I watched the videos last night, and really enjoyed them. Compared to other videos, it was really nice to hear the commentators discuss the fight, and what the team could have done in stead. It was very educational to see and hear how to deal with certain strategies. And the best part was probably when one team made some error, and left them self open to a rush. Being in spectator view, it was easy to see what went wrong, and when someone could/should have reacted. And all players on the team are probably far better players than me, so while I highlight the 'negative' sides, I mean this in a positive way :)
I really think we need more of this kind of commentating videos, as they can help teach commanders and players the next step after the initial "how to play" videos. It also made me think of a few things, I might try differently as player and commander, so I look forward to more videos
Here's what happened with the PN and beacon thing: I was building the obs, when I saw that XR RT was attacked and got order to go there, at this point I thought: let me get there ASAP for the RT's sake and next guy spawning can finish building the obs. I simply nub'd out - will have different priorities for next time, lesson learned!

Oh ok. I watched that segment a few times and honestly thought the obs was up. It's hard to tell in that corner. I think you guys were clearly winning, but obviously made two big mistakes.
