for our graphics package and we have scripts that will pull log data.

I was working on a package for it but never finished it so afaik there is no open source log parser for casting.

I might go back and finish it but it requires a lot of setup to work.I.E. you need a nodeJS server
I know there are some producers who have things in the work for this but I can't comment on their work.

It's not necessarily a hard thing to do.

All logs on logs.tf can be pulled through a json file and that is typically used to display the logs.

If you want here is a link to my open source casting package for tf2. It's been a couple months since I updated so it's a case of what you see is what you get.

logs.tf api about page

If you don't want to go through the trouble of setting up a server for this stuff to run on feel free to reach out and I can see what I can do.

I plan to write up a full article introducing the teams and their rosters that should be out sometime next week

Shoutout to essentials and the lan team for giving me something to watch/listen to while working and putting on an amazing event. Shout out to whichever team was in charge of producing valorant for taking forever to clear the stage

Will the highlander equivalent of this be product?

The version of casting essentials you've posted is outdated and might not be stable with the current version of the game.

The current build we use when casting matches can be found here:

Can't say what everyone else on the NA production teams schedules are like, but I work midnight to 8am on weekends, so I'll be missing this one :(

The ultimate pick ban, a best of 9 series where teams will pick and ban from both the entire non-mvm stock map pool and the entire comp map pool across all leagues and formats.

Stopwatch maps are done as bo3
Koth Maps are done as bo3
Destruction maps are bo3
plr maps are bo3
pass time maps are bo3
5cp maps are done as 30min bo5

What's the first map you ban and why?

What's the first map you pick and why?

Are there any particular maps you would be looking forward to the most or the least?

My 2nd oldest brother used to go by "The-Small-Cheese", My Older brother whos closer to my age went by "the-tiny-cheese" at one point though he doesn't use that alias any more. I went with "Themicrocheeze" since I am the youngest of 4 siblings.
