Production was absolutely amazing! Bar some audio issues which got resolved after a while, it seemed to be pretty much flawless (I wouldn't put server issues on production). The analyst desk managed to be both serious enough to be informative and useful, and yet funny and entertaining enough to get the audience through a lot of the delays - I think the combination of getawhale and war worked really well for that dynamic, and CX and admirable seem to fit in no matter what. Extine brought a lot of energy to the interviews, twitch chat loved the YAOOOOO's and it made for a great change in pace after long talks by the analysis desk. Obviously the casters also delivered great stuff as expected, and it's quite impressive their voices didn't die halfway through the event.
What impressed me the most was the smoothness of the transitions between these different sections. It kept the variety of the stream up, and seemed really well done, which contributed so much to the overall professional feel of the broadcast. I'm guessing a lot of behind-the-scenes work went into all of it, but seeing as it's behind-the-scenes, I wouldn't know too much about it. All I can say for sure is that everyone, both on the stream and behind the scenes, seemed to be doing really well, and seemed to be in exactly the right position for what they can bring to the stream. Amazing work by the entire team, hope to see the same quality (or, if somehow this trend of improving each year continues, even better) next year!

Great event, great work by everybody involved. Many of the people who did such outstanding work this weekend are doing outstanding streams every week. I would urge everybody who enjoyed this event to support those streams if you don't already. Go follow, subscribe, donate, or even just watch and participate in chat.

Any chance we could get chairs for spectators next time? :P
Jokes aside, it was really well done, good job on fixing the issues that came up for the crowd aswell.
10/10 would come to another insomnia event for tf2.

Really wish to not be a poor german busy talentless student to attend the LAN or even contributing to at least something.
Anyway, really really great event, probs to everyone involved, that's just incredible.

Thank you to everyone involved in this! This honestly felt like an incredibly unique experience, between the chemistry with the analysts and casters, as well as their knowledge of both the game and the players. The little ribs and jokes just kinda made it a really cool and personalized production.
And yes of course there were technical issues, there always are, but this was just... great. Really great.

Shoutouts to the people in production who came and did some actual work. I basically just showed up and pressed some player spec binds. You guys are the real heroes <3

Thanks everyone, this has to be the best pound-for-pound esports event in the world. So much achieved with so little resources.

Better late then never,
Production crew - great job as always, great to see you all again, sorry to those I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to.
For my friends across the pond - I hope you all got home safe.
Special shout out to Dashner, sorry that you couldn't make it, it wouldn't have happened without you.
See you all soon?
