Livestream

Jousting should start in 20min(13:00CET)

Jousting in 10minutes, everybody preparing on dem horses.

It'd be a shame if you miss it.

Note: they fucked up the sound right now, so don't put the volume too loud.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

For random chit-chat bullshit about the stream.

edit 13:13. Jousting about to begin, sound seems fixed.

It looks like a combination of WWF & MMA in armor.

They dont do anything, just keep pushing each other, jumping, etc.

21 vs 21 now
Even more epic than before.

And yes, it is a lot like wrestling in a lot cases, but even with that it is still fun to watch.

That's what they said, now they changed it to Ukraine vs USA, looks like 21 v 21...can't wait to check this out.

Oh it was Russia vs USA, russians destroyed USA 16-0.  Looked pretty dumb honestly :P
Wish I could have seen the jousting

Hehe, USA got owned by the Russians.

Was funny to see an American flag and people shouting "USA USA USA" within a medieval setting.

Program for tomorrow:

(click to show/hide)

1v1 "Duel" is what I think most warband people will look forward to, it will be more fighting rather than wrestling.

Edit 20:12
Next 2 matches: RUS vs POL and RUS vs UK
Nr 1 vs nr 2 and nr 3.

Post by: bosco on May 02, 2012, 08:25:24 pm
Yeah, 1vs1 are fun to watch.
