RWR #10 with: Sandland - players: Nevix vs prosentti

A very drunken and surprisingly insightful cast with Sandland. The player is a prospective WmD clan member coming up against a Lvl. 19 US player - it's an excellent game and a nice gem that Sandland found buried on his clan forums.

I think we should organise a small tournament to put it through its paces

They're both, it's a challenge to get those particular stats. Not every challenge can involve trying to win a game with a self inflicted handicap. But more will in the future, surely.

Here's the video for episode 2 - Brit demo rush time trial - a music video!

Next challenge: Helping Hans Panzer Elite Kill/Death challenge! In automatch kill as many enemy troops as you can with losing as little of your own PE forces as possible. The most exciting game will be cast with Hans on commentary. Take a screen shot of the end game stats and then submit it together with the replay to redditcoh@gmail.com - a 0 counts as a 1 in K/D calculations.

I think I can accurately describe why Krebs gets a lot of dislike from a lot of people despite his success.

He's a bit like the Walmart of CoH. He's successful but a lot of people don't like how he operates. For example asking for donations for an i7 whilst streaming at 720p at high settings, or his brief casting of the latest games whilst their popularity is at a high. He's the quintessential "Susbcribe/Like/Favourite and tell all your friends" - YouTuber, some people find that obnoxious because it comes across like he cares more about growth of his channel than the strength of the content itself.

That's fine though because despite growth I'd say that the audience you capture matters just as much. What's the point in 1000s of viewers if they are on average less passionate about the game? But that's fine because someone has to capture the casual player market, and that's what Krebs has done. He enjoys the more casual side of CoH and caters to fans of it. However when Krebs is 4 out of 5 of your suggested videos on YouTube because you watched an episode of another Shoutcaster's video it can get annoying. Economies of scale in action.
