WHO: ROOT.CatZ (Z)
WHEN: Wednesday 1/5/2010 @ 6PM EST
WHERE: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/djWHEAT
CONTACT: @KingsOfTin & kingsoftin@djwheat.tv
'Kings of Tin' - Like many of you, I have a 2v2/Team Game partner who I've been playing with since the beginning of BETA. We're not terrible, we're not great... most importantly, we just like to have fun.
That philosophy lead to us calling ourselves the "KINGS OF TIN" as a joke because... sometimes we feel like we belong in the Tin league. We began to throw up a stream occasionally (labeling it the Kings of Tin), and to our amazement, people seemed to enjoy it. So then we thought, well what happens if we start bringing on prominent players to play with us?
ThisIsJimmy was our first "pro" guest, but we've had TL Staff, Chill, community members/casters, and even pulled people from the audience.
What resulted is Kings of Tin twice a week.
MONDAY KoT: This KoT session is "casual". We select SC2 community members who contribute in other ways, or we pull random people from the audience.
WEDNESDAY KoT: Our goal on Wednesday is to team up with a pro, and use him/her as our crutch to reach ultimate victory! It's also a great opportunity to see a pro-player in a more fun and less competitive environment. During downtime we interview, take questions from the chat, and also let people suggest strategies or things they'd like to see from our Pro.
Tonight is our 2nd official KoT(PRO) with ROOT.CatZ and if you've ever tuned into his stream, you already know how baller this guy is. I cannot wait to have him on for what's bound to be a really fun KoT.
Be sure to join us tonight for some epic 3v3 games with CatZ!
Feel free to leave suggestions for people/players you'd like to see on Kings of Tin (we've already got some big names lined up!)
NOTE: I've yet to make an official thread because we are still working out the details of the schedule from week to week!

I'm stoked for this! Need more fun 3v3s - and wheat/steven always provide entertaining matches also ... CatZ is a great pick indeed
|
Absolutely LOVE this show <3.
Makes me laugh every time when Marcus says something like "I'mma go fuck up his econ" or something like that  .
|
This really has to be me favorite esport show, I really enjoy watching this more than anything else .
And today with CatZ! I cant wait :D
|
so psyched for this. Kings of Tin almost rivals day9 daily in terms of entertainment value.
|
I don't like Sc2 , I don't like playing it or watching it ... but this ... this is something else.
Kings of tin is defnately the best sc2 event I have seen.
Keep it up
|

|

Good news is... we plan to run a Euro version of KoT at some point to get the EU realm involved!
|
Please drop banelings in 3 mineral lines at the same time
|
Always loved ya DjWheat. Used to stay up late to hear you cast quake 4 tournaments, glad your involved now in SC2.

CatZ is a really good choice for pro-partner. I glimpsed djWHEAT and incontrol conversing about coming on KoT over Twitter so hopefully we can expect that as well in the near future.
Plus I think Wheat's also going to be casting up a storm this weekend and maybe the return of some of the shows. this is how I like to start the new year; an unhealthy amount of wheat.
|
CatZ is awesome. That'll be fun. I might be able to tune in.
|
Nice I love watching Catz play!
Also offtopic, how did the foxer picture for your wife's Christmas present go? :D

It went awesome. I've been meaning to post a follow up blog with pictures so I'll do that in the next few days ^_^
|
Kings of Tin is so good, looking forward to seeing Catz do some crazy strats. I want to see Catz infest a probe and build up a protoss+zerg mixed army
|
This should be rather interesting! LOL Probe parasite. Can they actually build when they are parasited? I don't think they can? Just due to the range and time limitation + damage np does to the unit.
If they can then that would be awsome. I've just never seen it done before.

I prefer the wood league over the tin league personally.

You can with SCVs so I don't really see why you shouldn't be able to with probes

Yes it can be done. First time I did it I was so happy to have a bunch of zealots to throw away before my main Zerg army did its damage

OH! This is a good idea! When we start doing custom games in February this will be perfect :D
The reason we aren't doing custom games yet is because we're working on a way to be able to spec all players participating (currently we're locked to a single view). We've got some new equipment coming in that will help us pull it off, so I will pencil you in for a session in February ^_^

|
One of the funniest and most entertaining streams that I have watched in a while. The bit that really got me last night.
Steven: I blocked my ramp!
Wheat: Learning like a pro Steve!
Catz: Yeh, Terran is probably the only race you don't need to block your ramp with.
Oh man that had me in fits, keep it up and i'll be sure to tune in next week! :D
|
epic show, catz baller as usual <3
|
This show is great, love watching it. Thumbs up.

You kept me up far too late last night watching this, very entertaining =p
CatZ was a great guest as well!
|
You know what, if you do a European kings of tin, I'll pay you to get WhiteRa on skype
|
Dang, I didn't know Wacksteven was still around. Reminds me of the RadioITG days. I forget what the name of his show was, but I remember watching it (rather, listening to it) just as much as Epileptic Gaming v1. Nice to see him coming back around.
Shame I missed this, didn't see it yesterday
|
Currently looking at guests for next week... lots of options, but one thing looks to be certain... we'll be pulling Monday's guest from the audience/fanbase to play in the @KingsOfTin casuals!
|
Thanks so much for tuning in everyone, and for the wonderful response! ^_^

I would be interested in seeing more from root, QXC comes to mind. See if he can help you win more matches than Catz did!
Also with him it would be one from each race in the team, would be a nice setup.

is there a VOD of this anywhere??? it sounded amazing
