Group Rewatch S6E1: RFW1 420OG vs 10kMC episode 1

[isi]

The lack of actual words in that title is confusing even me.

Welcome to season 6 of the Group Rewatch, hosted by me! I apparently have been elected to share some early Race for Wool with you, which is a 4v4 competitive map created by Vetches, in which the first team to complete their victory monument wins. My previous assertion that this would all be in the Direct Fire map was false: this first match I'm showing is in the first map: Hostilities Begin, and will be between Team 420OG and Team 10kMC.

Episode 1:
Team 420OG: Avidya | Coestar | BdoubleO | Guude
Team 10kMC: Mhykol | SimpleGamerz | Dewtroid | MC Gamer (did not upload)

The episodes are all close to 30 minutes long (except Dewtroid's perspective, as she edited things down rather heavily this episode), so watching one perspective from each team would equal our usual one hour of footage. Is this good, or will the overall pace be too slow? There's about 5 matches, each at 3 or 4 episodes, so I guess it depends on how long we want this season to go.

I really enjoyed the banter between BDubs and Guude, naturally, makes me want to go back and rewatch Legendary actually. Very enjoyable but wow, such a difference in then and now in the game. I always forget there was no death messages so the random curses as people died were quite amusing. And Guude was really good with that bow!

I'm certain there will be death messages in future matches. I remember there being death messages. I think it was even custom death messages, so it'll actually say "[person] pulled a VintageBeef." Direct Fire will be in 1.8 too. The people in this episode mention sprinting a few times, and looking at the date, 1.8 was released shortly before this match was recorded, but I'm guessing this map wasn't updated for 1.8, but the next one will be. It should feel a little more familiar, in any case.
