I haven't seen a proper feedback thread yet, and I want to write down my thoughts before I forget everything...

Good LAN

• Truktruk's casting was really good.
  
• The analysis of Kaidus/Showstopper was phenomenal. This aspect of the big TF2 lans just keep getting better.
  
• Low downtime on the stream.
  
• The games between Froyo and Se7en was enjoyable.
  
• From what I saw of the eXtine-interviews, they were a lot better than at i58. Better flow between the questions, etc.
  
• EVL stepping up to challenge Se7en.

Bad LAN

• The sound mixing on the analyst desk. Getawhale was a lot louder than the other analysts, most notably Kaidus/Showstopper. Some discrepancy is fine, but now and then it was so big that I adjusted the volume of the stream depending on who spoke.
  
• On that same note, Getawhale interrupted the other analysts too often, instead of letting them finish their thoughts.
  
• Slin's bias against Se7en was too noticable.
  
• The observing was slightly off towards the end of the lan.
  
• That weird sliding between spectated players that was used sometimes was... weird? Idk, it didn't really add something for me. Perhaps it's a thing that you have to get used to.
  
• The transitions from casters to analysts were too drawn out sometimes. Imo they should happen more or less immediately after the game.

I think it's due to traditions. The i-series has become an institution over the years. Imo there was less hype for this lan beforehand than the i-series usually gets.

Also, is this about the same level of viewership that the old ESEA lans used to have?

The dutch Pirate Party needs more signatures to be allowed participating in the elections coming up. In december, opinion polls showed that they have the possibility of earning a place in parliament. Please help them out even if you're not a pirate yourself!

What is the context of these documents?

Sorex on Lemmings? What happened to LEGO?

Shame about no Team Finland. Will be watching anyway, of course.

I recommend reading some over at https://aeon.co/essays

It looks like the Pirate Party will be part of Iceland's next government after the election tonight. :)

I think it's reasonable with a wider variety of maps in MM than in the leagues. I don't mind if they include old comp maps like Obscure or Freight, and I think the wider community enjoys playing the odd A/D map like Gravelpit too.

Does it feel like BC2 at all? That was the best BF I've ever played tbh. Maybe 1942 or BF2 can compete, though.

Mushrooms, paprika, onions, and loooots of cheese

I think he's always said that it's been a question of scheduling.

I don't think these are all the tour dates.

It honestly amazes me how the US produces such bad candidates for president.

Wtf. Seltzer still doing e-sports. I had no idea...

Looks like a good update
