Hey guys, hope you enjoyed today, ben and me tryed to do our best, we certainly had a lot of fun, didnt have any time to read the pages today though but apparently there were quite a few people unhappy with me here cause of my accent or being unnice to mr bitter? :D You guys should realise ben and me love to mock eachother and we can definately take a few comments since its all in good fun, I know this is getting old since people always use that by talking themself out of a situation but I didnt even feel like I was unnice to ben :D, couple of jokes about his skill perhaps but he knows better, I actually got loads of respect for any caster who plays the game on a decent level ( artosis/bitter/apollo/painuser/day9? etc ) he would mock me just as much if he was beating me ;P

Regarding the accent, I doubt I would be more pleasant to listen to if I tryed to sound like some fake american, quite a few dutch actors tryed to make it in hollywood, failed, came back and tryed to sound really american and its fucking awfull, my entire country hates it, sure it can ofcourse be a bit more natural as well but I always believe in being yourself, well this is me this is how I sound and I honestly doubt I'm impossible to understand~ since the majority of the people understands me very well ;D besides that I've been travelling around the world for 6/7 years now and rarely/never had situations where people couldn't understand me ~ , personal flavor, I love accents and wish I could sound like tod. or scottish. :D

Anyways, as always thx for comments, negativ or positiv, will try to improve as both player & caster and obv will always try to give it my all in every cast/show, Cu guys tomorrow, let's hope for awesome semi's

God Rotti, you're such a fucking jerk. I can't believe I have to cast with a noob like you.

+ Show Spoiler +

That happens with every caster who isn't a native English speaker, for some reason people seem to dislike hearing their own regional accent

The only people who dislike your accent are dutch people. That happens with every caster who isn't a native English speaker, for some reason people seem to dislike hearing their own regional accent (I know I cringe whenever and Icelandic person is speaking English on TV).
