anyone willing to stream this?

It's going to be streamed. We need casters.

Ask Disrepute and vor from level up tv

Should get at least online commentary instead of studio. This community has so many good casters, someone should be available.

This community has so many good casters, someone should be available.

hm?

I think there are at least 15-20 good/decent casters in QL right now.

hm?

Zoot, ddk, Disrepute, Vor, 2GD, Vo0, fazz, nVc, TosspoT, fishstix, twister, easytarget (not the most professional, but committed and casted EU events before), Memento_Mori (never heard him actually cast, but he's a fast-thinking duel analyst), ischju

Some B-Grade/community casters:
ins, ShadyAK

These just popped into my mind, 16 names, and there are probably more. People I missed, people I don't know (for example there are some actually good casters in div 5 tdm (ArQon), so I can imagine there are good duel casters with lower ELO as well). Also not listed Americans (ppl like Jehar and Fear).

And I also think events like these are good opportunities for lesser known casters to try out. Everything is better than no stream/cast. Maybe not on the FACEITtv official channel, but still.

ins is def. the best analytical caster atm

"ok so now he took the rayil and he should go get mega"

"I think the players are just trying to kill each other"

You said right now?

2gd hasn't casted any quake in months(years?), same goes for fazz, nvc, fishstix, ischju and twister. (recent one time appearances don't count)

Vor is great but he doesn't really like duel that much I think.

Tosspot... I wish he was a quake caster, but besides the legends tournament he hasn't been on the scene since the early quakecons I think?

You're also saying we have good decent casters, but you never heard them cast (memento's case).

In order not to sound butthurt, I don't look down on anyone that's even trying to cast, I appreciate the effort and realize it takes some guts and some language fluency to pull it off neatly, so props to everyone trying, but to say that QL has 20... ok, let's make it a challenge, 10 good casters is just spreading misinformation.


Dis&Vor for TDM
ddk/zoot for Duel

That's about it as far as "right now" goes imo.

I'd cast if someone invited me on his stream.

Were you able to find someone supporting your casting today? I'd be great if you did it! Good luck with that!

owzo is a good caster for Duel, did a very nice job a couple of Zowie cups ago

2GD is a good caster. He's just a hapless ho. And don't pimp your ho's on stream. Otherwise, I dig the jew. (I kid)

Who was that "keep it frosty" moufukka? That dude was not "caster worthy" but when he spoke, dat nugga was speaking truth.

Vo0... I'm biased, but I love listening to him cast anything, because he had to deal with vorpal somehow, and only real nuggas can possibly do that.

TossPot thought he hit the weight room or something. JEAH... RAYAIGHT! You ain't hitin' shit nugga, but god bless you, you cast well and entertain. (I'm an atheist)

Above all, I miss Carmac or Carmack or Gheymack - whatever is fucking ghey ass name... his only problem is that he could merely cast at an avg level (hello asshole? remember the names?) but I digress... I'm just having fun.

Anybody that pushes Quake forward gets my vote of confidence.

So everyone mentioned above gets my highest recommendation.

I would cast if qlranks.tv would make it possible to cast on their stream. casting 6-7hours a stream like faceit tv is just not possible when you have a "life".

Dont be a dick, just be reasonable, otherwise, leave the community plz anhedonined :)

I can't even remember who was calling him like this but

czm was repeating it ironically (I hope) after A-Spec started with that

he wasnt ironic, it was a fail, he admitted after. he just didnt know him at the time and thought his name had a more 1337 pronunciation

Never seen anything funnier than that post, thanks Mr. Potat.

i'm missing something here. Brody vs Analsomething and then vs Agent?

Ye, allow russian stream!

Most people speak English, so the stream should be in English.
That's all.

Most people speak mandarin and most quakers speak russian.
That's all.

Most people speak Pole, so the stream should be in Pole.
That's all, kurwa.

Fuck you, kids !!

Most quakers understand english (including some russians).

many chinese dont speak mandarin :P

Need more TossPotat :(

no streme/cast ?

Tosspotat gud potad

interesting!

Ill cast it

I second tony :p

Roy, allow Russians to cast restreams or whtever u might consider appropriate - they are, in fact, half of the QL community. The whole former USSR enjoys casting in Russian, and u cut them off from the coolest weekly tourney in years?

Maybe theres a way to surplus Russian stream viewer numbers to yours?

uaShadow's, DarkRa's or 4ce's commentating is one of the top notch fluent, funny AND adequately intense, so losing them from QL scene's saint cow which is FaceIt is a BIG loss. U won't do that, will ya?

AB out.

inb4: servers 16/16 and everyone talking some shit

Time to face the real world big boy, it's probably good for most commies over there to learn english at some point. This might just be that point.

But... they're way more entertaining than english speaking casters. Casts in english is two stiffs with british accents, sounding like they have sticks up their asses, droning on and on and on.

"droning" XDD

Why they need english explain yourself?

U didn't read the above, did u? If there's a way to add up Russian-speaking restream viewer numbers to faceit's - why the fuck will anyone bother about commies having to learn english instead of just giving this huge army of Quakers a chance to watch Quake the way they love it?
And yet again - Russian streams are WAAAY different in terms of entertainment to those of english. They're more close to 2gd's combos of fun and deep insights, with less restrictions all-round.
If u would known Russian - u would already miss those brilliant casts. (on the contrary to official FaceIt's cast teams - Russian casting was ALWAYS top-notch and hilarious, with skype appearances of oldskool hardcore quakers, just for fun, and some stars, like Agent).
Not allowing Russians to stream is like removing your favourite SaturdayNightLive shows (put your fav show name here) from the internets.

Remember how 'Pure Pwnage' got cancelled? That's pretty much how we, Russians, feel right now about FaceIt official-stream-only rule.

I've never seen 'Pure Pwnage', so no.

And it's kind of hard to take you ruskis seriously regarding how good you think the cast is seeing as how you're always going AAAAH MOTHERLAND no matter what it's about. Clanbase groups, defending deliberate murders defeat on lan, doesn't really matter what it is, some commie fanboy is always there to defend it.

Rosetta Stone my wooly brother, Rosetta Stone.

lol, so much butthurt and hate for russians. :)

in case you didn't notice, everyone asking here for the russian stream is articulating it in english. language is not a problem at all, the problem is not giving a good and great russian-speaking casters to do what they can (for free, btw), the problem is alienating big part of quake community, the problem is that way you cut your viewer base.

did the official legends cup stream get more viewers when faceit decided to ban russian streamers? yes, definitely, but maybe a third of russian viewerbase at best. lots of people opened official stream, said "meh" and closed the page. less - after the quarterfinals, when someone russian-speaking made a re-stream. that cup had one of the most interesting list of participants, so it would be watched even if it was streamed with coptic language commentary.

can they hope that weekly cups will get those russian-speaking viewers who watched russian stream? only a small, very small portion. i think it is crazy to think that big number of people would learn english to follow quake competitions stream. less people watching -> less people bothering -> less word-of-a-mouth advertising -> less impact on the scene. that's a very simple math, i don't understand, why faceit went that way. also i couldn't find any official statement, why russian stream was banned and no answers will there be any in future. all we get is silence.

i love to watch quake competitions streams, but deciding between choky frightened people in suits, desperately trying to radiate excitement by aimlessly trying to talk fast, and more laid-back witty insightful commentary with occasional burst-ins by russian-speaking top quake players is a no-brainer.

Yes, russians asking for their own streams turns my life upside down.

oh you poor thing :)

(yeah, i know you went for a sarcastic reply, but anyway i found it pity)

Pity accepted.

y u heff 2 b med?

wooden toys daddy rape etc

you just went full retard... never go full retard...

i dont speak russian(ok, maybe some words and phrases) yet i enjoy it much more than: "what a rail" coming from zoot every 5 seconds

Good for you.

Isn't it ironic, you coming in here, slinging around backhanded insults about russians not knowing english, yet its YOU who's missing out on the best casts in quake because you don't know russian?

Hmm, you're probably a little thick, so I'm going to answer for you. Yes, it's very much ironic.

That's odd, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

And I wasn't insulting, I was merely stating facts.

Tosspost must cast all matches

im willing to commentate if someone can stream the matches

yep, im a girl named sofia and too much stupid to find a nick name that doesn't contain my real name.

Da fukk? Monday cups now?

Faceit has been hosting daily cups from Monday to Thursday since november 12th.

Haha, of course. I misread that. I thought the sunday cups were to begin january 7.

Sorry.

how about a link to the stream

how about a stream?

QLRanks TV will stream some good games for sure.

Do we have Tosspot and Twister on skype?

http://twitch.tv/qlrankstv
Most games should appear here I guess :D

lmao @ lack of* stream

http://www.twitch.tv/qlrankstv

man... please

at least they're streaming some games :-/

Respect the fact they wanted to have a break.

where can I cast?

clearly no one cares.

Fuck, was looking forward to you casting...

Talk to Ins and he should help you get going, still noone casting it.

i was cleaing my room, checked esr again and then went to stream. hearing strenx cast who I just talked to on facebook an hour ago. lol

Try being on irc. I told Ins in twitch chat that you wanted to cast, but seems like he couldn't reach or smth.

yeah shit. now you found strenx ;)

Log on IRC and pm "szr" and he will give you info so you can cast!

thank god, we have qlranks 24/7 stream :))
this is end of the world - bot stream tournament :D

brackets ?

Technology proves being more efficient than man again.

http://www.justin.tv/geomatix#/w/4464707424/2 streme

big props for geo :-)

the stream is off now. :<

qlranks has strenx casting

i know i know. but thanks anyways. :)

So quarters is:

Purri vs Evil

Vo0 vs Kronic

Baksteen vs etty


semis:

evil vs pavel

Vo0 vs baksteen

THey said they had some casters and they needed to restart the stream. Where are they?

Such a joy to watch Vo0 playing

Really great unpredictable attacks vs Baksteen, reminds me a bit of how Cypher does it.

Happy New Year to everyone behind FACEIT. Thanks for pushing Quake through 2012 and into 2013.

This will be my last FACEIT Cup, as I will be moving back to USA in a few days. I want to thank the FACEIT team for all the great cups and may the European scene (and hopefully American scene too next year) enjoy another year worth of awesome cups and streaming.

Now on to harosh against evil.

sad to see you go, who am I going to cheer for now :(

Sad news. Hope you can bring some light into the NA scene :)

Sad :(. Will you keep playing quake in the USA?

Not sure, the NA scene is much, much less active than the EU scene and the player pool is, again, much smaller. Will also be quite busy with study, so we'll see!
I kind of want to set up some kind of QL streaming service, where I give comments such as timings or ragings when I play, but not sure how interested people are. Also, American internet is shit.

I want to see that!!

I'm interested =D

Heck I'm not even close to a "pro" level but I stream when playing tdm from time to time, pretty much only talking whenever something bothers me or something pops up in my head, people seem to enjoy just watching quake from time to time, I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in watching you play.

Hey vo0, come play cpma instead #blackout on qnet ;DDDDDDDD

gg

Evil looks really strong,

strenx casting finals \:D/

wat

strenx? on qlranks stream?

s_volume down we can't hear shit

s_volume 0.2

evil vs vo0 final@ http://www.qlranks.com/tv/ if someone don't know yet

found the stream, i'm less angry now :P
how old is Evil ?

39

no way

30 straight. Old school Q3 player.

26 iirc

strenx is just priceless :D so much lols

he definitely made this day)

Strenx should cast in russian for sure.

Scores?

Someone record the strenx vs evil showmatch

Evil vs Pavel demo

HAHA HAROSH111

rofl

it is not a QL game

Has anyone recorded vods of the final? Semis, maybe?

Can someone tell these people to leave? evil was trying to join the server but its full.

fail...

Nice to see that strenx is in form.

vods?? strenx casting? where can i watch it!

part2
7:23 strenx commentary highlight

"I LOVE when people rush me with shaft. F*ck, i'd love to play against evil" -strenx. lol

not sure ive strenx knows, but evil admitted he got a lot of his style from strenx (even uses the same mouse/setup/2011 cfg strenx used when he was fully active)

would be like the student vs the master.

it would be fun to watch!!

Didn't he also mention he's gonna play next Sunday? Also, him talking about how Quake makes his heart beat and SM is like, yup... shoot... maybe win...

I think Quake will cycle once again. Everything is cyclical. When everyone remembers why Quake is THE pinnacle of FPS games, it'll be back on the minds of the masses again! :D

Vive le Quebec libre!

Next week - Evil vs Strenx

Prepare your shaft gentlemen

Sorry we couldn't give the show you're used from us this weekend guys, but most of us were also enjoying some days off with family and friends. Next week we'll be back, stronker, faster, etc! Big up to ins for running this cup single handed!

Still a good cup with great games and a funny commentary of the finals.

Sigh, ins ruining quake over and over again.

you are from faceit?

get the website fixed then plz.
it's useless if you're not logged in, and i guess many won't register anyways.

i guess they want it to be that way

I could cast the balls off of the populace and make 2GD cry and weep like a child.

If you need a caster, PM me!

Thanks!

;)

(Seriously)

Then cast and prove it

heh - was just having fun. I'd swear too much; never be 100% sober; and my humor might be too biting at times. If I wasn't making fun of a player, or insulting a nationality, then I would feel I was lacking in entertainment value.

However, looking back at the comments... Vo0 should get that streaming service up and running once he gets back to America.

That would be cool.

Who won?

Evil defeated Voo in final.

thank you

THAT NADE!
also: awkward at german ins referring to french strenx about surrendering

ins is portuguese
