2017-04-25 18:43

hes still been hosting their crap. and btw if it really was esls fault (it isnt like i said) that machine isnt hosting and we got fucking moses as a fucking desk host then we should all boycott that company so hard they are all hobos by next year. i mean come on moses cant do desk hosting he just cant.

2017-04-25 18:56

Everyone has to start somewhere you know... he doesn't have that much experience with hosting...

thats not even my primary issue. he can go and pursue a side career as a desk host in dota2 or whatever. wouldnt care, even if i was actually watching that game. the problem is that he as a host will always be in a position where he is asking questions that he himself should be answering as an analyst. after seeing him from when he first started to come up as a color caster in NA its just awful having him sat there asking dumbfounded questions instead of being the one to answer them.

2017-04-25 23:12

cool to see dazed =D

Thank God people stopped hiring thorin.

-1, absolute ResidentSleeper desk without him and instead with three people that barely speak english and moses who is best as a caster, passable as an analyst and absolute fucking garbage as a desk host.

Nice. Last time I saw Vendetta as an analyst I thought he was really good.

No Thorin?

WutFace

Atleast Alex <Goldenboy aka WutFace> Mendez

goldenboy? dazed? cmon first esl tournament without pansy? xD

No Thorin, no joy.

fak of dazed

2017-04-25 18:45

DAZUEDED PAPY WAIFU HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI

2017-04-25 18:46

NO PANSY WOOOO THEY ARE STARTING TO REALISE THAT OTHER TALENT ARE MILES BETTER :)

Yeah, like blu, for example...

2017-04-25 19:01

Him and Dazed are a great duo. His casting and Dazed's insight is miles better than pansy could ever dream to achieve. Even if she had Moses carrying her.

2017-04-25 19:08

Why you hate blu , I think he is a good caster especially with dazed

2017-04-25 18:48

bcs hes a shit caster, particular in combination with dazed, whom he has absoltuely no chemistry with. its like their second season together and their casting together still barely has evolved at all. during downtime it is a lot of awkward giggling from blu, references to sports and rap of dazed that blu does not udnerstand. during the game its blu SHOUTcasting every round in the exact same generic fashion, afterwards dazed doing analysis for way longer than appropriate and blu continues seemingly without taking note of anything dazed just said.

2017-04-25 19:02

Does SPUNJ live in the US?

It's your boy DaZeD

Yea get BLU instead of pansy what

Going to switch streams whenever I see dazed

why blu? holy cow he sucks

2017-04-25 18:51

incredibly annoying, but with dazed it's bearable

2017-04-25 18:53

dazed got a big gig woo

2017-04-25 18:52

STOP HAVE EVERYTHING IN NA

2017-04-25 18:55

2017-04-25 19:16

2017-04-25 19:17

2017-04-25 19:21

2017-04-25 19:50

2017-04-25 20:33

Goldenboy is actually really good. He's done many other games.

2017-04-25 20:49

why blu he is the worst caster even rahim is better

2017-04-25 22:05

guys... real talk here but BLU is still better than Semmler

2017-04-25 22:28

Not at all.

2017-04-25 22:29

they are both bad, but while blu makes me "eww", Semmler makes me want to punch my monitor

2017-04-25 22:30

What does he do that u get so mad lol

2017-04-26 07:55

Blu is the worst caster in the scene. Plus he doesn't know shit about the game. DaZeD is going to have to carry hard.

u ruined the blessing of dazed and no thorin with retarded kiddo blu

2017-04-25 22:34

Janko "YNk" Paunović prva jedan or number one !!

2017-04-25 22:35

2017-04-25 22:40

Dazed best caster ;), blu is fine... give him a break.

2017-04-25 23:07

i freaking hate machine.. im tired of hearing gay jokes.. maybe its a euro thing but i hate seeing gay shit going on a counter-strike stream.

2017-04-25 23:11

BLU XDDDDDD

2017-04-25 23:16

goddamn the amount of dicks blu has sucked to get this spot is insane

Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill - Analyst Janko "YNk" Paunović - Analyst Halvor "vENdetta" Gulestøl - Analyst What is the point in getting Tier3 analyst's? Surely someone more experienced would be beneficial.
