good for the viewers and broadcast teams, not so much for the players imo

Huge thanks to you guys (and Giblert too--he was in the same circumstance as Marxist in time constraints). I've never had such an easier time observing in my life (context: I don't observe with cheatfeed at all). Felt like whenever I would switch to a POV you guys were reading my mind and commentating whoever I switched to right as I did it. It was crazy how good the camera work and the commentary lined up the entire game. I've never experienced that in my life and I don't think I ever will again. Had a few people message me about it and had to rewatch the VOD cause I couldn't believe it either

OH MY GOD THEY DIDNT DISAPPOINT <3 Marxist and gecks

EASILY THE BEST INVITE CAST OF THIS SEASON SO FAR

(hopefully i did yall justice on the observing)

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

We would like to welcome the fellow lads to the Fireside:

je'mond -- Creative Director

and his team? We got one just for him!

Bethnicz -- Video Editor
kirisame -- GFX
Soala -- GFX (welcome back!)

Additionally I'd like to introduce nyna, who might be helping us with future events!

jemond and I share the same vision about creating TF2 lore. While I do not have the best creative mind, jemond is there to fill the gaps antlers and I lacked in having for that side. Now that we have a team of creative and bright minded individuals. I am sure we can pursue projects that preserve the history of TF2 competitive lore and also make some bite sized content for casual TF2 esports viewers.
______________

We introduce to you new two forms of content:

Retrospection Chats (original post):

TL;DR, Interview series influenced by Thorin's Reflections series to interview longstanding figures in the TF2 scene about their history and involvement.

Planned guests:

• Walrex
  
• gecks
  
• Jarrett

Youtube Shorts Content

Bethnicz is spearheading this one, she did release a video to get the idea out and there is always room for improvement!

Marxist:
lol i think i cna do it
i'll pry just be a little tired but should be OK

wtf gecks is casting? now we just need Marxist...

Cashworks last is definitely hard to break, but I am a huge fan of all the different pathways and flanks. I can see how confusing it is for defenders new to the map and they find someone flanking constantly though lol

General feedback and questions: would amateur moveups to IM be interested in a preseason tournament where the prize pool is a winner takes all: the prize being they have all their fees paid up?

We're also looking for help with GFX/Design/Social Media/Chat moderators. We're looking to make a HUGE revamp and do more content outside of casting. Please reach out to me siyo_. on Discord

If you're the website guy who reached out to me message me!

random note but we also added map introductions for two of the maps tonight (didn't expect granary so we don't have one). Let me know if you like it :)

fuck my bad for the game crashes during the 2nd map the update presented challenges...

Sorry for the late post! I was busy at work but hopefully this gives you all enough notice for the sandblast + marm cast ;)

We will cover every match barring potential matches on same date/time (matches scheduled on the same day we will try to accomodate with dual streams)
