    Is it some kind of power thing :P, or why doesnt ns2 or ns2hd tweet this?
  • EgoGamerEgoGamer Join Date: 2012-06-21 Member: 153536Members, Reinforced - Onos, WC 2013 - Supporter
    Very much doubt it's a malicious thing, I reckon it just slipped their mind.

    Stop reading negativity into <b>everything</b>?

    I don't think there's any reason for <b>every</b> stream to be tweeted by NS2HD/UWE. Sure, if there's nice events that are newsworthy it can be a good thing if they bring it into attention more, but do you see Blizzard tweet about every SC2 stream? You probably understand where I'm going with this. (EDIT: Oh, and please just drop this subject from here, I know UWE = not Blizzard and NS2 needs the attention etc. - just don't think they don't tweet it to spite anyone.)

    More on topic: Go blind! I'll turn on the stream on one of my monitors! ;)

    I wish Blind's Cup got a special tweet like the Wasabi Cup :( This is lack of mustache discrimination!

    150 viewers and going up.

    UWE should tweet this - it's really entertaining and a great showcase for the game

    Also this is not an average stream it's a well organised cup with prizes :P

    You can watch it on the twitch stream. Just click videos underneath the player to see all the previous broadcasts.

    So, by my count on Day 1 (Rounds 1-4) the score is:
    Archaea = 8
    Exertus = 5
    Duplex = 5
    Hg = 4
    EoD = 2
    Cyd = 2

    Archaea has a lock on first place, but it looks like 2nd is still up for grabs depending on if Cyd or Hg get an upset win.

    Apparently Wasabi did an error in reporting the games. From the log:
    <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Sep 29, 13:40 EDT      nadyli reported a (2-0) win for Duplex over EoD.
    Sep 29, 13:48 EDT     wasabione reported a (1-0, 1-0) win for Exertus over Cyd.<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
    1-0, 1-0 counts as two wins, so they have more games won than Duplex even though they have the same score.

    Is the stream from Archaea - Exertus available anywhere? I think OMEGAWEAPON was casting it?
  • blindblind Join Date: 2010-04-17 Member: 71437Members, Squad Five Gold
    Yes OMEGA was casting it with ArcLight, that there was no livestream, just a record. I think ArcLight is about to encode the vids and put them on his YT channel.

    Once that is done, I will put all available VODs embedded on the page (blindns.com), but you can also check out his channel (youtube.com/hivecasts).

    Thanks for the note, I fixed it. I also reworked the site so it is up-to-date :)

    Good(?) news for competitive fans! Exertus will have 3 players streaming their last matches to the finals (yeah thats right duplex). I want to remind everyone that we are finnish clan and our mumble chatter will be recorded also so prepare your ears to hear a lot of finnish cursing. :)

    Live now again! :D
  • DarkScytheDarkScythe Join Date: 2012-08-30 Member: 156876Members
    Very nice stream so far; I caught the last couple rounds yesterday as well.

    Only problem I have is blind suddenly playing music today during the break..
    It's jarring, and conflicts with my own music playing. :(
    Only option is to mute the stream or stop it entirely and try to guess when it goes live again, since I'm on different tabs during the break.

    Otherwise, I like blind being more reactive to where the action is going to be. I slightly miss Hugh's attempts at describing the overall strategy and why some players do what they do, though.

    Joining the fun!
    This really flew under the radar...

    And why does no caster care to put the clan names in the topmenu anymore? I don't think they canned the feature from insight?!

    Various issues with that. It will be utilized in future casts

    GGs, shame about how Comp. play in NS2 has become insanely one-dimensional, losing to such idiotic easy-win strategies that contain little to no risk/reward penalties makes me want to not play this game competitively anymore.

    Pubbing is more fun than this as I can employ interesting things with a chance of success involved, rather than knowing if I do anything different I'll just lose because the enemy team skips entire tech trees or force me to dump boat loads of Tres to cling onto life to stay in the game :(
