Yo, just popping in here real quick on behalf of the Media Team to keep people up to speed on what we've been up to and what we've got coming moving forward.

Media Team Expansion

First and foremost, I'd like to welcome @MarlinMakeMKGreatAgain to the Media Team! Marlin has an extensive history of casting Mario Kart events and he'll be joining us as one of our casters and stream hosts moving forward. All applications are welcome, I want to make some room for more staff because the demand is going to be going up in the near future. This just the start of our recruiting for new casters, because we're ready to go full throttle into casts and streams!

With more casts means more VODs! Every cast we've done so far has been uploaded to the MKCentral YouTube Channel for your playback needs. On top of that, we have some folks on the team who are doing a ton of video editing to make some pretty sweet videos and montages. And so, we have a new role on the Media Team, and thats our Video Editor/Producers! If you think you can make some really nice content for us, you can now apply to become one of our editors.


Media Team - Upcoming Plans

After some discussion and planning, the Media Team is ready to cast on a more frequent basis. We're going to be covering MKU and Amplify weekly starting this upcoming weekend! We plan to cast matches from both the Premier Bracket and the Amateur Bracket, we want to include everyone and give everyone the attention they deserve. Starting in Week 6, we're also going to be casting MKU matches every week until the season ends, with no restrictions on what divisions we cast!

We may ask at times that matches be played at alternate times. This is to make sure that we can have the community tune in to watch without being distracted by their own matches, and to make sure that we have staff on hand for the same reason. If we think your match is worth being casted and request to cast it, we'll get a hold of you ahead of time, so we can work out the details closer to the match.

Stream List

We want to know who we can reach out to for match streams, so I've just released a thread where you can post your Twitch channels for us to watch! You can find that thread here.

On top of having that list, we're in the midst of putting together our MKCentral Auto-Host list on the Twitch channel. We want to make sure that MKCentral has content to offer all hours of the day as well as showcase our community, so with your contributions, we're working to make that happen! If you want to be a part of it, make sure you provide your Twitch channel in the thread linked above!

That's all for now, but we're ready to make some big things happen.

Cheers,
- The MKCentral Media Staff Team
