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.

[Bjarky]

cool, looking forward to the action, gogo Denmark, make Scandinavia proud 

[bosco]

Yup, this is actually pretty cool.

[ulya]

5v5 Battles have started.

Right now:
Poland vs Israel

[Materia]

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

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

[Tor!]

russians kicking ass

[ulya]

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.

[Tor!]

Russia vs USA now. Last round went 19-0 to the russians 

[CrazyCracka420]

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
Wish I could have seen the jousting

[Christo]

Hehe, USA got owned by the Russians.

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

Yeah, 1vs1 are fun to watch.
