Epsilon come into this final not conceding a single round to any of their opponents, first beating 
Xterra, 
Showtime and Famestars 5-0 in their first two rounds before their 2-0 semi-final victory against 
Infused.Tt on Gravelpit. SG-1 also have an equally impressive recording heading into the final pushing aside Meet Your Maker, UV-Gaming and the recently revived Monster Munch again without losing a round before beating Team Dignitas 2-1 in the semi-final.
The maps tonight will be Badlands, Granary and a Gravelpit decider. Greg and 
Admirable will be behind the mic this evening for VanillaTV casting what, on paper at least, promises to be an interesting game.
The prizes are 6x Bigfoot Killer 2100 network cards and according to Team Dignitas, you can’t play with out them!

The hud, It-It’s freaking beautiful!
This stream feels very proffesional! :D
- # - nice! +1gg guys sorry about no grav.
- # - nice! +1Congratulation to Epsilon!
- # - nice! +1VODS are ADDED.
STV demos are BROKEN, so i wont upload em until they are fixed.
- # - nice! +1What a fantastic game.
The Dignitas advert is ridiculously funny too.
- # - nice! +0Yeah stream was awesome! Amazing job martn!
Also, over 1600 specs at one point, congrats!
- # - nice! +4I like the new HUD, but just one little pointer… Maybe not have casters comment on stuff that is being said in chat by the players, if it is not visible to the viewers on the stream.
- # - nice! +2The chat was a bug on the hud, will be fixed next time.
- # - nice! +0Such a good game, so much fun to cast, thank you epsilon and sg-1 for making it so good
- # - nice! +5Such a homo.
- # - nice! +5Do you want me to braid your hair next time too?
Was a great game. I gotta admit, I’ve been a Randa skeptic, but I’ll have to bite the grass and officially announce myself a Randa believer.
I heard rumours of the game showing up on the JTV front page. That’s great news, good word to whomever made that happen!
- # - nice! +4YES LADS
- # - nice! +0Cookye <3
- # - nice! +0How many viewers did the foreign streams have?
- # - nice! +0German one had about 70
- # - nice! +0Russian stream had about 40-50 during all match…
- # - nice! +0Yes a gg, shame about not playing the third map. Yes randa has improved a tonne load especially with his non-predictions of sticky traps, reminds me of me when I was good :D wp to Epsilon.
Yes for those that do not know, VanillaTV was on the frontpage of justin.tv for a few minutes at the very end of the 2nd map. 1600+ viewers is excellent when put in context how long we’ve been around (3months). Is a hard challenge for all our staff but I’m proud of them as the head of VanillaTV. Things can only get better.
Also the new hud Myself and Torden have created is still Work In Progress. We are open to any fundamental flaws, for example chat hud missing (this was known but we figured you’d want some prettyness) also someone else mentioned a RED bar for when someone is low on health, this is possible but the only problem with a red bar is that one of the teams are the colour red, so distinguishing between the two would be difficult.
If anyone has any suggestions with anything else they saw, please message myself or Torden on irc, I shall be working on it again this weekend.
p.s. Good Job to Greg and Admirable for last nights cast.
Cheers

- # - nice! +4My thoughts:
• Solid HUD overlay takes up too much space on the screen, either shrink it or reduce the opacity
- # - nice! +0• No visible health for the particular playing you are speccing (besides the full overview)
• Two birdies on screen all the time is overkill
• Personally not a fan of the left-weighted layout, prefer symmetry
• Permanently visible map score would be handy
Thanks for that, lemme give you a response straight away.
Koetje:
Agree about the colours, we’re gonna be tweaking them.
Atmo:
“• Solid HUD overlay takes up too much space on the screen, either shrink it or reduce the opacity”
- Can’t touch the size much, will see if there ways of going around it.
“• No visible health for the particular playing you are speccing (besides the full overview)”
I think this is a matter of habit, consider other sports casts and how much hud elements they really have? Give it some time to get used to it, and pester us if it still ain’t right!
“• Two birdies on screen all the time is overkill”
Yeah, the hud was designed without the logo overlay. Might be time to just remove it.
“• Personally not a fan of the left-weighted layout, prefer symmetry”
Again, give it some time. Changes are never easy.
“• Permanently visible map score would be handy”
- # - nice! +0Agreed. Anybody know how to do this?
I really miss being able to see the health of the current player in the middle-bottom of the screen. There’s no way I can follow the actions of the player (which are at the center of the screen), and at the same time keep an eye on 1 out of 12 numbers on the far left of the screen. Besides that, the hud is great.
- # - nice! +7But randa can also hit a shit ton of pipes ;).
Hud was great, already gave my comments on irc/mumble :). With regards to my comment about the red hud hp thing: can you make it so that normal health is green, buffed lime green and low dark gray/blackish. Really would like to really see who has the hp advantage, now its kinda hard.

Also about the HUD: can you please make some space between teams? Cos when teams have 3-4 dead players all these 12 bars are looking like one big 12-ppl team, it is hard to read info quickly (where the players from one team end and players from the second team start).
