Otherwise, Awesome job!

Thanks to everyone for tolerating my terrible summaries accompanied by bad editing throughout this weekend. I'll try to improve for next time, if I'm not fired outright for this performance.
Of course, there's a need for a big shoutout list. Thanks to:
- the production team at Insomnia55, who did an absolutely amazing job and invested so much to make this happen. I'll highlight dashner specifically because the man has poured in his life's essence into making this the best event it could be, and deserves nothing more than our highest praises.
- the teams themselves for giving us some amazing action. I'm still regretting that I was unable to watch the group stages as they happened live, but I could not imagine anything being even better than what we saw in the bracket where everyone played insanely well. Of course, there can be only one champion, and froyotech took that title pretty convincingly, so huge congratulations to them.
- the sponsors and supporters: Multiplay, YoYoTech, backpack.tf, Bobsplosion, SweetStakes.tf, and even more that I'm forgetting. It took a lot to make this a great event, and you really helped it get to where it went.
- the other websites, in particular Comp.tf and Saloon.tf. Comp.tf was a great resource throughout the event, keeping up-to-date with all the details, and Saloon.tf made everyone a hell of a lot more lively.
- the community. You are why everyone behind-the-scenes puts in the amount of effort that they do to put on a good show, and even though I was across the Atlantic shut into my room the past two days, I could feel your hype even more than ever on the forums, on Twitter, in stream chat, and everywhere else.
We should all be proud to be a competitive TF2 fan today, because this weekend we showed the world the best we have to offer, and we're only just starting to unlock our full potential.

I woke up this morning with a bad taste in my mouth.
just when i turned on my PC to watch the VOD of the stream, my nausea intensified and i rushed to the bathroom and puked my guts out.
that's when i knew nerdrage had lost...

What an awesome i-series to watch. Each team has always been strongly contested. i46 Mix^ were very close with LG. i49 Epsilon had damn close games with HRG + Broder. i52 Froyo were much more contested outside of the final, and even i55 Froyo lost a b03 to nR and were 1 golden cap round from being knocked out by [R]eason on Gullywash. Grats to Froyo in the end though.
It would be great to see 2 international tournaments a year for TF2. Whether it's in NA somewhere or maybe a cheaper country to host it in Europe. There must be a thread somewhere on that. Hopefully matchmaking brings more hype + $

yeah after a tournament like this, peaks at 8-9k viewers and 10000£ raised without the support of any big company (no offense there) i don't see why nobody invests in TF2 given the community is so supportive and ready to pay to make good things happen. Invest and you won't be disappointed!!
@tsc : you put Product instead of Viaduct when telling about reason vs froyo

What a great work on cameras and the outro, sadly I lost the first day and the muted parts on twitch are kinda annoying, but with i49 this one with most feels.
TF2 ain't dead.
EDIT: Also, anyone knows where to find all photos taken by tagg?
