lvl^, u guys rawk!!
oh and LQ stream is for small penises low bandwidth connections

just dont let slasher near the stream. ill pay u!

glad to hear, even more so since 2BD isnt doing it

you and your 2gd whine, you are pretty much alone whit your opinion and... oh, noone cares either.

Nice. No Slasher/Wheat etc please. In fact, sack everyone and get 2GD on a VIP flight to ESWC!

wheat and slasher are actually comparable to 2gd in my opinion. they both provide nice solid commentary, quite enjoyable. except i personally find slasher's style more interesting in a way

Slasher more interesting? WTF are you smoking, dude?
Slasher will never tell you a lecture on why pro players aim plasma on enemy legs. He will never tell you that spam rocket was not just a spam rocket, but specifically to deny railgun to enemy. He won't even understand why both players suddenly exchanged smiley binds when seemingly nothing happened, etc, etc ,etc, while 2GD will describe all of that in a very funny manner while not forgetting about the usual "OMG, WHAT A RAIL!!!!" stuff. How can you enjoy wheat/slasher more, is just out of my comprehension.

i was comparing the two people i mentioned in my post, lol:)
of course, 2gd is in a class of his own.
and i liked your passionate reply.

how can u even compare djwheat to slasher anyway? wheat is very animated and exciting while slasher is just dull with a monotone voice.

hes like that guy who has the worst voice in the world but keeps on singing at the karaoke giving everyone a headache. if you cant sing dont do it in public, like wise if u cant cast, dont.

wheat sounds phony to me. somehow, i don't believe that he's really that excited about the game, but have the impression that he just goes through the motions as a professional

just stream without casting (maybe just give information inbetween on what match is running atm, what group, group game, who has to win and how to move on etc., if its the first/second/third map/who won the first/second and such stuff)

since there doesnt seem to be another caster that can give insights like jay anyway :p

edit: could let calipt cast, afaik he wasn't too bad :p

Noctis can cast between his games!

He should cast during his games.

"I'm getting rocketed hard by rapha, little jesus-freak is breaking my balls right now, more on this later... noctis out"

hahhaahahhahaha

Who said that?

also dkt wasn't too bad

Carmac?! :P

please no

CARMAC!

definitely no....... the most annoying casting coming from him, better to have slasher and wheat by far.... actually wheat cast pretty good , why the hate ?

prozac?

Needs [nvc] tag,

Also I'll do the casting n/p

this ^ liam for casting!

we don't want no scouse shit : D

i dont know what scouse is : (

a person from liverpool with that god awful accent :)

nonce

is that what they call them?

bender

"douche chill!"

noctis will cast c:

We'll have more info regarding the casting tonight :)

FLORIN U TELL NAO LIKE BIG BOY

I tend to agree with the mysterious gentleman. Please reveal more.

x

Read the edited post.

that is some super cool news brotherman

news so cool i had to plus :@

also mr sandberg want back to FPS? we wery team now

we to have deal for €600/mo ok?

why u want pay [insert euro sign here (cunt keyboard no have)] 300/mo as before retirement + LAN event tourney acoomodation as long as you choose Marriott, Best Western or Holiday Inn c:

In the name of whole community - PLEASE SHUT OFF ALL IRC SOUNDS BEFORE STREAMING !!!

and ingame visible buddymessages, people doing anything it takes to be seen on stream </3

These messages did not come from buddies. Randoms can msg you in-game and it seems there is no way to stop it. Go whine to SyncError about it :)

cl_noprint 1? :o

I think that only disables it in console. And either way I still want to be able to see the in-game chat...

in q3 noprint basicly removed all text showing up on screen, could be useful but if theres something going on, u wouldnt know :P

also you'd miss the whine and smacktalk between the players

You made a new account and got doctor ill to make one too, for the sole reason i wouldnt troll, only for random jerks to do it anyway?

OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :@

yeah well QL's fail is not my problem.

trouble* cris, trouble*

How you turn those off?

from buddys its an option in the settings on the ql webpage, didnt know non-buddys could \tell you though

/tell offer shako

GET WHEAT AND SLASHER + DKT PLZ

-dkt

-slasher

-wheat
so good we have 2gd

wheat+slash

wheatslasher

amirite?

so 2GD is in berlin if I'm understanding correctly? Get him to do the grand final from his girlfriend's place then!

for the first time in a while, i'm actually getting discouraged by these esr threads. there's only so much I can do about my monotone voice (can change it up somewhat), and after talking to several top players, do feel i'm knowledgeable enough both history wise and in-game, but understand the reservations of never being a top 1v1 player. if the community is annoyed enough, i will step away.

dawg, don't listen to these euro fucks. they're picky when they shouldnt be. I've always enjoyed ur
casts. fuck the world nigga

well the thing is, we europeans are used to good quality stuff, unlike the americans

STINKY EUROS. lol

funny how you guys think you're superior. that's ok.

its ok cos we are \:D/

You have two fans pushing for you just above, and only one hater arguing against you ad wheat. Don't be too sensitive!

emo slasher with long hair just like noctis and me.

don't worry, people will never stop complaining about things they don't have any idea of.

as for me, jay's casting sucks because he never stops babbling about things everybody already knows about or are more than obvious because it is a goddamn video stream, and since most of the people have 2 eyes they see what happens..

jay was interesting to listen only at start but its boring a bit idd

- Slasher does post a fucking comment in the thread! He does say that he can't do much about his fucking monotone voice, and he does inform us that he feels knowledgeable enough both fucking history wise and in-fucking-game, but does fucking understand the reservations of never being a top fucking 1v1 player! But he will fucking step away if the community is fucking annoyed enough!

I don't curse -that- much :D

you do, i give a fuck about your voice but your constant swearing makes me cringe (and mute the streams whenever there's the chance a living being could be around).

I can tone that down

\o/

good, and then more insight and less of the stuff we are seeing ourselves and you're good to go

(to give another shot )

Just replace it with "nice rail".

nice rail off.

never! thats your added value. and of course your crush for cooller.

Well, don't listen too much. Haters gonna hate. If anything, you should rather aim to improve your cast where is possible, collecting opinions.

Take 2GD as an example. On a technical side, he gives educated descriptions of what a player should do in the particular situations, is able to point out the crucial hits / mistakes putting them in a wider context and is good at anticipating turns of event and potential comebacks. IMHO these are the things our nerdy community wants most, and the things that gained him the trust. Then there are the jokes, the provoking interviews and the blatant overly sized ego of his... these other aspects make people like him, but are not mandatory.

Try a fake british accent and see if that helps. Your voice is really fucking annoying and you usually just commentate on what happens.. but so does wheat, hardly any strategic insight like 2gd does.

I disagree on the analytical side, but I digress

its not annjoung but mb so because i dont understend 90% of his speaking hihihihihihihiHEHEHHEHEHEHE

agree (except for the voice part)

<3 slasher cast
rapes 2bd

without the enemys the life would be zzz right esr? RIGFHT? hihihiihihihihihihih

at least we have some coverage for this event

I would love to see (hear) you cast, if 2gd ain't available.

i like to hear people, not stupid robots casting and i love how you integrate irc comments in your casting, thats unique imho

i think your tactical analysis improved much (from zero tho). I really hope i don't hear any thing like this again: "why doesn't he pick up mh, such a stupid noob, harharhar, he goes for the 25 bubble, harhar, now finally he picks mh up"
there aren't many smart players and even less smart casters, so try not to overestimate yourself all the time with your wisdom (last event, EG thingy was very ok)

about who to spec: usually cg_followkiller 1 is the standard for casting, i find it a bit problematic at times, try to do your best plz

apart of a few haters, most of us have fun to tease you a bit and this culminated in the fu slasher affair, that you had your own fun with in your show :D hillarious

If a tournament has none of 2gd, wheat, slasher or joe casting I usually don't really care to follow it (unless it would be the return of Toxic or something). This is intended as a compliment. Have a plus too. Also I would love to have the kind of life people have where your voice is considered a problem worth attention for more than five seconds. (As a sidenote, during my personal five seconds I concluded it's awesome and sounds a lot like Seth Killian who is also a baller, you ever get that or is it just me?)

Haters gon' hate. For me I look at it like this:

Wheat = Hype machine. Great person to intro an event and get everyone excited for the matches, but he doesn't bring that much to the table in terms of pure tactics -- nor do we need him to.

Slahser = gossip girl. Since Slasher knows the players and is deeply involved in the community he is the perfect person to give you the inside scoop as far as who has been practicing with who, how much they have been playing, any beefs between players, and some quick quake history overviews.

2GD = funny pro player with a great understanding of the tactics, styles, and in-game decision making on the fly.

In my opinion everyone that shoutcasts quake seems to do it as if it is radio. Know your audience -- we know the game and don't need a comment for every strafe jump.

Looking forward to the coverage!

so if slashers so knowledgeable about wats happening in the quake community have him talk about shit going on with 2gd between matches problem solved

In my opinion everyone that shoutcasts quake seems to do it as if it is radio. Know your audience -- we know the game and don't need a comment for every strafe jump.

[+]

every caster, except 2GD - take note please ^

this explains perfectly why dird doesn't like 2GD's casts.

yeah but sometimes 2GD enters into "advanced" explications when there are very simple situations he is just omitting, like that old match on ztn he had no idea what was happening, going on with timing techniques debunked, strong advanced stategies and how the position of the Moon influenced the moral strength of the better player, and on and on when in fact there was just a simple cause to the badly lose of the other guy: he was attacking the mega without even picking up 50 armor, every freakin' time
so I don't retract my statement that he had no idea what was going on on that match

fact is that the last american competition you got connected/disconnected then connected again xD (eg master cup?) well fact is that you gave better insight than djwheat on the matches, and even he was seeying this as every time you was on the stream he gladly let you take over the casting

You can't really expect all people to like your casting. Sure, people do, but you need to understand that people don't, and unfortunately that group of people is the most vocal. Back when we had GTV, they didn't need to make comments like they do now, because they could just watch the games with no casters if they wanted to.

i think you guys could take the example from football

there are: the narrators and commentators

because of your voice's tone i think you should be a commentator, but also if you practice a little bit some techniques based on radio-tv classes then you can become a magnificent narrator plus a decent voiced-tone

and he could just sing from time to time, with proper lessons of course

i know a guy who studies radio-tv and he needed to do these things etc.. vocal-coordenation or something like this..

fuck 'em, really. just do your thing. some of us there really appreciate it

just let disrepute do it. his voice reminds me of ice-t.

deal

lets try one event without casting. i prefer concentrating on game rather then on some culinary hints about lasagna.

2gds cock waiting for you

DREWCAST = DREAMCAST?!

2gd will cast?? ;o

Enthousiasme over technical bs

Wheat > 2GD

Have wheat and 2gd cast. 2GD can be the technical guy and wheat can be the 'HOLY FUCK LOOK AT THAT SHOT!!!!!!!' guy.

Good stuff?

would be nice for sure. :)

What do you mean by "enthousiasme"?

see jamalz post

I love wheats casting :)

wham bam shazam

Warwitch :D

lmao, have a caster no matter how bad, streams without one seem less important, kinda like watching a practice game.

lol not slasher.. he is so slow... :P

I think 2gd is the best quake live commentator ever..(?) He even beat djWHEAT in my opinion. The humor is great! The voice is clear and good + he has knowledge of the game. What more can we ask for? :]

2GD because he knows it's not radio, so doesn't tell you about every single move/hit/dodge/pickup that the players make. He actually has insight :)

All coverage is good of course, just rather not listen to a rundown of the players exact movements when we can see it on screen.

i agree

Well guys, you're in luck. All 3 of 2GD, djWHEAT and Slasher will be casting this event on the lvl^ stream!

Check out the edited 1st post for more info!

Woot n1, slasher+2gd could be epic like zalmah and 2gd :D

slasher + 2gd? inb4 nerdfights.

As much as I like Slasher, 2gd and nerdfights please don't mess up the stream with any of that!

booo

heyyyyyyyyy, you guys forgot about JOE, bring him too damn it! =/

Yeah, Joe is better than Slasher anyway

joe would be great, but works for esl

So what? He casted for Dreamhack multiple times, why not cast for ESWC.

Dreamhack and ESWC aren't the same type of 'competition' at all.

wheat fuck yeah!
