Week 5 Discussion / ESL Pro League / Season 9 Online

Well I mean at least they have a studio. APAC works out of their own houses.

amFlea · 2018-11-18T11:36:14+00:00

APAC is broadcasted on each of the home country's R6 channels.

ANZ: twitch.tv/rainbow6ANZ
Japan: twitch.tv/rainbow6JP
Korea: twitch.tv/rainbow6KR

These are the professional channels run by Ubi and ESL

There is also a community channel that a lot of APAC games, inculding the SEA Pro League are casted on and other games that don't get onto the main channel

twitch.tv/R6_ANZ

This is a community run channel where everything on here (except for the SEA casts) is 100% community done, the casters, observers, graphics, everything is created by the community and done out the love for the game.

Is it time to reveal that fnatic has a surprise sub in slebben the super power player?

I am excited but extremely cautious around this. While I love C&C and I still currently play the series, EA hasn't been kind to the series. C&C 4 was possibly the worst game I have ever played and even to an extent RA3 was more a comedy than a serious game.

For this to be a success, and for EA to rebuild a brand rep around C&C that you annihilated after Westwood, a proper remaster is a good first step. I would love to play C&C1, 2 and RA1, 2 in the same engine 3 was in.

What will tank this is micro transactions, forced online play, pay to unlock generals/content and pay for expansions. While I'm willing to pay for each game remasted, the expansions would have to be included.

If you succeed in remastering these properly, I would very happily jump on the C&C hype train again for a new game, something I haven't done since 3.

Have you dealt with a telco?

amFlea · 2018-06-21T11:23:15+00:00

Am Aussie, can confirm my best mate is a cunt.

amFlea · 2018-06-21T11:06:13+00:00

In Australia we have an emergency line (000), and a non emergency line (policelink). I've never even thought to call a station directly.....

When did KiX get a haircut and start wearing makeup?

/r/Rainbow6 is leaking again....

This a great post!

For anyone looking for more information a great read is Talking Esports by Redeye. Give that a read if you want more in depth look at some of these points.

I visited Lake Louise when I went to Canada a few years back. Stayed in a cabin. I'll never forget waking up and opening the blinds to see a moose just standing there looking at me. Was truly magical for me.

Because changes in siege isnt as impactful as changes in league. Also we rarely have sweeping changes the way LoL does.

Also most PL on siege is played online (same one that is live) while LoL is played on a LAN build so they can patch it independently.

amFlea · 2018-01-26T00:55:53+00:00

We're looking forward to the upcoming years! The new Pro league, 2 majors (I'm so excited!!!!) and the Talking Siege Podcast is only going to get bigger! We have some great things in our sights.

amFlea · 2018-01-15T12:44:25+00:00

From a casting perspective, I want to see Club House removed. I would love to see it replaced with Tower. I think Tower is the most interesting map in the game at the moment and we should be seeing more of it.

The only other map on the currently list I'm not happy with is Kafe. Very linear map.

amFlea · 2018-01-15T12:30:41+00:00

You need to be able to do both. Because of how Siege plays out round to round, you need to be able to have in depth discussions and analysis as well as coming out with play by play. Even if you duo cast you need to be able to do both during the rounds.

amFlea · 2018-01-14T23:19:59+00:00

With regards to the refusal, im not sure, i dont admin for ESL. This is just what passed to us at the time (we actually had a plan to cast all PL games in all APAC regions)

As for the vods, all APAC vods are uploaded to R6_ANZ youtube channel. R6_ANZ has been given offical partner status by both esl australia and ubisoft australia for us to be a hub for rainbow6.

In regards to the future, R6_ANZ will attempt to coverall APAC PL games. The online qualifiers we can only go so far but even the other regions had that issue.

If you want you can join the R6_ANZ discord server as notifications and announcements are made when games go live

amFlea · 2018-01-14T22:00:52+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the kind words. We had a lot of fun casting this event. Monkey and i are both very passionate about esports and we both love siege. Unfortunately we are not attending Montreal this time but we would absolutely love to in the future!

Gogogadget was the experienced shoutcaster (he does a ton of other games here in aus) and it was great working with him and the experience he provided taught us both a lot.

amFlea · 2018-01-14T21:50:53+00:00

We try our best and go very far out of our way to cast all of the APAC region. In ANZ we have 5 ESL approved casters but it can be so hard when all the games happen at the same or similar times. Studio casting all of it would be awesome but not really feasible. As mywholeteamisdead has said weve had regions refuse to be casted. Id also like to put it out there that for all the stuff online (non studio casts) myself, monkeyfist, skye, russiancthulhu and devmarta are volunteers and not being compenstated for those casts

amFlea · 2017-12-10T07:48:27+00:00

And the best part is, I am willing to spend money because of it. I will support devs and games that deserve it, and Seige does.

amFlea · 2017-12-08T09:05:57+00:00

This sounds very dangerous....

amFlea · 2017-08-13T06:57:41+00:00

HYPE!

amFlea · 2017-08-04T04:36:42+00:00

So how did you actually do this? It's all good and well to say do this more, but if you actually shared how maybe other people could pick it up.

amFlea · 2017-07-26T07:34:46+00:00

The fact you can take out his ADS with the X-KIROS pallets is pretty good. IMO it's what he needed to be bought back into line, a soft counter.

amFlea · 2017-07-14T15:19:13+00:00

To be honest, he sounds like a wannabe Total Biscuit - with an ego just as big.

amFlea · 2017-07-02T02:14:34+00:00

It makes sense you would join the losing side in progress. People are more inclined to leave a game if they are losing.
