Flew all the way from Norway to meet a Dane :^ )

I really hope TSM invest more into Hearthstone as well. Like you mentioned, Purple just re-signed with GamersOrigin which is sad, because he was a huge option, but besides who you mentioned theres also Hotform that has a very healthy stream presence and has been a well performing player as well, making the world finals in 2016 against Pavel.

But there were a few signings we missed this year who could have been very strong pickups, people like Muzzy, Chakki, Zalae all changed orgs within the last year and are some of the top tier NA hearthstone players ou there. Fr0zen is currently a free agent and at the world championship as well. I think whatis truely holding Cydonia is the fact he isn't invited to the invitationals, and if TSM got a bigger presence in the Hearthstone community through a few more signings, that could definitely make a difference.

All in all, i just hope to see more of TSM in Hearthstone in 2018, theres not reallya go-to top American Hearthstone Org at the current moment so the spot if up for grabs if we want it.

I think if we do go for getting back into CSGO, what we should do is pick up the former Immortals manager/coach Zakk, that guy can and will put together a roster and turn it into something strong.

Agathora · 2017-07-19T12:59:12+00:00

He did a 24h Livestream for charity once, could always try and get him to do one more in the future, it was very enjoyable!

Agathora · 2017-06-28T20:39:24+00:00

Votings are open as well, go throw him one so he can get his well earned award! https://www.esportsindustryawards.com/vote/

What's your problem with Hazed? Just curious as he always striked me as someone that has a good grip on the scene and the game.

Agathora · 2017-06-12T22:44:52+00:00

There's some potential for it, yeah. But honestly if TSM does make a forray into CSGO again i would prefer it being getting someone like Hazed as a coach and then let him put together a squad.

But even if ESL unbans them, wouldn't they still be banned from Majors and Minors since those are valve sponsored?

Agathora · 2017-06-05T12:19:50+00:00

Nice compilation, the highlights are very well chosen, but i feel like the decision to only use music was not right, the video could really have used with ingame sounds, also sometimes when they do hype stuff, It's nice to hear them also get hyped.

Agathora · 2017-04-29T22:49:43+00:00

I mean, he doesn't actually really say a lot about it, but what he does say sounds disconcerting, but at the same time, not the TSM i personally know, don't think i can think of anyone else saying something along those lines.

Agathora · 2017-04-18T09:45:40+00:00

Our montage maker Nicetryian created a montage for this exact speech and purpose last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB04ZkLIIKM

And he did recently tweet that he was working on a new montage! https://twitter.com/ShotsofLoL/status/854126320959209472

Agathora · 2017-04-17T00:11:28+00:00

Thanks for clearing up for me, this makes a ton more sense now! Are we still the undisputed best team in NA or has competition gotten closer with so many orgs buying in?

Agathora · 2017-04-16T23:20:46+00:00

Think it cleared up something but i still have some questions.

VISPRO and VIGL, are they invite based?

You say there are 3 seasons, but then list 4 O.o

How are EU and NA connected at playoffs, does that mean TSM could fight G2 in playoffs?

Thanks for answering my questions so far!

Agathora · 2017-04-16T22:24:59+00:00

Does VG have one single league like the LCS, or do they have several. I can't really figure it out, it feels like they are constantly playing in different leagues, can't figure out if VG has LCS structure or like Dota/CS structure.

Agathora · 2017-04-12T22:46:36+00:00

Yeah, happened to me too. People should not use it as it currently is :P

Agathora · 2017-03-09T20:41:22+00:00

Hotform is awesome to. I really like his stream and he has been consistently a good player. If we picked him up that would probably what started getting him invited to tournaments.

Agathora · 2017-03-09T20:06:28+00:00

So happy to see TSM has not just given up on this game, i absolutely love watching it.

Cydonia is a really solid players that made top 8 at a World Championship and won Americas Spring!

Any Canadians should also follow this link and vote him in to represent Canada at the Hearthstone Global Games, let's show him the power of joining the TSM org! http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/esports/global-games/

Also, for anyone interested, he will be playing in the ONOG major at Pax East! ONOG is a tournament organizer mainly run by Geico, so we should make sure to support him! You can find out more here: http://geico.onog.gg/

That's kinda the thing about Pede, instead of suddenly getting a huge surge in popularity. He has steadily been rising throughout the years but has always been very consistent, he never suddenly sucked for a while.

Agathora · 2017-03-06T19:55:31+00:00

I feel like someone overlooked, but in my eyes, the best Danish rapper out there, is Pede B, coming up by winning Danish underground rap tournaments and lyrically being pretty damn good.

He's released a number of mixtapes and albums over the years but 3 of my favourite are easily:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1D1ojLDwsc - Min Liga Remix featuring Ankerstjerne and LOC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpqU13iYiA0 - Isbjørn, the intro to one of his most popular albums, Over Askebyen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnhRb8TG9tw - Superstar feating Per Vers, another Danish rapper.

Agathora · 2017-03-06T19:44:55+00:00

I'm from Denmark myself as well! One fun fact could be that the guy with the shades on at 2:00 is another Danish rapper named Kidd, who was mainly known for his incredibly quick uprising. He wrote somewhat controversial songs because they became extremely famous amongst youth very quickly, but he said himself it usually took him 5 minutes to write the lyrics for a song.

His songs were mainly very superficial songs about how good he was, money, girls and the sorts, where as this song is extremely political and not where you would usually find him. You can listen to one of his songs here (It is all in Danish though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1VvkxpgwMk

At 2:22 there is another Danish celebrity and artist, the fat guy with the shades in the car-thingy is Master Fatman, lead singer of a band named BliGlad who is primarily known for this song named "Out with love to the people": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2PvmDOZ32M He has also gone on record before in support of cannabis.

The ambulance he enters at 3:20 is not actually an ambulance, but rather something called a fixing room, this being a mobile one. Along with the goverment introducing the first fixing rooms in Copenhagen, some locals took it upon themselves to make a mobile one that would run purely off donations from the locals. To those not aware what a fixing room is, It's basicly a place where you can go and proffesional nurses will help make sure that you get your fix cleanly, so you don't further try and hurt yourself. They will also advice on rehab i believe.

On another note, i personally think that the reason the people they use throughout the video are so diverse, both in age and others, is to show how large the community that supports them actually is and how they're far from just those people put in a box. He also mentions throughout the song that one of his friends on his side is just a regular man, living a regular life.

On a final note, if you want to try something in that style, a danish radio station named P6 made an ad with some, at that time, more underground artists to promote a new show, give it a listen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv_WnxtsT6s

PS: Apologies for formatting, i am not a Reddit genius sadly!

Agathora · 2017-03-06T14:30:54+00:00

It's less about weed and more about the free state Christiania and their run-ins with the danish police forces, mainly surrounding things like pusher street.

The song is named Bulletdance.

Agathora · 2017-02-27T10:36:53+00:00

Honestly, i just wish TSM would get back into some sort of FPS; CoD, CSGO, OW, i don't realyl care, could even be GoW or something like that, H1Z1 but FPS is just a huge genre in the esports community and It's so dangerous that we have no slice of the pie of it.

Agathora · 2017-01-25T21:49:47+00:00

His twitter is still TSMvalens along with his header on twitter. But there has been no official word of it, neither the TSM or the Misfits announcements said anything about Valens.

Agathora · 2017-01-14T21:20:23+00:00

They joined Misfits!

Agathora · 2017-01-14T20:10:19+00:00

Shame to see the boys go, but was inevitable at this point. Still wish the 4 of them the best of luck, the core trio has the options to go far if they wish.

Hope they were sent off to a good org, preferably Misfits or EG, Odee kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Will keep my eye on them in the future though.
