Audience expectation (people's thought):
KaiserKlein Vs Raphael ,umm idk I think Raphael will win somehow but let's see ,Kaiser has improved alot over year!
BlackStar_OP Vs Mitoe , Yes! This is the matchup we are all looking forward to see ,MITOE, H20's practice partner vs BlackStar_OP (who beat H2O) , umm I think BS_OP will win somehow,but scared as Mitoe also can win.
Wtf? Raphael also beat H20 right?
Oh yes!He beat him only when he was LordRaphael not just Raphael!!!! Guys what we are seeing till now is Raphael , will Raphael be LordRaphael and take the game or Kaiserklein becomes KaiserKing and takes the game?
Bs_op Vs Mitoe,All we have seen till now is not his peak performance for sure not preparing for the tourney becuase of not much time but takes out the player by playing some warm up games before starting , will this be enough to beat Mitoe? Mitoe will surely prepare for the games and bs_op must do something ,So will BlackStar_OP become BlackStar_god and take the game or Mitoe becomes Mighty_TOE and takes the game?

To watch these matches please tune into ESOCTV twitch channel next weekend! June 3 and June 4!
This is the Battle of the Gods we are waiting for ! KaiserKing , LordRaphael, BlackStar_GOD , Mighty_TOE , 4 god's battle each other to see who's the new aoe3 god and will crowned​ the King!

Raph said he wasn't playing well at all lately... maybe he was just trolling but hey. He wasn't flaming or anything when we started to discuss Kaiser's chances of winning. Queen could very possibly be getting some nice new shoes...

Also next time no post releases on monday, tuesday or wednesday...

also it's ironic, Callen thought he'd made a great move joining the ESOC Nazi staff, but then he got hamstrung by the grammar Nazi patrol on his first assignment. :uglylol:

P.S.-Please forgive me for noticing and mentioning this.It's a tiny grammatical thing.In the first sentence of paragraph 1, "Mitoe" instead of "Mitoe's" seems more correct(modifier).Some rephrasing would be necessary..Similarly, in the first line of the sixth paragraph, "Blackstar" or "he" instead of "it's" seems more correct(some rewording again! ).It's a very minor quibble.I gather that the authors are native users of the language and grammatical correctness, especially in an ESO article, might be of interest to them.I wish we see more of them.For any reason other than grammer though, please ignore this paragraph.
Disagree with both of these. It looks fine to me.


Despite his terrible grammar, his second suggestion is actually rather correct. When an adjective phrase is set apart at the beginning of a sentence, it is typically proper style to have the subject that it modifies come directly afterwards.

For example:

"Very skilled at Ports, Kaiserklein's Germany barely managed to beat goongoon."

vs.

"Very skilled at Ports, goongoon nevertheless lost to Kaiserklein's Germany."


This is usually most applicable with dangling participles (i.e. you can't tell to whom the modifier applies). Another example:

"Playing with a broken keyboard, Kaiserklein defeated goongoon."

The above example seems to imply that Kaiser was the one playing with the broken keyboard due to the style rule I outlined above, but it cannot be said for a certainty, as the modifier qualitatively would seem to apply to goongoon (playing with a broken keyboard is likely to lead to a loss).


Anyways SEMIFINALS HYPUUUUU

Don't worry guys... duck and I are in the process of drafting up another fine piece of ESOC literature and we will make sure our modifiers are modifying correctly this time!

First few sentences of the finals preview so far:

"With spectacular Germans play, BlackStar_OP's defensive line was smashed through repeatedly in Game 1. Mitoe's Black Riders raced past the Trading Post caught the Lancers unexpectedly. Victorious after 30 minutes of back-and-forth action, his multitasking here was especially noteworthy."
