LOL life coach.

ESL quarters vs Reynad. Makes the noobie mistake of thinking all hunters are playing freeze, uses FON on face and loses it all to explosive. Reynad even makes a noobie mistake of playing his minions out of order for missed attack.

I LOL'd.

I don't think it was a super noob mistake tho. It caught him by surprise so Reynad must've not been using it until that match in previous rounds.

Reynad v KitKatz game 5 fireball topdeck was amazing. The quarterfinals and semis have been really fun to watch.

i was watching some games and kripp, kibler and chakki were commentating.
it was kind of fun to see how different the skill levels of these 3 were.
kripp is just not good at all, kibler is decent but not a top player and iw as really blown away by how good chakki is.
really liked his commentary and approach to the game.

^^ agree 100%. Poor Kripp. I've heard that Chakki isn't well liked for some reason or another but I was really impressed by his knowledge and what seems to be a natural talent for commentating competetive events.

chakki is disliked because he is a general dick to other players. most speculate hes salty guys like savjz and reynad look pretty good while he is a chubby mclovin

i think kripp plays/understands the game very well usually, just not used with how to play specific tournament decks.

he often sees better plays than the pro players that commentate with him.

I agree that Chakki seemed on another level than everyone else he was talking with. But that's a guy thats been playing constructed only since day 1.

Oh, and he's not ******ed like Gnimsh

Gnimsh is the worst. Drags down any casting team.

its pretty insane that he can still get casting jobs. Hes literally the worst caster of any game ive ever seen, so like out of hundreds of casters.

reynad kind of is annoying to listen to sometimes. Though for the most part he is good.

i know right? he plays terrible but i have seen him in the high legedary ranks quite a few times. he must be doing something right.
in that regard he is like kripp wheni see them play or played them they seem terrible but they do have some success so they must be doing something right.
maybe gnish is just real good at picking the right deck.

also i once lost to reynad on stream. not one of my prouder moments.

Yeah agree 100% on Chakki, I was already pretty sure he was as good as he seemed from some other random streams and watching him play, but he was so much better as a caster with actual good knowledge and it cemented it for me.

Thankfully other face hunters and aggro players aren't as good as he is cause **** that would suck. It's already too easy for them to face roll and win, if they actually made all the right decisions on a turn by turn basis that would suck.
