Admirable — Over at Castle Crack we are always concocting hare-brained schemes to raise those elusive LAN funds. We’ve developed a myriad of income streams that have Wall Street clamouring for our attention, but we would never sell out to those fat cats.

We started out trying to deliver some Premiership level content, albeit intermittently, but thankfully the response from the community was good. So the next challenge was “How can we convert that in to sending TviQ to Telford?” I mean you wouldn’t believe the cost of an international nanny for five days!

On our portal at crackclan.com Google Ads trickle a few pennies in to our coffers, although significantly less when I don’t bother my arse to keep writing battle reports and content. More recently you might have noticed the revival of our YouTube channel and the launch of the Crack Clan Store, again more ruthless attempts to cash in on your love for all things Crack Clan.

So continuing on this theme of transparency, I’d like to ask you all to lend me your cursors and help Crack Clan get partnered on Twitch. As you may be aware, the benevolent Twitch John often bends over backwards to support Team Fortress 2 from his heavenly perch atop the pantheon of eSports; so this is definitely a reality. We are aware Twitch isn’t some sort of cash cow, but it is an avenue we are keen to explore.

Admirable — Friday’s journey through taste and hypertext left a lot to the imagination, so I returned today in a much more stoic fashion. Yesterday I was targeting your inner child, today I am feeding data in to your cold robotic gaming exterior; prepare for a presentation of facts that may interest you.

Tip of the Hats is the brainchild of Sean “seanbud” Stradley, the popular American streamer, Fully Torqued scout and all round nice guy. At its heart the event aims to raise funds for the remarkable One Step Camp organisation that gives children coping with cancer a chance to experience childhood and close community at camp.

At the time of my last post the totalizer was hovering around the $200 mark. As I clatter keys here today I see the total has rocketed past $2200… and the stream hasn’t even gone live yet. Stop looking all self-satisfied, Europe. This happened whilst you were asleep. I don’t think we can take credit for this one.

We might have lost to those North American hackers back in August at i46, but we can surely flex our monetary muscles today with a wave of donations. I’m issuing a challenge: double it! I want to see $4500 before the clock strikes midnight in Europe. If we come up shorter than a harbleu rocket jump, I think we might as well not bother showing up for i49.

Byte — Along with the great content coming out, Ipz has made a POV analysis of him versus Broder. This game was pre playoffs, standard pcw in which Crack Clan lost 7-3 on cp_badlands.

So for all you soldiers out there and even if you aren’t a soldier, I’d watch the insight of this guy, and see how difficult it is to play at the top of the game.

Updated at the bottom with an interview/statement by ipz-

Arie — After losing last night’s playoff match versus broder, Crack Clan is making some roster changes. Both soldier T-Mac and scout TviQ have been removed from the roster by ipz-.

When asked about the roster change, TviQ had this to say:

TviQ: Lol retards
TviQ: :)
TviQ: was abaud time
Arie: Abaudzilla time?
TviQ: xD
TviQ: Take both
TviQ: :D

Crack Clan captain ipz- had this to say about the roster change:

Ippz: in my defense i kicked tmac accidently cause im high as a kite and i pressed on tvique twice
Ippz: yeah cc seems to be the cheater magnet
Ippz: this whole bust movie thing getting posted at the same time seems to be a funny coincidence

Is this all an elaborate troll by ipz- / Crack Clan? Is TviQ really going to get busted for cheating after all? Or did TviQ and T-Mac get kicked for different reasons altogether?

ipz- contacted us to ensure us this is not some troll move:
