the casters SLAYED it. Severely good, filling the hollow void of cbear with style.

The 20b eLv matches were so intense, I don't know if I've ever witnessed so many comebacks followed by such fast setbacks. I 20believed so hard it hurt

Honestly the casters and the production team really hit it outta the park this time. Gecks, Marxist, Getawhale and Yuki did their job outstandingly. Really glad to see that even though cbear's left the scene there are other amazing casters to fill the void that he left (not like you can really replace anyone, of course, but you know what I mean). The twitter/video showcase inbetween games was really neat as well.

Also, those uniforms looked awesome, and so did the intro/outro videos. (I really wanna check out the original storyboard for the intro SFM film, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.)

Great work, fellas.

Stream production gets better every event, awesome work being put in by everyone!

I love the intro and outro videos, they bring on the hype and make you feel sad when they close.

mustardoverlordMarxistThe other neat part about this lan is how MM and Elevate teleported their demos back in time to like 08-09' and went to roaming demos. It didn't win them LAN, but it was neat to see how the teams tried to do it. It's something that hasn't really been done in the upper echelons of TF2 in a long time, and it obviously worked against the 4 other invite teams sometimes.
My opinion on this: the way the demo nerf works, it's a lot more minor on LAN ping than when playing with like 50-60 ping online. Therefore, no team could really rely on a high damage demo online, and most people decided to cope with that fact by having him roam rather than go the other extreme and take demos into basically every uber. Yet, on LAN, demo is still potentially strong enough that having him be a more central part of the combo is worth it, which helped Street Hoops and froyotech a lot. froyo in particular could deal with the reduction in online effectiveness by being so much better than everyone else and making LAN pretty much by default.

I suppose Mad Men was screwed either way because Pharaoh really isn't good enough to make a big impact in high invite. However, I think Bdonski could've done more if his team didn't have that super weird style of giving both soldiers lots of heals and running pyro (didn't I say that was a shit strat???).

I'd like to see any of the 5 individuals who -fragged me explain their reasoning as to why they disagree with my analysis

I expect 5 separate essays due tonight by 12:00AM EST

it must be frustrating to live a life where -frags matter enough to make posts about it :\

protip they're not -fragging because they disagree with you they're -fragging because you keep making posts about the nerf and literally nobody else cares at this point

I finally had time to put together a BTS video of the SFM work I did for the intro this year. I was the one who worked on the theme (which is totally just meant to take the piss out of LoL's 2014 "Warriors" MV), I've always wanted to make a video for comp TF2 like this.

Congrats to 4G, shoutout to Invite for fighting it out and keeping my job security. Shoutout to Dashner for doing the sweet frags that Beater helped find, as well as helping me when it was crunch-time with editing + post-processing + additional angles + keeping my sanity in check. Shoutout to Airon and Mana for the awesome sound and music mixing. Shoutout to tsc for getting me on the production crew back in S17 when I did jerseys. Shoutout to the production crew and our casters, buy them all drinks next time you see them god damn it. And last but not least, shoutout to all y'all cool people for appreciating what we do, what I do.
