Definitive-eSports IEM World Championships Team Liquid Coverage thread

Last week Definitive-eSports set upon covering our first live event, with James Banks at the event posting home the videos, interviews, photos and more. Things went very well for us and given we are barely three months old we have come a long way. We had fantastic interviews with players such as Feast, Dimaga and MC who gave us his famed Thor dance, Feast telling us he wants to face MMA then going up again MMA for third place and much more. However, you can see all of that below and more, what's important for us is that this was a large success and you can expect to see us at many future events.

The coverage is broken down into each of the five days we were there, day 1 is a little less full as our man on the ground had travel problems.

We were also covering the Counter-Strike 1.6 and League of Legends stuff, you can check out all that by following the above link!

Great to see Feast doing so well. MMA may be the son of Boxer, but Feast is Grubby's padawan.

MC is so BOSS.

Also, JYP's a helluva lot funnier than I'd imagined, he seems so serious during his matches that it seems like he's like that all the time xD

ZENIO SMILING. It's like watching a rooster lay an egg, breathtaking in a "HOLY MOTHER OF WHAT IN THE WHA~?" kinda way.
A time to live.

Loving the MC interviews; he's honestly the only korean payer that I feel getting an interview with is worthwhile; the rest of them are going to spit some politically correct "so much respect for my opponent, I have trained hard and I hope to make my fans proud of me" but MC is always fun to listen to.

I have to ask again though, where can I get IEM vods? I know the grand finals are up on their youtube account, but i'm looking for all the rest of them.

As wrote in the opening paragraph it's our first live event we've been to and it went very well, very well means we made a lot of friends who want to help. We got a few partnerships, stronger sponsorship interest and people wanting to help, in particular there are some people who want to help improve production value.

haha yeah, Zenio always looks so serious but when you talk to him he's always laughing and stuff, so nice to see somebody who takes winning and competing seriously but is very light-hearted and fun

James, if I could give a bit of constructive criticism. You should direct the questions at the interviewee rather than the translator. The lack of eye contact between you and MC in the later interview made MC look bored by the whole thing.

Thanks, totally willing to take any criticism. I will work on that with future translators, the whole interview was a bit rushed as MC had to shoot off with reis, his manager. Also I am looking at getting professional intros and outros for our coverage done.

Much love to the TL community

IdrA is an excellent caster, funny too. I still remember the Artosis Pylon thing.
