vote for tf2

seats are being taken quickly so make sure to select yours ASAP

group reservation thing probably isn't going to pan out, so just be ready to buy your seats ASAP (they sell out fast)

if you're even thinking of going, it's best to just buy your seats now since you can always get them refunded later

let's all sit in K10-21, L10-21, M10-21

are those actual lanfest account IDs?

the tf2 prize pot was never influenced by the bitcoin stuff

this is a complaint that's been brought up over and over again but it's a fundamental consequence of a tiered league system

you can't simultaneously incentivize high level play (climbing a league/ladder) while proportioning the prize purse such that the largest paying group receives the largest portion of the money

because prize pots are announced ~halfway through the season, I assume they're determined by the current season's registration

there's only group registration available right now which is open for one more day

if you guys post your lanfest usernames here ASAP I can get us a guaranteed block:

i think i've made ~$8 in preroll ad money from both the ZOWIE tournaments combined

let's go

then cast them yourself jesus christ

no one on our end is obligated to cast/camera anything at all; they do it because occasionally have some free time on weeknights to provide you with some entertainment

i'll be implementing a change to the sidebar shortly that'll let you filter what shows up there so sit tight

website development is an ongoing process that hasn't really stopped ever since the inception of TFTV (http://i.imgur.com/d4amOY0.png). backend improvements/bug fixes/optimization may not be apparent on the outside, but there are some things on the docket that I hope to push out in the upcoming month that'll be more interesting to the general user base:

• demo system (a la gotfrag)
  
• filtering system and event-specific tags for better sorting of news/vods
  
• notification system for plus users that'll let you know when someone replies to a post you made
  
• stream page and stream sidebar improvements

a good portion of my time is already spent on managing casts/tournaments and making sure the organization you see as TFTV runs smoothly. the amount of work I put in really doesn't justify the money I make at all, but I do it because everyone involved with TFTV is fantastic to work with and I get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing that people enjoy the content we produce.

the first thing I looked into when developing the sub system was some sort of integration with Twitch's and it just wasn't feasible for two reasons:

1. twitch takes half the money
   
2. there's no "clean" way to integrate twitch subs (no api or openid)

i'll be adding some sort of trial to tftv+ in short time because I genuinely think that the post highlighting is a really neat feature that adds a lot of value for frequent forum browsers

the casters do already get paid by ESEA (almost enough to cover the costs of flights)

I think the problem is that there isn't enough of a benefit to having the casters on location that warrants having to deal with setup/logistics on site
