Hello, Codeforces!

We, the team at TLE Eliminators, are glad to announce the 2nd Anniversary of our Post Contest Discussion Series on Youtube.

These discussions were born out of a simple but crucial idea, the importance of Upsolving, which helps you identify gaps in your knowledge and directly results in growth in your CP ability.

How it started:

4 years ago, when I was actively participating in Codeforces contests, I used to have a post-contest call with my ICPC teammate — parth20, to discuss problems and our ideas. As I went on to start my Youtube channel later, I realised that upsolving was a major issue for most people, especially beginners who struggled to read text editorials. That's when I started uploading the recordings of our calls on Youtube and to my surprise, it blew up. We started getting 4-5k views on average on each video.

Later, as I started TLE Eliminators and got busy with other things in life, I could hardly find time to attempt contests or discuss their solutions. However, I knew there was a gap here and I genuinely wanted to continue contributing. As, our revenue from paid courses grew, we could get other skilled competitive programmers to contribute to this. Now, it has been over 2 years since I stopped doing these discussions myself without getting inconsistent in posting them on Youtube.

How it is going:

In the past 2 years, and with your support, we have achieved the following milestones: - Covered solutions for 350+ contests from Codeforces, Codechef and Leetcode. - Delivered 500+ hours of video content which got over 2 million views.

A big shout-out and heartfelt thanks to our team of CP mentors who've contributed to this initiative and without whom, this would have never been possible: Queue, itzzRaghav, khnhcodingkarlo, CoderAbhi27, Prady, harsh2209gupta, Soumojitkgp, accord, Ankit_132, aknov711, thisIsMorningstar, 18o3.

If you haven’t already, check out our YouTube channel for free post-contest discussions and editorials. We post the videos right after the contests to ensure you don't make an excuse to not upsolve contests. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@TLE_Eliminators

In the coming year, we are going to make these discussions even better with your feedback that you all have shared. Don't forget to drop your thoughts, suggestions, or ideas in the comments, we’d love to hear from you.

Stay tuned, and keep upsolving.
