VanillaTF2

Faint — Due to some of the current staff members of VanillaTV having something called ‘a life’ (I heard this is overrated anyway), VanillaTV are looking for more members of staff to join the team.

Byte — Alongside a decent premiership lineup for Season 12, we have two potential teams at the top of div 1 battling out. With players like Haunter & Stuntz from Naughty Badmen and Animal & destructo from CIDO, who will out wit who?

Tonight will be a debut match for both teams – having not played any matches yet in ETF2L, and also rumour has it (source: Animal) that CIDO have not played for a very long time. Find out what happens if CIDO lose – will they fold, or will they find the strength to recompose themselves for the rest of the season!

Join Byte & Gubbins for the cast with Comedian on the stream at 21:15, in what should be an exciting game to watch with the aid of commentary and finding out what went wrong for CrackClan and why this supposedly was their last game together before the fold reform!

Beta — I am sure you all know your alphabet by now but for those who don’t we are here to help!

In an aid to help have some steady content on VanillaTV and to help the community arrange games, we are pleased to introduce ABC Tuesday Cast.

So what is an ABC cast?  Well, this will be a regular weekly cast featuring AcidReniX & Beta with Comedian providing the streaming.  For the Tuesday…well if you haven’t guessed already, this feature will be every Tuesday.

So how does this help the community?  We continually experience issues with games arranged late and VTV being unable to provide a cast or stream.  By scheduling your games on a Tuesday and informing VTV, we will be able to provide high level commentary and streaming to the masses.

Same old stuff?  In an effort to bring the games to the masses, we will be willing to cast and stream a wide range of division games, across multiple competitions in an aid to help kill your boredom.

So what are you waiting for?  Get scheduling now and help us help you! We are not psychics, please make sure you schedule early and inform a member of the VTV staff.

CUBE — Apologies lately for the lack of content (other than the abundance of i45 coverage). I’m right in the middle of my university exams which is a good excuse I promise! Frag Movies of the Month March IS in the works but in the mean time enjoy SNSD vs Colony from the POV of TviQ.

Upvotes please!

CommanderX - We’ve been away for a few weeks but we’ve returned for the special event of Greg’s birthday. Kaidus will be joining me as usual alongside the birthday boy himself, feast your eyes on his not quite cookye like scouting in celebration of his aging. We’ll look at all the matches, cup finals etc that we have missed going all the way back to that incredible TCM vs 2strong game up to the more recent less spectacular CrackClan vs Infsued. We will also be going around the rumour mill sifting through the garbage to find the real gossip including all team transfers from fan favourites Autobots to prem giants Epsilon. Details of when and where are below, don’t miss out.

Same time as always 23:00CET

Lolita — 16Bit TF bring’s South Africa the Gamers United Cup this weekend. Following our usual one night trend this cup will take place on 13 May at 18:00 (GMT+2).

We will be giving away some DotA 2 beta keys, courtesy of Gamers United to our winners. Similar to the Face-Off competition we had last year, we have seeded our teams into a Pro and Novice bracket and have incorporated different formats into this cup, including single elimination, round robin and best of three. To check out all the details on this cup’s format and the time schedule, go to this link.

We are pleased to see some old and new teams enter including xTc|Severe, a veteran team recently acquired by South Africa’s oldest MGO Xperts@Total.Chaos.

New maps to the pool this time round include cp_croissant_b7, cp_bazillion_rc5 and cp_mainline_rc6. We’d like to invite every one to come listen in to the Pro Bracket finals.

Comedian — Well, I hope you guys are all at home, having recovered a bit from the intense weekend that was Insomnia 45. We here at VanillaTV have caught back up on some sleep, and in order to reflect back on the event we would like to gather some feedback from you, the viewer at home, so that we can improve things for Insomnia 46, which is scoping up to be a fantastic event.

Anyhow, regarding the feedback we are looking for, we have several specific points that we are looking for your opinions about which are listed below. We are looking for both things you liked and didn’t like, but in the case you did not like something, we are only looking for constructive criticism, so please try to frame your feedback in a nice way. There is a difference between giving feedback and just being plain offensive, and we hope that you will not go past this limit.
 

1. The Grand Finals – As we cannot influence the match itself (we hope), we are looking for feedback on everything around it, specifically; the introduction of the players and casters on-stage, the between map interview with elem-v, the way the cheerfuls were presented and distributed, the camerawork in-game by myself, and anything else we missed.
2. The post-processed and edited Youtube content such as the intro video, interviews, spitfire rounds, and 1v1 interviews (these are to be released!). What Did you like, what did you think could have been done better, and what is something that you would like to see at the next event?
3. Scheduling – how easy did you find it to see who/what was getting casted and find information in general?
4. Rebroadcast – We ran a rebroadcast of the day’s events during the night, so for those of you that tuned in, what did you think about it? could we have improved it, or just do it the same way?
5. The saturday night cp_toxic mix community cast – Should we have done it? Its not professional but it shows lan atmosphere and was greatly enjoyed by all people in the casting room. I do not know how it was enjoyed by the people at home, and if it is something we would want to repeat.
6. And finally, Casting – Please limit yourself to giving feedback on Pledge, CUBE and myself regarding casting done at lan. For myself, i also appreciate feedback on camera positioning and movement.

Hopefully, we will be able to gain some great feedback from this post, and improve, what was in my eyes the best coverage any TF2 event has had, to even greater standards.
