Hey, guys. Hear me out on this. I cast TF2 on my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/MCFrenchTheLlama). I was wondering if there is any way for me to talk to someone like Enigma about potentially trying out(?) to do a cast or two of some low-level matches on TF.TV. I have a decent amount of experience, and I feel that I'm getting better with each cast I do.

Hi FrenchTheLlama,

Thanks for putting yourself out there and getting into TF2 casting! I've watched a couple of your videos and am loving what I am seeing. You did a great job from setting up your YT videos to your solo casting (which is very difficult in its own right).

As far as joining the TF.TV crew goes, what was it that you had in mind? Did you want to put up your casts on the official TF.TV YouTube channel? Did you just want to brand your YouTube channel as part of the TeamFortressTV family but keep it as your own? Did you want to cast live on Twitch.TV or only in recorded videos like you posted?

TL;DR How did you see this playing out and what role do you want to play within the larger organization?

Meanwhile, I've opened up the discussion with some of the other crew members about this. Just to fill you in, historically the TeamFortress.TV casting group has purposely been kept as a very tight knit and small orgnaization. There are a number of people who could cast for the organization and coverage could easily be expanded, however keeping TF.TV small ensures quality and consistency from cast to cast. We first started by casting only the ESEA-Invite matches for North America and then expanded to cover the Premiership Division in Europe. I can't speak to how the organization will grow in the future but you can bet that casters who join TF.TV will need to have some experince under their belt on their own before joining. I can see from your videos that you are doing that, and I'm very impressed.

Long paragraph! Anyways, I look forward to talking to you more about this soon. Feel free to PM me via Steam or talk to us in the #TFTV irc channel on Gamesurge.

Best,

MR SLIN

Oh one more thing too. In addition to telling us about what you want to do, you'll notice that a lot of the casters on TF.TV have had multiple seasons of league TF2 experience. I hope I'm not offending you when I ask this, but can you post a bit about your experiences in TF2 to date? Much appreciated.
