You know you can open two streams right?

And we have a match at the same time so doubtful.

Sure, but just from the point of view of quality for the audience. Sal is a nice guy, DJC is entertaining, but for actual insight bl4nk blows them out of the water.

Another point, tf.tv really need to lose the VTV idea of having a separate cameraman. It's shit. No one wants casters talking about action we can't see. Just have one or two experts calmly revealing the strategies unfolding. Preferably one so they don't succumb to the urge to 'present'. Lange streaming LG v mix^ on Process last season was another great and sadly rare example of a caster actually adding something. Mostly just shut the fuck up, let the action tell the story, and explain the interesting bits.

I guarantee you'll do better if you focus on quality information rather than appearing slick.

casters cast in 3rd person a lot and some of the casters cant stream in the quality the cameraman do. also the production that happens aside from just speccing in the server is a lot of shit to handle while also trying to cast. Also good casters like cbear/djc/sal add a lot to the action in my opinion and make it much more exciting.

it sounds like all you want is an stv. lol.

It would be nice if tf.tv could set up a mumble cast; I don't know if the casters could get access to something like eXtv or VTV's mumble.

"it sounds like all you want is an stv. lol."

I want an stv with Lange or bl4nk or someone directing and talking about the interesting bits. tf.tv are presenting tf2 like it needs to be hyped up. It's the wrong strategy.

Lange, it's okay to miss action. It's not okay to describe action that the viewers can't see.

I'm in general agreement with fraac here. I wish my stream quality were good enough for live TF2. I'd happily run camera and cast at the same time if it were. Lange is probably the best example of someone who can contribute both high-level commentary and excellent camerawork right now, and that combo is rare among casters.

LangeUntil we have the resources to create a system to monitor all 12 POVs at once and switch to them BEFORE the action occurs, action will always get missed. There is simply no way around it in a first-person game as fast-paced as this. I honestly believe that what we do now provides the best viewing experience.

might be missing something obvious here, but does anyone remember the "huge status monitor" sigma made a while back? it got used for all of like three extv casts ever and then never used again for whatever reason, despite those being the best camera'd casts i have probably ever seen

i'd really love to see that make a return, because though i realize the ones manning the camera are doing the best they can, i'd much rather see a scout picking up a few frags at the end of a fight than a soldier equalize out of mid for 5 seconds while his teammates clean up

I thought it was prior to when the match started, not right at 11.

There has been something I have been meaning to suggest, and it seems somewhat on topic here so I will go ahead.

It would be nice if the casters would do the countdown of the timer at beginning of the first round so it is easier to sync up the VOD to an STV.

i've tried using it in the past. it's tough to set up.
i'll give it another go this weekend and see if we can integrate it in.

also, interesting idea shrugger but most people who want to hear the casting are actually watching the stream. the number of people looking to sync the two up are few.
