yeah the cameraman managed to stick on the wrong person at the wrong times on the showcases i.e tombrady where like half the jumps you couldn't see from 1st person perspective bc it was on the other player.

[Oatmeal]

It was definitely one of the best jumper toth events so far.

Vexon did a good job explaining stuff, answering questions and wasn't obnoxious.
The toth guys were actually invested this time, asked good questions and filled blank spaces with jokes to keep it entertaining to the viewers.

I don't think the viewers even noticed that we had to skip so many segments in the end, they seemed satisfied.

The blind race was obviously too long, the leaderboard didn't work and nobody told the spectator guy who to spectate. The map should have been easier and maybe shorter, but you are always smarter in retrospect. It was fun to watch anyway. Next time we will do it better.

Next time for map showcases, we should try to get the person who made the map into chat. I think people will find it interesting to hear what the mapper has to say about the jumps being done. This would also get more banter since they will probably know which jumps everyone finds hard and can call out the jumpers on failing it, and the jumpers can trash talk the mappers about making a terrible map.

Good shit!!!

Wasn't guyyst

[steecatsy]

I always love to watch people jumping, it just chill me. The stream was great!!
I think you did very good job  .
Are the new accademy courses already avaible? if not when and where they will be?
Thanks and keep this way!

[protist ?]

Are the new accademy courses already avaible? if not when and where they will be?

The jump academy map is still a ways away from being finished. The final version will probably have 2-3 times as many courses as were in the ToTH version.


On another note, why don't we just put on our own jump stream some time? We wouldn't be constrained by the ToTH format and clearly we can fill a good 3-4 hours if we plan it a good month or 2 in advance. I think there is definitely enough animo in the community to organize it and with a little bit of promo through JA/tf.tv/reddit/etc we can probably get quite a lot of people watching.

We could do it after the next Jump Jam and just race on a bunch of new maps, for example. Pair it with the release of the next big jump movie and you've got hype off the charts!

I had the servers prepped and ready with the maps and basically waiting for the vexon and the casters to finish talking and switch to the appropriate servers, but that didn't happen and I get ignored, and then I'm just siting there waiting for something to mess up because the plan fell apart and then waste time fixing it.

I really want to apologize for this, I got super overwhelmed and I couldn't handle everything on my plate fast enough. Next year I will have a co-host who will help me set it all up (like the previous year with guyyst and I), and who can take some of the weight off my shoulders.

Hey im up for being a co-host, like BTS organising,  but since I don't have a mic I wouldn't be able to do any of the talking.

Is there or is there going to be an upload of the jumping segment of the stream, I was at work and missed it :c

Also they will be cutting everything up and putting the individual segments up on youtube later.

For me, the tutorial really killed the hype I had coming out of the jump movie. Instead of doing a tutorial to explain all the jumping techniques, I think a better format would be to have contests on maps like pushittothelimit so there's something happening while you explain stuff.

id be down to work on this and make a jump  movie for it

[Vexon]

the camera man always fumbles around and we end up seeing either the same jump for half the segment or missing out of parts of the map completely

This was my fault. Nolem made a plugin that shows who's in the lead but I accidentally broke it by not switching servers on jump_4dakids

[Mac-]

I like the idea of the blind race, we just need to do t3 maps instead. I think people went a bit overboard on the difficulty/confusion for this toth collab, maybe they weren't aware that it would be a blind race?
