Event: ESEA Invite Season 11 Finals
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

ESEA Invite Season 11 finals will take place on the weekend in Dallas, TX and we now present you with a viewer's guide for the event so you can catch your favorite players in action.

Notice that due to the event taking place in North America, the matches actually begin on Friday local time, but are on Saturday in Central Europe due to timezone differences.

ESEA uses two different shoutcasting pairs in the tournament, with Corey "dunn" Dunn and Jimmy "whisenhunt" Whisenhunt casting together and former 3D player Ronald "Rambo" Kim casting with Connor "CAKEbuilder" Gentilcore.

Saturday, June 30:

02:30 mouseSpaz vs. SK HLTV + Stream

We will be adding hot matches of the finals this season and the ESEA Counter-Strike 1.6 stream has been added to our stream list so you will be able to find it there during the event under the name ESEA.

My preview for the event will be posted soon for those who haven't followed the North American scene this season.

i assume you're a troll but just to double check, tromhat has never made it to even one of the top levels of competition in north america, meaning he has never been on a top60 team over there.

i don't know if he has some cheating movies or if he trolls enough on the forums that people believe him, but he is not, nor has he ever been, a good player. even in north america.

Great to see HLTV for every game! American casters are especially weak.
Looking forward to this!
2012-06-27 07:42:30
I'm going to be honest and say that I completely do agree with you. However, as stated in this newspost above, the inclusion of Connor "CAKEbuilder" Gentilcore, who will be casting solely with Rambo, should hopefully help change this notion throughout the upcoming weekend during ESEA LAN 11. If you haven't heard of CAKEbuilder then I'm positive that will change upon the conclusion of this event as well... hopefully!

Don't forget about the 3 live streams which are broadcasted based on the delayed HLTV. I encourage people to sync the stream with your HLTV. That way you can watch HLTV while listening to CAKEbuilder and Rambo. If you don't like them you can obviously mute but definitely give them 1 chance.

I'll be on-site at ESEA LAN filming all matches with another staff member for ESEA News so stay tuned for tons of videos as well.

And props to HLTV.org for covering the event! Thanks very much.

Thanks for the heads up! I've heard of CAKEbuilder but haven't heard him cast. Looking forward to it now :)
2012-06-27 08:28:04
Cakebuilder is an awsome commentator imo. Not too serious as whisenhunt but not to jokey as rahim
2012-06-27 07:57:21
CAKEbuilder is certainly different. Although this will be his first ever LAN he still has a wealth of casting experience and is comfortable on camera. And I'm sure he won't disappoint his mini army of fans back home (modest 1,249,806 views and 3,478 subscribers on his YouTube).

Stay tuned!
2012-06-27 08:03:02
isnt he the one posting his cheating movies here and making threads (no im not talking about fodder)? or did i confuse him with someone else?
2012-06-27 13:42:46
Just to clarify, there has been reports of a fake CAKEbuilder that trolls here on HLTV.org, it is in fact NOT the CAKEbuilder referred in the news post - just another simple forum troll.
2012-06-27 15:00:44

that's why he's so good despite being so young.

yah he's 15 years old, but seeing as he lives 48 hours per day, 40 of which is dedicated to cs as you say and the other 8 for sleep, he's actually the equivalent of 30 years old
