While I understand that would increase viewer count, it wouldn't solve the problem that post #65 brings up. I agree with him but I don't think I can come up with an easy solution. This is definitely something that needs to be discussed moving forward.

My first thoughts would be an automated camera for delayed STV. It would allow for the camera/streamer to focus on more production related things, while allowing casters to have another resource for play by play commentary. However, this would only be useful for online matches and not the most viewed games which are on LAN.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what could/should be added to improve the viewing experience.

Match has been pushed back to 11:30. It might get moved to Sunday.

I'm sorry you're so upset dashner. My apologies.

They wouldn't have made top 16 anyway.

Damn the google translate lady lied to me.

Game is live now if you want to watch: connect 54.86.245.166:29449

I was informed the match was rescheduled to 10:30, 20 minutes ago. Flatline also told me he is having internet issues so instead of scrambling to throw together a shitty solo cast we're calling it for tonight.

Can we PayPal you money?

EDIT: I just used your twitchalerts page: https://www.twitchalerts.com/donate/sideshow

Check the slack. I also added you for this season. You're more than welcome to come cast more.

Fixed it.

Apologies for all the troubles with the match pages. I kinda had all this stuff dropped on my lap last minute before the season started. I think I'm getting the hang of it now though, more matches should be posted much earlier (and hopefully with less mistakes) in the near future.

From what I've read, your average player is having a lot of trouble getting out of rank 1. I think that's primarily due to the ranking system being flawed. It's a ladder system that doesn't have a placement period like CS:GO, everyone starts at the bottom so the skill level of rank 1 games is all over the place. I imagine it's very discouraging to newer players. On top of that the game runs very poorly in matchmaking. I think if these two things are remedied, the matchmaking experience for your average TF2 player will be much more fulfilling.

There will be a cast when shade can confirm that they are actually playing. If you'd like to watch the STV it'll be on this page when the match goes live: https://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=6890715

Yeah, I removed all of the referral links.

I could care less who the ambassador for this game is as long as the game ends up being awesome. Regardless of what b4nny's position is, Valve has been consistently doing a lot of little things right ever since the Gun Mettle update and that's all that matters to me.

My mom is dealing with a dry socket right now. How long did it take to recover? It's been about a week and her face is still swollen and she seems to be in immense amount of pain.
