[old hare]

[rustic harness]

How busy is the arena right now? Trying to figure out a good time to try and find a seat before the grand final

[twin terrace]

Left side premium have plenty of place

[rustic harness]

Hahaha we are but poor lowly people with standard tickets

[twin terrace]

Oh sorry i dont know then

[old hare]

Standard is very rammed

[rustic harness]

Thanks anyway

[old hare]

Climb to the back and there's still some seats

[rustic harness]

Excellent we will have a look there

We’re not too bothered about the GF, so will just attend for the vibes for a bit

[young dune]

Block 13 will have been taken over by randoms

Oh no I'm being watched

[humble viper]

[old hare]

[rustic harness]

The corner areas are super quiet but the view is pretty fine, esp. as we’re only here for the atmosphere now

[humble viper]

Look over your right shoulder

[old hare]

Wanker

[humble viper]

Hahshaha

https://tenor.com/view/bing-gif-25601964

[rustic harness]

I can’t see you

[surreal copper]

We're in the plus spot below where we were before

[old hare]

Got you

[rustic harness]

Hahahaha

[humble viper]

Cringe

[old hare]

God I love harassing random people irl

[humble viper]

Where is the British welcome of th3 middle finger

[old hare]

SMH will

[old hare]

Not sure it would have carried over that distance

MY MEME

[humble viper]

I stole it

Yoinkers

[old hare]

Our meme now

[humble viper]

[old hare]

DEEZ NUTS

[young dune]

[humble viper]

Where magnoos

Chakra+ empower is spicy

[bitter condor]

Sheevers dress is so sparkly

[humble viper]

Blind debuff

Cos of the sparkles

[fossil dirge]

If you're at the very back I'm two rows in front of you

[humble viper]

Aye

Has everyone moved to that corner bit

[surreal copper]

It's filled up a bit, but there's still a bunch of room

[humble viper]

Will probs move.9ver there for g2

[fossil dirge]

Which corner bit

[surreal copper]

Section 13. As you go up the stairs, hard right and then follow it along to the corner

You'll cross into section 12 as you go over

[bitter condor]

Where it's empty

[frail scaffold]

I have 1 seat reserved if nobody took it

But there was one more

[fossil dirge]

I'm on the way

I couldn't find the spot me thinks

[bitter condor]

I'm here if this helps

Not really found anyone else either

[fossil dirge]

More right? I'm directly on the corner

[bitter condor]

Hmm

I'm in the middle of the angled bit I guess?

[tough dagger]

Any1 want a hotdog? Xd didnt know they were just one ticket haha

[fossil dirge]

Yeah I got one at the end of game 1

Pretty fire

[tough dagger]

[bitter condor]

[topaz talon]

HAHAHAHAAH

[bitter condor]

Ah I'm at the next bit over

[fossil dirge]

I'm honestly exhausted

[bitter condor]

Same DW about it

[young dune]

I realised I was tired that when I stopped :p

[tough dagger]

When the adrenaline takes a chill pill

[humble viper]

https://tenor.com/view/lol-asleep-applause-audience-sleep-gif-7487972

Us today

[bitter condor]

Yep!

[rustic harness]

Uh huh

[fossil dirge]

Pretty much

[fossil dirge]

how far up, like 4 rows?

[bitter condor]

I'm outside with kit now!

[fossil dirge]

Heading over then

whereabouts

[bitter condor]

Near intel by the food place

[frail scaffold]

I was trying to explain to one of the stuff that bb having more kills doesn't make them way stronger

I think he got it

[young dune]

There is no OG to keep the energy flowing 😄

It seems like the crowd has plenty of energy though

It's just us OG fans that used it all yesterday. We'd have found it again today if our boys were involved. 🙂

[twin terrace]

I still have some energy for my boy ammar

[frail scaffold]

Some guy at the bar told me how boring it is without OG

[fossil dirge]

It's true

[tough dagger]

Its me

[frail scaffold]

It is indeed boring af

But I like the crowd

[old hare]

Can't wait for another first pick KOTL mid

[humble viper]

without og

[young dune]

Have you started drinking, just cope with the boredom?

[rustic harness]

GUESS WHAT GANG

ARI GONNA BE A PANELLIST FOR THE NEXT GAME

Spotted

[young dune]

Good spot

We might get some life in this server now.

LETS GO OG

[twin terrace]

Ari ! Where is ceb 😇

[frail scaffold]

I was there for the tvvvv

[young dune]

Biggest noise of the day. For OG/Ari - and not the teams on stage. 😄

[old hare]

ARI ON THE PANEL

[fossil dirge]

AS IT SHOULD BE

[old hare]

https://tenor.com/view/block-button-block-button-peter-peter-griffin-gif-20311660

[young dune]

Best moment of the day!

[young dune]

Absolutely!

[rustic harness]

So glad we stayed just for this

[young dune]

It's the first time of the day I feel like I'm missing out on the content

I've been missing you fine people all day long though!

[rustic harness]

You can probably hear him better on the stream though tbh

[tough dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/why-michael-scott-the-office-why-are-the-way-that-you-are-gif-5593972

[frail scaffold]

Why haven't I done it yesterday?!

[young dune]

Awww. Cute.

[frail scaffold]

It's not as good as if I made it yesterday

[young dune]

It's not as loud as the last Yippppeee you made too. That is an improvement.

[twin terrace]

I love this meme so much

[young dune]

Warning: Click at your own risk.

[frail scaffold]

It's not that onee😭😭😭

[young dune]

Oh. Okay.

[humble viper]

These caws are fucking annoying

[fossil dirge]

oh yeah

[frail scaffold]

Omg I thought I'm the only one

[humble viper]

I'm sat right next to one of the fuckers doing it

[bitter condor]

Very annoying

[twin terrace]

They are eveywhere lmao

[surreal copper]

Glad I'm not the only one... They sound bloody stupid

There's a really loud one behind us

[humble viper]

And again... can I toss him through the crowd

[surreal copper]

Jesus christ

Get the gun or something

[humble viper]

Duck hunt

[frail scaffold]

Ewww

Keep calm

Keep calm.

[tough dagger]

[normal trench]

"due to Falcon's fans being annoying af they have been disqualified and OG are to replace them in the finals"

[humble viper]

They're so mentally fucked

[surreal copper]

I dare say their morale is nonexistent

[humble viper]

Im g0nna punt fuck out these caw people

[surreal copper]

Another casual i9 giveaway

[tough dagger]

How much is an i9

[surreal copper]

[humble viper]

My pokemon go adventures are more enjoyable than this

[surreal copper]

Lmao

Not wrong

[empty adder]

Highlight was kobold cam

[frail scaffold]

I filmed that

Good moment

[surreal copper]

Think I managed to get a clip of the kobold dying mid drink

[empty adder]

I left during the match redeem my last drink ticket

Anyways anyone up for dinner / afterparty?

@mighty hearth any fun things you can get us in to as thanks for ruining our voices for OG?

[frail scaffold]

Sure why not, wanna do something before leaving

[rustic harness]

Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one

[normal trench]

Kobold MVP of the series

[empty adder]

I will try gathering folks outside the NEC entry then

[vocal wigeon]

Prison

[surreal copper]

Debating killing some time at resort world in the arcades if anyone is interested

[empty adder]

Hey you're not Bryn

[twin terrace]

Was a great event with you guys

[young dune]

Nice to meet you dude! I hope to see you again at something else.

[empty adder]

Outside the NEC entry in like 30 secs, please let me know if anyone is coming so I am not just waiting for nothing

[twin terrace]

Im heading to the hostel with my pal WE have plane early tomorrow morning

[empty adder]

Security theatre creating a line

[empty adder]

Just sleep on the plane

[young dune]

Maybe check with Kit and see what he's up to?
If anyone's going to try and lose his voice again... 😛

[tough dagger]

MY REDBULL

[peak ocean]

LOVE IT!

[humble viper]

Thank you for such a fun time though, even if I didn't get to meet everyone. Another time

[fossil dirge]

Couldn't have asked for a better first esports event

[bitter condor]

It was fantastic

[surreal copper]

Cheers for the weekend everyone. Shame about OG, but that was one hell of an experience for my first time at an eSports event

[bitter condor]

Also welcome to the server! Hope you stick around and chat during OG games (and others someone's normally watching whatever is on)

[empty adder]

Hey we got 2 games on main stage this time, better than last year

[frail scaffold]

Saame

[twin terrace]

Yeah me too, happy to lose my voice for OG

[young dune]

It was great to meet you, and sit near you dude! 🙂

[queen plover]

was great to see you all once again!

[young dune]

It was indeed! 😄

[queen plover]

until next time unless I see anyone anywhere tonight ^.^

[young dune]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you enjoy your time around here.

[bitter condor]

Great to see everyone I was able to see

[young dune]

I still find it funny when you arrived - and I sent you a message to see my own message arrive on some dude's phone in the corner of my vision!
"It's Sword!"

[bitter condor]

Made it easy to find you!

[lapis shore]

Thanks again everyone. Great vibes all round

[normal trench]

Had a great time, had a blast seeing OG in person for the first time, maybe it's time I start being more active in the server now since I haven't said much in this discord prior to this weekend

[peak ocean]

So happy for you all, it really warms my heart seeing you getting together and enjoying so much

Much love to everyone who was there and cheered for the guys live

[bitter condor]

Still annoyed OG.CEO didn't fly pupi out 😔

[twin terrace]

Still so sad that i missed my country man because of my cancelled fight 😭

[peak ocean]

It's okay, there'll be other events. I'll fly you to TI(? ahre

🥰

[bitter condor]

TI might be a bit much for me, unless TI in London when?

[green quest]

If anyone is around in bham tomorrow hmu because my plane leaves at 7pm tomorrow so have some time to check out the city

[peak ocean]

We'll message Gaben and see what we can do

[young dune]

Sounds like a great plan! The more the merrier.

You'll probably find yourself with more people to talk to at future events - as you'll enter events with more familiarity/friendship! 😄

[young dune]

I'm not around, as I no longer live there. But, I grew up there - so if you are short on idea's for the day, then feel free to ask for some direction.

[surreal copper]

Oh, for the treasury as well: I finally managed to log into my twitch from the hotel:
https://clips.twitch.tv/MagnificentSparklyMelonOSkomodo-MrhW1Q1eqry1YvF-

[surreal copper]

Cheers mate. I'll make sure to be around when OG are back in the spotlight 😁

[rustic harness]

I agree!

[young dune]

ESL Brum was on the BBC national 10pm news.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001ysst/bbc-weekend-news-late-news-28042024

Starting at 20mins in.

They actually had a 3 minute segment on it.

[lapis shore]

Shame it isn't every weekend tbh

Ooh will watch

[tough dagger]

There was a good section with jenkins on sky aswell

Were the interviewer did a great job

[young dune]

Oh, cool cool

It's fun to see it get some mainstream spotlight.

[bitter condor]

Always find it so fun how much they focus on the money involved

Not like number of attendees or something like that

[lean rain]

got a text from my dad because he saw this LMAO

[young dune]

I got one from my Mom "The gaming event you were at was on the news!"

So, I watched and then linked it here 🙂

I was... gaming instead of watching the news myself.

[lean rain]

nice nice

[young dune]

Did you enjoy your weekend of crunching e-numbers behind the scenes?

[young dune]

You need to CORRECT this "go team falcons" bullshit pronto and make him understand. :p

[bitter condor]

The newsreader introing it said ESK One as well I think

It's always gaming event too instead of esports

[young dune]

Which is exactly why my Mom described it as such too

She's getting on though, I'll give her a pass. :p

[green quest]

Cool! Do you have any pointers given my time limitation? Was thinking of circling around the center such as Victoria square etc

[young dune]

Yeah, a wander around the centre works well. If you enjoy shopping -- there are many options to kill some time.

https://www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/

Here are some museum options, the Thinktank Science museum is real good.

-- If that doesn't interest you, just poke me in the morning and I'll come up with something else. 🙂

[frail scaffold]

It's not?

[obtuse ore]

Was really nice meeting you guys over the weekend and thanks for making my first Dota event a great one, looking forward to seeing you lot at the next one. If anyone wants to run a few games of dota some time just hmu

[young dune]

It was awesome meeting you two, too! I already look forward to the next excuse to meet up.

I'm real pleased you both were so happy that you took the plunge to reach out to our community and then had such fun joining in with, and helping create an awesome weekend with us. 🙂

[mighty hearth]

LOVE U GUYS

thanks for making this weekend so special it meant so much to me and more importantly to the players 🫶

[gusty summit]

MY FUCKING KING BRYN

[queen plover]

[gusty summit]

[frail scaffold]

[lapis shore]

But villa is a much nicer stadium 😜

[young dune]

Ppppfffffttttttttt

It would be if it wasn't painted in such horrible colours. 😛

[mighty hearth]

Skill issue

[wild compass]

Bit late response lol

[frail scaffold]

Ooooh

[empty adder]

Congrats on having to pay for new motherboard and RAM

[wild compass]

[tough dagger]

Thats why you should sell it for 50% more

Just because of that

Smile

[wild compass]

AirPort day is always interesting cus you see all your favorite players and talents haha

[wild compass]

Part of me contemplated does would he mind if i asked but he is probably tired

[tough dagger]

I Wonder if theres an unwritten rule, like for me personally i dont want to bother people when they are travelling?

Just let them zone out

[wild compass]

I know if i was him i wouldn’t mind but it would still be like ‘hmm bit annoying’

Ya exactly

[frail scaffold]

Oh dude. Need a hand?

[frail scaffold]

Nuh

Just taking some photos

[young dune]

@tough dagger - have you made your coach? 🙂

[frail scaffold]

Best way to find the best photo is to get lost

[young dune]

Did you set off early with plenty of time to get lost?

[frail scaffold]

Yes

Getting lost since 9 am😎

[frail scaffold]

Fancy glasses

[tough dagger]

This coach driver is a legend

”This coach is old just like its driver, so its making creaking noises on the Highway and its not much i can do about it”

[frail scaffold]

Did he call him Ari's dad?

[young dune]

You'll find out of the driver starts making noises on the motorway later too

[fossil dirge]

I lost my kit :(

[tough dagger]

I lost my Cal 😦

[topaz talon]

like the whole trip just looks to be so exhausting

trip to luton than waiting 2h for a flight, trying to find a train to my city at 1am and then hopefully a night bus

[peak ocean]

Someone's about to fall asleep on every single means of transportation in existing

[twin terrace]

Alive in Paris. Now i have to wait my next flight to my home

[frail scaffold]

[wild compass]

Awh

Today is the day to see all players

[twin terrace]

I saw Crit and Aui this morning leaving Birmingham to Paris also

[queen plover]

I saw so many people at Stockholm at the airport. Almost makes me sad I’m not flying out. Always a fun where’s Waldo game

[vocal wigeon]

So you were in that zoo of a security line too, eh?

[topaz talon]

i can’t decide i need help, still one hour left in birmingham

fish and chips, pad thai, some chinese fried food or pho

[twin terrace]

What a mess

[tough dagger]

Made it through secrurity, had to throw a bunch of liquids tho. Didnt know you could only have one bag 💀

[tough dagger]

Sounds lovely

[vocal wigeon]

Total disaster

[twin terrace]

They throw my toothpaste away

[empty adder]

Took a trip to the aquarium while waiting for my train

[tough dagger]

Nice!

[old hare]

Love animal posting

[humble viper]

Time to go home 😭

[vocal wigeon]

They made me eat mine

I was so embarrassed, aui was laughing and I cried

[twin terrace]

What taste was it

[bitter condor]

gamers I am home

[vocal wigeon]

Hot dog, it was terrible

[twin terrace]

The famoust hot-dog toothpaste

New profile pic lets go. Featuring @tough dagger arm

[peak ocean]

PENGUINS!!!!!!!!!!

[calm berry]

Great event, same time and place next year right? 😁

[humble viper]

[tough dagger]

Sheesh look at that bicep

[humble viper]

Thank you habibi

[topaz talon]

pad thai 👍

[topaz talon]

the trip back home begins!

[peak ocean]

UH YUM

[young dune]

Have a safe journey home dude!

[surreal copper]

Made it back. The long drive is something I'll never get used to...
Hope everyone else is getting back safe n sound

[wild compass]

On plane now :)

[young dune]

Nice! That's arena right next to it is where ESL was held in 2018/2019 😛

[young dune]

How long of a drive?

[young dune]

Hopefully nothing too expensive?

[young dune]

Typical Fin.

Cities of millions must be terrifying.

[rustic harness]

Hope everyone gets home safe!

[young dune]

I hope/presume you two are back home safe n sound?

[frail scaffold]

I'm not getting lost for 3 hours 😎

That's a new record

[humble viper]

Time for train numero dos

[queen plover]

Almost home

[rustic harness]

Yep got back earlier, I’m now learning to play dota! The tutorial mode which slacks and sunsfan and all the other casters have voiced over is pretty funny

[rustic harness]

Woohoo!!

[young dune]

Em wants to play too. I've agreed to play aslong as I don't need to put up with random idiots 😛

[frail scaffold]

Tea shop yay

I finally came hete

*here

[rustic harness]

Woooo! I’m currently using Jake’s computer, think it’s time to start pricing up getting one myself now…

[young dune]

Wait, I thought you didn't have a PC? Have you stole Jake's? 😮

Oh, well - you answered that.

How did you know?!

[rustic harness]

Hahahaha 😂

The poor thing is sat helping me out with the patience of a saint

[young dune]

HI JAKE

He has so much patience, he's even waiting for you to have a conversation.

[frail scaffold]

[young dune]

Let's not test him too much - we'll chat when you don't have his PC held hostage. 😛

[rustic harness]

@obtuse ore speak now or forever hold your peace

[young dune]

He spoke last night and revealed himself! 😛

[obtuse ore]

The default keybinds are what are disturbing me the most honestly

[young dune]

They keybinds get rebound for me before I even play a game for the first time.

Every single game. 😛

[queen plover]

Use the slacks keybinds

The dollar sign for midas

[obtuse ore]

Most appropriate keybind

[young dune]

We all get into our habbits. Jump is back - and spirit in forward (both on the mouse) - on every game.

@obtuse ore - I presume jh are you initials - what is xcix?

[tough dagger]

I want to be home rn

[young dune]

Roman Numerals, or?

[young dune]

Awwww. The hype man looks drained!

Life does feel a bit boring today, eh? 😦

[obtuse ore]

Yeah 99 Roman numerals

[tough dagger]

Yeah just some other stuff that hit me in the gut so anxiety is going ham rn

[frail scaffold]

Now I'm ready to leave UK

[young dune]

As always - you're welcome to throw me a DM if you want a chat dude.

[young dune]

Is that to bribe your Mom with when she asks how much things cost?

[frail scaffold]

Nuh, my dad told me to get one

When I was really small dad used to visit uk for work sometimes

And he was always getting exact samr box

[young dune]

Even your name reminds me, I'm old 😛

[frail scaffold]

We have same one's in Poland, but they're 100g ones

[young dune]

And the same price? 😛

[frail scaffold]

Almost the same😧

He said he was getting one for 18 euro back then

Now it's 19 pounds

[queen plover]

Just got home

Ty again all for the weekend! Love the og community

[frail scaffold]

[young dune]

You can get it on amazon.co.uk - they will post to poland. :p

[frail scaffold]

Tysm everyone yes!!

[humble viper]

Time to relearn dota again wahoo

More than 0 mmr inc

[frail scaffold]

Nuuh, it's different

[young dune]

It was fun meeting you, homie.

And, I'm glad you got home safely.

[young dune]

I just found the same stuff. 😛

I know my tea, damnit!

[frail scaffold]

It's about bringing the tea by yourself from UK

Not about the amount of it🙄

[young dune]

@rustic harness - so which hero are you playing as?

[tough dagger]

Bristleback

[obtuse ore]

She’s gravitated towards pa for now

[young dune]

Oh wow, she's learning core's first!

Fairs

[obtuse ore]

Played venge first game and wasn’t a fan of support

As a pos 4 main I’m disappointed but wcyd

[humble viper]

That just means you can support her whilst she goes rapira min 15

[young dune]

Be happy she's getting involved in your hobbies? 😛

[rustic harness]

More like I tried venge but the tutorial hadn’t really covered support at all yet 😂

[obtuse ore]

Rapier rush first item is ez win surely

[frail scaffold]

You'll get a new passive upgrade of your skills with this pin

[humble viper]

[fossil dirge]

I've been sat in this area for 4 hours

Help

[young dune]

In which area?

Are you as lost as Seal?

[fossil dirge]

Nah not lost

Just been about new street/bullring since I left kit

[vague wadi]

Good choice

[young dune]

Ah, you have the post-Kit blues? 😦

[vague wadi]

[young dune]

[rustic harness]

@young dune @rustic harness noob stack incoming?

[young dune]

I'm down. I'll get in loads of trouble if I play the game for the first time without Em though. 😛

[lapis shore]

Oh I meant with her too!

[tough dagger]

Then ur 5

[lapis shore]

I have played about a day's worth so I am super inexperienced but don't want to play solo queue and get flamed looool

[rustic harness]

Hehehe im up for playing together with Jake coaching 🫡😂

[young dune]

[lapis shore]

What pos would everyone want to be?

[young dune]

Let 3 of us try it for the first time, first 😛

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'll be flexible and play whatever though. 😛

[lapis shore]

haha I am basically brand new I need to remember how to do the basics

[rustic harness]

Hehehe getting too excited

[lapis shore]

My friend code is 16825749 if you want to add me (no kits allowed)

[bitter condor]

poor kit

[topaz talon]

are we making a stack and qualifying to the next major?

[rustic harness]

Sent

[rustic harness]

Fuck yeah

[bitter condor]

if you do it in NA you have an outside shot even with the ping

[young dune]

"Super Old(G's)" - with me and Xeno :p

[obtuse ore]

Bringing back Old G?

[young dune]

Bonkers did give me a player card. So, I guess I can be great-granddad

[rustic harness]

Wow

[young dune]

That's the spirit!

And I'm loving to dig at NA.

[queen plover]

Ceb is home!

[bitter condor]

you got quite the haul of signatures

oh tahts stockholm

[queen plover]

Yeppp

Just making a little dota display area including Stockholm stuff

[young dune]

Beth did disappear quite often still. Everytime she did I presumed it was a signing session 😛

[bitter condor]

my lego wall-e is holding the OG flag

[queen plover]

Nah only signing sessions I did was og and heroic!

But I did leave to hang out with people a lot

[young dune]

Cool cool 🙂

[normal trench]

Hanging out with people was real fun but man it feels good to be home

[bitter condor]

MY OWN BED

[old hare]

I am so exhausted

[young dune]

Then you did it right.

[young dune]

I'm not a big fan of losing my own pillow more than anything. 😄

It's at least more portable.

[rustic harness]

This is employee approved

[rustic harness]

Please tell me this is the old larger Wall-e set too? If so - extremely cool

[bitter condor]

yeah the proper one not the brickheadz one

[rustic harness]

I know a lot of people who would kill for that set, including me ngl

👀

[bitter condor]

I've had it a long while!

[queen plover]

There we go lil dota area ^.^

[lapis shore]

Lock your doors sword

[young dune]

Sword, Stop giving her information dude.

[bitter condor]

[rustic harness]

😂😂😂

[queen plover]

That Lego wal e is so cool

Wasn’t into collecting Lego when it came out sadly

[rustic harness]

My desk has a LOT more sets on it now, but you can see my wall-e brickheadz at least

I’ll have to get an up to date picture

[young dune]

[queen plover]

V cool

[lapis shore]

What happened to mk I and mk ii

Were they "retired"?

[vague wadi]

[young dune]

It reminded me of playing EVE. Every time a specific ship died, the replacement would gain a number

I doubt she's died and been purchased again though.

[lapis shore]

I don't think we should rule it out at this stage

[young dune]

[obtuse ore]

She’s playing a high stakes game against bots rn

[young dune]

Hey, that's how I'm planning on starting

[obtuse ore]

She went for the audacious tier 3 dive and escaped on 60 hp

[young dune]

!!!!!!!!

How are you enjoying this? Happy she's playing dota, but missing your pc?

(that's my guess as it's how I would be in the same scenario)

[obtuse ore]

Nah it’s nice to see her getting into it and playing so I’m more than happy to watch

[empty adder]

I played like 100 hours of bot games before I dared to take on real people

[obtuse ore]

I wish I did that when I started playing instead of jumping straight into all pick with my revolutionary right click death prophet build

Which surprisingly didn’t go well

[young dune]

You're a keeper, too!

[rustic harness]

Hahaha this was a joke from when I first started because there were 3 Nicola’s and they sat us all on the same row and I’ve just never got rid of the sign

[young dune]

But, you got rid of the other Nicola's, right?!

[rustic harness]

Funnily enough, one is gone now so there’s only two left 🤣

[bitter condor]

i still mostly just play bot games i think 800/1400 are bot games, most the rest are 5 stacks

[obtuse ore]

139416846 my friend code btw if anyone wants to add me on steam

[fossil dirge]

I've ran into my first obstacle

My train is delayed

[bitter condor]

[young dune]

How much of a delay?

[fossil dirge]

whats the deal with train ticket validity for buses

[young dune]

Is the train direct, or do you need to make connections?

[fossil dirge]

It's 8 minutes

Going to the airport

[young dune]

It isn't valid

Not unless the train company themselves put in place a replacement service

[fossil dirge]

Right

[fossil dirge]

Just says delayed, no ETA

this is definitely getting cancelled

[young dune]

I'll look online for you if you want a hand?

[fossil dirge]

If you could

I'm focused on keeping my head in check

[young dune]

No worries

[bitter condor]

(prob dm so no doxx, remember eveyrone can read this channel in the server )

[young dune]

Good idea

[fossil dirge]

Disruption between Rugby and Milton Keynes

Aight great

Till 8pm

[humble viper]

i need to get a tkl or 75% keyboard 💀

[vague wadi]

I'm curious how she got rid of the other nicolas but i don't think i should now

[young dune]

"Assassinate"

But yeah, between disappearing colleagues and being willing to kill to take other people's Lego...

[lapis shore]

A new found respect tbh

[young dune]

Fearful resepct? 😄

[empty adder]

My luggage is so full with ESL merch that there is no space left for tax free alcohol

[peak ocean]

Whenever I read "my luggage" and it's someone coming back home from an event, my immediate reaction is OH NO
Glad this wasn't as bad as I thought 😛

[vague wadi]

So she's born to play sniper?

[young dune]

No, I was just making your obvious joke for you :p

[rustic harness]

[frail scaffold]

I wanted to say that I'm not lost anymore, but I came out on a wrong station again

[young dune]

Oh dear.

[frail scaffold]

Hahahsshs

It's ok 10 mins I'll get on the next one

[lapis shore]

you are good at this

[frail scaffold]

At least I have fun stories to tell

[frail scaffold]

Unstoppable

[young dune]

Haha! Seals normally like the water, but I'd keep it dry and out of that river.

[rustic harness]

Definitely keep it out of that river

[young dune]

Great minds!

How long do you have left in the UK, dude? @frail scaffold

[frail scaffold]

I have plane at 21:45

[tough dagger]

You dont need to put it in your bags…?

Thats legit why you buy it there cus its not connected at all to the amount of luggage you have

[frail scaffold]

Only if you have enough space in your hands

[tough dagger]

GET A BAG IN THE ATORE??

[humble viper]

common sense

[tough dagger]

Brooo @empty adder are you trolling

[lapis shore]

New law, only allowed as much duty free as you can carry in your mouth

[young dune]

And stomach?

[young dune]

Ah okay. Flying back from London I presume?

With how much you get lost - I hope you're already at your gate.

[frail scaffold]

Yup

[frail scaffold]

Be there in 15 mins

[young dune]

There is still time for one final story...

[frail scaffold]

HAHAHA

Definitely no.

Maybe next time

[bitter condor]

take care

[young dune]

"So, I ended up in Cairo"

[lapis shore]

https://tenor.com/view/cairo-rowley-birkin-qc-screech-gif-15051220

[wild compass]

Just looked at the specs for using that cpu btw… im literally gonna need an ENTIRE pc rebuild

With watercooling maybe

Just so this bich dont die

Its actually a BEAST

[bitter condor]

this is why i dont super get flashy cpu giveaways, its obviously awesome, but the options are sell it or spend a lot more money to make the most of it

however when you get it working

OH BOY IT GONNA BE FAST

[wild compass]

Me and my boyfriend having a debate cos he pointed out it would be better for him cos he plays star citizen, and now i WANT him to have it and hes like ‘no no no, u won it’

BICH ur gonna use it more than mr lol

[bitter condor]

its probably powerful enough to run both your pc's off it in like some weird virtual machine thing and still be quicker than your current cpus combined (probably not in reality but funny idea)

[wild compass]

Its got like 24 cores or some shit

Its crazy

And built in graphics

Ifk

[young dune]

He takes you on holiday or something & he gets the CPU.

Just make a trade. :p

[wild compass]

👀👀

Thats actually genius

[old hare]

Imagine the dota 2 FPS on a i9

[bitter condor]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-dragon-ball-z-unlimited-power-over9000-power-level-gif-12316102

[tough dagger]

Safely Lande at my last destination

Now i will go cry in my fathers arms thats picking me up

[young dune]

Välkommen hem!

[tough dagger]

Omg 🥺

[empty adder]

Made it to my train station home and saw Boxi here

[frail scaffold]

I am alive, surprisingly not lost. And in Poland

[gusty summit]

I am home, with a broken body and a full and happy heart

I nearly didn't come to this event. But I remembered something from one of my all time favourite games

Elapsem semel occasionem non ipse potest Iuppiter reprehendere.

Not even Jupiter can find a lost opportunity.

I came to the event, and... Fuck I met so many incredible people at every level. I LOVE this game. And this server/community are a massive part of why.

Big shout outs to everyone I saw at Section 13 and out and about. I love you all.

[topaz talon]

ok i am home

everything good

[frail scaffold]

Getting old

[bitter condor]

doggoooooooooo

[frail scaffold]

He used to run around whenever door made any sound, but he's getting old so I decided to wake him up carefully

Haha

Left my bag and seal on a sofa and went to wash my hands, got back and saw that

Little thief

So proud of himself

[bitter condor]

not seal

[frail scaffold]

He was careful

[young dune]

Awww - cute doggy video's to start the day.

And good work getting yourself home!

[young dune]

Well said, good sir. Well said!

[young dune]

The "I saw xxx" stories were meant to end at the airport.

You stalked one of them all the way back home though?

[tough dagger]

Someone gave my location on OG post 😂

[rustic harness]

Question, do you think Bryn be the best person to ask about sending the lads some Sunflower LEGO sets (unofficially)?

I have a load in the office and wish I’d thought about it before coming…

[tough dagger]

You can ping bryn and pupi directly!
@mighty hearth Free legos for the lads 👀

Send something to Bryn while ur at it 😏

[tough dagger]

Prob his reaction to this

[old hare]

https://tenor.com/view/nose-fur-kawaii-sniff-canine-gif-20552016

Josh when he hears free lego

[tough dagger]

Very real

[old hare]

Bryn is very open to bribes

[mighty hearth]

sending directly to the players is probably a no-no but we could help you send some to the lisbon house or to our copenhagen office and then we'll distribute from there // or keep at bootcamp

[rustic harness]

I assumed as such due to privacy reasons 😂 great that there could be a couple of locations we could maybe send - let me count how many I have tomorrow when I’m in the office and I’ll dm you 🫡

[tough dagger]

Its funny, cus i think me and Bryn looked at that exact set when we were in the Lego store xd

Or well

A sunflower set

[rustic harness]

Hehehe, I’ll get them sorted with something

[frail scaffold]

Phoenix from now will be reminding me about Birmingham

He's so smaaaall, i love it

[queen plover]

that rosh is super cool too!

[frail scaffold]

Thx haha

[frail scaffold]

I finally covered my pin with some varnish, so now I can be confident in signs safety

[young dune]

This person knew what seats we were sitting in better tha I did.

I had no idea what seat number I was in. Block 13, front few rows was all I knew.

[normal trench]

was just watching cap's latest podcast episode with svg and they had the clip of kit after OG won against IG near the start of the episode

[young dune]

Do you have a link/timestamp? 🙂

[normal trench]

i'll find it

[young dune]

[normal trench]

https://youtu.be/ZIbL1oVmxdo?si=1SwfX3-VQlHXEfAT

literally 50 seconds into the video

[young dune]

Yeah it's the exact clip I knew it would be. With me and nicola either side of him. 😛

At least 2 of the people in this clip are British when SVG says "The brits exceeded my expectations" - Kit however is an Aussie... so I hear

[bitter condor]

[normal trench]

Enjoyed the video, actually kinda agreed with what they were saying about the all chatting

[young dune]

To me it was childish and made me remember why I don't enjoying playing moba's with randoms on the same team as me. 😛

It not happening in game 3 made me think they had a word said to them back stage by their own team or an admin.

[tough dagger]

💀💀💀

[normal trench]

Toronto definitely overstepped with his comment but at the same time Falcons I feel were doing it way too much for it to be fun

[topaz talon]

WOW

nice

kit 🐐

[lean rain]

this was exactly what happened

[vague wadi]

Idk, i love teams doing this tbh

Just not all the time

[young dune]

Good!

[bitter condor]

bonki in the vlog was very correct on his opinion on the og falcons all chat

[lapis shore]

was the same in falcons v OG too, lots of all chat in game 1 and 2 and none in game 3

[lapis shore]

100%

[young dune]

Did you get to witness it? Did it feel like when someone is getting told off in class and you are trying to not make eye contact with them or the teacher?

[rustic harness]

🥲🥲

[twin terrace]

Good to see our cheering is well noticed

[sturdy terrace]

@mighty hearth did you just play against a stack with a TA and a RIki

wrong chat but yeah

[mighty hearth]

yes hahaha

was that you ?

[sturdy terrace]

hahahaha it was my friends

the riki was incredibly tilted

[mighty hearth]

HAHAHAH

we targetted him

[sturdy terrace]

LMAOOOOO he just wants his crownfall token

[mighty hearth]

I hope he got the one he wanted from the random at least

[sturdy terrace]

he wait "wait wtf I need intelligence"

all that Riki for nothing

[mighty hearth]

well then im glad we made it quick for him so he can go next

[young dune]

Mr Esports being too good to handle?

[peak ocean]

Damn boss being a bully

[old hare]

A couple of days ago we played against a five-stack and they were like "are you the OG.bryn" and then we dumpstered them in 25 mins

No favours given out here

[tough dagger]

I think someone mentioned it earlier aswell

[old hare]

Bryn's earthshaker is an absolute menace in divine unranked pubs

Man should do PR for dunkin donuts or the nfl

[lean rain]

can confirm

every time i see the brynshaker i know its easy wins

[old hare]

Same with Benji squirrel

No fluffy tails left untouched

[peak ocean]

I want a bromance like yours 💘
Your Brum content made me extremely happy

[old hare]

Can't wait to do it again next year 🥰

looks pointedly at ESL

Depends but next year we might get an Airbnb in town so full content house incoming

[young dune]

We can rent out an entire manor house for all of section 13?

[old hare]

We can put up flags and banners on the wall lmao

[young dune]

Sounds sweet!

Lay out a red OG carpet down the entrance hall.

Have all those armour sets holding big banner flags for OG

[old hare]

big fridge of red bull

[young dune]

Just need one of those old billiards halls in it

[sturdy terrace]

next year we bring a drum for the true British spectator sports experience

[old hare]

And vuvuzela

[sturdy terrace]

we paint the town red(bull)

[lapis shore]

You can call me biased if you like (because I am) but there should totally be an annual UK major

[tough dagger]

Annual Stockholm Ti is my take

[lapis shore]

I'll allow it

[young dune]

I noticed you said UK... Not Birmingham.

Well played.

[lapis shore]

Yeah I am with Ari on his views of Brum lol

[tough dagger]

Ari was so blunt in the qna

[young dune]

We can go to that new arena in Manchester, which isn't fully built.

That sounds like a true brexit vision of the UK to export to the world

[tough dagger]

Loved it

Especially that specific part

[young dune]

I'm the person who asked him that question... And I expected that answer :p

[bitter condor]

spill the tea i couldnt listen

[lapis shore]

Haha well you got what you asked for

Bro comes from somewhere actually nice after all

[young dune]

For the record, I'd have been much less diplomatic in my answer :p

[lean rain]

where is Ari from?

[bitter condor]

exeter

[young dune]

Exeter

[bitter condor]

benj not watching the video smh

[lean rain]

ooh I shoulda asked him about it

I'm moving there soon LMAO

[lean rain]

https://tenor.com/view/waltergotme-gif-18867690

[young dune]

So from a nice part of the UK, with not enough population to have nice things like dota events

It's almost like the nice parts of the UK are where there are less Brits...

[bitter condor]

[lapis shore]

I thought you were going all Brexit till that last word

[tough dagger]

I asked him ablut what his opinion on sniper and yasou (no skill braindead hero just like sniper in league) and the answer was chefs kiss

[lapis shore]

I was preparing my 😬 reaction

[young dune]

It was going to either be 'brits' or 'people'

[vague wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/betrayal-betrayed-enemies-sad-dramatic-gif-12298341442394209373

[rustic harness]

It’s pretty much sorted now!

[frail scaffold]

I'll take that as an invitation

[sturdy terrace]

GLASGOW MAJOR

they could just cut to a random street and people would be doing the downing pints thing unprompted

[young dune]

Ari said "not an industrial city"

When I asked if he is was pleased to have Birmingham, and he gave a very correct, and diplomatic version of "fuck yes"

[bitter condor]

exeter major then

[queen plover]

manchester major would be nice travel wise

[rustic harness]

Would save me money because I could just go and stay at home 😂

[old hare]

Yasss Manchester is a much better city to spend time in than Birmingham as well

[tough dagger]

Chester*

loved my short day there

[rustic harness]

Chester is lovely, but I don’t they’d have a big enough venue or the best transport links

[old hare]

Oooh my friend lives in Chester so yeah that would work

Free room and board everyone

[tough dagger]

oh 100%

but im sooo happy i went there the day before

such an amazing city

[rustic harness]

It’s really lovely! Also my favourite zoo ever is Chester Zoo, so many happy memories! I’m going in July actually

[young dune]

It's far nicer than Birmingham or Manchester.

The non-Brit is suggesting winners!

In the UK, you want to avoid the larger cities for a nicer place as a general rule. :p

[young dune]

Spoil sport!

[rustic harness]

😂😂

[old hare]

Chester zoo is so nice

Big fan some of my friends work there

Get them zoology degrees so u can work in the zoo

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

I sure am

[cerulean sedge]
