My goal is to make you (the listener) the best that your potential has to offer. I believe that every player secretly fears greatness, preferring unhappiness over uncertainty. I want to train, entertain and help you get the most out of your game weather it is just casual fun or becoming the next person up at the podium holding that gigantic check. I am Cecil, and I will be your guide, shoutcaster, commentator, trainer and entertainer. Welcome, and enjoy the channel that YOU get to control.
Current audio count: 36 ( find these in the video library and youtube.) Race: Zerg (solo) Random (2v2) Ladder: Masters top 16 YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/user/Neilmurp Facebook: Facebook.com/Cecil.ESports Shows at every Monday / Wednesday at 7:30 - 11:00pm EST as well as weekend events
Interesting. This takes me back to the last time I was actively visiting wcreplays - probably 5 years ago now. Nice to see you're still alive and kicking, and good luck with your SC2 endeavors. I'll definitely check it out.
You mentioned a youtube channel where we can view on demand. Do you have that link handy? A search for 'Cecil vtw starcraft' is coming up blank. Livestream a bit laggy for me in evenings..
I always like to listen to people talk about sc ^^ I never played wc3 myself, but it will be interesting to see how your commentary is different from someone who came from sc:bw o:
Sup DC! I miss the KoD.Cecil team! Axslav was in my division before the stat reset, glad to see some of the core wc3'ers are still in full swing. I'll be on occasionally tonight on account of Lost being on at 9 est. Tuesday nights are usually busy for me but I would like to do at least 3 hours of stuff each night for you all. I'm usually idle in the LS chat so you can always reach me there as well.
On a side note, it doesn't let me access TL.net's website since it falls in the "games" category =\
WoW its Cecil! I wondered what happened to you, you were high-ranked on the Azeroth ladder for a long time, liked your commentaries. Glad to see you're back at it with SC2.
its awesome that the new upcoming sc2 is reuniting the blizzard rts fanbase like this we're just in beta and already such a huge amount of buzz and tournaments and casting going down around tl.net
Love the stream, I think im the first to say that I dont know you, and had never seen your work before, so today i spent the day watching your VODs on livestream. I love it, you have a excellent commentating voice, and i have throughly enjoyed your stream. Thank you for the great content.
I'm also going to be working in hand with th3word (MLG) for some sponsored things in the future. Tonight I might not be on for very long but just check the stream for the red LIVE button to see if I am on or not.
All my WC3 memory seems to escape me by now, but the name Cecil still ring the bells :D. I think I listened to your commentaries in the past. Ty for doing this, will definately check this out
Sorry for the low airtime this week guys. I'm just finishing up painting my new house and I will have tomorrow to get some games in for you all. Until then I am always streaming content. See you guys at the NLL tourney this Saturday!
Great News! You are one of the reasons i started playing wc3 competitively. *sigh* Back in the old days of nightelvejihads and the Sneakyness of Goblin Zappers.
Really looking forward to your coverage! Good to have you back
Wow. You know, honestly I wasn't very aware of Cecil as a SC2 player. My ID is CecilFail.Liquid, and I was just mistaken as one of your "alts" today XD
holy shit Cecil the first time I was introduced to WC3 my friend was playing one of your audio commentaries in the background iirc it was the one you released when the Goblin Tinker came out and you had to change your boxers o_O
Hey Cecil, I got matched against you last night (the game where we mined out Metalopolis 100%), were you casting that live?! No fair that you seem to be AT (I was RTing, but luckily got a decent ally).
Thanks to the TL staff for helping me get my stream posted on the website. We had a great turnout last night and I look forward to bringing more to the table <3
Excellent matches on Friday! Thank you TB and Emp once again for casting our games. We look forward to next week's challenges. For now I plan on being on a few nights this week. Almost done getting the house ready for the big move-in. Tomorrow night I won't be on, though. I turn 25 then
I recently acquired ANOTHER beta key. I plan on doing something special with it With the advent of the new map editor, we could go many ways now. Would you guys like to see some custom games covered, or would you like for me to stick to competitive ladder games?
Going to be on tonight. Tonight's features will include Whiplash and I playing our rank 1 platinum games as well as an old schooler you might know from war3....
To those who have kindly made donations to the stream:
I currently purchased an additional 5gb of storage for you guys to access more VODS on the livestream page. These can be found on the bottom of the page below the stream.
I am looking into getting a better internet connection so that I can return to HD quality in my streams. One of the things you guys enjoyed the most on my streams was the quality of the game. It's a costly endevour but I will nevertheless consider doing this if this becomes a constant thing.
That is all for now. Just wanted to show those who were generous enough to donate that your donations make this stream better!
EDIT: If you are interested in making a donation, please PM me on this site. I don't want to stamp donation links everywhere so let's keep it to a personal level.
As the end of the first phase of beta is upon us, we have 2 weeks to stream other games! Please post here and vote on the games you would like to see. Here are my lists:
Modern Warfare 2 Team Fortress 2 League of legends Heroes of Newerth Warcraft III
Update for you guys. I changed the setting of the stream a little bit for the time being. I HATE LIVESTREAM. I'm going to be doing live audio commentaries and strategy sessions with everybody now on a schedule. Please let me know if it interferes with any major events (I don't know day9's schedule).
I really do enjoy your streams. The whole commentary really gives me a whole other way to look at each race. I enjoy your dramatic reactions over your units because it helps me learn to truly value my units rather than willing to sacrifice them.
One thing I think would benefit zerg players is if you just comment on your decisions when to pump drones or pump army units during the fight. I think this is where one defines a zerg player: how to decide between economy or military boost.
I'm learning the most on that part right now actually. I find myself sometimes pumping drones off of a fresh larva spawn RIGHT when I see them attacking me. Have to learn the right moderation
A lot of folks asking when the next stream will be. I'm usually always on Monday/Wednesday at 7pm EST. I'll also be on sometimes during SCII nights for you guys as well. I'll be streaming the LANKnights event live as well.
Tonight's stream didn't happen because of technical difficulties. My actual modem hardware is messed up so I need to replace the cable modem ASAP. I'll do this tomorrow so I can have a show ready for you all this Wednesday. I'll make up tonight's show this Friday at the LANKnights event.
ROFL @ the screencap. That fart was rather ripe and thick. We went for some drinks and when we came back people were packing up and we had to do the same unfortunately. They cut the internet in our absence.
I won't be on tonight, I'm doing fun social Labor Day stuff Wednesdays show however will be supremely badass and you don't want to miss it!
Oh man! I have an AWESOME replay for the next show's commentary. It's against a rank 1 1300 pt random player. That is all for now... just wait and see. Title of the replay is "Feels good man".
Not tonight. Monday I have three a m a z i n g games that I'd like to commentate on. Yes they involve terran. Yes they involve strategies that zerg HATES going up against. You don't want to miss Monday's show, I guarantee it O_o.
I think you don't ladder enough on your stream anymore. I understand you trying to get closer to your viewers and shit but I think your stream was much better when sometimes you would do a FFA and play mostly ladder. Lately its more like 2 ladder games then FFA followed by tons of custom games, mostly sc rally.
You sir got to be the funniest streamer alive. Stumbled upon your cast some days ago and just couldnt stop laughing. Highly recommended, the lulz are strong in this one.
Sorry for the bad internets tonight. Brighthouse failed me once more (strike 2), giving me 0.9mbps down and 0.8mbps up making streaming possible (somewhat) but actual gaming impossible. Consequently I lost 3 games because of it. Whiplash came over for no reason other than to sit while I talk to Brighthouse support for them to do the same thing they did 2 months ago when my upload rate was fubar.
Anyways. I'll be streaming from Next Level LAN for you all this FRIDAY for Starcraft II Nights! Unfortunately I don't think I can use the webcam but I'll give it a shot.
EDIT: OH HEY LOOK the internet is FINE now! Just in time for.... oh wait. Sleep.

Damn to hell the weekends being my time to do my ridiculous amounts of homework Maybe I can tune in after dinner...
Sucks you couldn't stream today. Should go to your providers place.. And yell in their faces "YOU DUN GOOFED!" Kick them in the balls and do a Dr. Zoidberg escape. Bad side? It wouldn't help. Good side! It'd look epic. And probs feel epic too! Atleast I made the best of the evening =O
And.. GRATS WITH THE WEDDING!... In advance!, you know what I mean.
Connection still shitty. They won't come out to "fix" it until FRIDAY... I'll try to stream tonight but it will be really informal especially if the connection is still garbage.
EDIT: Oh hey! Connection seems to be working just fine now... WHEN IM ABOUT TO SLEEP.
I'd still love to see a pic of all of the usual cast driving their cars and having the normal happenings occur (khan NEVER getting shrunk + speed boost, me always getting screwed)

Shawny, you totally missed it... the last SC rally of the night, I WAS ABOUT TO WIN, I WAS IN FIRST, CECIL WAS IN SECOND, I GOT A SPEEDBOOST AND ROCKETED ACROSS THE FINISH LINE...
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?
"Wrong Checkpoint"
SOMETHING BUGGED THE FUCK OUT AND IMMEDIATELY PUT ME IN 7TH PLACE, AND CECIL WON! That is Cecil's reaction, and my reaction to the race + his reaction.
Last night was naice. I really liked the Viewer 1v1's tbh. The idea was pretty brilliant and you seemed to enjoy the matches where stuff actually happened.
I've done some searching on that. And from what I can tell. That was only during Beta. I don't know if it's still possible. I couldn't find anything on it dating after release.
Some of the later comments and stuff says it works still. You could try it out, on your own risk ofc. Seen there was some people having trouble with language packs when they did it and only solution was to repair/reinstall.
Wanted to post in this thread a while ago and forgot about it
Just want to say that I appreciate your contribution to the RTS community once again! Followed your WCR audios religiously. When you read my shoutout on like audio #187 (could be wrong, but yea my handle then was like [G.KnightZ]K.nG and you had trouble reading that ^^), I was so happy that I told all my schoolmates about it (was like 15 then ><). Wouldn't have gotten out of the 50%ish win ratio I was having entire RoC/early TFT without your help.
Seems like I'm playing the same race as you again! Watched some of the VODs (can never make the time to watch live), and felt soo much nostalgia... glad to see you are doing well in ladder, will try and catch some of your live streams (if I'm not watching BW).
Huntress + Warden + Naga Sea Witch 4 life!!! Did that most team games all the way up to 1500 NE win icon~ thank youuuu
Mods: Would it be possible to change the title of this thread to "[Stream] Cecil TV" ?
I couldn't get the "Cecil" name for the forums so I picked a lame one, sucks to see that carrying over to a title =\
Anyways! Exciting night tonight guys, I'm going to try to transition the news for the stream over to the facebook group but for now I'll keep some in here. This Wednesday I'm going to try to get Whiplash over for some live gaming and an informal interview about his experience at MLG Dallas. Fun week ahead!
What does this sexy guy have to do to get featured? He's been an awesome streamer for VT Gaming and for the community and he is very unconventional (in a good way!) I think he has earned it with his consistency and community adoration!
I +1 the Feature thing, I watch a lot of streams, but I haven't found one as entertaining as this one. Humour, commentary, laddering, interacting with the listeners and a good bit of rage as well! All in a nice balance. If anyone deserves a feature it's Cecil. ^^
Cecil is by far my favorite TL streamer. He always shows up for his scheduled stream times and even throws in some extra hours over the weekend if he is at a LAN. He is DEFINITELY entertaining. I can't resist trying to watch him at work on my phone. He is hilarious. He has got to be one of the best zerg players ever. He has his bad days but so does everyone else. He does audio commentaries which are very insightful. I look forward to catching his stream any time I can.
This stream should totally be featured! It's insanly entertaining, viewer participation and educational. Cecil has even tried out strats that we are describing to him live on ladder! Audio commentaries and what not are there aswell. Like i cant actually think of anything that would- Nay COULD be missing! It covers everything!
This stream is totally underated, it should totally be featured! Hes very entertaining a good player and has probably taught me more than some of the 'pro' streams.
Now for the subject of this thread to be switched Thanks for the support you guys. We keep the show going on schedule every time because you are all teh awesome.
cecil is the best the bomb diggity. hellz yeah the shiz nizzle . seriously though hes really good caster and player overall. we all respect him for how much he puts in for his viewers. thx cecil.
Your commentaries of Moon (and your own) games was how I learned how not to be awful at WC3. I followed your commentaries back when WCReplays was back in the double digits and you attached random youtube-ish videos in your files :D
I didn't know you streamed SC2, I'll be watching when you're on! It would be cool if you could do some Zerg Moon commentaries, that would be totally a throw back to the old days.
The funniest caster i have yet to see. everyone should really check him out. By the way TL mods his Online/Offline thing for the stream is messed up, fix it please so more people will find him
Cecil NEEDS to be featured. He is one of the best casters ever. He is passionate about the game and is an awesome zerg player. He has consistent shows and even streams from LAN events on weekends.
How does he only get 20 viewers? If he were featured the viewers would flood in, he has everything that a stream needs: Humour Quality Interaction Good Gameplay
I've been a regular on his stream since October. I've seen nights where viewers would go up to 1k, but lately that's been dwindling. He's inciteful when needed and funny at the same time, and inviting viewers to interact in what goes is a big plus. An example being last night, the 1v1 Obs game where he coached a zerg with very solid advice. People definitely need to tune in.
Normally don't see a lot of action in this thread due to the facebook page for the stream attracting most of the attention, but thanks for the support you guys are giving <3
I'll keep my promise of showtimes and entertainment if you keep your promise of being awesome Live right now, btw: www.justin.tv/CecilTV
I really loved the game he just played against terran who was going mech. He literally made the terran kill himself with infestors and it was one of the best games I've seen him play.
id recommend this stream to any zerg player primarily. i always watched Cecil all the time right after the game came out. I remember always trying to kill him with the powerups across that hole that you always cross in that one Mario Cart Hellion map :D was fun.
He interacts with his viewers alot which is one of the needed things for streams now adays and this is what Cecil will provide
Much love for you guys. Anybody can stream themselves playing a bunch of games, I'm trying to have more than just that for you guys to enjoy. If you want to see a player just playing you would typically watch the one that practices 12 hrs a day and is top10 GM. I'm trying to make up for that
one of THEE entertaining casters there is. Also very well informed when doing his Audio commentaries. funny, raging(in a fun way) good community. Highly recommended for everyone to join :D
we had some lulz in the chat today and the sc2 icons ^^
Glad to see things are picking up again See you guys for Monday's show. Not a lot of posts go on in this thread because the majority of folks have moved over to my facebook page. Let's let the new folks who may consider watching learn about us. Good times shall be had my friends.
I really enjoyed your casting of the playhem tournament! You did a great job! Also whiplash coming in at the end was fantastic. Maybe you two should be co-casters for those all the time!!!
More involvement with whiplash imo. You playing 2s with him was great to watch and the monobattles at the end of the night was good. Also DDE being awesome with planetary fortresses was hilarious.
Sorry I didn't tune in to your show saturday. I had lots of homework to do and ended up putting on music instead of your stream so I could focus a little more. I'm off monday though so I'll catch your show then!
Casting for a little longer tonight. Going to first cast my matches in the NA Playhem daily, and then on to other player's games and then _hopefully_ ship out commentary #38 for you all. Wish me luck!
When I go to select "NA Playhem Daily" as my event, my stream doesn't show up on the TL stream listing. It only does when no event is selected. I want to cast the event tonight but with the non-featured status of the stream I don't think many people will get the coverage.
Cecil is online and just got into masters again as zerg in s8 :D come join us @ http://www.twitch.tv/ceciltv I hope that some of you remember Cecil as the wc3 analasyst from wc3 and he's still doing live shows and replay commentaries in sc2
Hey guys, just a quick update before making a new thread with my updated/real info. I've got HotS beta! Awww yeaaahhh! I'll stream that for your enjoyment, how bout that? <3
Edit: Cecil asked me to let you guys know that if we he reaches more than 30 viewers tonight, there will be a contest or give away thingmajig for a HotS Beta key! So show up and have a chance at the beta!
