HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

Yes the production from the stream's point of view was riddled with problems to the point of frustration. A majority of matches started half-way into the midfight. Game audio levels were too low for a majority of the lan except for grand finals. Spectating errors where a camera would get stuck on one player for too long, or you'd have the picture-in-picture with both screens displaying the same feed.

There were some of those prerecorded bits I thought to be completely unnecessary and added nothing to the stream. "The marriage game" felt so shoehorned in and had no substance, why not just get more interviews with more players? On day 2 the guys on the couch cut to a pre-recorded segment of Dr.Happiness literally saying "Yep it's day 2 at LAN the games have gotten started and production is under way :)". What did this add to the stream? Why even put it in there?

On day three after the Ora Elektro vs SVIFT match you guys left the camera on Grumpykoi, Samski and Ombrack for an hour and 10 minutes whilst we waited for the next match to start and throughout the entire interview you can see Grumpy desperately trying to pull new topics out of his ass to keep the interview going. Why was this interview not cut short after MAX 30 minutes to one of those "stream resumes in X" screens? Was it so necessary to put an hour and 10 minutes of the same 4 interview questions phrased differently on stream?

Like OP said in the title, no disrespect. Thank you very much for producing this for us, but please learn from these shortcomings to make future productions of iseries better should Essentials continue producing them...

holy fuck this gf is closer than I could have ever imagined

Hello I just bolted it for 15 minutes to home from work in order not to miss grand finals.

Do we really have to wait 2 hours just so finals can take place on the main stage???

Hello TFTV is still slow can this be looked into please : (

I'm currently the only 'active' person in the community from Malta as far as I know. Some players have told me they've played with other players from Malta in the past. Never talked to or heard of any myself.

how djd you manage tot ype this post if u forgot ur keyboard ??????

I chose not to go to LAN this year and I'm lowkey regretting it, but at the same time since I don't play TF2 anymore I'd find myself a bit bored just spectating :(

Nonetheless I hope you all have a great and amazing time and remember if you're going to fall asleep/pass out inside the hall make sure you do it somewhere the security guards can't see you ;D

I'm so proud Matt is finally playing on LAN and with such a great roster too :3 Guaranteed pounding (unless he chokes)

A tjing I've noticed a lot of 5 ping players do is when they have 5 pings they say "I have 5 pung :D"

Thanks for sharing. It gets dark at 5PM in the winter over here. Would love at least an extra hour to enjoy the daytime instead of being forced to hermit indoors all winter.

For those asking, the guitar is a Yamaha FG345, my father got it in his teens and he's in his sixties now. Honestly can't tell you guys what gauge the strings are, I haven't changed them in years (I love the sound of dead strings, and these ones in particular just feel right). The strings detune when I'm not using the guitar and only during the summer. I leave the guitar in a stand when not in use. Would it be better to leave it in my black soft case and leaning against the wall, in the coolest room I can find?

The strings are not detuning A LOT between every session, just on especially hot days it's noticable that the heat has taken it's toll on the strings.

Our basement is incredibly humid since it's mostly sealed shut until we need to use it. Not an ideal environment for an instrument.
