Hello TL!
Well as you guys may of notice, StarTale Bomber and July have started streaming, with a big of help from me and others like R1CH from TL who aided us with the audio settings and the own3d staff.
I will be in the StarTale house from the 5-15th working on my own website, UpCloseGamers.com, StarTale work and more! While I am doing all this great stuff I will be doing a daily blog/recap of what I have been up to at StarTale, aiming to give you a good insight to what is going on.
On top of this we will be doing a tour of the house (which has expanded since you may of last seen on the Artosis tour), streaming some 2v2s with the pros and as an even bigger bonus more StarTale players streaming!!!
I will get a message from each player saying something to their fans like we did for Bomber on his stream, Julys will come tomorrow.
For now please check out the blog from Day 1 which contains all our videos from the first day and how its all gone so far. I will keep this topic up to date and post the new blog on it.
Thanks for your support guy
Also - Anything you guys want to see? Leave a message below and I can try get it done!!

Make the whole team sing a song.
Gather all of them together and they sing a western song.
|
You are awesome. Thank you for all your hard work!
|
Very awesome, love all your content and this sounds equally (if not more) awesome.
I'm really curious about how they actually practice. A detailed break down of it would be amazing. How many games do they play against the same opponent? How many times do they do the same build in a row? How many hours of the day are actually spent in practice? I find all of that stuff fascinating, and really hope you guys cover it.
|
Want to watch Fruitdealer stream with a micrphone (A MUST!). I can listen to his voice all day long.
|
Thanks for the streams, they are really awesome!
All the new Korean streams are going to hurt so many peoples' play, they won't actually play haha.

Thanks for the support  If you love it, share it! The more support I get, the more content we can generate, awesome cycle!
Very nice request, will talk with Bomber and Squirtle and see if we can work something out and I can voice over it in more detail due to the limited use of English.
|
Wow this looks awesome!
The only extra footage I really want to see is possibly them doing none-video game related activities: getting some food, hanging out, whatever.
|
you should do some kind of document film with the team, like their day routine etc.

Would love to do this and plan to but at the moment it is holiday so the players are not so much in routine, I will get the footage of them doing non-gaming related things though
|
You definitely need to ask the StarTale coach why I can't buy one of those sick jackets.
Also, get his thoughts on the new logo, and ask if they're getting another one XD
|
Sounds fun. LIked the article and can't wait to see more =) Are there videos posted of your walk through the startale house that you said you did in the blog? Or are you gonna do another walk, would love to see the expanded house =)
|
greeat job
keep it up helping them set up streams!
|
A in-house Free For All would be really cool to see.
Maybe take some precautions from the game taking too long, like peer pressuring people into stupid attacks, or play on a really small map.
Also: really awesome to see Korean pros stream! No matter how many tourneys some foreigners win, the 400 APM stroboscopic multitasking from some Korean pros is on a level on it's own. Will enjoy every minute of their streams I can catch!
Thanks to you and everyone making this possible, and of course the players! <3
|
very nice. you really are doing great coverage over there.
|
Thanks

Updated with Day 2
Day 2 Recap
"Recap of the second day, More StarTale players streaming, Fruitdealers picture from Blizzard and champions"
|
My personal request is an inhouse tournament between the Startale sc2 team and the LoL team so 1 4v4 game of sc2 1 game of 5v5 LoL and then tie breaker is a game of counter strike or any other FPS. I only ask because you said it was the holidays so I am hoping they are allowed to goof off a little.
|
Try to get Fruitdealer to stream. He can use the practice.
|
I request a startale 4v4 team monobattle amongst all the eight players that were mentioned in this daily recap (7 streamers and fruitdealer)! of course the streamers should stream while playing it.
|
i'd love to see them do some massive FFA or something
|
Is FruitDealer still playing sc2 fulltime? (as in praccing fulltime hours). Cause last thing I know is that he played it kinda for fun and played a lot of LoL aswell. Is it still like that? I really want him to come back strong ;K
He has played better recently though. He did good at IEM, so I have faith.
Edit: Oh! and I love your content, it's great to know more about the teams in general, especially the korean ones as we dont really have the same kind of relation to them as the foreign ones. And I actually went with the Celeritas over SS 7G cause I saw Zowie sponsored ST and Bomber used it (fav player), so give them lots of moneys Zowie it works =D.

I would like July to dress up as a watermelon panda and play foot-volleyball.
|
Wow, does Bomber actually move his camera with the arrow keys? That is so weird.
|
Love the ideas so far guys! I will see what I can do, I will ask Fruitdealer if he will stream

Nono, make them sing a kpop song. Preferably Girls Generation's Gee or something. Or you could make them dance to Hyuna's change and they have to do the pelvic thrusts. Dying to see July do that haha.

Really loving the content you guys are putting out . It's nice to get an inside look into what happens in the korean progaming houses... Sometimes they just seem like mysterious entities, hahaha. And thanks for helping Startale members setup their streams !
|
|
|
Thanks for this! Any word on more streamers, like Hack and Curious?
|
|
|
It's so awesome to see all the coverage you're bringing us! Keep up the fantastic work! ^^

StarTale is my favourite team, so I'm really loving these blogs and just all the content you guys are producing.
Thank you, and keep it up! =)

Hey there, jbanks. in the recent interview with naniwa, he was talking about the "new" house of startale.
I was wondering whether you could give us a house tour, because that startale even got a new house is absolutely new to me.
(ignore this if it is old news and everybody besides me already knew of it)
|
Hey, wanted to say thanks for the awesome content, really cool to have this sort of inside view into the korean scene. I think I remember you saying you were going to post a video of a full house tour, has that happened yet?
The FPvods of July playing are awesome, plus its really cool that I can watch july stream!!!
Thanks!
|
Those videos of them speaking english are so awesome! I love bomber even more now
