This needed to be brought home to the rest of the GIFs.

I've never observed in Competitive play where the "stalemate" timer in 5CP run down to zero. so honestly I'm not sure of the side effects of making it shorter would be.

There's a couple different options that can be done, it could be the stalemate (which nobody likes) or it can go to Sudden Death, which sends everybody back to their spawns based upon capped points (so if you own three you respawn at 1st forward). What might be interesting about that is, given that each player only has one life how it changes the playstyle of each class, and it also ensures a round win for one team or the other.

Alternatively we could take it away entirely, and just run off the half/match timer. Defenders could definitely try to hold out at last if they wanted but they'd face a losing fight, if it stalled out past 10 minutes it'd probably the attacking team's fault for not learning how to push.

I know, he apologized to me on Slin's stream the other night, so we good :)

Plus I adore Red Pandas, so here's another one:

Now I see why Ploxo was apologizing last night... Oh well.

Hey there Awesomegy,

If you're looking for a big repository of STVs to work with, take a look over at some match pages on ESEA. Every match from the past three months is on there.

Here's an example for you to see where you need to look to get started: http://play.esea.net/index.php?s=stats&d=match&id=3199420

Have fun!

A shame we can't lock both teams in sealed chambers like they do in Starcraft.

I've heard it doesn't hurt to get some feedback on whatever you're doing, so here I am.

I've been casting for the past couple of months, various end-of-season and post-season ESEA matches and whatnot. And I'm curious to see what I can do to improve my casting abilities and help promote the community. At the moment I've been working on my game sense and trying to elaborate plays in relatively plain English for newcomers while making it just technical enough to where they can pick those up as the same time.

I'll put my most recent cast here, which was with BlackOut Gaming TV (thanks again guys!). Let me know what you guys think of it.

Thanks!

Because nothing is more annoying than a Kritzed Santa-Hoovy.

Pretty fun match to watch, thanks again to BlackOut Gaming for letting me come hang out with them :)

1st :3

Where you at?

At least it's synced with the music somewhat.

Sure why not?

It also took a turn for the weird after the Fiasco last week.

Looks good, I can help you test it on a stream.
