Woot! ReDeYe you legend. Very nice blog, I've been often wondering why I am not seeing your name more often - I just assumed you were knee deep in the CS scene doing work in tournaments just outside of the radar for Euro twitch FPS gaming.
Wonder if you remember playing alongside me in the nations cup for UT2k4 iTDM? :D Or casting some of the UT insta Eurocups... fond memories! It's been awesome seeing you progress since then.
It's awesome that you are involved with the beast that is SC2 now! Though try some Shootmania - it's growing and a good few UT'rs are dominant in that game that you'll recognise a few names, enjoy to play and hopefully cast it too :D
WAIT U were at i46? Damnit!! We had no idea, we'd come throw a battlesub at you or a beer. ^^
Good ol times with UTV and wimanp streaming which was fucking annoying compared to nowadays software :D Often listened to EC/NC Cup finals on Clanbase and started casting myself. FUnortunately UT is dying pretty much right now (only a hard core is still playing) and I dont have that much time atm.
Nice post thanks for doing this, even though I had heard your name before you popped up in the star 2 scene I didn't know the full story Love your casting/hosting no matter what game it is and I truly wish that you will one day be in the position to be full time in esports while taking care of your family isn't a problem (like wheat can nowadays), can't wait to see you host at wcs eu finals!
Nice one, Redeye. Saw you hosting at WCS UK Finals. Thought you did a great job. I did not know who you were, but now I do. Hopefully you can continue to pull in some cool hosting gigs.
Nice! Been following you since iTG and the UT casting but I still learned a few new things You and djWEHAT were a pretty godly team when you casted together, and your Quake 4 casting was really awesome! Unfortunately I'm not that into SC2 anymore but I'll be sure to watch a bit of the upcoming tourney, good luck
Been enjoying ReDeYe's commentary for 5+ years now. Had the pleasure of watching him cast first hand and hang out with him back in the golden days of competitive CoD4:MW. A true pioneer and legend in his field.
In short; you know it's going to be a good tournament when Paul Chaloner is behind the mic.
Thanks for taking the time to write this.
ps: still get sick nerd chills when I watch this small clip -
ReDeYe is legend! Admittedly, I came to know you much later then many others, but you are without a doubt the BEST Counter-Strike caster I have had the pleasure of listening too. While the SC2 wave is high right now, I truly truly hope to again hear you behind the mic casting Counter-Strikes rebirth in CSGO.
Been a fan of your shoutcasting from cod2(what a game), through css and cod4 and now happy to see you have moved to sc2, hopefully tosspot eventually moves over too, goodluck at wcs!
Admittedly I don't know any of your old stuff, but I know well enough that guys like you, members of the old guard, the guys who came before this new wave of eSports are what inspired everything we see today. You are a fucking living piece of eSports history, and that is fucking badass.
You did a great job while hosting WCS, and I'm sure that Stockolm will be amazing! It would be funny to see you do some casting, so that we can learn to know you better.
