For an ambitious project, it’s always going to be easy to find the wrong bits, especially if you’re sitting at home well clear of the fog of war which is a lan event. Sure, it had its hickups, and sure there’s been elements in previous attempts which have been better. But on the whole, this has been the best covered TF2 event I’ve seen.
That’s not shabby, for a bunch of nerds mostly working from their own pockets, sacrificing their own enjoyment to bring the show to the masses.
So, to the VanillaTV crew at work (both on and off site), eXtv’s representatives, the Seanbuds, TwitchTV, Akasazh and of course the iOrganizers: Thank you.

TweetWell said Torden, i46 was awesome…VanillaTV did an excellent job of covering the matches and the Grand Final was spectacular! :D
Thanks to Torden for springing a busman’s holiday and coming to work on graphics for the stream. Was great to meet you and the rest of the crew.
- # - nice! +7Likewise thanks to the backroom team on IRC, horrible lan-dodgers that you all are.
Yes, many thanks and big props to everyone involved in VTV’s coverage over the weekend, casters, staff, guests, everyone.
- # - nice! +3gj!
rlly enjoyed watching the cast
- # - nice! +4good coverage, I was a bit disappointed in no stv for the final though
- # - nice! +3It’s the same deal every LAN and it’s out of Vanilla’s control.
- # - nice! +5Yep have to say I spent most of Sat and Sun either playing TF2 or watching it via vanilla. Only little niggle was the stream for me was a bit laggy even at 240p but i just went over to the VTV stand and watched it there. Such a great job was done you guys. Should be really proud of yourselves. Big thanks to Extine and Comedian for casting the Highlander final even tho you guys looked like you needed sleep Also thanks to all the Americans (+1 Canadian) for showing the EU teams how to play TF2.
Cheers guys
- # - nice! +5Ye the lag was mainly just due to the internet at the event being a bit shit for download. Ironically the upload was quick enough that we could have had about 6 seperate 1080p streams without issue. :D
- # - nice! +3its funny, cuz i so told you this would happen and well…its really ur own fault not the internets so keep up the ignoring of ppl who want to help ;)
- # - nice! +3It’s impossible to tell if you’re trolling or serious because you’re such a retard.
Wtf are you talking about? Im saying people at lan couldn’t watch because the internet was bad. It was fine for everyone else at home and they’d have the same problem regardless of which stream they were watching or which site they were watching it on.
It was a pleasure watching you guys all weekend. Thanks for not letting me sleep.
Thanks for the support John! :)
THX indeed!
- # - nice! +0Thanks to all VTV crew, yeah! I spent all week-end watching it… And now it seems it was the last good and sunny weekend, damn :( ;-))
- # - nice! +0I’ve pretty much finished the Good LAN / Bad LAN for i46. Wrote it on the train, just need to read it over and make a few changes in a less completely exhausted state. Should be up tomorrow.
Fantastic event and great to watch.
Stayed up all night watching games and shit talking byte >:D.
Great work VTV and extv, especially sal you beast!
- # - nice! +0Did Akasazh actually do anything? Or was his job to stand there and look pretty ;)
- # - nice! +0I spent all weekend watching TF2, with a big sunny day out here. And it worth.
- # - nice! +2Thanks to everyone who made this happen, you guys are awesome.
Amazing event and all the euro players I met were really cool.
I really hope we can do it again some time.
Great streams, loved the fact that when vanilatv took a break, I could just switch to the other streams up, from casters and players.
btw is there any way to get the stv demos of the matches?
- # - nice! +1Thanks VTV for the coverage.
