Hey everyone!
I frequent Liquid Dota more than I do vanilla TL, so if you don't know me, I'm a blue (moon) over there o/ !! I wanted to reach out to y'all as we move towards ESL ONE NY this weekend.
I'm gonna be doing event coverage along with the rest of the Team Liquid Pro staff as press to do photos, social media, etc. However, aside from the TLPro stuff that I will be working on, I wanted to see who for something specific from me/us for the event and what that might be. I can't promise that I will be able to do everything since the players are locked down pretty much from the beginning to the end of the tournament (with very good reason), but I would like to be able to get the community what they'd like to see from the venue, crowd, stage, etc and get them involved in how I do coverage on a community-scale. I can guarantee that unless I get granted a gift from God himself (or Victor) that I won't be able to get back stage access because my press pass won't get me that far, but if you request it I'll still do my best to get what you want.
Ultimately, I would like to get to know the vanilla TL user-base a bit better from all of this so I'd also like to do a wrap up blog on here, too. That means, if you have any personal questions or requests those are cool as well.
So.. what do you guys want from us this event?

Interviews are the most wanted thing for me, the more the better usually.
Even if you dont get all the players you want, there are still casters, teammanagers, owners, random dudes you can pick up for that.
Back stage is the best stage, especially places you dont see often like player lounge or warm up rooms. I know that might be far to get, but if you go sneaky beaky, i believe in you!

i'll do my best to get some interview content going outside of the TLPro network. that might be a little easier said than done (especially with not being able to get back stage as press).
i just got my new camera tho so im pretty stoked to do what i can to photograph the event!

Give all your pictures to Liquipedia \Ü/ :3
Especially portrait pictures would be nice, also full squad shots.

To be honest, any Interview is good interview, but my list:
Peacemaker and the influence of the new ruleset on coaching/IGL in TL and on himself.
Olof&Dennis, because you can never have enough Fnatic/Godsent aftermath interviews.
Fer (if the language barrier is not too damn high): Influence of offtime for his play and the team?
Tarik for being in Optic
Mixwell for being the spanish guy to bring NA greatnes.
Else I could only name someone for salt mining, man CS:GO has really a big slump time.
But as I sad, every Interview you like yourself to go for is a good interview. Also Interviews with managers and coaches(specially with the new rules in place) would be could. Also the thoughts of the players about the new sounds overall (as all sounds have been reworked now) and the new updates for jumping/spraying and so on.

I just want to understand Puck. Any one who has perfect knowledge of Puck, explanation of skill, when to switch lanes, how to handle low MMR (2k-ish). Itemization of Puck, jokes about voice acting appreciated. Also, detailed basics like neutral stacking, lane pulling jungle, and solo gold rush builds.
damn i take it this is not a dota event

Update - no confirmation on interviews yet especially since liquid is still in it. Lots of pics on twitter @teamliquid.net
I have a lot of the first series but I was doing SF coverage so I don't have many pics apart from the first series 
I'm gonna be much more active tomorrow with Du out (really cool guy btw 10/10 would chill and work with him again) so my schedule is much more predictable.
