Hammered

If it wasn't obvious, we're really good friends with the EUL talent crew. So we snagged Hap for a few hours to talk about the Benelux scene he started casting in, his transition into Tier 1 Siege, and how he hates casting in Dutch for some weird freaking reason.   FOLLOW US ON ALL THE TWITTERS: http://twitter.com/HammeredCast http://twitter.com/TheChowderhead http://twitter.com/CaliberJacob http://twitter.com/Hap_R6   Hammered is a podcast about Siege esports. We're both fans of the B-Leaguers podcast (may it rest in peace), and wanted to create a new dual-host podcast where we can discuss Rainbow Six professional play freely, without feeling like we needed to play nice. Match previews/reviews, player/personality interviews, predictions, bullshit, and more bullshit.

Reaper_En's been doing this YouTube Siege analysis thing for a while now, after spending time with several pro teams an a formal analyst. I feel like you could ask him anything about Siege, which is what we did this episode. Honestly, I dunno why he hasn't been hired by another team in that timespan. He seems cool. I guess.

One of two new additions to Rogue's European lineup, Leon "LeonGids" Giddens (whom some call Leon and others call LeonGids for some reason I dunno why) chats us up about the Rogue transfer, the end of the old Team Secret, and helps us concoct some terrible ideas for new tournament formats that we definitely hope Ubifost never uses.

As evidence of how fast things can change in Siege esports, this whole podcast with Jess is now probably outdated by accident. But it was still a pleasure having her on to discuss the new status FACEIT has with Siege, the introduction of Tempra Esports, and her previous history as a coach and current trajectory as an analyst.  FOLLOW US ON ALL THE TWITTERS: http://twitter.com/HammeredCast http://twitter.com/TheChowderhead http://twitter.com/CaliberJacob http://twitter.com/JessGOAT Hammered is a podcast about Siege esports.

Siege is an inherently complicated game to understand. So we brought in Dezachu and Geo, a pair of UK casters who's job it is to make it easier to grasp, to talk about how to make Siege easier to grasp. SPOILER ALERT: It's really freaking hard. But at least they get paid.

On a complete shot in the dark, we emailed Murph Vandervelde, co-founder of Oxygen Esports, asking if he'd be cool being a guest on Hammered. To our complete surprise, he said yes. We talk about OXG's entrance into Siege, the vision behind Helix Esports, and both Murph and Chowder beating up on Jacob for not being from New England or being a Patriots fan. SMH.

2-time World Champion, unbelievably chill guy, and the most famous man in Siege. Niclas "Pengu" Mouritzen joins us this week to talk about the new European League, comparisons to the old Pro League format, and that one time Matt Andrews picked him up in a bathroom.

We started this podcast because we really liked the B-Leaguers podcast. Then that ended. But then it came back, and this "Stoax" guy is one of the "hosts" on it. So we dragged him over to our side of the podcast spectrum to talk about LAN events, casting philosophy, and a live reaction to the Operation Steel Wave reveal on Monday the 18th.  FOLLOW US ON ALL THE TWITTERS: http://twitter.com/HammeredCast http://twitter.com/TheChowderhead http://twitter.com/CaliberJacob http://twitter.com/Stoax Hammered is a podcast about Siege esports.

Don't get me wrong. We love Helbee - he's a really good coach (ex-Team Secret), he wears tights like a champ, he's a wonderful person...but he's also French Canadian and recently unemployed so we have to laugh at him.

Ekul, Spacestation Gaming's world-championship winning analyst, tries to stop us from bullying our resident punching bag, Vitality analyst Affy, but instead somehow we actually had a really good discussion about what the heck it is they even do instead. But we still bully Affy. He deserves it.

Don't listen to Chowder, please. The Phantom Menace was one of the best Star Wars movies ever. The second episode of every podcast always sucks, the third one will be forgotten, episodes 4-6 will be great, and 7 might be good. Blah blah blah. Pro League.
