Certainly informative, didn't know seagull was like a God soldier even in s3. I think he pretty much carried fully torqued and made incredible plays by himself like killing both scouts and then forcing the med, and managing to surf away with just like 5 health or something.

I'd like to give everybody an update on the progress of Ready Up since 4 months ago when the project was announced. With the help of Marketplace.tf, we were able to fly out Tagg and I to film Multiplay's i58 for coverage. We've managed to gather some fantastic B-roll, in which some were featured in emkay's i58 Highlight Movie. I'd like to thank Tagg for all the footage he managed to get at i58 with the technical restrictions we had; our LAV mics didn't ship from the rental company, so we had to borrow Ash and Arie's stuff. I'd also like to thank Arie and Bones for their own footage that they took at the event.
We also decided to film Tip of the Hats footage for interviews with some prominent production people, as well as figureheads or former figureheads of the competitive Team Fortress 2 community. Some time later, Dashner and I flew out to ESL New York for a CS:GO tournament - and mind you, this was supposed to be our goddamn vacation. But we realized we could film some interviews with some figures of note in the eSports world - figures who understand TF2. Here's a sample reel Dashner made of Sadokist and Na'Vi with our footage. There's 2 more events related to competitive TF2 that's coming up that we want to cover and get important interviews for: Esports' Arena's Rewind! to check out the first NA LAN for 2017, and Blizzcon to get some classic history to mix things up.
This is where I wanted to update people the most on: the focus from this being strictly a production-related documentary has shifted to a much grander picture. As a result, I'm renaming the tagline from Ready Up: Producing Competitive Team Fortress 2, to Ready Up: Competitive Team Fortress 2. I realized it when I was interviewing Bloodsire that there's more to TF2 than just the players or the LAN productions.
If I had to best sum it up without giving too much away, this will be a retrospective that highlights the strength of the 2015-2016 years of competitive Team Fortress 2 - with a structure I have called Four C's. Given that this game has also survived on the overabundance of forced alliteration, we figured it was appropriate.
These Four C's are:
- Community: a game that thrives on its people
- Contrast: a game that appears smaller when compared
- Charity: a game that is notable for its generosity
- Competition: a game forged with fighting spirit
These C's are the current storytelling structure of how we'd like to tell Ready Up. Community and Competition would focus on events such as DHS, i58, and Rewind. Charity would focus on Tip of the Hats. Contrast would focus on ESL NY and Blizzcon. Every interview and every piece of B-roll that we've filmed, every event that we've managed to cover or that has been brought about by TF2's community, would rotate around these Four C's to come together to tell the story about why Team Fortress 2 is the FPS underdog in the eSports world.

Again, thank you to everybody involved in this project, including Geel and Marketplace.tf, our camera crew, and the people who graced us with such insightful interviews. Thank you as well to everybody who continues to support this project - TF2 means so much to many of us, and if this documentary taught me anything through the struggles, it's that it has helped in many ways that not everybody might know. I want to make sure more people know.

pendawhere and when was the interview with redeye?
We filmed ReDeYe's interview at ESL New York in a hallway since Barclay's security was unforgivably strict on where we were able to film. Here's a photo Dashner took while we were filming.

Reading these lines gives me the impression this is some top notch stuff. Worthy of being put on steam the way Dotas 'Free to Play' documentary was, exposing it to the great masses.
One can dream...
