Group Rewatch S6E3: RFW1 420OG vs 10kMC episode 3

[isi]

The thrilling conclusion! It's still anyone's game, but who will get there first?

Episode 3:
420OG: Avidya | Coestar | BdoubleO | Guude
10kMC: Mhykol | SimpleGamerz | Dewtroid

Next match will be either 420OG vs JEDS or 10kMC vs TTR. They were both posted at the same time, so it's a tossup. Any preferences?

Since no one else has offered their thoughts on the episode, here are some of my more general thoughts:

I lovelovelove the intro and outro to these. By now, for me, the music's got that little touch of nostalgia, but even watching RFW when it was first airing, it was like instant pump up music, and it has never gotten old. I've also always loved the player display, with everyone having a little slice of the screen, usually annotated to link to their channels. It's fun to see the little "character quirks" there, like Avidya with his "white Russian" and MC with his lapis, and it's a little odd seeing this now, knowing it's all been there, long before I cared about them, and they're still "things" now.

I got a little bit of that in the episode as well. I mean, Avidya and his cobblestone generator. That's a neat detail for me to notice, knowing his expertise in cobblestone generators from the server. Not to mention it was a brilliant idea.

And there was that nice moment during the post match shenanigans with BdoubleO: "I used to be a loner, like a one man wolf pack. But then I met Guude and thought, could it be?" Aww. Too bad he gets interrupted by SimpleGamerz punching him into the void.

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with these like I should - it's a mix of real life craziness and the fact that RFW is just plain disorienting for me. Eek!

I think I wanna watch the JEDS match next, because Etho x Doc is something that I think would be interesting to explore but we don't see them interacting much anymore, so...

What do you find disorienting about it? I found this particular match a little disorienting as well, though that was mostly because all the players had seen this map before, and I have not. I'm hoping the next match will be better, since I believe it'll be everyone's first time playing Direct Fire.

The JEDS match is the one I remember seeing back in the day. Time to see if it's half as exciting as I remember it.

I think it's partly that and partly just the fact that 90% of the time that I "watch" videos I'm actually only listening to them.

Ah, that would do it, wouldn't it. Yeah, this probably is a series best watched and not just heard.
