i really liked the frag video of patchouli, play dead by leonhardbroler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqZ3EsXIZ3I

maybe it's the video editing tho that made it feel that way

very nice :)

we should mirror it like stage 2 playoffs from last season, do a double elim where top 4 start in upper bracket and bottom 4 start in lower bracket. reward teams who played well in the regular season so that it doesn't make the regular season worthless

ty to Essentials/Jon/Jmax/Sodium/feno for letting us be B stream despite being north americans aside from core/dave and for making our involvement possible

oh and also thanks to my team for waking up as early as 6 in the morning local time to even be a part of this

and thanks not steven for wearing the fireside beanie on stream much appreciation!

if the main lan will be in poland for the future that'd be dope. flights to birmingham from midwest USA are about $200-250 more expensive depending on time of season. would be nice to fly over to europe for a lan

matches were just released today, idk what more you want from me lol. most people don't refresh rgl constantly waiting to see which team they need to reach out to for a reschedule on a weds. the fact i didnt respond meant i hadn't even made a decision yet but i think you made that decision for me with your response.

i think everytime you've reached out to me up until that last game we've either had an invite or advanced game reserved for the time slot. I don't see anything wrong with my message other than telling our coverage channel that you had reached out for a cast and said that on paper it's a straight up 5-0 without sugarcoating the words. not trying to make fun of you but we've only chosen matches that we think narratively should be close unless it's straight up the only match to cast that day. and there's always options on wednesday so that is a far bit reaching

We'll be covering ★★★½ vs. tf2hard on Fireside!
