Vote for Owzo!

by Seanza • 3 Sep 2010, 23:36 • News
As I'm sure a lot of you are aware after reading United Kingdom MerlinatoR's journal, our favourite Welshlad Wales Owzo has entered a competition called "So you think you can shoutcast?" where he is in with the chance of winning an fully-paid trip to the World Cyber Games in United States of America Los Angeles, California to be featured as the commentator for the WCG TV at this year's event finals.

To win the competition, Owzo, real name Owain Howard, had to submit a video with him shoutcasting the match as if it was happening live. The choice was between Tekken or Counter Strike. An easy choice for Owzo then considering he mentioned last night how Tekken wasn't a game that tickled his fancy and that he had played Counter Strike a few times back in the day. So he downloaded the clip, shoutcasted over it in true Owzo style by "steamin' in" and then uploaded the video to YouTube as per the competition guidelines. This is where you guys come in...

Owzo has, time and time again, provided the community with top-notch shoutcasts to make watching your favourite teams as enjoyable as possible. And this was before he voluntarily shoutcasted at the Antwerp eSports Festival this year. On top of all that, he's a decent guy and a valuable asset to your community. So please, take a few minutes out your time to head on over to Owzo's entry for "So you think you can shoutcast" on YouTube and click the "like" button. If you don't have a YouTube or Google account (why not?!), then take a few more minutes to create one and give this guy the support he deserves.



So let's steam in and send Owzo to LA!

The man, the legend, the Owzo.

hey mate, how many takes did you make + have you watched the video a few times before shoutcasting it? or did you have to cast it "live" ?

Who the fuck cares. Do 500 on those crappy public servers of yours and I'll begin to care a bit.

This is done against the Destination Skyline, where every player was 666 times better than your whole team is ever going to&#65279; be.

i voted on my main account, then voted on my sock puppet. it's a real, real shame you can't shoutcast more often, because it genuinely makes watching important games a lot more immersive.

good luck :}

Well, if that's what you think then fair enough, but concidering he put his video up at least 3 weeks earlier than me I can't see that being too bad ;)

and you have to realize the HoN community is at least ten times if not hundred times bigger. Last night I checked gamescanner and there were about 200-300 ETpro players online. In HoN theres at least 10K ppl online at all times.

Breakycpk also runs honcast.com a site which gets shitloads of visitors every day. So yeah, we got a good chance :)

Really nice cast, you've got my vote mate. Only advice I could give ya is to maybe throw in a bit more tactical analysis, otherwise the rest is awesome. Good luck!
▼
Owzo 5 Sep 2010, 12:36
cheers :)
Parent

Adacore 6 Sep 2010, 03:20
Yeah, I thought about the absence of tactical stuff when I watched it, but actually that's normally the kind of thing you talk about between rounds, or after you've seen a number of rounds. You can't really comment about that stuff when you're just casting on a single 2-minute clip. It makes it feel a bit less real, but I don't see how you could compensate, given the format of the competition.
Parent
▼
Nemesis- 6 Sep 2010, 16:51
The difference between CS and ET is that there's always action in ET, while CS can be somewhat slow occasionally. This particular clip used for the competition is pretty eventful for the most part, so I suppose you're correct in saying that analysis should be left to breaks here. That said, obviously the caster can't just be sitting mute in his chair if the round were to come to, for example, a save.

Adacore 9 Sep 2010, 01:01
I know the difference between the games - I watch a fair bit of CS (and CoD), even if I don't play them.
