shoutout to anyone who watched blobs stream when i hijacked it

cyanic for default hunting in a lan tournament

I thought Adysky was an excellent caster. No awkward pauses, everything he said seemed to have a point to it(both during game and during delays+pre-game time filling), seemed to always know what he wanted to say before starting a sentence, good choice of words(especially for someone who isn't a native English speaker), kept tabs on what was going on in the moment and how the last fight happened really well. Kind of unbelievable he'd never casted before.

where did the arm thread go

Shoutout to my Fat Fucks circlejerk. Wouldn't be there if it weren't for them. Love you all.
Shoutout to LAN hugs.
Shoutout to all people I talked to, both the ones I met before and all the new friends I made.
Shoutout to jaegerbombs.

Shoutout to the random Icelandic dude (Name was Sios? non-TF2). Dude was on his 4th jug of mojito and bought me jaegerbombs. Saw him later that night when he was on jug #7 and he was still speaking full sentences and thinking properly. What a legend

Shoutout to Rose. LoL player who knew very little of TF2 so we spent the entire night introducing her to the TF2 community. her mind was blown when she found out you can just walk up to top players and talk to them (we went up to both ascents and se7en after ascent.na knocked se7en down to lower bracket). She was already hyped from just watching the cast so then explaining team histories and standing there talking to them was quite overwhelming prob. She said she might start to play tf2 because we're such a nice community. She'll be here again next year

cu@ copenhagen

Mad love dude, i was pretty insecure coming into casting first but i always wanna get somehow involved with the community even when im not playing. Also sorry for stuttering a lot, its difficult forming sentences as a non native speaker on couple of beers in for 2 hours.

Shoutout to the production team, as always they are busting their ass off to put up a show year after year and its incredible every time.
Shoutout to everyone that turned up and socialized with me, never be shy to talk to people when its your first lan, everyone is super friendly at lan
Shoutout to my se7en boys for taking the w again
Shoutout to sil what a fucking beast of performance even outside of the finals
Shoutout to plunk for being just an absolute madcunt overall

Shoutout to the people that i talked to last night, it was really nice getting to know a lot of people better and having some really hilarious and lovely conversations.

Thank you to those that also took the time to hear what I had to say, I guess maybe it got a bit deep to explain why im taking a break/quitting but it was also relieving at the same time to attempt to explain why.

Shoutout to those producing, belong don't deserve to host us with all the shit they put you through.

And a big shoutout to Heny and DrHappiness the Chadmin duo, they did a good job on keeping everything on time throughout the event, there wasn't any 1AM games anymore and they made sure everyone was readyed up on time.

Also DrHappiness made a kid in a wheelchair with his Dad move out of the way for the group photo, the man has a thirst for power and must be stopped.

There's a lot more I'd like to say but I just woke up and I'm too disorientated to remember anything right now.

GG
