is it still 1h time frame for 30min bo1 because that seemed like way too much to me in the past as a spectator/caster, lots of downtime where people just have to wait for anything to happen, idk how that is for the players themselves but purely from a spectator standpoint it would mean less starring at transition screen (also gemm gets less time to meme on production which is for the best of all of us)

On some level I agree, but at least for the players it's nice to have time to go to the bathroom and move around a bit. There's tons of TF2 media lying around, I don't see why TFTV Essentials can't just play frag vids and videos like Ready Up, or even old stuff like the i46 doc. Also if we keep getting frontpaged I think it'd be nice to play this in between every game

tftv =/= Essentials, 2 very seperate entities
Also I know in the past I've played the i58 and i49 frag movies from beater, and iirc we have permission from him to run his frag movies. I know it probably would have been a good thing to run during the 2 hour delay we had during day 1 of last month's NA monthly, but I'll make sure to have some ready to queue up during downtime if necessary again.

The weird little friction between TFTV and Essentials is kind of a mystery to me, sorry. Can you guys get permission to run other TF2 media as well? I really think playing documentaries and real hype videos would be way more beneficial than just straight up frags (not that frags aren't a million times better than just the transition screen).

I actually disagree. As a player, it was a huge time commitment to be around for like 6 hours. I would have definitely preferred to play a little less or have a little less downtime. I wasn't able to play the second time around as a result. It's a tough balancing act, but the amount of time required didn't fit very well for me or my team.

The April EU monthly is this weekend and we're still sat at 0 teams, the NA monthly is sat at 6. I know it's the off season, but this tournament will prove the communities commitment to sponsors and therefore the need for continued support.
We can only run the tournaments if we get 16 teams, so please get your teams signed up. We're close to bringing a lot more sponsors to TF2 but it starts with the help of the players.
