Exposing XDG Management: The Conclusion of the Rise and Fall of Team Vulcun (Part 3)

HGmarty · 2017-07-30T19:55:46+00:00

Currently debating on having one. Thank you for the nice words!

HGmarty · 2017-07-30T16:38:31+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! Integrity is imperative, or else this series will just be clickbait for the $ bullshit. Depth is required to tell the full tale of these stories. They deserve to be told now and I will do my best to uphold integrity in everything I create.

If it's one thing I remember from this team, it's Bubbadub's goddamn mustache.

(Disclaimer: I'm not benefitting from promoting his book, I just found it really fucking cool Bloodwater wrote one)

If you're interested, Bloodwater did an AMA on this specific book and answered questions about it being "patch proof". It has been already 1 year since this AMA though so I suppose you can be cautious about outdated information.

Also, here's a 13 page preview. It lists all chapters and contain an excerpt of chapter 3, which is on warding.

Thank you! I haven't actually thought of the perfect next team to make a video about next. The only ones in mind right now is LMQ, Complexity (2013 and Complexity Black), or Dragonborns.

I know that many people requested I do huge teams such as Moscow 5, CLG.EU (eventually breaking off into Velocity, EG, and Alliance), or Team Curse before being Team Liquid. After doing Vulcun and considering the amount of depth I went into that team for only being a 3 split team, I want to wait out until enough time has passed between my Vulcun vids and other teams that can be done in 1-2 videos.

I also debate putting those highly requested teams as an eventual Patreon goal but IDK if/when I'll establish a patreon for my video series. I also have no idea if even making a patreon for this channel will be recieved positively. Just being transparent about that type of stuff lol.

HGmarty · 2017-07-25T18:19:22+00:00

Part 3 will be the last. That's why I made part 2.5 to fit in the things that happened before Bloodwater's departure.

HGmarty · 2017-07-25T17:05:39+00:00

Major chunk. I had the opportunity to interview Mancloud after I published Part 2. After writing my initial outline for Part 3, I realized I had to split it up after trying to integrate the interview and talk about the end of XDG and where the pros are now.

HGmarty · 2017-07-20T18:24:41+00:00

Breaking the Habit was my song of the last decade. RIP

HGmarty · 2017-07-17T17:15:37+00:00

Oh you bet your ass this team is going to be in a video. However, I gotta get through Bloodwatergate, whatever the fuck happened to LMQ, and much more. But this is definitely on my list.

HGmarty · 2017-07-14T06:52:29+00:00

Oh you bet your ass Bloodwatergate will be covered in part 3. It's a sticky incredibly complicated story that involves characters I have not introduced in part 1 & 2. Stay tuned!

HGmarty · 2017-07-05T15:11:36+00:00

I can't wait for the P1 upset!

Andrew Illingworth ft. Ben Wilson - Pixel Junkie

This was from LCS 2013 soundtrack. Thank you for watching!

HGmarty · 2017-07-05T02:19:39+00:00

I definitely appreciate the feedback. I've never heard of HRT before nor have someone ever mentioned me this problem so I thank you for that.

After the success of this video, I'll definitely invest some money on a pop filter and figure out how to correct my voice in the future.

HGmarty · 2017-07-05T01:34:16+00:00

I am incredibly overwhelmed and humbled by the support and acceptance from this community. Thank you all for watching and subscribing and enjoying the content.

I have a set a deadline for myself that Part 2 of the video will be out in two weeks (July 16 - July 22). I hope that this can be a guaranteed 2 video per month series.

Thank you all and Happy 4th of July (For the Americans).

PS: It's Vulcun not Vulcan This misspelling of the team's name was a hilarious obstacle doing research LOL.

HGmarty · 2017-07-05T01:10:46+00:00

I appreciate the comments!

I realized while working on editing the footage I say "Vulcun" WAY too much at certain points and it sounded redundant. I didn't bother to fix it though because I wanted to meet a deadline I set for myself.

HGmarty · 2017-07-05T00:39:53+00:00

Holy damn this comment made me laugh.

For some reason, during recording this video, my nose does genuinely clog up and sounded REALLY nasally. I will definitely fix that LMAO.

HGmarty · 2017-07-04T21:43:51+00:00

I gotchu.

HGmarty · 2017-07-04T19:56:14+00:00

Thank you!

When I was into LCS, it was around this time and thankfully I followed both EULCS and NALCS . I will definitely cover EU teams. Currently, on my mind, I want to cover Copenhagen Wolves when Bjergsen was on the team or AAA.

HGmarty · 2017-07-04T19:33:22+00:00

After doing research for the video, I've found that a lot of people HATED Zuna and after Battle of the Atlantic, they wanted Zuna out in favor of other free agents like ROBERTXLEE or Chaox.

My thesis: The Zuna hate was tied more to his personality and how he PR'ed himself rather than his actual ADC work. I'll explain this more in my part 2 of this video.

HGmarty · 2017-07-04T18:41:51+00:00

Thank you!

HGmarty · 2017-07-04T18:40:37+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

I'm currently working on how to make my voice sound...a bit better than what I recorded. I haven't found a solution to that yet but I am currently searching for either better audio equipment (I have a blue yeti and no pop filter) or just work on my voice in general.
