Sublime EF Shoutcasts & Replaypacks

[Chancellor]

New shit.  We've opened up coverage on the Western Front.  Don't worry, we'll still keep doing Eastern Front shoutcasts too of course; its just that we're totally out of EF replays to work with right now.

Basically balanced 1v1s boil down to Angoville, Langres, and Semois. They each offer their own taste but they are THE most balanced 1v1 maps.

I like all three. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Langres is quite small and offers lots of flanking play, cutoffs, and plenty of resources, but combat is fairly dominat on the east side not the west. I feel the map is a bit crowded too which makes it deathtrap for mines.
Angoville is the average I feel. It's got 2 sides to it, a more urban enviorment which is fueled further by the hedges which block some flanking and leaves mining operations easy to do on the main road. The field on the left also offers better flanking advantages for the allied factions, and allow more maneuverability. The only problem I feel I have with this map is that basically it's low points and high points, and if you hold one side of the map you can win.
Semois is also a more urban enviorment. Mines make huge nasty traps on this map and I feel it's fairly balanced. Cutoffs will hurt you in the longrun if you don't watch your flanks.

My chart goes Semois=Langres>Angoville

I like Langres (which is weird since I hated it a while ago ) but I feel Semois has better resources spread out (medium fuel and muni around the tops + sides, harrassing). Langres is good with its strat points which encourage harrasing. Although I feel starting from the top of Langres is easier than the bottom. Is that just me

Edit: I thought you guys didn't want Brits . Change of heart?

Thats sad to hear .

Semios has the high fuel directly right next to your base.  Enough said.

Our policy has and always will be "Fuck the RMC".  That does not include vBrits.  Don't get us wrong; we don't like vBrits either, but we never said we wouldn't shoutcast them.

[Pac-Fish]

Any "new shit" expected ? I know you guys are low on EF games but I like watching my Sublime shoutcasts . I don't mean to rush you or anything

[Panzer4life]

Yauz, what happened this morning, did you lose connection to the game? It was angloville, and you set up a Russian forward base on the high fuel next to the VP. if that's the case, then why did Relic award me with the win, you had the men to crush my volk mgs. And also, will you guys only accept game from the EF mod, and not from vCoH?

[Chancellor]

@ Tranny: We'll try to shit out new casts soon, but so far we only have 1 suitable EF replay to work with.  Donthateme PMed me the other day and said some of the games we casted were boring, so we're gonna have to try to search even harder for suitable EF ones, and that will take a shitload of time, and no one other than GL Dennis has submitted a replay to us for ages.  Also, I've noticed a decrease in viewers for every consecutive cast.  Its depressing, but I think the casts might even have to stop if Snugz isn't up for it.

@ Panzer4Life: It said you dropped, and I got the win screen as normal, etc, but when I came out to the lobby I got a loss.  No matter, its just basic match.  To answer your question about what matches we cast, we do cast both EF and vCoH matches, with either Commentary format, or Review Format.  We can usually get good games on vCoH to cast, with top tier players, so finding replays for the Western Front Casts shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Also, I've noticed a decrease in viewers for every consecutive cast.  Its depressing, but I think the casts might even have to stop if Snugz isn't up for it.

With any Youtube series the view count will always drop. It bound to happen to anyone, dont be detered .

so we're gonna have to try to search even harder for suitable EF ones, and that will take a shitload of time, and no one other than GL Dennis has submitted a replay to us for ages.

GL finding a good game . I would try to get you one but my EF isn't working lately .

[Dann88]

Don't depress because of views number bullshit, it's still just the beginning. Your shoucasts are really good and unique, especially Yauz's commentary in 2v2 match.
Btw, GLD's voice like he had a cold in Yauz vs GLD shoucast.

[GodlikeDennis]

Haha yeah I actually was really tired and had just woken up. We discussed it beforehand and laughed a bit.

[Nils18]

Indeed. I am a great fan of your shoutcasts, even learned some stuff. The last one on the PIATS and PE was quite useful. Also, about the "inapropriate" language: as an experienced Russia specialist I can tell you that there is nothing Russians do more than swearing. A acquaintance of mine used to work as a translator of Russian messages during the Cold War but because they were swearing so much my friend (who had studied Slavonic Languages) had an interesting learning experience. So what I am trying to say here: swearing belongs on the Eastern Front.

[Chancellor]

The shoutcasts will be done soon; maybe around 1-2 days max.  The plan is to do one WF & EF cast each.

In the meantime, I posted a replaypack for you guys to enjoy (attachment on the front page).  Most of the EF team games were rapes, since Snugz and I didn't face much serious competition when we teamed together.  The EF 1v1s (except for the RMC bashing) should be decent though, and I also included vCoH games against other clans and one versus this level 20 basic match Resurrectedx guy I always find hosting 1v1 high resource games in the lobby.

With all due respect, you are a really good player but lets be honest, you and Snugz know each other really well and are using Mumble which makes things a hell of alot easier for team play. Most people just type or dont even talk.

[SublimeSnugz]

Yauz didnt mean to insult anyone with that message, its simply just his way of saying that you shouldent expect any long and equal games in the pack.

Im not at all offened . Im just explaining why some of the team games might be........underwhelming
