too bad its pretty clear whos gonna take this home.

yea...

yep :/
gz abso

more importantly: Will abso do the disappearing trick again?

purri vs calipt could be close.

if its gonna be played

ye, was close

carmac casting? :D nice
though the reason for it is rather sad

Always thought his shoutcasting was pretty shit tbh

edit: that's no offense to him ofc, just it was kinda the school of "I can't see shit" casting

Ya,
I think Carmac does a better job behind the scene, interviewing and flipping coins than casting.

i think this is the first cast Joe has done since 2gd leaving so hopefully he might shed some light on the subject.

i think joe did the reload vs abso game alone last week.
and im sure he didnt mention anything about 2gd. :(

It's like 9/11 all over.

Too soon.

steady on m8,comparing 2gd leaving to 9/11 is a bit much ;D

I knew someone would say that but I meant people not wanting to talk about it :P

hehe ye im just breaking ur balls :D

but I don't have an-


err right

ESL is a part of the Thule-Gesellschaft (Thule Society) , 2gd stumbled upon some information he shouldnt have...and as they say,the rest is history

._O

nice made up story here ^^

oh noes,its totally for realz :p

enlighten me then.. afaik theres no such thing as a thule gesellschaft. we do have several 'frats' with shady intentions here in germany with prosperous backers.. but those are coteries without any interest in the outer world :P

there is an underground base directly 2 miles under the ESL studios ,harboring Sirians (type B Greys) who experiment on us,extracting the juices from the pineal gland,which is their aphrodisiac
Also Joe and James are both black ops agents with #33 clearance

..
.

:))

k, thats the kind of validation i needed - sorry sir, you know to much aswell

u might leave a note to your relatives, about you seeing no point in life anymore or something
have a nice day

:PP

i totally did not read that post above!

NDA?

another interesting link....
carmac's looking forward to that event
people 'round here less i guess

go purri \o/

killsen zadrot :D :D :D

Ok, "zadrot" term on ESL :D

rape :&
<3 german QL

I really don't get why 2GD left ESL. He was obviously running the best shoutcast BY FAR along with Joe. Isn't that worth anything to ESL? 2GD just leaving before ESWC/Dreamhack doesn't make sense.

Don't want to sound like an ass but Carmac shouldn't be shoutcasting. It's been discussed before tho. Not sure why he's there either.. guestcasting since James is missing or did he just simply take his place?

Did Joe say anything when the cast started?

What I hate is complete silence about that situation.
Not one word, not from anyone.

And what is there? Nothing, just description of the fact.

more mysteries

well to be honest his casting wasnt that bad and the two doing this together was the better choice for this show. this is not going to be a permanent solution

yep, it wasn't that bad .. i guess we're all hoping for some more info

Yeah I kind of understood it as not being a permanent thing too, but I almost wish it would be as IMO, he's just as good as every other guy around, besides 2GD ofc.

Dear me. Carmac's holding on to the info as if it could shatter the stock markets. Just tell us and be done with it.

I think he said it all: players will be already busy with eswc/dreamhack/quakecon, no need to bother them with any IEM.

Maybe. But you could read it just the other way.

Like it's gonna be a hot summer cause we will be doing ql. But as I'm not supposed to let you know yet, I'm saying it's gonna be hot due to dh and qcon. To politically provide for the ambiguity of my statement.

Typical cat and mouse. Guess it needs a stage and another 20 commercials to pull anything definite out of him.

is there something you wana say to viewers,
-yeah , hot summer
-_-

only one match :(

tbh i didnt expect anyhting else, since purri is moving to another flat ... but it would have been nice though, to see both games today.

we got internet now! :)

gz livia :)

i hope not from telekom!

is there telekom in the netherlands?

they are EVERYWHERE!!!!

go calipt \o/

Hearing Joe commentating this match reminded me of when he commentated for Quadv. Really good stuff!

yeah his commentating is enjoyable but sometimes his interpretation of what he sees is just wrong and it makes me cringe every single time

Could be worse, the interpreting could be done by Holysh1t & Co.

i just miss the pk world tour with him and gabriel david shoutcasting :>

That was ITG right? Man that was good times.

tsn :)

gl purri

This is just sad. EPS matches always overlap with TDM/CTF matches from EMS >:o|

no? at least the match between purri and calipt didnt.

yeah, but that's just one match right?

jeez feels so sad without 2gd :(

yep
and also 2gd without joe would suck - wednesday was so "having fun time watching jay and joy.. oh and someones playing quake on the shitstream"

exactly ...the stream quality is terrible but the presence of them really made the show great.

Calipt's rail was amazing. GG Calipt & Purri :)

GL for finals against K1llsen.

t7 was awesome, first time i really enjoyed watching this crappy map

final is today at 20:30 cest, maybe someone can bump this thread
