With iseries over for another 3 months, we at TEK9 networks have decided to take this opportunity to improve our coverage for the upcoming events. Basically, we would like to hear from you guys, the communtiy behind the site. What I want you guys to do is post below in the comments about the coverage for i38.
- What did you think about the coverage for this event?
- What would you like to see from our LAN coverage at our next events?
- What can we improve on?
All feedback is greatly appreciated and will be taken onboard, thank you for your time.

Spoke to you over the weekend and you always seemed busy, so its a hard job really......
umm maybe more video/audio interviews
the coverage for i36 was pretty good with the video interviews for teams.
Maybe also interviewing non direct players, like mangers or even the MPUK admins.. they had a lot to say about the fact that the game was total crap and they wanted a COD4 cup.. but the higher people in MPUK demanded a MW2 cup!!!
Also great job on the match previews, wargasam did a good job on the infused and element one!!

is that more right??
They had to have either a Call of Duty 4 ow MW2 cup for the Call of Duty series. Activision said they would give sponsorship to MPUK for MW2 and not CoD4. MPUK have had money from Activision in the past i believe for Call of Duty 4 and wanted to keep the good feelings between the companies so in future they could continue business, even if it meant having a bad LAN.
Basically Activision said they want a MW2 lan and will sponsor the LAN with computers and prize money, turns out they don't give any prize money due to low attendance (that last bit right?)
more interviews with people that have things to say that isnt the usual "hi my name is *pro gamer* and ive played for *org* for *number of months*"
not that thats ^ a bad thing, obviously still have a couple of them, but like deth said, MPUK admins and anyone that had anythin to do with the decision to make it MW2 etc
overall i read everything and listened to audio interviews which is unlike me, so GJ.
moff
Speak to the 2 team leaders after a match and ask them how the game went and how they adapted to the other teams strats. Ask them what they thought pregame and how they would go about things and how that changed ETC. Basically go into greater detail instead of doing a BBC Sport style commentary which is dull and boring IMO.
games hitting the scheduled time (or atleast arround that time) :),
more matches to improve (Y)
COD4@LANS plz.

people who don't go lan dont have a clue what its like tbh (me included)
[R] Good player
d. top player
Infused. UK nearly top player
I'd quite like to see something of general interest for controversial reasons, for instance, I can't believe you didn't interview Stuw0w on the basis of the interest of his performance offline.
I'd also like to see more 1 vs 1 interviewing, whereby you interview two fierce rivals at once, much like the X and FataL (?) CSS interview.
GJ on the coverage though, just my opinion^
great idea, would make interesting viewing for sure
also about audio interviews you have to make sure the audio is understandable for everyone. how can people not from UK understand lighters interview for an example ? i had to hear it 2 times to understand half of it. i am sure there were plenty more who didn't get a clue hearing that fast accent .
so put audio interview and write whats being said. or keep it audio only and few not english people will really understand whats being said

Id recommend looking at getting or renting a video camera. I just feel that being able to see the lan would be better for people than a audio interview, its just a bit more intimate and gives people a better idea about the event.
Also some cadred style Gonzo match recaps and articles as the event is going on would be nice, then again there was nothing to cover this time.
