Keep watching, and remember to #makeitloud on social media - maybe tweet or post a picture of you watching the streams?

I definitely will! I was going to wait until Einstein's because if there are any matches to share with people it is definitely the final finals. Thank you for making content that I think will really engage people outside of the FIRST bubble. The commentary and explanations make it easier for family and friends to understand what's happening and what really makes a great match great.

What a weekend...

Nearly 6K viewers on Twitch at Peak today. I look forward to reviewing our stats in the days to come, but for now I want to thank all the people who helped moderate the chat, and provide us with real time Alliance selection data. Huge thanks to Brian Smist, for all his help.

Thanks to FIRST, Twitch, TBA, the FIRSTChampLive crew, and all of you for tuning in!

Any chance of the #FIRSTChampLive stream being archived?

I have to say that these were the best FRC webcasts that I have ever watched. There were very few technical issues, the camera angles were great, and the video was good quality. The #FIRSTChampLive stream was an amazing way to watch Championship. Great commentary, interviews, and matches. Job well done.

THANK YOU Gamesense, FIRST, and Twitch!

Any word on posting the stream somewhere? I'd love to catch some of the content from today!

We hope to get recordings of the content up within the next few days. STEMtv has the whole thing recorded, so it's all there!

Thanks for putting in the work to make sure watching championship be an overall very enjoyable experience. Hope to see this back next year and enjoy your off season.

Thank you to everyone involved in the broadcasts for all your hard work. I think this is a huge step in growing interest for FIRST "outside the tent."

We had some mentors who couldn't make the trip to St. Louis, but they were watching the webcast and had nothing but great things to say about it. After we were eliminated on Saturday, I went across the street to my hotel to drop some things off. I ended up watching the stream from my room for the rest of the division playoffs, instead of going back to the dome. I think that says a lot about the quality of the production you guys put on.

Sounds like this went really well! I can't wait to watch the recordings.

Just a suggestion for next year. I appreciate what FIRST tries to do with the MCs (right? Or GAs?) between Einstein matches, but to be brutally honest, it just doesn't execute very well. Maybe you should see if GameSense can either train whomever is set to do the commentary next year to flow better, or have your hosts down there instead. I think the main issue is just throwing the conversation back and forth to each other, as well as transitioning and filling in gaps of awkward silence.
