Only watched the code S finals recap but I really enjoyed it, greating commentary style!

Have you considered making this a regular thing? As in, a weekly (hell, bi-weekly!) summary of major leagues/showmatches? Might be a bit of a problem with volume of content and obtaining permission but it would be really cool to see. Of course, you'd still need separate bulletins for big lan tournaments.

Looking forward to whatever you guys produce in future!

We have considered doing this for other tournaments. The thing is, the process of producing high quality recaps like this is that it takes a lot of time.

1. Bill McHale and Reece Flexner write the script, they basicly write literally exactly what I say during recaps. This takes them 4-6 hours. They have to watch all the games, take notes, and then write things up nicely.

2. Myself (Kaj Landman) voices the scripts they made, I'm european, they're american, so there are sometimes some timezone issues. It takes me about an hour to voice and encode the audio files.

3. I send the voice files to Mike Nguyen who is the video edditor and he also watches all the games, takes about the scenes which are being discussed in the audio, and lines everything up nicely. He also adds all overlays and intro's/outro's. I would imagine this takes him somewhere between 2-4 hours.

As you can see the process involves 4 sometimes even 5 persons which makes it even more time consuming. That is why it's hard for us to do more than just the GSL Code S. Another reason why we don't do this for other tournaments is that the demand is just much much lower. But we will take anything in consideration, suggestions are welcome!
