It does come down to money.

If Lange is running camera for ESEA for 12 hours, I want him to get paid.

From Enigma:

I'm not trying to dig up hate for these guys. I think what they did was completely unprofessional, but I don't hate anyone personally. I'm not sure what "misconceptions" someone else talking on a stream will solve, send me a highlight cuz I prolly won't be tuned in.

From DJC:

Why was I so pissed off and couldn't get any sleep last night? Because all of this was so avoidable!!

Really, I'm finding out about these feelings from casters who gave me a verbal thumbs up now? 4 days from the event? I publicly posted 2 weeks ago what our plan was, and MY reasoning with ESEA. NOBODY piped up with: "Hey how come you guys don't just work together with ESEA"? Had these guys maybe actually talked to me about it and raised the issue, We could have had a nice polite conversation and perhaps changed our gameplan, TOGETHER.

This shit creates so much division, which is another reason it pisses me off. Sorry to air dirty Laundry, but my viewers need to be informed about the casting change. Some drama shouldn't be swept under the rug.

ESEA didn't offer to provide any compensation for us doing the LAN as an online only thing. The fact of the matter is that what we suggested, myself and cbear being flown out and compensation for Mikal, was cheaper than our contract last season.

I honestly don't know if eXtv will be casting this LAN now, I need to process all the feedback and see how all my crew is feeling.

I got new computer parts coming in, which will let me stream on my own equipment, and a list of other projects I'd like to work on this weekend. Considering all this, it's pretty tempting to go out disc golfing Saturday Morning.

That's the spirit. Sorry it's not processed yet, but I really gotta hit the hay. Just wanna get the message out ASAP. Added an ETA, 11pm pst. Fuckin Comcast.

I gotta go to sleep. It's not uploaded yet (eta 11pm pst), but here's the link:

Enjoy waiting for it to finish uploading/processing, I'm going to sleep.

Looking forward to reading people's feedback on this tomorrow morning, and tomorrow when I get home from work.

Very disappointed in how this was handled. I don't like airing drama and usually try to avoid it, but people need to be informed about this.

Tip your bartender god dammit.

bumping this because my plans might have just changed.... ... ... will keep you up to date, but things are looking brighter.

don't worry, 'merica won't lose!

eXtv will

;)

starting now! I'm playing!

think I might be commentating?

If you wanna see me play though, here's my pov from Project X's last UGC silver match this season http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaNL0GEYkWQ

brinkFirefall is totally gonna kill tf2.

from OP's video I learned that carnage needs to smoke more weed and play more tf2.

Zak's the best.

bump bump. don't forget about this LAN.

Whats the status on chessclub/whales?

What're people up to?

Any of those teams planning on streaming? Or is everyone practicing in private?

^ cool, that's good news. I passed along the sample they gave me to Airon, our sound guy. He was fairly impressed. Like I said, I know they're still getting some stuff together. Looked at their website after seeing this thread and they have a blog post up with good news.

If you already have a comfortable headset that puts out good sound, ModMic seems like a great option.

@ #4 any of you guys been using that? I've met those dudes for beers a couple times in Portland. Very cool people. They're working hard on nailing down their neXt model.
