Okay guys, after some long hours over the midnight oil London_Calling and I have finally come up with an acceptable "first run". Attached below are writeups on every playoff Open team.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/1r8qdx
Download the .pdf write-up from this link, and let me know what your thoughts on it were. If there are any pieces of advice you'd give me for future writeups in S14 do not be hesitant to give them out here as well. Competitive TF2 writing should not be one individual writer dictating what is broadcast into the internet, but rather a communicative and collaborative effort involving more than one writer/editor. Furthermore, I hope this write-up can help get more people into the lower ESEA levels so that we continue to have a steady build-up of new talent into the community.
Thanks for the support and interest into our work.
enigma - I don't know you, but if editing needs to be done to move this into the news column, let me know what has to happen and I'll get it done.

Thank you Radium and London_Calling for the wonderful write ups :) And I will try to prove I'm a good scout too but I kinda broke my 120hz monitor last night but I'm sure I can do without it :P

Great write ups. With the roster moves some playoff teams have had recently, it should provide some really good games. Good luck to everyone.

My march schedule is a little hectic so we are just gonna cruise through the upper bracket so we play as few games as possible ;)
Great write up guys. Please do this for ESEA next season. This is the kind of stuff the league needs.

A few things:
- Grammar was overall pretty good, though there's still some awkward phrasing and other errors to be ironed out.
- The paragraphs on the left side of the page for the page-long articles cut off after a while. (edit: it's all of the ones that go all the way down the left, not just playground's article)
- The overall length of the articles varies a lot between the two of you; while both of you have your respective styles and that's fine, the length difference is somewhat jarring to the reader. Not a huge deal or anything, but for next article try to normalize the brevity and depth of the writing between the two of you a little more.
- The format is visually pleasing, but try to keep the empty space to a minimum.
- It's "friskybird34." Oh my fucking god. Are you TRYING to make him dysphoric?
- Your analysis of the various teams is pretty good on a whole, and well-researched (except for above), which is the important part. I think new-faith church is better than you guys give them credit for though.
I edit translations in my free time--if you guys need a hand in the editing side of things, I'd be all right with helping if you need it. This was pretty fun to read.

well done guys, thank you

great read, though, fuzion is roamer for rent-a-homies and nyvves plays scout.
extracrispy also brings a lot to the table in comms department and leadership role of the team

Fixed the errors about page cut-offs. Also fixed the nyvves/fuzion name error - good catch, typhus.

Yeah, I was wondering that myself. You both are able to do both roles, so it was a bit of a ? in my opinion.
Walka's jumps are going to be fun. I'll update this during my next edit.
