    On ENSL from season 4 ( to s15) i was somewhat active on HLTV, now when watch this casts i miss them sooooooooooo much. The game just aint there yet to make interesting well balanced games that can alter to side or another.

    Almost everytime when i spend 15 mins watching these matches they ysually just end up on lifeform rapes in very anticlimatic form. 4 hours of matches one marine win (i read somewhere when there was match marathon) doesnt it tell that the game ain't ready yet.

    I have my hopes up and will come back to it on more close to release.

    Still keep up the good work and continue casting these matches to everyone whos interested in watching them!

    Correct me, if I'm wrong: 12pm US-PST is 8:00 pm GMT?
    For the europeans here with CET (MEZ) + daylight saving time:

    12pm US-PST = 22:00 CET+DST

    I'll have to embarass Hugh now, but it was just hilarious how he and WasabiOne were worshipping Zeikko as the god of NS2 commanding while Scrajm was actually the commander in both marine games. Zeikko wasn't in the command chair even once. :)

    REALLY enjoying the live streams of the matches (and playtests, etc.), thank you so much Hugh & UWE for doing them, and thank you to the teams for being my weekly entertainment! I will never be as good as the competitive players and it is a blast to watch them work. Not to mention it is one of the best ways to learn strategies! Actually considering doing comm more after watching them :P

    I worship him as a god of strategy - I was getting my wires crossed :) (Easy to do when live for 4+ hours)

    Yes... I felt really bad about that... I have also come to know that the entire ARC team is actually all good commanders and they switch out often.

    Yes, they have at least 3 active and very good commanders: Zeikko, Scrajm and Grissi. They switch commanders mid-game sometimes to maximize medspam.

    Also, nothing to feel too bad about, it was just so hilarious watching it and telling Scrajm afterwards, then listening to his uber rage. :D

    Hehe! Yeah all the glory of the great medpacking, ARC microing, nano-shielding, RT recycling, etc. goes to Scrajm. He's a great commander and has brought a lot of depth to the strategies of Archaea.

    <!--quoteo(post=1926437:date=Apr 17 2012, 07:06 PM:name=WasabiOne)--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (WasabiOne @ Apr 17 2012, 07:06 PM) <a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=1926437"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Yes...

    You are right. We have been changing the comm in the past games when pres of the commander has been limiting our play. I would say that we have a lot of commander talent and smart players in the team. I have to say that it's not just me who creates our team's strategies. The whole team is doing great work on bringing up new ideas, crunching numbers with spreadsheets, trying new build orders, timings, etc. I have learned a lot from all the strategy discussion we've had especially with Scrajm and Grissi.

    Awesome casts anyhow! It was great to see many cocasters. WasabiOne and Arkanti added a lot of value to the casts and raised a lot of god points about the games. It's fascinating the watch our own games from a replay and see all the stupid mistakes we made and discuss how to improve performance on those situations as a team. I'm also very happy to hear that the cast had over 200 viewers!

    I hope we can have many more similar events.
