C u @ Rewind 3

Writing this during my 16th ish hour of travel so you know, will miss stuff.
Shout-outs go to:
Dashner for literally working harder than I've ever seen a guy work. Dude put on an amazing show, made an amazing documentary and put out enough fires to be given the key to the town.
7 boys + perm + worms for being fun travel/bootcamp buddies, and great friends to have around. Event didn't exactly go as planned but hope you guys still had at least some fun sprinkled into the disaster.
My main sofa bros getawhale and nuze, we had some fun and every time we sit down to do a segment I'm reminded how I just want to do more and more. Let's make it happen again soon.
The rest of production, including by not limited to: dashner (again), smithsonian, dreamboat, ma3la, cornpop, TurboTabs, ombrack, row, Tino and the ESA guys that I was too out of it to properly remember names. Everyone I met for the first time was incredibly nice and you guys have no choice but to be my friends forever now, hope to see you all again at a future Lan.
Samiface gets a shout out for being the only reason I could manage to get to America to begin with, as well as for supporting seemingly every part of TF2 simultaneously. Not sure how it works, but she's also an ace gamer too.
My brother loris for editing the documentary and working ridiculously hard with dashner these past several months to make it all happen. Like me, he's probably a bit unknown to some of you gamers, but he's made some ownage Lan videos and turns out is getting involved behind the scenes in basically everything.
Met loads of new people at rewind and some I didn't even catch your name, but everyone had a lasting impact that results in some very positive memories and a desire to come back to NA and hopefully not be crazy sick for the next big event. Specific note goes to Pete though, very pleasant gamer to have a chat with, props to you.
Didn't talk to everyone but paddie and the ascent boys get a shout out, even though you took down Europe and didn't even follow through enough to make me feel better. You're still awesome people though.
Penultimate Shout-outs goes to friends at home who couldn't go. Fribs, lux + the gang at her place, all my FM gamers, Lan turtle gamers and anyone that liked what I did at the event. Hopefully I added enough to be worth it.
Last one goes to whoever that was in twitch chat who said I looked like I was in my 20s, 30s and 40s at the same time. No idea what that means, but it kept us laughing for a while.

See you all next time gamers

zilly bought me a 50 dollar fedora

and u didn't even take it with u..... Smfh

Alright here we go. I'm probably going to miss a lot of you in this, but i'll do my best

• Jasbutts: Thank you for literally everything. For organizing the airbnb, for making sure we got where we needed to, when we're needed. For making sure I didn't get too fucked getting high for the first time. For being one of my absolute favorite people in this entire community. For working insanely hard to get incredible photos of everyone, and for being amazing company, and the very last person I saw from the community.
  
• ESA Wade This event couldn't have happened without the amount of work you put into it, and the amount you vouched for us. This community is forever in debt to you. Also thank you for hosting the party on the last night. I hope your house wasn't too big a mess.
  
• Turbotabs: Thanks for being the first person from LAN I saw, and it was a pleasure to catch up on the first night over a pint. You're a legend, and I'm so glad i58 wasn't the last time I got to see you.
  
• Jewlander, Funke and Witness: You guys chilled with me for almost the entire lan and were absolutely amazing company. You're all top notch people. Also we got the velocity chant going, and that was pretty loud.
  
• Smithsonian: I don't know where to start Cam? Thanks for dealing with a shit caster back in 2016 OZF land. Thanks for being a consistent casting rock that helped me get to where I am now. I wouldn't have casted at i58, or either Rewinds, if not for the amount of development I had casting with you. It was so surreal casting a LAN with you, and I'm blessed that I got to. Also thanks for losing some MGE games to me.
  
• Tino and Drshdwpuppet: You guys are two of my favorite people in this entire game. I loved you before we were teammates, I loved you after we were teammates, and I'm so glad we all got to spend a lot of time together again. Also shoutout to the most questionable bathroom door of all time for that one night in La Quinta... Sliding door with a giant peephole gap? Cause that wasn't sketchy.
  
• Dashner: This LAN wouldn't have been as brilliant as it was without the inhuman effort you put in. Thanks for not only the amazing show, but also for letting a no-name Dreamboat cast at i58.
  
• Cornpop: LAD! I met you and within 5 minutes I felt like we've known each other forever. We came into tftv together, we casted IM games together, and now we finally casted a LAN together. You're a brilliant caster with a hell of a future in it. I'm thrilled you got to cast the grand finals, and, as expected, hit it out of the park. You're also a hell of a friend, and that last day in the airport with you/jas was the perfect lan sendoff for me. I can't wait to keep working with you and also see you again. I63 here we come?
  
• Ma3la: While we didn't get to cast together this time, it was, as always, an blessing to see you again, you're an absolute legend and I already miss your grade A hugs.
  
• Ombrack: It's amazing how quickly you can absolutely love someone you've never met. In 3 days, you went from someone I had literally never interacted with, and became one of my favorite people. You're a legend.
  
• Nuze and Eepily: You two are also top tier blokes, you were amazing to talk to, both about tf2 and about literally anything. You brought a wealth of knowledge to the desk, and kept it fun and entertaining to watch. Also Nuze your accent totally gave me a boner. Real talk.
  
• Getwahale: Every single event I get blown away by your hosting. It's so pristine and smooth, and builds every event to be something truly special. You're also an awesome guy to be around. As well, I will never NOT appreciate how supportive you were of me early on in my casting career, you always encouraged me to keep going, and gave good feedback dating back to my EVLTV days.
  
• TSC: The whole pizza fiasco is literally your fault.
  
• Samiface: Thank you for everything you do for this scene (I literally could not list everything if I tried). Thanks for hosting us that saturday night, and thanks for causing me to lose it during ready up. You're one of TF2s greatest assets, and I fear the day that you leave. You're also such a genuinely nice and friendly person.
  
• Velocity TF2: You guys are some of my favorite people, and are definitely my favorite team. You were all so nice, and I had a fun time hanging with you guys. Shamoo, I'm so thrilled that you're farming at a high level, and it's something special casting you, since you were my regular UGC iron scrim partner in 2014. (Sneaky) Pete, you got me to play open back in S18 when I was convinced I wasn't good enough. The following season I started casting. I may not have been cut out for it as a player, but maybe I wouldn't be casting if you didnt push me to play open.
  
• Pie Hero: Words cannot describe you. You're a legend, and somehow even cooler than all the stories about you. Was special to finally meet you.
  
• Kings Crew: You guys came last, which sucks, but dear lord, you guys were the most fucking hype team ever. Made even the dullest parts of lan entertaining. You were all super nice too.
  
• Bren and Sideshow: For one, thanks for coming out, you make every event/party just that little bit more epic. Also those crowd chants, jesus christ, made the event.
  
• Froyotech: First off, congrats on winning it all for a second straight year (for the love of god someone please make a superteam to deny the 3peat). B4nny, thanks for FINALLY embracing the role of the villain and dropping some made shade in the interview. Also that taunt play might be the greatest bait play of all time. YOMPS, you were my MVP of the entire event, and you certainly endeared yourself to a lot of us in the crowd by smiling and bobbing your head around to the "YOMPS IS SHIT" chant. Definitely a LAN highlight for me.
  
• Se7en: For being amazing people as always. You're all always so approachable and fantastic to talk to. I'm so sorry the lan didn't go the way you hoped, but I hope this isn't the last we see of you. Raymon, you also give fantastic hugs. AMS, the compliments to my voice and casting you gave me thursday night literally almost put me to tears. Prior to coming, I was honestly on the verge of quitting casting after the event, your comments and the support from this entire community have at least delayed that from happening.
  
• Kaja: Thanks for keeping the trend of a euro guy kissing me every lan alive. I'm so glad you came, you're a quality dude who gives incredible hugs.
  
• Literally everybody else: This community is so loving and welcoming. After receiving threats following last rewind, I was super dreading coming to this lan. I was worried about how I'd be received, I was worried about people I could have hurt because I wasn't in a good place last rewind, and I'm so incredibly grateful to this community for welcoming me back with opens arms. As readyup made clear, everyone here is a part of something special, and I'm truly blessed to be apart of it. No matter what happens to me, knowing that all of you are out there and willing to give a hug, means more than I can put into words.
  
  Thank you TF2, thank you rewind, thank you everyone.
  See you at I63
  See you at Rewind3

Thanks to everyone for coming out and making it such a lively and uplifting experience! Also special thanks to all the ESA staff. They're all so genuinely kind and helpful, it was a pleasure to hang out there. They're not just good employees, they're good people that care about the community.

Hopefully I'll get to come out again next year :)

I love all of you
