Just a tiny update this time.



SLTV Starseries season six ends with some truly great games. I hope everyone enjoyed the games as much as I did. Every evening I went to bed thinking "how is tomorrow going to be able to match what we've seen today" but somehow, it just seemed to never end. The final map did disappoint, but apart from that I think we might look back at this tournament as providing us with some of the best CS:GO we've seen yet.



Casting with Lurppis was once again great and I can tell from the feedback that people enjoyed his insights aswell, and it highlighted one of the main problems with NiPTV there is right now. Namely that there is no real co-caster. So I've had this idea in my mind for a while that I wanted to try and put into place. Basically I wanted to group together some good colour casters and simply rotate between them based on whoever is around on any given evening. That way there is always something new happening and people don't have to put aside every evening to cast on a schedule like I've been doing. Hopefully this is something we'll see working in the "near" future. Let me know if you have anyone you'd like me to get into contact with. So far I've spoken with Natu, Steel, Threat, Devilwalk, (and I think Lurppis for finals type games?) so if you can come up with anyone else let me know =)



I've also been spending a ridiculous amount of time the last 3 months trying to put in fiber optical cabling where I live, to further improve the stream quality and stability. It has been a crazy fight to get it done because the one ISP in Denmark that basically owns everything, TDC, actually lied to me repeatedly and said there were no cables in the group near my house. Eventually I had to find blueprints of all underground cabling in my area, look up what the different codes meant, call the local authorities to confirm that I was right. After that I put all my efforts into one e-mail saying that I would have to contact the state authorities and have them look into my suspicion that they were basically lying to me.



A day after that e-mail they called me back and said they had good news and that if I could fund the digging needed to connect me to the main cable they would authorities me on the network. YAY. So once I get the funding to do that, we can start looking at future upgrades aswell.



Next stop for me now is the LAN in Prague that is coming up next weekend, which will prove yet another challenge and hopefully also another great experience.
