Nice job on the video.
Nice to see some people are still doing things like this.

And yes, nice that people still do stuff like this, keep it up.

ingame commentary on observer mode of live big matches would be a nice feature

Agreed!! I vote for Sabre Wolf. You realy made the match come alive with the comentary. Very Enjoyable.
Eragon Zarroc
i liked the commentary a lot. 
i was excited the whole match, lol. only complaint i can think of is the video quality. ;-)
moriz
the instant replay is a nice touch. it kinda illustrates just how tight that spike really was. even with the replay, that first spike still looked almost instantaneous.
good job with the commentary.

Great stuff there...I wanna see more

Yes lol, and I love the replays on the monk spikes in the early minutes

Ya we def should have commentators. It made the GW Guru tournament awesome. I loved listening to those guys, made it really interesting.
Gun Pierson
Great commentary, it really makes a difference. Nice replays on the spikes. Is there a way to increase the quality of the vid?
Gz to KMD btw.

Hey this is great! I'm pretty much a pve scrub so I get kinda lost in observe mode, but your commentary was very helpful.
Grats to both teams on a well-played tournament.

Very nice! The commentary really adds to the video. Well done!

Tolkano, is mostly fail on display of tournaments. There has been no evidence of the 1v1 tournament today.
but he did at least show the GvG and sort of on time.
This is as close as you can get from him on 1v1,
mostly these are random people every month anyway

Heh, I won't be getting many Z-keys this month, but I did have KMD and dP as #1 picks on two accounts. The more I follow the tournament, the worse my picks get.

Thank you all very much for your replies! It makes me happy that my staying up till 2am after a 10 hour work day to get this coverage out as soon as possiable was welcomed and appreciated by many. In the 13 hours the video was online, it had over 230 views. I am very happy, and because of the 100% positive feed back I am getting, I will be planning on doing more of these in the future. I have also sent a message to ANET/NCSoft with a link to the video in hopes that possiably the coverage can be integrated there in some way... I do miss the skill usage sheets that have been discontinued.
I have wondered that myself... usually Youtube is a little faster on "Processing" the video into HQ... but for some reason, 13 hours later, no dice. I am hoping that Youtube will be converting it into a full HQ quality (like other matchs I have posted on there) tomarrow (Monday) which is a normal work day. If not, I will send a message in hopes that it will be pushed into a better quality. The HQ looks good in full screen mode, so I will do what I can to have them boost it... but its really out of my hands at this point, and the ball is in Youtube's court...

Felt like watching a game on TV instead of waiting to see how either team won. Commentary was nice, as was the instant replay and was overall informative. Just some things you may want to look into:
1) Try to tell the audience what sort of strategy both teams are using (i.e., spike, split, hex/condi pressure) Helps to give your viewers some more insight on what is being ran and what to expect.
2) Video quality
3) Maybe (big maybe, don't have to do it) also say the in-game name of the player you are referring to (like instead of saying 'Red 4' you could say 'Person McPlaceThing')
Really glad someone is doing this. Convenient and entertaining. Please keep it up!

Well done, that was pretty awesome.
Don't really think doing names is necessary. People know what you're talking about when you say 'nec,' 'ele,' 'monk 1,' or 'monk 2.' I'd probably end up getting confused if you started calling them by their names.

I mean, in the terms of 1v1 where in like this month's final, there was 3 Monk Heros and the player... so at that point, I would call the names, because everyone knows who Taulk, Ogden and Donkey are...
Which BTW... I am not going to Commentary Vid the 1v1 event since it was just a cap feast and no kills... just walking around, shadow stepping, and cat and mouse capping... kinda dull IMO...

^do it anyways. instant replays of shrine capping in slo-mo would be hella badass! ^__^
DreamWind
Very good. I actually thought about doing this on a regular basis back in the day but I never got around to it. I thought it would be a good thing to get more people into PvP.

HQ now available!

I wish something like this was there from day 1 of MAT. Hell, from day 1 of observer mode.

That was amazing. Great idea and wonderful job. Hope to see another next month.

I got a 40Mo mp4 file from youtube, the animation is perfect, but picture quality got seriously degraded, as is often the case often on youtube. Is there a way for you to upload the original file to a file-hosting website such as www.rapidshare.com ?
Slabby
Gratz on the amazing video, I really enjoyed it.
jammerpa
Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to post the vid with commentary. Much more exciting than watching it on observer mode.
Looking forward to April's MAT play by play

Observer + Commentary = The way to promote GvG as an esport.
Big shame that over all those years very few videos like this were produced.
Idea for GW2 : Integrate commentary to ingame observer mode - uploaded for major tournaments by official or approved sources only, hearing it optional for the watchers, synced with the game timer.
A real interactive GWTV, make watching obs really interesting.

Rawr on 8 you gotta be kiddin me there goes my zkeys nice video btw
nice video btw

Once again, thank you all for the gracious words of support of me making this video!
Like I might have mentioned in a past posting, I did send a message to the Community Group (hopefully Regina) via the support ticket to ANET with a link to the video on Youtube... I will try to follow that up since the video has over 540 views in less then 24 hours... which for myself I could cry for how happy that has made me
. I have talked to Regina off and on in the past, and I am in hopes to be able to catch her in the near future about this topic. Currently, the Helpdesk site is down for NCSoft... so I guess that will have to wait.
I do have a 25GB Sky Drive server (courtesy Microsoft)... so I could upload the file there for the orginal version of this video which will be clearest and the best quality I know of to put on the internet... HOWEVER... this would involve downloading the file for others (slower process), and the potential of other persons posting the video without protection onto various other sites (like Youtube) there by attempting to steal the video, and pass it off as their own. This has happened to me before and again quite recently... so due to that reason... I can not upload it that manner untill I can find a way to maintain the best quality possiable while protecting my partcial rights to the video due to the work I put into it... For now, the only place I know of is Youtube. But this is also why I am in hopes that Regina, or ANET in general, will help me in some way with this endevor, leading up to the the April MAT. Which for us Senior GW Players, thats the biggest month of the year for Guild Wars because that is also Guild War's Birthday.
Again, thank you for all your support and kind words! That is probably the best way to show ANET that there are many people like you out there wanting this kinda of "media coverage" for these kinds of events.

Great commentary i smiled the whole vid. Really enjoyed it.
Chilly Ress
Nice job with it - the only reason I actually watched the final, thanks.
Shadow Slave
I watched this earlier ~ nice work 
- with the obvious quality issue I just had GW open at the same time in Obs Mode and let you commentate in the background xP
I appreciate you've already answered this too, but it would be greatly improved if you threw in the players names occasionally - gj though.
