Although the Global Finals are a few days passed... I haven't had a chance to write up any thoughts about it yet so I figured I'll give you a few of my thoughts on it before moving on to other topics.

Obviously overall I had a great time at the event as we were able to win it, and I would have to say that although this years event was plagued by DDOS attacks which created massive delays on the first day, and some of the second that the event was overall better than the previous years.  We were th…  More

As the other writers have said, Blackrock has been the worst server to play on due to latency issues. Vicious Cycle has taken quite a few hits to our raiding team because of this, the lag has forced us to halt raids and attempt whatever boss is more "doable" with the handicap. With some of our raiders having to practice for the upcoming ESL Global Finals Tournament, we've really been struggling to fill raids. If anyone wants to raid with the #1 PvE/PVP guild, send an application to Trancey on Bl…  More

 

World of Ming's New (but surprisingly old) Direction

Firing someone is rarely easy. Even the worst employee in the world can be difficult to let go if they're the type who feebly clings to any crap of relevance they may have had for the company. It's even more difficult if the person you're firing depends on the job that you're paying them for having children to feed, a mortgage to pay or like everyone else, have insurance companies looking to continue their "screw-you-over-but-you-have-no-choice…  More

Hello Eurospective readers.

First off let's get the 'LyuzeNewz' bit out of the way.

Yes as the title suggests I've managed to do what every single aspiring Arena Rogue needs to do: Find himself a good Priest. The Priest in question is actually an alt of a very amazing and famous player and Priest was, once upon a time, his primary class. He has asked me not to reveal his secret identity but if anyone can get me to 2.5k in season 8 it's him. Wish me luck!

Also in LyuzeNewz I finished all my exams fo…  More

After settling from the cold weekend in Edmonton, Alberta, myEG.net sat down with EG.WoW captain Isaac 'Azael' Cummings-Bentley to talk about the tournament. Everything from problems with the admins to his thoughts on the Wizard Cleave comp were covered, so there should be something for everyone. Be sure to check out the snippets below and then head HERE to see it all.

EG|dunn: Like you said, you're going to find out soon enough, since you qualified for the IEM Global Finals by placing in the top…  More

ok nobody seems to have a ******* clue what's going on here so here's a quick update.

Issues
- Tournament Spectator client doesn't work with the new patch, no games broadcasted
- Vhell supposidly fixed the client, playoff games should be streamed tomorrow

Group B
The first major problem is, ESL has a different score for the EG/Fnatic games.

Fnatic > EG 3-0
Fnatic's RLS actually beat EG's wizard cleave, which was supposedly running arcane/destro for most of the tournament (A WHOLE BIG 2 SERIES).

Becau…  More

Hey guys, welcome back to Lacanoz day, and to Eurospective. I've decided to steal tonight as I felt I had some reasonably interesting content ready.

A Revelation
So, for those of you that remember my last blog, I talked about how I wanted to make my blogs more "likeable". No-one, bar Lyuze, had any suggestions. I guess I'm going to have to accept that, for all the effort that goes into my blogs, they're not going to be the most enjoyable of blogs to read. However, I hope those.of you that read my …  More

The weekend is approaching and thus the American championship finals of the Intel Extreme Masters are coming closer. Team EG's Azael took the time to answer a couple questions regarding the tournament and his new team. Here's a snippet:

How well prepared are you for the American Championship? Should we consider your team as the favourites of the competition?

Isaac 'Azael' Cummings-Bentley: We've prepared quite well for the tournament, although we've had some issues with getting in practice due to …  More

sitting here wrapped in this blue blanket talking to azael, ven, and pookz on skype..

last night, we were playing 3s on blackrock disconnecting all over the place, and near 1AM sodah realized the final that he rescheduled from saturday to wednesday conflicts with another final he has to take on wednesday.  so he has to take the regularly scheduled final on saturday, meaning no ESL.  i called vrty at 1AM and he can go with us instead...

now sodah joins skype and we start singing "wednesday and wedn…  More

It's been a long weekend. I just woke up from 14 hours of sleep as I wasn't able to sleep more than about 3-4 hours a night. But it's been great fun and an amazing experience for me. Syeren did a great job on Saturday and sadly he was busy on Sunday and I couldn't find a replacement fast enough. Doing it myself was nowhere near possible with the articles I wrote for Gotfrag. If you want to reread them to relive the emotions you had you can check them out here. And yes for some of us it was emotional. You can call me idiot for that if you want, it's no biggie. We were sitting with so many different pro players on Syeren's vent and even some of them were cheering if either SK.EU won a round or Check Six lost one. I still love you Twixz; he's a great guy. …  More

WoWverload tonight with Yiska - Don't miss it.


I'm scared even though I'm said to be the Blogfather.  Only a couple of hours to my second humiliation after the one on Arenacast. This time I can blame it on brain fatigue because of jogging though, which was an awesome plan.


I apologize in advance for my coughing which will surely happen. If you guys have awesome questions or topics to talk about,…  More

What's up y'all?  New day, new blog and yesterday has been a day of emotional ups and downs for me, **** - is - unreal. Let's start from the very beginning, shall we?

 

 

Yiska on Arenacast

 

 

7pm CET - JP calls as I agreed to be on this weeks Arenacast. I had a couple of topics in mind and I wanted to have at least a witty introduction. And as everything in life, things don't work out as planned and... one just acts absolutely retarded and has no clue went to shut is stuttering trap. First "show" I'…  More
