Unless there is some other initiative in the works that will require substantial community donations and is more worthwhile, why not? It seems people still find it appealing enough a cause to donate to, and while i46 didn't cause huge growth it definitely gave the vast majority of donors their moneys worth in entertainment (assuming they were american hehe sorry chaps..). As a player it definitely made the game more fun to play, but the main reason for that was because of the drive to regain some pride the next time we played the yanks - particularly in epsilon's case. I really doubt half those players would even still be here if it weren't for that desire.

Also I don't really get what good donating it to a prize pool would do. Look at the dreamhack venture - raising 10k for a prizepool was the least of anyone's concerns, and unless you raise it for such an event then it won't do anything more than another international i-series - probably less, and most definitely less spectator value.

Add a NY server and you'll probably see some late night euro nerds playing on them too.

I heard that djc guy might cast too

Oh god just let it go.

First tf2 pov stream I could stand to watch. I approve!

Should definitely keep it to top divisions only. Having clips from all manner of skill levels means it becomes really unclear to casual viewers why one clip is placed higher than another. As far as they can tell it makes no sense if #8 is a 10hp open player getting a 4 man, but then #7 is a top scout getting a clutch med pick. These videos work a lot better when there's clear context.

I think keeping it to invite/prem requires people go through the STVs though, otherwise you end up not actually having the top 10 plays of the month.

Also, it probably makes most sense to include prem. The seasons don't tend to run concurrently (at least not entirely) so you avoid having awkward months where there's no matches.

Thanks for the 3 billion new emails gang.

You sure that server was up to date? Still works fine for me, just gives a 149 reading.

I really think you should consider extending it a bit. It was slightly better this week with the new format, but I always feel like it takes you a while to warm-up and just as I'm starting to become interested the show is over. Nothing major; an optional additional 10-15 minutes to each segment is all I'm thinking. I just feel like it would allow you the freedom to follow trains of thought better.

Mmm one of the main reasons they lost interest in TF2 was the lack of activity from the writers. Cause of VTF2 no one really went there unless directly encouraged so there was little motivation to put the effort in. For anything to really happen with cadred it would require the community to get on board as well as the writers really.

Ye this. I get people come on my stream everyday talking shit about how I'm not as good as b4nny and you don't see me going offline!

Classic byte!
