Well it may have taken a while but all of the shoutcasts have finally been uploaded and now I can give my write up for the TLS Red Carpet Gaming CoD4 Qualifiers.

The morning started with me walking in at about 8:30 and being greeted by no team Luckily I only had to wait about 15 minutes before the first two teams arrived. This was of course x5 and ArGAYnum. After the introductions were complete Haymo from RCG arrived and sign ups were about to commence. By about 11-11:30 all the teams had arrived and were ready to kick off.




The boys organizing the seedings

Now for the good stuff, the Shoutcasts:

Bracket matches:


A great game to start the day



A close game in the losers bracket



Mr Bond makes an appearance



Game of the day for the spectators (not sure if Omen agrees)

Watch this after that cast to see the rage


I thought this would be a fairly one sided affair but I was made to eat my words


SEMI FINALS















GRAND FINAL




Fray at their peak performance


Now there was a third map for the Fray vs Vox GF but unfortunately the audio didn't come through in the cast I will upload the VoD tomorrow but it will be without sound sorry guys

- Moose for the constant threat of being banned
- McLovin for the best vids on the day
- Nick for shutting Omen down after the headset incident
- Vas for sounding more manly then he looks :\
- x5 for being the OT kings of the day (I counted at least 7 rounds of OT)

HUGE Shoutouts
- Haymo for running the event
- Imezz, McLovin and FireStrike for letting me crash at their hotel
- FireStrike and Omen for saving my throat from utter obliteration by co-casting several games with me
If I have forgotten any shoutouts I apologise

Overall though I believe it was a very well-run event, it may have taken till about 11pm to find a winner but everyone on the day had fun and, from what I heard, there were no complaints. Even from a casting point of view, everything I needed was there for the day, the slow upload speed prohibited me from streaming on the day but there were no complaints about that. Everyone I met on the day was kind and nice, the location had a great atmosphere and everyone was finally happy to put some faces to those aliases.

I hope to be there for the nationals as this is the most fun I have had at any LAN. Don't forget as well, GGF is coming up in December and I hope to see you all there.

Shoutout to Gamestahs sponsors as well:

Thanks for reading guys, don't forget to upload your pics below. I'll get it rolling with this beauty
