2015-07-16 03:33

Why don't you tell us some CIS casters' names?

Because they are not the main casters.

because they don't hire the other casters than the ones listed above but they allow them to cast the matches

2015-07-16 01:45

Prize pool distribution adds to $100,000, not $150,000?

so you'd rather have a cancerous autistic ginger sharing his retarded opinions between every map?

2015-07-16 01:28

4 replies

Most of his analysis is correct. Most importantly his banter is superb, far more entertaining than ddk or jzfb. Sry about ur fave team nip going tier2... BTW Spence is the most autistic name I've ever heard... I know thorin said he has asperger's but he seems 100% functional and either way I don't see how it can discredit him. You on the other hand, spence, well I'm just not sure you are of the high functioning variety....sorry to say....

lol nip is trash i dont even like them no need to cry that your favorite "analyst" wont be at an event.

2015-07-16 01:47

I like him much more for his satiric edge and personality which he can bring to a desk. Am I not allowed to like someone's humor and personality if not there intuition?

2015-07-16 03:14

hahaha rekt

Richard Lewis without Thooorin :/

2015-07-15 23:43

no scoots no fun

2015-07-15 23:44

If u just replaced threat with Thorin and Smix with SirScoots, this whole lineup would be my dream team. And I'm so happy for Tosspot omfg

2015-07-15 23:46

Fuck yeah Smix!

2015-07-15 23:58

tosspot? fucking a

Sue Smix Lee?

2015-07-16 00:14

everyone saving strats... gonna be a pug-festival

2015-07-16 00:24

Smix? I guess sc2 is dead enough that she needs to expand her repertoire to keep her career going.

2015-07-16 00:29

yup, rip sc2 not a big fan of smix though

Dammit, it's been so nice without Richard Lewis

2015-07-16 01:21

Fiffy and threat <3

2015-07-16 01:27

Great casters but I can't stand Threat. The way he talks is fucked up, there's something that has gone so wrong with him. He has a problem when Speaking and it just bugs me. Edit: <3 Tosspot.

2015-07-16 01:50

But he does really good mid game analysis

2015-07-16 02:00

You might be right but fuck his voice and his saliva-level in his mouth is just out of order.

Stuart "TosspoT" Saw - Caster !! FIANLLYY !!!

2015-07-16 05:11

there would literally be riots in the streets if this tournament took place at this time in EU timezones. vods for me

not our fault that there are no cs tournaments in asia. with iem coming up we will face the same problem.

2015-07-16 06:09

nah, it's no ones fault really. I just have to bitch about the timezones when tournaments take place at 3 AM PST.

2015-07-16 18:21

i would even prefer to have games at night, when i work.

2015-07-16 23:33

pls start this on TIME! PLS!

2015-07-16 05:33

cloud 9 to dodge tsm and fnatic in groups again.

2015-07-16 06:08

2015-07-16 07:03

NiP are going home. go c9!

2015-07-16 07:54

woooooooo good analysts. glad there's no natu. casters are good too except tosspot, but maybe he'll do alright. wish thorin was here, but looks great. faceit events are always good shit.

2015-07-16 07:55

why is richard lewis there, he is so bad

2015-07-16 08:54

Wauw Tosspot as Caster, cant wait to hear his voice and enthusiasm again :)

2015-07-16 09:45

Yay! No thoorin

2015-07-16 10:46

Anyone know how the semi final births work? If you win both B01 matches to progress straight to a semi do you face the other B01 double winner or do you face a winner from the playoffs?
