π¬π§ Off day - mini vlog
#RoadToRiyadh
I see my jacket thereπ
More than enough
still in the arena π
Btw I got on a wrong train again
I want to rest more for OG
I booked a return with only Transport with Wales trains so i don't have a choice really
So I'm here till about 11 then gonna march for a train
W8 NO WAY I GOT ON A RIGHT TRAIN
pog
WHO TOOK MY CURSE?!
it's og blessing you
Need to try and find Vlady tomorrow
Time for food, bedge and hype for OG tomorrow
pog
make sure everyone knows, OG FANS GO TO SECTION 13
weβre gonna be a new ultras section like they do in CS majors
the flower house
On my wat back now
Quality broadcasts only here at esl
brexit production 
Gonna have to leave just to catch my check-in
Fun first day but now I sleep ready for a banger tomorrow. Need to lock in section 13 for OG!
SEE YOU THERE
Might have to consider a OG tattoo the air brush looks that nice⦠
SAMMME
I never felt so comfortable with a drawings on my body
But this one just feels right
Look what I managed to do
Just as promised
π
ty all for today was a blast

Morning everyone
Mornin'
Everyone as tired as me then? π
Aaaaabsolutely
RISE AND GRIND GAMERS
Will have to come find you lot today
gm!
the classic. 5 hours of sleep into barely waking up for matches tomorrow :3
i do that every major
Top 3 incoming
Real? 
On an unrelated note, ran into Matu yesterday. Wasn't expecting to see him there
yea matu was super chill. he just randomly sat behind me and had a chat while watching some of the liquid match
was cool to see him
Aww, that's sweet
I saw Quinn at standard zone
He was a bit lost
Found his girlfriend and went higher
most of the players ect. have had no chance to explore the spectator areas of the arena
so it makes sense he was lost.
glad he worked out where to get where he was going at least
Yo, who wants to fight IRL at the venue?
Me! - Benji
Deal.
Still tired
still not out of bed. ill get up by 9 and head out
hope the monster thing is open a lil earlier as i need it today
Very important question- who in here said hello to me and is in the same hotel? U had a blue tshirt i cannot remember ur name for the life of me and its bugging me
Was that last night coming back from the arena? If so it was @surreal copper
ITS TIME FOR OG DOTES DAY
He spoke to me in the arena but cos of all the noise i was overwhelmed and forgot
SECTION 13 IS WHERE THE PARTY GOES DOWN
Yeah, that's me 
HALLO!!
Hallo!
OG being on stage will act like a quadruple espresso
Havr u guys gone to the arena yet?
quadrouple expresso that causes you to lose your voice
arena doesnt open till 10 again right?
think im setting off a lil past 9
I've not even set off from home yet. It stars in 3 hours π
We're just setting off now, hoping the cold is gonna wake us up a bit
is it already? i arrived at like half 9 yesterday and it wasnt thaat bad then
Well by 9 yesterday it started to get massive
YES SIR
ah wait i was there around 20 past 9 or so yesterday thats how i was there as one of the first :p
<@&1226533678465679422> SECTION 13 RISE UP
wear your finest OG merch and be ready to give it everything you've got

RISE UP
My seal has more OG merch than I do...
Hello???
Xd
merch booth time? :3
I still need to get breakfast so I'll be there slightly later than yesterday
but I'll be there
Do u think they will open the doors early?
Nah 10am surely
I'm a broke student, maybe next time I'll prepare
it was a lil past 10 yesterday
yeah a little late yesterday but hopefully they'll iron issues out
Nope
Dont think an arena would want to do that
If you have any ideas for banners suggest one, cause I'm empty headed
Write out the discord link
JAHA
Oooh, that's one's good
I'm getting ready to start the day
Iβm over in the crown, just had breakfast but going to potter around the shops in a bit
Letβs try and get a chant going for ari to the tune of god save the king.
God Save OG Ari!
Long live OG Ari
God save Ari!
Send him victorious, happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save Ari!
@tough dagger save me a seat
Yes love
On the train now, making sure I get a double pint for this
Who wants to make a two part CAM ON ARI SCOR SOME FACKIN KILLS sign with me?
Hold every seat just to be sure
Splay yourself out completely
Just take more cardboard Cebs out of nowhere
And take all the seats
Not a big deal

Looks like DHL are handing out blank signs in the queue
Breakfast of champions

in comparison, girl dinner
DHL are handing out signs that are apparently gonna be on sky news

Oh we were in super quick yeah sorry!
Canβt get to the seats until like 11 though can we so weβll just have to form a stampede orderly queue
We can bunch up outside before it opens, so I wouldn't worry
Uh huh
The first one near the enter
But they aren't giving them yet, haha
There's like a giveaway you can sign for
I guess...
We are arriving
Love me beer
Love me Dota
GOD SAVE ARI
There is a queue after the queue?! π§
That's too British for me
Oh my days the queue towards section 13 is mad
Just come to us

Why is there a queue there??

Incredible series still
Best series of the tournament so far without a doubt unfortunate result but we go next 
Found these under my seat in the OG area of Block 13 - are they anyoneβs here?
Iβve kept hold of them but if no one claims them Iβll hand them in to arena staff tomorrow
what a good attitude! love it so much!
in my country when this happend, it is finder keeper 
Not mine
Sad to see OG lose but with lucky we can see them tomorrow for the fans. With my plane canceled i couldndt see them friday morning
Thanks for being excellent company the past two days. Not sure if I will come tomorrow as a bit dota'd out but had an absolute blast
I'm thinking of just going for grand finals honestly
I need to take photos with as many as possible tomorrow
Maybe even skip first game or 2
see how I am in the morning
Yall have vebe lovely company
See what you did Kit, OG had to nerf themselves by not picking Sniper
Kit is best hype man

I will be in the arena tomorrow afternoon
Drunk already?
I ain't waking up in the morning

And we are the best e-sport community that Im happy to be a voice of β€οΈ

I dont know how many times i need to Tell ya man, its a shit hero
Whole arena was 95% OG fans it was quite cool
like it's not just the OG section, there's fans literally everywhere
I am looking forward to getting some YouTube rewatches to see how much you could hear the crowd popping off
I hope it's a lot as in the arena it was loud as fuck
I promise you all 7 def have a voice rn
And Im typing ok swedish keyboard and couldnt give less fuck about all the wack autocorrects
SVENSKA πΈπͺ
HORSE???
JΓ€vla!
@lapis shore i thought you were the GOAT
@lean rain good news is I have my key, I'll pass yours back at the station
Too kind, it's you bro
Yay!
I'm a dumbass, that is all
Still
No
Will happily take photo with you all tomorrow, had a great fun in the crowd. Hoping my voice will come back
Even lack of sleep can't explain this one
Be kind!
It was in my hoodie pocket the entire time
Kit, he's Scottish, it's in our blood 
Shut
oh there's more of us?
What a goodun, we'll keep you two!
(It's not ours)
How dafuq has it not fallen out
I've told you am a Scot in the hardstyle discord cal 
DID YOU?
man I'm on 4 hours of sleep barely
Hahahaha
GGs, we went out with a bang π»
Have a long rest tonight mate. You need it
OGS fans were mega
Bro our cab driver is raciiiiing in this totoyota 
Sleeeep buddy

Gonna be there before us at this rate
@frail scaffold you were sat next to me, any chance theyβre yours? π

Need a selfie with the mullet gang
Kit is a gang?
i think someone have mullet too other than kit
Yes
Well, i missed them all weekend :p
I do but it's nothing in comparison to their glorious one π€
im even not in bham and i still can guess there is someone aside kit have mullet
we got taxi to hotel
Btw was papa sundstein chilling at the plus bit during the semi final?
Evening too
Taaaaapsen
i guess topson? but idk i dont really care for rest of tundra or either of the other teams 
Nuh I have a big headphones
the 50 minutes one sided games are not it

These games have got me wanting to play some dota myself
Exactlyyy
Same but I know. I'm gonna suck π
Need to get back on the mmr grind, lost like 6 in a row
Only up from there π€π€
It was awesome meeting you dude! A pleasure spending yesterday with you. Apologies for not spending as much time with you today.
Until next time!
I just want to play ogre again. Peak dota
Venge, treant, rubick or hoodwink for me
Naga as a hero just bores me. As you already know if it goes late game then it's pretty much known who will prevail
Isn't it always like that?
Visage holy based
Whoever wins the lower bracket game. :p
Hoodwink & dark willow π€πͺ
LOwer bracket runs are always so hype
Boo the boring hero's
Yea I guess. Although I didn't feel that way after Elite League
Ooh, maybe it's just me
I'll be supporting topson and 33
Sneyking my boi
And tobi*
But will never forget that mighty monkey
Had a lot of fun! π«°π½
Best community, love yall. Gn
Gn ππ»
Gn all 
Good morning team
Hello guys, i regret to announce that only one word out of three come out of my mouth today β οΈ
free drinks cup 
You are going to have to communicate with DHL signs?
Even if i appreciate good dota i dont have OG to cheer so my voice will be able to rest lmao
Free drinks pog??
Lmao saving grace for our voices ππ
No OG why LIVE π
I hope Ceb still stays in the event so i can share few french words with him, if i have no photo with og team or atleast Ceb i will be heartbroken 
to enjoy the wonders of birmingham
Reaaaal
Hoping the merch stall has an xl jersey ππ
i always struggle to get invested in matches without a team to support ngl.
will still go for the vibes and to hang out ofc but might be a lil later than usual
It's tougher, less chants. But will be cheering for all the plays π
Were are the plastic clapping things. Had them at previous Birmingham and always see them at Cs events π¦
Yeah me too
Yesterday I learnt about the plus section of the seating π€£π
Soooo. On time? π
If OG had won last night, I might have made some last minute change of plans for today. As it is, I'm okay missing the games -- I will miss a day with you fine people though.
I hope you all enjoy it. And looking forward to seeing some friendly faces in Copenhagen!
yea basically just not early :p
Weβre not heading over early today, weβre just trying to figure out when weβll come over
Yep I am going to have a chilled day before work tomorrow instead.
I'll go over for grand finals only I think
Fair enough dude. It was awesome spending time with you
Enjoy a well earned break
π
The fit choice ready for the late games in the pjs
Amazing
gonna go to resorts world to watch the footy me thinks
no voice clubbbb
thats my community manager π«‘
BBC just showed a short piece on the tournament on their news channel
pog
Very sketchy voice here too. π
Whats a voice
Same here too π₯΄
I expected mine to be worse
Pffft. That thing I heard for most of yesterday! π
It was wonderful.
HAHAHAH
Hooollllyyyy shitballs
That is how I would imagine a chipmonk to sound if it could speak English.
All that Valorant bass boost voice thirst trapping π
HAHA
Kit which song ruined your voice the most
sometimes my voice can become real deep π
Ari Kane
π«‘π«‘π«‘
I mean it was fucked way before
Dont even know if singing made much difference
But im guessing Helena
Can't believe someone put MCR on before me I was heartbroken
Hahah
Emos unite
I'm going to try and find this. On the local news, or?
The news channel, not localised
What like News 24?
yes
Yeah
Finally something interesting on 24 hour news
Ah okay
i found it it was at like 10:26 ish, just for a few seconds and nothing from the crowd 
π¦
So is Everyone expect cupe attending?
Yeah it was short as hell, and had a 360p clip of OG/G2

I'm up and gonna start moving to the arena soon. Might have to get some cheeky nandos on the way
bosh
Frenchman reported in.
Bed is comfy
i am already in the arena π
Xeno/Adam has checked out too.
Something something - old people cannot keep up. π
I just don't have a ticket, and without OG making it - can't be bothered to come back again and buy one π
I'm actually shocked I have one
starting the day with a drink π
Cause I wasn't able to talk properly yesterday
I'll come through for grand finals later probably
I kinda don't root emotionally for any of the remaining teams
Like, I'm indifferent about the result
so I will go get nice food first, sleep more, and then come down later
Thatβs our plan, gonna take our time this morning/afternoon and then come for the grand final most likely
yeah I'll go for the bo5
yeah thatβs my biggest problem
if any of the other 5 teams in the bracket were still in id cheer for one of them 
but π·πΊbb vs πΈπ¦falcons will be the worst final ever
If falcons win at least we can say we Lost to the winner
We can say that for betboom too
True
I just don't care for either
Same same
random question do you think wizzair will stop me when they see two bags instead of one?
i only have the basic one small luggage option
Let us see some tundraaaa
i need to buy something from the store
Bryn, do you know if they boys stays around for today ?
Definitely
Probably
But don't think there'll be any official signings sessions
so you gotta just hunt for them most likely
it's purely up to them what they do now
Haha the hunt begins so
Now we have a reason to come
will depend on the player
LET'S GOO
E.g. I remember Ammar / bzm in that old roster never wanted to go xd
But who knows
Way to dangerous for Ari
Bryn I can't believe you're making the bois stay in Birmingham
He won't be able to move)
why punish them for top 4
Seal if you catch someone you tell me
π
Gotcha
I have only small luggage too, but I don't have 2 bags...
Hope my fellow country man stays around to chat a little and take photo
my mum told me to put all my jerseys on + hoodie tomorrow for the flight and i will have more space
maybe thatβs the trick
That will actually work yes
You're gonna boil on that flight
Ptt clothes that are the biggest one on yourself, and you should have enough place left
He can take it off in the plain
Oh those Saving tips
Anything for dota
let me have my illogical thinking 
Would i able to get in one of these bags to the arena?
Looks small to me, I think yes
But not 100% sure cause I wasn't taking my bag with me
I think the bag have to be A4 size maximum
Yeah I have old manned out lol
The last mini vlog of Bham.
Hope you enjoyed them
π¬π§ Birmingham last day - mini vlog
#RoadToRiyadh
theyve been fantastic
Crowd moments
Loved them
I see somebody here with an arsenal martin odegaard jersey LOL
What for
seats

Looks too big to me
I will go to eat when the first match begin so there no 3h queue at the World resort and i come back to chill and look out for our players if they are around
I might head over so I can get my wristband without stress
Then chill before arsenal/grand finals
I'll bring the ceb for you
hopefully I can bring it in
Bring me ceb too
Good that everyone is experiencing some proper English weather today π
Thx
I like it much more than I thought
@topaz talon can you save a spot for me if possible
I think Ethan the dude sat next to me yesterday is around too but not in discord
got two for free
I go eat and come back to look out for our players
if everyone has plus i can sit with you thatβs okay
are you in the arena already?
Yup, in section 13 as usual
ok i am gonna come!
Section 13 is mega packed
wait i canβt bc itβs sold out
Like sardines hungry for dota
premium only floor or lower sections
We cheering for Tundra btw people
I have 2 places left
@tough dagger is it still breakfast time? Is it ok that I got some nandos now?
Sure thing!!
Its 12 so its lunch time now
Go ahead sir
Business
Pro tip. Tell them you bought something reduced - 2023 model being sold off cheep
My mom thought I was far more responsible/smart at your age than I was with that one
"I wouldn't have brought them at full price, that's insane, but they were 35% off from being 2023"

All the stuff here is still way to expensive for Ukraine so it's so hard to explain smth like that
But
I still manage to do that
For mom? No
For dad, yup
It's because I left my banner at home??
gg
I am missing nothing, yay!
HAHAHSAH
That's true
Well I actually made new one
And it's their responsibility. It's just the same as the rest of this discord holding no responsibility for @vague wadi -- you are not responsible for a lack of sign, we are not responsible for Willie's horrible opinions.
You missed some high quality hype dota smh
π
Hiding now in premium seating while digesting the nandos
Pffft. Maybe they will once they see it 3 more times
Naga didn't get boo'd the first time π
It is tapsen sniper so it's different
Vange arcana
What is shocking about Amarr playing his most played/banned hero?
I think for them
Damn it I need Timado π€« sticker!!!
Or I'll make a gif myself
Gonna have to buy the venge arcana to confuse my enemies into thinking I am skywrath
No OG, No Volume
YES
Best Org!
apparently its sellout so if youre premium theyre not letting you into pleb area today
which is kinda sucky
wow
For us in premium then let's keep to the left in front of our friends in section 13 then
Whaa
this is according to one person i know whose group got split up because of it
it might not be being enforced all the way round if the staff havent all got the memo idk
Time to deploy the social engineering arsenal
Where is ceb π
Hiding
he's here
@queen plover so come get your mans
right side of the main lobby, by the made stand/cocktail bar
Ty!
Let's go. Tundra chants incoming
Gin and footy, this is a good bar
Making our way down to the arena now
Brum has a lot of good bars. We just get drunk to cope with living here
π¬
Where are you?
Ah, i presumed you meant central brum
I wish, travelled in and just having the chill day
Good to know even out there, we have good water holes
I got my gin lemonade for Β£7, im living
We also joined Cal because Jake wanted to watch the footy
Fair enough! I'm on board with watching the footy today. It's a big game.
Are Cal and Jake both wanting an Arsenal win?
Hahaha yep luckily π
Fairs. I do today too, I'd quite like to see a different team win the league.
I'm not an Arsenal fan though. It's that Jake's team?
Yeah it is haha
we're both arsenal and we're loving it
People have not heard a Falcon thats for sure π
BB vs falcons finals
Hmm
Let's go bb
Go home pure)
I really hope malrine gets absolutely shit on
In GPK I trust 
Time to journey to the arena. See you soon gamers
I've needed a player to genuinely hate for being too cocky without backing it up
Malrine ticks all the boxes


huh..
