matches were just released today, idk what more you want from me lol. most people don't refresh rgl constantly waiting to see which team they need to reach out to for a reschedule on a weds. the fact i didnt respond meant i hadn't even made a decision yet but i think you made that decision for me with your response.

i think everytime you've reached out to me up until that last game we've either had an invite or advanced game reserved for the time slot. I don't see anything wrong with my message other than telling our coverage channel that you had reached out for a cast and said that on paper it's a straight up 5-0 without sugarcoating the words. not trying to make fun of you but we've only chosen matches that we think narratively should be close unless it's straight up the only match to cast that day. and there's always options on wednesday so that is a far bit reaching

We'll be covering ★★★½ vs. tf2hard on Fireside!

Hello! I felt this would be appropriate for a separate thread so I'll repost the material here.

I'm siyo / jayy from Fireside Casts. Aside from match coverage, one of the big things I really find interest in is applying good marketing practices/brand growth in esports. And in due part to that, I've been very interested in helping teams grow their brands.

For full transparency, we've done merch collaborations with G6/Anglerfish/ROME.

We offer an 80% to 20% profit split on all sales (teams get 80% of all profits, 100% of all donations attached to an order).
And if you haven't seen it as of late, we've also released a documentary about ROME which has kind of grown awareness about the team (despite them not having any achievements) and started a small cult following of ROME fans.

An extra project that I have been working on alongside scheduling broadcast matches for all divisions in RGL and writing short story scripts like the ROME video was building a brand/logo behind a jersey. ROME and Anglerfish were our first two attempts at making jerseys.

While making the jerseys, I took into account everything from design, affordability, customer support & shipping (international shipping), and product material/whatnot. I think the price point we put it at ($49.95) is pretty affordable vs. most esports jerseys that range in the $65-80 range.

Anyways let me know what yall think. Cheers :)

We released our first short-story video influenced by many other youtubers (e.g. Score Esports, Akshon, Jumba, etc.) (note: a lot of time constraints involving this video as our video editor, bethnicz is in the process of moving and thus had to pump this out a bit rushed!)

main influence was the galea helmet which from the side can look like a spartan helmet but we were using this as a ref image

team liquid jerseys from cs follow a similar pattern. but, compared to the rome logo, which is a front facing perspective, the liquid logo is a sideways perspective which integrates into their jersey design pretty well. so ya

another draft we followed up was using roman tile patterns fading up from the waist bottom, laurel around the neck opening, with a bright maroon background (note -- no sleeves because jersey template separates the front torso / sleeves). def influenced by the rome logo color and can be compared to the as roma soccer jerseys
