nah, not even close, anders and semmler are the best but as of the late I don't feel hyped as I used to when they cast

2015-10-06 23:54

they dont get me hyped..someone does an insane flick they just like 'oh ns' if anders and semmler casted that they would lose their minds.

yeah, exactly, its not even fun to watch when someone clutches 1v5 and he just calmly says with his british accent: "Oh woah, look at this play! Nicely done by olofmeister."

DA DDK DUO BEST

HELP ME NEIL

2015-10-05 23:49

Loord thoooriin

Thorin Kreygasm

no semmler? no anders? shitty tournament

2015-10-05 23:51

who needs them when we have ddk & blackddk?! the caster line-up for this tourney is actually really nice.

2015-10-06 00:03

Really? Out of the commentators, only ddk&black ddk are any good. Availer and kyan1te suck, the rest are nonamers, not sure I've ever heard them cast (what tournaments have any of the others casted before?) so I suppose they could surprise, but I would hardly consider it a good lineup on paper. They did get a lot of big names for the desk though, even if I'm not a big fan of RL and Thorin.

2015-10-06 01:54

The reason is because, according to RLewis on his Podcasts "By The Numbers" and "Trash Talk" it's because they will be streaming the games on Hitbox. Some of the casters who aren't here, have a special contract with Twitch who does not let them cast games done by other "streaming-sites". Atleast this is what I understood when he was explaining it on his podcasts.

2015-10-06 00:14

u mean shitbox? twitch > all

2015-10-06 00:47

Hahaha you're right but it would be the same thing if Youtube Gaming would host a tournament. Twitch would tell "their" casters that they aren't allowed to stream there. Same thing with streamers etc but bla bla bla bla.

2015-10-06 01:16

shit tournament because 2 casters couldn't come. Good thing most people don't think like you.

2015-10-06 00:28

nice

2015-10-06 00:41

semmler is an ok play by play caster. But Anders ? give me a fucking break. This guy still is on the scene cuz of his early casting approach in csgo. Technically, anders is a bad bad caster.

2015-10-06 08:48

no babam no fun

+ 1111111

2015-10-06 00:20

PLEASE NO MORE UK CASTERS THEY ALL SUCK aside from ddk and black ddk muslim caster hype

agree 100% except for the muslim bit.

2015-10-06 00:00

So like, 60%?

2015-10-06 08:07

Almost more commentators than players

2015-10-05 23:52

XDDD +1

2015-10-06 08:25

shitbox ? or twitchbox ?

pretty decent more good than shit. excited to see thorin shit over no-namers

how about we just delete all the names below james bardolph and send those guys back home?

lol.

2015-10-06 04:54

problem, sire?

2015-10-06 11:13

NEIL fuckin M

2015-10-05 23:56

2015-10-05 23:58

2015-10-05 23:59

2015-10-06 00:04

2015-10-06 00:06

2015-10-06 09:46

stop hiring natu he fucking sucks

ayyyy+1 same for henryg

2015-10-06 05:52

+10. When they cant afford _decent_ people their backup plan is fuckups like natu etc. #biggestfail. And whats that nipfan arabic caster doin there

2015-10-06 08:27

faceit duo best duo

2015-10-06 00:07

Thorin in 3rd wold country? I have to see that

2015-10-06 00:12

No Anders & Semmler, no party.

Why there is Anders or Semmler is because, according to RLewis on his Podcasts "By The Numbers" and "Trash Talk" it's because they will be streaming the games on Hitbox. Some of the casters who aren't here, have a special contract with Twitch who does not let them cast games done by other "streaming-sites". Atleast this is what I understood when he was explaining it on his podcasts.

lots of garbage and noname casters

2015-10-06 00:21

thorin, james and ddk Kreygasm

SO MANY FLAGS

2015-10-06 00:22

Richard Lewis (Analyst)????? should cast everything instead...

2015-10-06 00:25

sirscoots, thorin, ddk, black ddk and none of the guys I dislike, except richard. so much win!

2015-10-06 00:43

i need to tell u something. it will be very difficult for u to take. ur gonna learn to hate most any of the casters at this event, apart from the faceit duo.

2015-10-06 00:54

i love those 4 people i named. then i took a closer look and you migth be rigth, but luckily they have alot of names so atleast they will swap around more often than other events id imagine

2015-10-06 01:17

mind u, just the casters i was talking about. i dont particularly like natu and ynk from the analysts bcs they just cant speak english and articulate themselves properly, but same applies: theres a big desk and thorin and rlewis like to talk a lot so it shouldnt be too annoying.

2015-10-06 01:20

when read Shitbox I've confirmed the skip for this shitty champ...

2015-10-06 00:49

yeah the thing is ur not gonna really miss anything bcs these games are basicly what u can already see on fpl pug or NA 10 man streams everyday, just casted and a little more serious. and with people from kyrgyzwhateverthefuckthatis

2015-10-06 00:55

No Anders and semmler , no hype when sick rounds :(

2015-10-06 00:50

mr neil m > world

black ddk :D

ddk and black ddk is back :D

DDK and Black DDK = OK But, without Anders, Semmler and Sadokist = No respect.

no Anmler/Semders no party no sado no party

2015-10-07 03:11

no semmler no anders = no party thorin = fail

2015-10-06 01:07

thoorin to rekt those 3rd worlders there rofl

2015-10-06 01:13

I guess the only place Britain has a counter-strike scene is in commentating and lying.

JACKY! JACKY! JACKY! YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THE BANNNNNNNTTEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

The return of scoots! Boooya!

2015-10-06 01:31

i give 9 faks

thorin. thorin everywhere

2015-10-06 01:32

Only good casters on this event is DDK & Black DDK... Good desk doe

2015-10-06 01:39

The trio is back boysss

2015-10-06 02:29

The Gfinity Angels are back bois!!

2015-10-06 04:55

Black ddk and ddk hype

2015-10-06 02:33

availar why why

2015-10-06 02:36

2015-10-06 02:38

thorin wins all hopefully not on hitboxing

2015-10-06 02:45

SIRSCOOTS!!!! YES!!!!

2015-10-06 03:19

Ddk party ,finally no semmler ..boring to see him in all events and with fake reactions

2015-10-06 03:27

omfg, availer >DDDDDDDDD now that they got availer as commentator it makes the tournament more shit

2015-10-06 03:28

Availer > Natu,Kyanite

2015-10-06 12:15

Thoorin and RL.. Yet another tournament I wont be watching! That, and the fact they are streaming it on hitbox..

2015-10-06 03:37

Nice to see NeiL_M there, dunno why but I love his accent (Well, I do know why; he's Irish, and that sounds badass!)

2015-10-06 05:00

I don't know how much more natu I can handle.

2015-10-06 06:46

No Semmler & Anders, rip

2015-10-06 06:55

Not natu again ffs

2015-10-06 07:56

thorin, jzfb and ddk hype might be a little too much natu these days tho:v

2015-10-06 08:21

KYAN1TE.... nice...

2015-10-06 08:23

No Pansy! Best day of my life.

2015-10-06 08:31

I cant stand those 3 guys and Availer. Will skip the "analysis" (like we really need them to understand the game...) part and the game where Availer will be casting. Otherwise rip ears.

wtf no semmler, i guess the ddk's is gnna make up for it!

2015-10-06 09:08

I don't see the point of having so many casters unless games are being played at the same moment. Besides, the trio Scoot, thorin and RL is only good for HLTV fanatic users, silvers and teenagers. Such a waste.

2015-10-06 09:37

THE ALL STAR TOURNAMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM

2015-10-06 09:59

SIRSCOOTS HYPE

2015-10-06 10:00

No Semmler,Anders,Sadokist or even Fifflaren. LMAO. Natu,Kyanite and retard Thorin with bunch of nonamers instead of them. Only matches i will watch without muting it will be the ddk and black ddk matches.

2015-10-06 12:14

DDK's <3 <3

2015-10-06 12:33

how many time is Availer gonna call CSGO, Call of Duty? that shitcaster did it at least 50 times during the qualifiers. dumbass company hired shitcasters becasue they dont want people to watch it.

2015-10-06 13:03

so many plebs

2015-10-06 13:11

Finally no henryg. Fucking annoying cunt that guy

2015-10-06 13:21

2015-10-06 13:41

Sad. I'm not against giving "newer" casters the chance, but don't leave out all the good ones to replace them with "new" ones.

2015-10-06 13:49

omg, kyan1te, plz no

2015-10-06 14:16

no general no party

2015-10-06 14:18

Awesome analyst desk, Casters are acceptable as well & Rather hitbox than mlg :D

2015-10-06 14:33

Idk, casters look weak to me other than ddk and black ddk.

2015-10-06 15:24

ddk, JZFB and KYAN1TE the rest are shiiiiit

2015-10-06 15:30

Bring Metuz

Unfortunately I had a death in the family a few days ago. So can't make it as family needs to come first. Would have loved to make it, but it's just not possible.
