just as a idea, can you add "team A vs Team B" in text before each video incrustation on the first post so we can see ?

example:

Round 6 - Prokharovka

see? you cant see both team names at the youtube preview, you need to "play" the video to know who fights who.

i know isnt something critical or very important, but will be easy to identify wich teams did fight on wich video.


sry my english

Also, if needed I could always send the losing POV but that's usually not as entertaining... plus I went back on defense

I had thought that I learned my leason with 1CD but I guess I didn't.  You guys kind of psyched me out and I thought you were pushing our base w/+/- 7 heavies so I flexed two T110's that would have been assaulting back to defense.  From my view we were still doing fine as I pushed to clear your assault force but that was a huge mistake and probably cost us the battle.  After passing the tracks I noticed only two of our tanks left on the assault and at that time we were too seperated to save the IS7 or T92.  I should have never tried to clear two sides at the same time or have my defense go past their defensive position but at least I'm re-learning that lesson in the regular season.  I still need to go over the assault teams replay to see what went wrong but school has taken over at the moment.  Matches like that (and 1CD) make me wish that the regular season games were best 2 out of 3.

gg VPG and looking forward to seeing you again in the playoffs (hopefully).

For the regular season here it isn't really necessary unless there are some nice plays in there that he can put in the highlight reel later. When we move into the playoffs we'll want as many POVs as possible so that we can crank up the production quality for the really intense battles that will surely come.

I feel for you here.

I made a bad call midway through our one loss and it's been haunting me ever since. Especially since that one loss is going to cost us the division title, it keeps picking at me.  

I guess that's how we learn.

GL moving forward.

It was a tighter match than it seemed. We had five tanks left, but three of them were critically damaged (my T110 at 12hp, Maus at 381hp, and IS-7 at 500hp). I think your defense effort was fine, especially the counterattack; it allowed you to secure your base, and you could've then advanced the defensive tanks through the city to apply pressure and box us in. However, the assaulting force - mainly the T110s - seemed too aggressive and they were knocked out going after our entrenched defenders, which allowed our own counterattack to succeed. Remember, you had arty and we didn't, so slowplaying works in your favour. A few more arty rounds and another living tank would've tipped the battle. Don't beat yourself up - get that win next week, and grab that wildcard. ;)

The replays I was able to collect have been sent.

Week 8 fights added.

Nagatron and myself will be looking at doing the Shock and Awe vs FSS later tonight, came a little late for me to get everything in for the Wednesday release.

lmao, it kinda was. We were running very close to not fielding a full team that night, so my lineup changed about 5 times. I basically threw that strat together in about 5 minutes, if that. Also there were a couple minor audibles when we saw their lineup.

And my 50-2 completely backfired. No one that was on had a really good setup in it or wasn't comfortable playing it on Ensk, so I ended up switching into it with only a 50% camo crew. It was probably for the best though, since it made it much easier to call out targets. And the T92 was in A4 the whole time, that big damage hit you thought was the T92 was from the E100 (same one that got the kill).

After having watched your commentary on SGLE's battle, I must say that I am highly offended at your implication that we were not the epitome of courtesy towards 3T. Even if they did send nothing but fast T10s and then complain about us camping.

I apologize for any misunderstanding with the additional chat blocking box to cover up extra text. In the future I will ensure it is titled "Special Edition, Definitely Not Because of SGLE, Anti-Trolling Chat Blocker."

hey relics, isnt there any NO CHAT mod so you can use instead of hiding chat with images?

its ok you use some logo text of yours, but the sqare was tooo big that battle  :P so any NO CHAT mod will be great for you to record the shoutcast


its just a idea

Another excellent shout cast, glad my guys were able to send in the video this week, i had family function so wasn't able to get on top of them about it. Anyways always love seeing TSF in these win or lose.

Already on it, creating a separate mod file specifically for shoutcasting.

Sorry for the delay folks, running a bit behind on production. I hope to have them all uploaded this evening.

Fantastic, These are almost as good as playing the games themselves. Thanks to you and Nagatron for this

Relics I like to watch your shoutcasts but I have one gripe about them:

Stop being so nice whenever a team makes a mistake! I've seem some incredibly poor play and some bad tank setups and when that happens the commentary is always 'this is interesting/unusual, they have a fascinating strategy here!'

You and I both know that if a team brings a KV-1 and Lee and the other team brings a Bat Chat, the second team made WAY better use of 9 points.

Some of the choices (tank composition especially) are bad and I'd really enjoy hearing it like it is from the commentators instead of the 'every strategy is valid, all tank compositions are equal' politeness.

For instance there is one team that brought a Pershing, AMX-50-100, a Tetrarch and an E-75. They played okay and made a fight of it and at the end you ask your friend 'what could they have done differently to win?' and he says something about killing the enemy scout quicker. The obvious answer is that they should have brought more optimal vehicles! If they brought say a Bat Chat, T95 and a Patton they might have won!

Sometimes they only have so much they can choose from though...
It is true that some tanks aren't good at all in comparison with equal or combined tier points.

Dunno what sort of commentator he should be (currently he is awesome imho, but I am just one person...), maybe add a third, "meaner" commentator that is an expert? =3 Garbad? Liebestod self? =D

Also yay for work put in by Relics and Nagatron =D
People should + them more =3 Share on FB and other places.

I said this to him the other day. I liked his "OH, looks like we took a wrong turn here" comment... hahahahah.

There's a fine line that Relics does a great job balancing. Remember, this is sort of "beta" for these guys right now and it's only going to get better. These have gotten SOOOO MUCH better throughout the season.

There was actually one replay that we tried to do, but cut out because I couldn't make it through my half of the tank list without laughing. We're getting more comfortable with this as time goes on, but we'd originally promised not to embarrass anyone who sent us replays. Without them we wouldn't be able to do this anyways so it is only natural.

If you watch the commentary for our own battle this last week we're a lot less hesitant to point out mistakes, but we still don't really bash anyone much.

Yeah well if you have to be polite, then you have to do it. I understand.

I'm just conveying how it feels to me when I watch the videos. Sometimes the comments are too nice and they leave me feeling o_0

I guess BarooM is right it is kinda humorous
