I still want reckoner

He's a good dude. Has potential. Respect the goal of playing advanced, today I'm not sure he's ready but with the work he puts in, by season start he should be.

Bump:

Not playing roamer again, back to scout. Looking at my options for S7!

I stopped getting them to put lettuce on mine at one of the ones in town because its a minivans worth

If you're into reading books as well, it's based off a book series and both are brilliant. The writers are heavily involved in the show and make changes accordingly, so they're similar and different enough to thoroughly enjoy both.

Bring back Cloudmaker and MrOwl

TF2 has finally peaked. We can all go home now.

Congrats to Reno on being the new 6s admin

And Good luck!

There's this really weird level of tension and animosity between TFTV production and invite and I think part of it comes from the cycle of heads through TFTV NA. There were some people in TFTV that very much clashed with invite personalities, and I think some of that gets pushed down the ladder or into the next man ups head, and at the same time sours the invite players perceptions of TFTV on whole. It's very easy for am us vs them mentality to exist. For example, B4nny has had his fair share of clashes with tftv people over the years, especially some of the more outspoken ones. Overnight TFTV could be completely overhauled and have 100% new people, but that animosity may still exist because of the organization on whole still being tftv even though none of the people are the same. Flip the roles and the same can still exist where jaded tftv people lump teammates together or team names together or invite players on whole. I guess it's sort of engrained at this point? I really don't know. I don't have any real solution, and being as I'm not involved in either party I couldn't do anything if I had one haha

This IM one really confuses me. How is denying a someone who is in the division playing an offclass that they're eligible to play in the division allowed?

Like I could understand if it was a player a division higher, or a player banned on that class in their division, but that's kind of insane.

Don't get me wrong, their system is better than ESEAs, where I used Yui for two matches and had to play against stark in open, but I feel like you shouldn't be able to deny someone offclassing within their own division, especially on medic.

I feel so bad for Bungalow Alert, last week of the season, playoff spot they're holding on the line, and they draw BOTH RGLtf2 and Karasuno. That's a tough week.

His posts in this thread makes me even happier that Flatline had to play because I couldn't

Every time I think "maybe i'll cast this game alone on my twitch" or "maybe I'll do my own camerawork for something" I immediately nope out because it's awful.

I should clarify, doing the camerawork alone isn't awful, but it takes a lot more brainpower and a lot of focus. Now layering casting overtop? My casting is always awful when doing both because it's such a burden. Love your producers, cherish producers because it means I can float in 3rd person.

One thing I think that makes people hesitant to try actually casting or producing, is there's an expected level of quality for RGL and TFTV streams. Chat can be ruthless if a caster says something that is objectively wrong, and how many times have we seen complaints about watching powerpoint instead of a cast? That's not a bad thing, as it holds the top level orgs accountable, but I could definitely see that backlash also serving as a detractor from people who want to try.

What I think should happen, is either another TFTV channel like TFTVDevelopmental or even a new organization that is focused on growing talent. Yeah the broadcast quality may suck, yeah the cameraman may miss everything, yeah the casters may be bad, but they're trying. Back when I first got into casting, I started with early days EVLTV, and that was their focus at the time. They didn't care what experience you had, they'd take anybody who wanted to try. Twitch chat tended to be supportive too because they knew EVL=Not great quality, but it was at least casting the IM game they wanted to watch. Ultimately the people who tried got better, and guys like Me, Flatline, Row and a couple others ended up doing stuff for TFTV or doing LANs.
