Update: TF2 TV will be casting a showmatch between Team Spain and Team France tonight around 21.15 CEST! Exciting times! Also, to clear everything up: the cast will be on a Mumble server of which the details will be announced soon, there will not be a stream as of yet.
Hello everyone!
Today, I’m proud to announce the launch of a new website, a new initiative and hopefully something that makes the TF2 Scene better! From now on, October 21st 2010, will be known as the day that TF2 TV got launched.
For the past 24 hours, I (
Pledge) worked together with
D2M and
Comedian to create a new website called TF2 tv , with the sole purpose of bringing TF2 to a higher level, where it belongs. The idea from me, was to create an independent medium for TF2 shoutcasts, podcasts and general news FOR FREE, so that we keep holding on to the idea of playing this game for fun, and with everyone. In the last 24 hours, we managed to get a website, irc channel up and we got FakkelBrigade to support us with SourceTV relays and 1000-slot Mumble servers. Thanks to Arie, Exfane, and the rest of the FB’ers :)
The start of this website will be celebrated with the first casts, coming to you TONIGHT! And not only one game, but we will do an entire evening of casting. At both 20.00 and 21.15 CEST we will be casting an interesting game, to say the least.
At 20.00 CEST, Pledge and D2M will be casting the final of the La competiTF & -|F|- Angel’s Cup between Only Rockets Love You? and the recently picked up UltraViolet! It is a cup where all the unlocks were allowed, so we should see some crazy action for the first place price of $120 on Freight and Koth_Viaduct.
After that, at 21.15 CEST, after some rescheduling from Premier teams, we are not completely sure what we are casting yet! Digital Warfare used their wildcard in their game against RAGE multigaming. So we are still looking for a game, let me know if something interesting is up! Remember: we want an interesting game, not a one sided premier game (even though that might be premier!)
Then all that’s left right now, is to give you guys the info where you can find us tonight! Unfortunately, that’s the only thing missing at the moment. The lovely guys at FB are still working on our mumble server, and the relay IPs will obviously be posted when they are available.
I hope to see you guys tonight. Please support TF2 TV with feedback (positive and negative, so we can improve the casts and coverage!) and we will keep you all up to date on future projects, casts and other interesting things…. For any shoutout tonight by the way – Post them in IRC at #tf2tv !
Thanks for reading everyone!

Nice initiative, and hope it goes down well in the community, AND gets the support it deserves.
- # - nice! +1FUCK YEAH!!!!
- # - nice! +1perhaps a collaboration between MGE and tf2tv could be useful, as both seem to strive for a more “serious” take on tf2 with content which might attract competetive players from not just tf2, albeit through a different approach.
- # - nice! +0sajh, thing is MGE is for-profit and tf2tv isn’t. That makes them incompatible.
- # - nice! +6Nice!
- # - nice! +0Looking forward to this!
- # - nice! +0The trick is going to be getting those VODs turned around quickly before the game is old news, IMO.

- # - nice! +0@ Cure – I think your find some of us worked hard to get TF2 recognised in the broadcasting community and it was infact the community that let us down.
I am glad this organisation / community / gathering (whatever it is considered) has surfaced and it will be interesting to see how it pans out.
I wish you good luck.
