I just wanted to mention that the format of the tournament was absolutely great.

Having the invite group play for seedings meant we got to see a lot more great games, starting with low pressure ones and gradually ramping things up.

At i46 it went from being endless 5-0 rolls in the groups to good teams being knocked out a few maps later in the brackets.

We're all good

I didn't get to go because I'm an idiot, but I had a good time at home anyway

Thanks Gubbins

Shade still hasn't returned to the dorms...I hope someone can return him to us just a tad sober

We've returned him, good luck.

@whoever was making fun of my sniper question, hey, they couldn't all be gold.

Quick thoughts from the Heathrow airport:
-Group stage setup made for nonstop incredible games from Friday through Sunday. Do that again.
-For what was basically the last set of casts of my TF2 career (probably), I couldn't have asked for better matches or a bigger, more enthusiastic crowd.
-VanillaTV pulled out all the stops. Maybe they were concerned about TFTV's offer, I dunno. Whatever the reason, Lange, Arie and Bones ran one hella sweet stream.
-I got to have fun this LAN, going from casting to hanging out to pub quizzes to passing out and back to casting.
-The only reason I made it to the airport in time for my flight was an awesome bus driver from Kosovo named Ibo.
-Need more of these LANs. Once a year not enough.

Salamancer4i52, make it happen, I'll offer alcoholic compensation!

LuckyLuke if you're gonna make a video of all the good frags i wish you all the luck in the world.

It literally takes me 3 hours to record 2 frags @ 240 fps then again i'm terrible at editing. Still must be a shit ton of work to go though 10 + stvs and pick the best frags.

:D :D :D

I'm honestly surprised Arie survived that cast without having a stroke. We pushed it at times with our content. So we owe him a BIG thank you for letting us do it, as I know that some people involved with VTV really didn

I didn't really mean for it to be insulting or anything, it was just a bit weird to have such a poor question come up when there really is only one answer, and that's practice.

I did enjoy everything else about the show, though!

A big thanks to Arie for having the balls to let me and Coleman do this. I'm sure he 100% didn't regret it afterwards.

one of the best parts of the lan

he should've let you cast the finals on an alternate stream

I was about to offer that to Shintaz when I realized I'd rather just watch 1 match, the grand finals, and not (help) run a stream for once this entire event.

Anyway, they should just do a cast based on STV :D

I'm setting a bounty
