UPDATE: We did a show! OMG! CHRIS! YOU DOUBTED US! We talked about ESL Edmonton, a bit about live servers, about what’s coming up in Orlando early next year and I can tell you it will be a lot of fun and MLG got quite creative with their ideas.
We’ll probably record a new show tomorrow (Friday) around 1 p.m. CST and hope to have it uploaded before 4 p.m. CST. Just updating those who I promised a show today.
Podcast Update
Another (2) week(s) another ArenaCast. Keith was unable to attend this week due to work but in his place we have quite the cast!
The cast this week:
Mike ‘Twixz’ Shane
Ryan ‘Realz’ Masterson
Elliott ‘Venruki’ Venczel
David ‘eslshawn’ Kugelmann
Sascha ‘Yiska’ Heinisch
We discuss such topics as the ESL American Championships happening next week in Edmonton, Canada, at the West Edmonton Mall.
Links discussed throughout the show:
Twixz’s Truck Hotel Room
Water bottle giveaway
See you next time!
Podcast Update
Yeah, it’s been awhile. Yeah, we’re late on MLG Anaheim thoughts. Yeah, Yiska confesses his love for Edward the last 10 seconds of the show. All that and more this week on ArenaCast!
We have Isaac ‘Azael’ Cummings-Bently from Team EG and Yiska of Eurospective.com fame alongside myself (JP) and Keith ‘Igoaf’ Trahan this week. We talk about MLG Anaheim and ESL among other things.
p.s. Sascha is extremely gay awesome and if you do not listen to the last ten seconds of the show you’re missing the best soundbite in the history of the podcast
Podcast Update
UPDATE: Didn’t run the ArenaCast in the intro — technical difficulties. We’ll have it shown sometime throughout this weekend though for sure.
We didn’t do a show this week because our “show” will be featured in the pre-game this weekend at MLG Anaheim (99%). Make sure to tune in Friday at 6:30 PST for an interesting ArenaCast episode.
Keith and Jared will be doing commentary all weekend long and I’ll be running the Live Blog as well as fucking up interviews with the pro players, and perhaps some special guests! Make sure to tune in this weekend.
I won’t be updating this site over the weekend so make sure to check for all updates over at www.GOTFRAG.com
See you then!

The long lost Orangeinterview many thought never took place is finally here. Not much else to say other then I apologize for getting this out so late. There’s a bigger post with a streaming version of this on GotFrag.
Let us know if you like the show. We might do more of these in the future with different players, and hopefully get better as we go along. Now enjoy me saying “awkward” about 500 times. Thanks for listening!
Podcast Update
Not really sure what to write right here. Woo write, right. Yiska from Eurospective and Douja from Fnatic join us this week to talk about life, love, and tiny dogs. Only one of these are really what we talk about. What will it be? Listen to find out!!!!?!!!
Podcast Update
A wild ArenaCast appears! I couldn’t decide on a title. One makes sense (the second, kinda?) the first one you have to listen to the show first. Keith’s microphone decided to be completely weird on his end with the recording tool and he sounds… I dunno, not normal.
There’s no way I can edit it to make it sound normal though so you’ll just have to listen to me talk clearly (ugh) and listen to Keith talk like a robot (ugh). On with the show topic!
Joining us is popular hunter Twixz from the winning team of MLG Dallas and also MLG PC Circuit Tournament Director (long title?) Ryan Moore in which he lets loose two of the teams that will be in attendance at MLG Anaheim. He also makes a kissing noise halfway through — we didn’t ask why. Maybe that was to Yiska of GameRiot.
So, it’s not perfect, but its something. Not sure when we’ll be back with a new show but keep looking out for it!
Podcast Update
You might be wondering why this is another post without a show attached to it — we’re working on it. GotFrag expects a little bit more than usual on the production and editing side of things than we’re used to… but I promise the stuff we’ve done is something the community will enjoy. Now onto the point of this post.
Jason Bass (GM of Complexity) is celebrating his 67th birthday today and instead of receiving gifts he’s giving them. See below for full contest details.
He woke up this morning and felt like giving a birthday present to our fans. In celebration of his birthday, he is feeling a little crazy and wanted to try a big contest and an auction to help out one of our community partners.
First we are going to auction off three authentic compLexity Jerseys on EBay. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to ArenaCast.

Auction 1
Auction 2
Auction 3
The Contest
The prize package is probably the largest we have ever given away. This package is sponsored by Creative, XFX, PureTrak, Fame Networks and G8 and they are all throwing something in.
The compLexity Pro Gamer Package is below:
Soundblaster X-fi PCI Express Sound Card provided by Creative
Soundblaster Arena Surround USB Headset provided by Creative

An Authentic CompLexity Jersey(the same as the players wear) provided by G8
A CompLexity branded Hoodie provided by G8
A CompLexity branded T-Shirt provided by G8
The winner will receive $300 cash. There is a catch to this money. The winner will be asked to write an honest review of all of the products he/she has won and upon completion will be given the cash via check or Paypal.
The total package is valued at OVER $900.
In addition to the grand prize, PureTrak has agreed to give away 10 more compLexity pads to 10 lucky random winners. So spread the word and post often.
The rules of this contest are simple yet confusing all at once, so make sure to pay close attention. This is a viral contest so spread it to your Twitter community, Facebook, MySpace etc. The more places you post this link the greater your chance is to win. People will have until October 8th to enter!

ArenaCast Development
The title really says it all: we’re joining the GotFrag.com community. Why do you care? Well, this means we’ll be able to broadcast matches (not sure about the frequency of this yet) on the MLG Tournament Realm. This also means that the show will be video (although you won’t see me and Keith via webcam — not anytime soon at least).
I wanted to present this to you in audio form but since we haven’t really been the timeliest as of late I just wanted to get the information out there. I’m going to start bitching at players and Keith (as well as myself) to do a show more often as well. I’ve been pretty busy nerding it up in Aion and prepping for graduation as of late and Keith is on the infamous job hunt. Enough of that.
Eventually we plan to move over to the GotFrag portal but for now we’ll be staying here. In the (near) future though things will start to change a little bit — but only visually. ArenaCast will still be the same show, have the same values (uh, what?), and not praise MLG as if they are the almighty organization in the eSports world. It was something I made sure we’d be able to criticize if it needs to be criticized.
Nothing is changing, we’re just growing. Most of the matches played will be exhibition matches (no money) but hopefully down the line we can get something to entice players and teams to want to play in the public eye.
We’ll try to get something up in audio form as soon as possible. I know we’ve sucked about that in the past, uh, what is it now, almost another month? The Orange episode is still going to happen. We would of recorded yesterday (Saturday) at noon but Orange had to play in the GOMtv Prelims with his team. He has all the questions though and will be going over them and we will be recording it.
That’s about it for now. I’ll update again when we have a show (OMGSOONIKNOWSRY) ready to put out and when we start doing matches (sooner then you think) we’ll post those up too. Thanks everyone for sticking around even though we slack. I’d like to mention that “late this weekend” usually means Sunday. See you soon.

Things have been quiet around ArenaCast for the past week or so. That’s because we’ve been pretty busy getting everything situated for whats coming up this weekend.
Can’t talk about much at the moment but expect something late this weekend — something awesome. Like cotton candy, everyone loves that shit.
