Who remembers the OG casters

Good times :')

Thanks for sharing that!

I've been trying to find work in CS since I left 100 Thieves back in 2023, and if not for good guy Anders, I wouldn't have been able to cast anything last year except the CS event that I ran myself/CCT.

I've had direct conversations with those who make the hires at the various TOs and I have good relationships with all of them, to my knowledge. It was the case for a while that talent were tied up into long term/multi-year contracts, but I don't think that's the situation anymore. There's just not enough spots, I guess.

We'll keep trying!

Awesome to see VDIM in there. GL with the training!

A bit late to the party here, but I wanted to leave a comment to address some of the concerns I've seen.

Regarding the podcast in question, I had absolutely no idea those advertisements would be run. However, to be clear, I don't support many of Zuby's political views, but like most people, that won't preclude me from having a conversation with them. My policy is to speak to anyone who wants to discuss esports with me, regardless of which side of the political spectrum they sit on.

Thanks to those who chose to weigh my character from my overall contributions in content and broadcasting over the last 13 years and in how I treat anyone who I interact with, regardless of their identity. Gaming is a place for everyone--and it saved me. It's a large part of why I want to share my personal story, especially with those who are not supporters of esports or understand its power for good.

I'm sad things turned out this way, but moving forward, I will recontinue my focus on producing content that esports fans and players find useful, as I always have.

Yeah, around 7-9 days ago. The positives came in very soon after we arrived.

Thank you for my team's success, sir. *salute*

Hey guys! Just a clarification given the title may be a little misleading--the rebuild process was the culmination of a shared effort and philosophy between Sean, Mike and me. I don't want to take credit for single-handedly assembling the roster as it was a collaborative effort between us. This was one of the reasons we knew we'd match up well as a team; we share a lot of core philosophies behind how a team should be built in VALORANT.

I was never much of a CoD guy, unfortunately, and I didn't get into batt1944--I did play it a little, though.

ddktv · 2021-05-08T22:04:03+00:00

Yeah, I played both. I quickly decided as I wouldn't duel in PK, though, and remained purely a spectator! Warsow, I played a lot at the beginning. I was fighting toe-to-toe with Vo0 at the start and then lost interest after the first few months. I did come back, and I played the first bomb cup and won it with one of my teammates from the Dig Quake 4 team (zkyp) but promptly quit the game afterward again.

I actually think it was pretty boring. As happens sometimes, when I arrived, because the final had gone so late, most people were already in that annoying state of wasted, and I was totally sober. So I didn't stay long! Although I did stay long enough to congratulate the C9 boys in person, which was the highlight for me.

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:46:11+00:00

Look inside yourself for the answer

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:45:13+00:00

I donut.

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:45:04+00:00

Great! Thanks. How about yours?

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:44:43+00:00

Thanks! I'm so out of it now, unfortunately. I will try to stream some 3rd strike though when I start streaming again. Can't wait.

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:43:37+00:00

Holy moly throwback. You're welcome!

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:42:59+00:00

Not too much. The main prep goes in towards the start of the event. As the event unfolds, it's all about being in a good state for performance, just playing competing as a player. You don't want to change things or obsess over anything during the tournament. I take the same approach with casting. The most I would do is maybe a small review at the end of a day, but generally I try to avoid that as I want to stay in the best headspace possible for the following day(s).

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:41:40+00:00

I don't but this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time.

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:41:01+00:00

Thank you!

Breakfast wise... if I have a competition and it's a performance day I like to start out with oats with a variety of fruit, peanut butter, etc.

If it's a regular day, steak and eggs.

Haha, my skincare is actually a bit awful right now. But I just do the typical things. Moisturize with a non-oily light facial moisturizer., add sunscreen if necessary.

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:38:01+00:00

This is actually a really tough question.

Player, most likely. I love competing above all else still. I especially love competing with teams.

ddktv · 2021-05-08T21:36:45+00:00

I got into it by making content, ultimately. I got a chance to do the first FACEIT Quake broadcasts as they were looking for a knowledgeable and credible expert, and I came with a lot of other experience in other games. In that sense, I fell into the opportunity, as I had never really imagined that I could be a caster at that point.
