Tagged: Byte Comedian CrackClan etf2l granary

Byte — Alongside a decent premiership lineup for Season 12, we have two potential teams at the top of div 1 battling out. With players like Haunter & Stuntz from Naughty Badmen and Animal & destructo from CIDO, who will out wit who?

Tonight will be a debut match for both teams – having not played any matches yet in ETF2L, and also rumour has it (source: Animal) that CIDO have not played for a very long time. Find out what happens if CIDO lose – will they fold, or will they find the strength to recompose themselves for the rest of the season!

Comedian — Well, I hope you guys are all at home, having recovered a bit from the intense weekend that was Insomnia 45. We here at VanillaTV have caught back up on some sleep, and in order to reflect back on the event we would like to gather some feedback from you, the viewer at home, so that we can improve things for Insomnia 46, which is scoping up to be a fantastic event.

Anyhow, regarding the feedback we are looking for, we have several specific points that we are looking for your opinions about which are listed below. We are looking for both things you liked and didn’t like, but in the case you did not like something, we are only looking for constructive criticism, so please try to frame your feedback in a nice way. There is a difference between giving feedback and just being plain offensive, and we hope that you will not go past this limit.

The Grand Finals – As we cannot influence the match itself (we hope), we are looking for feedback on everything around it, specifically; the introduction of the players and casters on-stage, the between map interview with elem-v, the way the cheerfuls were presented and distributed, the camerawork in-game by myself, and anything else we missed.
The post-processed and edited Youtube content such as the intro video, interviews, spitfire rounds, and 1v1 interviews (these are to be released!). What Did you like, what did you think could have been done better, and what is something that you would like to see at the next event?
Scheduling – how easy did you find it to see who/what was getting casted and find information in general?
Rebroadcast – We ran a rebroadcast of the day’s events during the night, so for those of you that tuned in, what did you think about it? could we have improved it, or just do it the same way?
The saturday night cp_toxic mix community cast – Should we have done it? Its not professional but it shows lan atmosphere and was greatly enjoyed by all people in the casting room. I do not know how it was enjoyed by the people at home, and if it is something we would want to repeat.
And finally, Casting – Please limit yourself to giving feedback on Pledge, CUBE and myself regarding casting done at lan. For myself, i also appreciate feedback on camera positioning and movement.

Hopefully, we will be able to gain some great feedback from this post, and improve, what was in my eyes the best coverage any TF2 event has had, to even greater standards.

Trell — Spoiler: the final wrap up is after the jump, just in case you haven’t seen the Grand Final results or Vods yet.

We’ve seen some great TF2 over the past three days, direct from Insomnia 45 in Telford, with everyone agreeing that by far the game of the tournament was Round 2 of the Double Elim stages, between Elemental Violence and Zumba! – click here to see the vod.

The VanillaTV staff have been busy little beavers too with tons of content for you to work your way through, as well as doing all the streaming and casting from the event. A big thanks to Byte, Pledge, Comedian, CUBE and Bones for all their hard work and dedication this weekend (also a special mention to skyride for helping with technical issues). Listed below is most of the content uploaded so far.

Trell — We’re bringing you a super fast cast tonight – as Team Infused take on nonamefound (aka TCM, aka Byte’s Team) in the 5th round of the Upper Bracket in the Velociraptor Cup. Only 1 map, which will be cp_gullywash, and Byte was quoted as saying “Infused will win 5-0″ – mind games or defeatism?

Tune in tonight at (roughly, depending on when a certain caster gets home from work) 21:15 CEST with Comedian streaming, and Greg and Chaplain casting.
