2/2 conductor, nice round of preds!

GL to everyone. you dont have to be mad, its just gravelpit.

hey this guy...he always wears shorts. i have been playing with antwan for the past two seasons off and on in scrims, he pulled through and is playing scout for us right now, and he is amazing. he has a great foundation for scout, he can play either passive or aggressive scout roles. amazing DM, amazing personality, and WILLING TO LISTEN AND IMPROVE.

he's still looking for a team, any high open or low IM team looking for a scout should give him a shot!

great player, super nice guy. should have started this season, but he just played backup for two playoff teams.

put him behind your pocket and he'll do a bang up job :)

needless to say, we're kind of counting on getting dos'd again. our team has already had high latency problems throughout the season (sonnnn lives in hawaii ffs) so i guess this is just another thing to deal with.

these weren't technical problems. it was malicious attack.

we were in the process of getting a 6th after preston got dropped. we brought in another backup (X) to replace rikachu even though in the cast it doesnt say it was him. if you watch the STV demo, you can see rikachu times out completely during the end of the 5th round and that is the reason for the first pause. he had to renew his premium (shitty) to come in and play 5v6. shortly after X comes in, preston drops out of mumble and then a minute later drops completely out of the game. we then pause the 2nd time for less than 5 minutes because we're trying to figure out what we should do. we had messiah aka frog1 online as well as trisk who we debated about paying up to play the match and finish it, but this would have taken time as well. we knew that the crunchy bunch had to leave soon, and we knew we were getting fucked and that most likely insom or antwan would be getting DDoSed next if we brought a 6th in. in the end, we didnt want to waste more money and time on a shit match.

to answer your hypothetical question: we would have waited as long as possible for them to figure out their shit. yeah its shitty to wait around but in the end, even if we were down 4-0 its probably because we were playing like shit. we try to take our losses pretty gracefully, theres no shame in losing to a team that is better than you.

ya know, if there was enough evidence other than him whining about being picked on that he DIDN'T have anything to do with this shit, i'd be the first to apologize.

but you're right, i shouldn't single out someone with a history of suspicious behavior, but its really hard to understand why someone would do this in the first place. you would have to understand its pretty frustrating for this to happen to you and not have any clue why it was happening. who would hate us enough to take the trouble of sabotaging a match? whats the point? why is this only happening in open? and why were the 4 people i mentioned implicated in the first place?

never had a problem with bape or bullet or anyone in game or outside of it. no reason for me to talk shit to anyone tbh. but it sucks to be on the receiving end of some stupid lame shit such as a ddos attack.

haha we actually said in mumble to do that. we were ready to park the fucking bus but then we just figured, fuck it. don't wanna go out like chumps.

were you ever ddosed? were you ever cheated out of a game you should have won? do you feel like you wasted your time, energy and money because some idiots think its funny to ruin something you like to do?

go to fucking bed.

yeah, you're the fucking victim. i forgot, silly me.

sorry tomm, we couldnt beat them 5v6 :(

insom will stream us playing crunchy bunch if you want, but on our server hahahaha

BROTHERS. IT AINT A BIG DEAL JUST LET IT GO. IT HAPPENED AND ITS NOT GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS CRUNCHY WANTS TO OVERTURN THE MATCH OR SOMETHING, WHICH THEY WONT.

lets just play the rest of the season and hope bape, bullet, nero, or brands or any of these fucking virgins get a new hobby.

i cant even read this because the esea site is not responding to me :(

rikachu and preston are coming back into mumble now, their internet is fine. we just want to say that the crunchy bunch is in no way responsible for what happened tonight.

X had to renew his premium to come in and play with us. we're going to reimburse him and we really appreciate him coming in and trying.

with that said, there is no fucking doubt in my mind that these kind of things need to be addressed both with individual players and with ESEA.
