A few months ago, we at ESL ran the first season of the RaidCall EMS One CS:GO tournament. We also held our first successful offline tournament in our state of the art studio here in Cologne. On the whole, the community really enjoyed the whole two day experience, both online and those who turned up to the studio to watch.



Of course, despite delivering a good show, we want to improve it even further this coming weekend and have made some small, but important additions to the show.



One of the great pieces of feedback we got was this: "Why don't you guys use an observer, just like Starcraft and LoL do?". Well, this is actually a great idea and one we have worked on providing over the last few weeks, looking at various options of how it could work practically and who the hell would we be able to get to come and do it?



For those not in the know, it can be hard to do the observing while also commentating, but far easier if the "camera" in CS:GO is driven by a third party, someone who knows the game and understands the "viewers" wants and needs. At the same time, working in a full production studio for a TV company would also require a working knowledge of TV production too. It was clear our job of finding someone perfect would be tricky.



A week ago, I had a conversation with Anders from NiP TV. Someone I have watched grow as a caster recently and improve a lot. He is also one of the few casters who, in my opinion catches more of the action than most (me included). I wondered if he would be up for travelling to Germany this coming weekend to do the "observer" role. Sadly, despite agreeing, a family commitment came up for Anders, so we are back to square one.



This is where you guys can help, should you choose to do so. We are looking to hire someone for the coming season 2 finals of RaidCall EMS One to do just the observing. This would include all matches on both days and some driving of the camera during analysis segments of the show. It really is pretty straight forward, however, we can't gamble on someone.



So, if you know someone or you have a great idea of someone who could do the "observing" for us, please leave a comment in this post, stating why and if at all possible, linking to either your own or someone you nominated's videos showing off their observing skills.



Unfortunately due to budget and time, we can only offer this to someone reasonably local to us in Cologne and by that I mean mainland Europe.



If you can help us out, I'd really appreciate it :)
