The Breakdown Daily Recap - 1/3/18 (Captains Draft Groups Preview, VGJ.Storm roster)

I will be in Washington D.C. for the next 5 days as I will be attending the Captains Draft Tournament that takes place from 4th-7th of January.  As a result I am recording these daily recaps from my hotel room, so the quality may not be the best!

For today I preview the groups for Captains Draft, talk about the ESL Katowice decision to invite Na'Vi, and the new VGJ.Storm roster with BSJ and Monkeys

The Breakdown Daily Recap - 1/2/18 (Captains Draft Groups Announced, New China Powerhouse Team)

Today I go over the groups that were announced by Moonduck for the Captains Draft Tournament set to start on January 4th, 2018 which I will also be attending as a spectator.  I also look at the invited teams announced for ESL One Katowice which is in late February, and even a new team announcement from China including powerhouse players such as Xiao8, Ferrari and Burning

Check it out and don't forget to follow me on social media as well as look forward to daily recaps updating every day for the dota 2 competitive scene!

The Breakdown Daily Recap - 1/1/18 (Forev leaves Immortals, LGD new roster)

Today is not only the first day of the new year, but as a result I am also bringing back my daily recap which I intend to do every day moving forward as long as I am involved in the Dota 2 competitive scene. I can't promise 100% consistency, but will do what I can to make this goal real and if I happen to miss a day or two, I will catch up on what happened the following show.

 Depending on how much happened, these shows will be anywhere from 5 minutes to 30+, and I will also upload both a Youtube video version as well as audio only right now to my soundcloud account.

 I will plan to post both version on my blog site here as well, so you can just check this site daily, or follow anyone of my social media accounts to make sure to stay on top of the content coming out. 

For this days show, 1/1/18, I discuss Forev leaving Immortals as well as the new LGD announced roster

It has been a while, but a lot has been happening both in life in general as well as the Dota 2 world and myself.  I just got back from my first LAN recently, and leave for my next tomorrow morning, which will be in Shanghai China.

I also just recorded my first new podcast show with Zrock, check it out

Busy Casting Week Ahead

All I have been hearing since TI7 is how busy this new season will be and how many opportunities there will be... yet until this last weekend I still hadn't heard much about actual casting.  Well, that changed as BTS reached out to me and all of the sudden I have a very busy and full week ahead, hopefully the start of much more to come!

I will be the official caster for the NA region in the Starladder Invitational Qualifiers this week, where the top 8 teams including Evil Geniuses, Complexity, The Dire, Immortals and more will be duking it out for the one spot on the line.

I will also be doing some EU PGL Bucharest Qualifier coverage on Tuesday as well, so pretty much my whole week is full.  I do plan to still do my personal stream on most days but we will see how exhausted I am!

Starladder Casts and more FPL with teamspeak

These last couple of weeks have been pretty busy once again with even more FPL casting as well as finally some actual tournament match casting.  All be it, not the tier 1 games, however I have been following Team Tuho a bit which included Insania and Micke.  They have been playing in many events, including a lower tier Starladder tournament as well as the open qualifiers for the Starladder iLeague Invitational Minor, where they ran into Khezus new stacked team in the semi-finals.  I found a co-caster for the series in someone named Robnroll, who turned out to be a pretty solid co-caster and we had a lot of fun in this bo3 series.

Also with all the FPL casting I have been doing, you can find my full youtube playlist here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGVojQHDe_B_KJb8OraPBzFsqEUnpVISJ
