In about 24 hours the Winter Assembly tournament will go live in Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki. With the first match kicking off at 16.30 CET on Friday, and the last one starting at 19.30 CET on Saturday (with possible delays), we will have a solid 29 hours of TF2 ahead of us this weekend! TF2 TV will be live on the spot to cover this, as Patrick "ThePledge" Fuchs will travel to the venue to cover all the matches! This post will give you an overview of all the games casted, casters, and the times where you are supposed to tune in for the epic special matches! Keep reading for all the info!

TF2TV will try to cover all the important matches with priority, and all the other matches when everything will be right on schedule. This means that I will keep everyone up to date about delays and anything like that through TF2TV.com and our irc channel #tf2tv. Admirable will also be live on the spot to cover the event for Cadred, so also keep an eye on that - cadred.org.

Right, on to the schedule for the tournament and for the games we'll cast 100% sure and the games we will cast if everything runs fine:

+= low-priority cast, might not be casted ++= high priority cast, will probably be casted no matter what

Note that the semi finals and the grand+bronze final are exactly at the same time. I will see what I can do about these extremely important matches, as I truly feel these games deserve the coverage that they, like this, won't get. Once again, stay tuned to both TF2TV.com and Cadred.org for the coverage from me and Admirable respectively.

That should be it for now - for any questions or other information just visit the assembly website at http://www.assembly.org/winter11/ or come and ask me in irc during the event at #tf2tv !

Some other coverage news from the Russian front: From early Friday morning Galant will also cover the trip to and the crazyness at WASM in his blog: competitf. There will be some photos and videos during Friday and Saturday, and while the main things will be in Russian, the pictures are obviously for everyone to see! Big shoutout to Galant!

PS. Yes - I didn't fully write the finnish mixteam name (its Pentaerytritolitetranitraatti) ;)
