Ya like a comment that was posted on the Youtube site itself... It would be nice to have an extra Color Commentator with me to bring more incite with my action calling... kinda like on sport events where there are two people... the Caller and the Color. During the action... I am having to call the action, watch the health bar, change the camera angles... But I understand what you mean at the begging there. I will do the best I can with these... this being my first voyage into this arena, I am taking any and all construtive critisium to make these coverage videos better. So thank you for that!

I will practice on some other matches in the mean time leading up to the April MAT Final

Good job Sabre. I don't follow PVP much, but if there are more vids like this, I will be keeping an eye on things.

Aside from the suggestions earlier, I would have to add:

1) Add a pre/post game section. the pre can discuss a bit of the Meta, and some of the builds used on the teams. That can add some info and advice for those of us who might like to engage in PVP but haven't seen a lot of the builds in action. The post can point out the Meta builds in particular scenes (like replays).

2) Do interviews with current/previous winners and finalists. Ask them about their strategies, their plans, etc. Kind of a locker room chat.

3) Get the guru mods to sticky a post with links to this, or else have guildwars.com add this to their site. You did a great job with this, and I think with a little help from them, this could be something that could be something that really gets people interested in the PVP.

I realize this is a bit of work, but from the response, I'm sure that Anet would be happy to give you some help.

Kudos, pal.

Now that is a great idea... it will give me more time to get into the meta and builds that are being used for the final, which will alow for me not to worrie as much on that integration and concintrate on the game play more. Not sure if I could get a "interview" during a "post game", but we will see. Nice one!

My only worrie, is a full 28 minute battle... I might have to "move ahead into the match" because that could take up about 35 minutes of coverage... which in youtube terms... I would go over the 10 min cap. I would have to make a part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4 to cover the entire event... commercial breaks anyone?

I have already spoken with Regina, and she said she liked it and will look into placing a note of it on the www.guildwars.com Community News and Notes

But I would not mind some Guru Mod integration with this... with this being my first venture into this MAT coverage, I didn't want to push my luck to much at first...

But now that it has shown great popularity (thank you guys) for you GWGuru Mods here, this is some stats that you should be interested in hearing about for this video (all stats are per Youtube Insight of the video as of 04/06/09)

- This video as seen over 1,700 views with 76% of the viewership comming from external sites.
- 52.5% of the overall total viewership is coming from this Guru site.
- It had over 500 views in the first 24 hours of the video being posted with 84% of the viewership comming from this Guru Site
- It is still averaging 100 views a day for the past 3 days.
- 17.32% of the overall total viewership is comming from word of mouth (IM, E-Mail or other websites/forums that I did not post on)

So what this means is that this video has seen the most exposer from this Guru site and not only are people watching mostly from this site, but they are spreading the video on their own terms which shows appreciation and populartiy. So please contact me if you would like to integrate this kind of coverage for future MATs.
