Yes! I've been talking to Chris, our competition's admin, and he has a bunch of questionably plausible ideas, but do not worry, there will be more in the future, for all sorts of formats.

I wrote an article raising some talking points from the first round of Premiership fixtures

Five things we learned from week 1 in the Premiership Division

Any and all feedback welcome

It's been a while! Stop by twitch.tv/maincall tomorrow at 21:15 CET for some D1 casting action, getting us up and running.

For variety you could try a cup where ubering is banned
as in medics are still allowed but they aren't allowed to pop any ubers
idk i just thought it sounded interesting

Wait, what? Why?

Yeah it's a pretty shit idea isn't it. Nevermind.

It's not only our casters doing rad stuff again, I am working on an another interview.

Took me a while, sorry my friends.

Thanks to everyone who came to watch last night, we hope it was enjoyable. Come at 21:15 CET again tonight to twitch.tv/maincall to see Lowpander take on E-SHOCK ESPORT

Time for another irritating and shameless bump disguised as a content update: here's rayiner's interview with herr_p

Nice!

Hey! Sorry for such a late response to this question... there was a little chaos on our side as we juggled a few newcomers and worked to improve our organization and handling of things. Rest assured things have settled down now, especially with the lull in the ETF2L season before the playoffs.

Unfortunately the casting HUD is still a bit of a work in progress... It's quite close to completion, but we're currently refining the details of it to make it more visually appealing without it becoming too noisy. We're just trying to work out the kinks at the moment.

Meanwhile, HELLO. I am one of the writers for maincall now, and am currently fulfilling my duty of being that one Canadian guy. Basically I'm here to say "eh" a lot, shove pancakes down peoples throats, and rant loudly about hockey.

In all seriousness though, I'm also here to make sure Toast doesn't miss anything like important questions from fellow casting peoples, and to try to keep communication between maincall and the actual community in tact...

There are currently several articles in the works right now, one of which I'm currently working on in regards to maps and map-making. However that likely won't be done until later this weekend.

Until then though, I shall continue pretending to be European from here in Canada and will happily answer any questions here that I'm capable of answering. If not I'll just go yell at one of the resident Euro's on the team.

We just released the first of a series of articles based on "What Makes a Good Competitive Map." Sorry it took a little longer than we intended!

This particular part of the series focuses on the midfight, and the middle point.

You can find it here: http://maincall.tf/what-makes-a-good-competitive-map-part-one-the-midfight/

Feedback and input would be greatly appreciated, as well as others own thoughts on what makes a good competitive map.

That's awesome. We need as many signups as we can get.

Hello everyone, I'm afraid we're still desperate for teams to signup for the Around The World Cup Powered by TF2Pickup.net. We have only 7 teams in our low bracket and 1 in our high bracket. So as a result, we've decided to remove the entry fee for all teams who sign up between now and at the end of tomorrow. Please, we really need your help and this cup won't be as big as it can be if we don't get enough signups.

Signups for High Bracket (prem-d3): http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/UBqiCXOye0
Signups for Low Bracket (d4-6): http://challonge.com/maincallATW3D

Not a good idea. You're basically punishing teams for signing up early when usually it's the other way around..

?

The final brackets have been put out for the Around The World In 3 Days Cup Powered by TF2Pickup.net! You can see the brackets and who you are playing against here for the low bracket: http://challonge.com/maincallATW3D and here for the high bracket http://challonge.com/ATW3DHB

All team leaders should add one another through their challonge team profile, if it is not displayed then send me an add and I can sort that out.

We are using the Season 20 whitelist as well as koth_sandstone_pro_b18 instead of their predecessors.

We will hopefully also be stream the high bracket live at twitch.tv/maincall but due to our two cameramen being unavailable and nobody from tftv being able to help out it may not be a possibility for tonight.

Maybe it's just me, but I honestly didn't know this was happening until
I think yesterday, so I think a little it more advertising outside might have been nice.

Hey, maincall.tf is back on Friday night where we'll be casting the UGC Gold Lower Bracket Final where we will see TC Express take on TC Ambition in the Team Colonslash derby of the season!

Tune in at 21 CEST on Friday on twitch.tv/maincall to catch all the action!

It's been a while, I get this, but it's still twitch.tv/maincall btw. ;)

woops, haven't been on the channel for such a long while, thanks though.

Hello,
I think we're in a need of a casting org to cover High of ETF2L like EVLTV does in NA region.
Any plans on coming back? I'm adding games on Saloon so you'll definitely get some viewership.
