CEVO-P Preview

As part of my ongoing (and possibly never-ending) quest to earn money for writing, I wrote a CEVO-P Preview for the Carolina Core website. Also, as a side note, I'm in Florida and it's supposed to be thirty-four degrees tonight....

CGS World Finals: Unsung Heroes

Originally, I wanted to make this list ten spots, just like the previous entry about Surprising Performances. I soon realized there was a big problem: not many people qualified for both “unsung” and “hero”. Unless you expand “unsung” to literally...

CGS World Finals: Surprising Performances

It is with great shame that I admit you're seeing the second iteration of this post. The first is sitting, nearly completed, on my computer. In my infinite wisdom, I decided not to transfer that file to my laptop, which...

CGS World Finals Running Diary

I took notes during every match for the CGS World Finals, and I never thought of doing a running diary. It was a serious oversight on my part, especially considering it’s one of my favorite things to do. Thankfully, I...

Raining Boos

There's been a running theme for the World Finals, and it gets me chuckling every time. Whenever the Carolina Core are announced, and in particular Peekay, half the crowd boos. This is the same crowd that has to be prompted...

Interview with Carolina's Mark Dolven

I have a lot of respect for all different kinds of people. I respect Stephen King because my brain looks a lollipop compared to his. I respect Chuck Norris because of his internet fame. (Just kidding, I respect him because...

If you’re wondering where the articles or coverage went, don’t worry, I haven’t stopped writing my own material. Those will resume in the near future, hopefully tonight, and I promise it’ll be the high-quality, insightful, and humorous writing that’s...

Daily Spray (9/19)

– Organize a parade, I updated the Source rosters!  They really needed it, too. It was starting to get dusty in there. As always, if you have rosters tips, corrections, or a set “starting lineup” to send in, please do...

The Next CGS Draft (Questions)

The first season(for Region 1 is over, and like any good sports fan, I’m already looking forward to next season. Will the CHImera repeat? Can Belle and sWooZie learn new moves in the offseason like Naruto, or will they...

A Slight Discrepancy

Now that the first CGS season is over, we can look back and start to see some team identities forming.  NY, for instance, is probably still defined by their Source team, even though Wizakor was undoubtedly their star player....

Best Player in the CGS?

In an earlier article, I went through and figured out the average margin of victory in the five CGS categories to point out how inherently unbalanced the scoring system was. One of the interesting side effects is that it...

CGS Scoring

CGS Scoring System There’s an article on the CGS website that brings up an interesting debate: is the CGS scoring system working? Apparently, there’s been “a lot of bad press bashing the CGS scoring system.” I know I’ve written about it twice. Is...

Carolina Cure

Pandemic Epidemic, Part Deux

I’m hopping back aboard the Pandemic train for one more stop.  Choo-choo! I thought everything regarding the selection was over. He made the pick, people were outraged and took to the streets (read: forums) to complain, and some people, including...

CGS Draft, Part I

So much happened tonight, I feel like I need some blogging minions to help sort it all out. I’m thinking something less creepy than Oompa-Loompas, but more helpful than the workers at Planet Express. Send in your applications! Disclaimer: I’ll probably...
