hi
so once again this season i will be doing the invite coverage for http://www.eseanews.com
in season's past i have said to myself "okay i'm gonna do cool feature articles like interviews and that dumb fanfic thing i did about S and get us some extra written content." the issue was that all of those things made me hate myself and writing them was boring and trying to get good answers out of interviewees is like pulling teeth (except for soup, who did a sick job)
so instead of doing that, i am going to ask you dudes - what should i do for feature articles this season? what do you actually want to see covered? it can be anything from dumb drama or gossip or invite rumors or whatever, i just want to see ideas and see what you people will actually want to read and respond to.
the first thing i have done and that will go up tonight or tomorrow depending on when the graphics are finished is an article about the b4nny/Tyrone combo splitting up, and there will be a preseason power rankings article up on probably this coming Sunday with predictions to come.

Honestly I think the top 4 teams and their players, in what ever configuration they are in get a little bit too much fan fare. I would like to learn more about the up and coming players whether they are in IM or low invite.
Nix the interviews, not to offend but competitive video gamers are just not the most interesting people to talk to.
Finally this is more of a wish than a real recommendation, but given your extensive knowledge of tf2 history, perhaps a series of articles on the evolution of the meta game.

Recaps of past matches would be great for those of us living in the "wrong" timezone, as well as articles on roster shakeups and drama.

Maybe its the redundancy of writing stories along the same arc that bores you? You could title your article(s) "DJC's Corner" and write about different things from week to week. You'd be like a freelance journalist or something along those lines.

I would like you to interview some of the ladies of the tf2 community. I think we would all like to know their interests turn-ons and generally what they are looking for in a high-IM scout boyfriend.

In regards to DJC's recent article (which is a fantastic read), is there any reason why Tyrone didn't pick up yz50? The last place I'd think yz50 would end up would be on classic mixup.
