I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Thanks Zuta! The SS really helped in keeping the community together for the last few years.
You're a great personality and AOE3 needs you. I hope to see more casting from you in future :)

Any possibility of doing the Zuta vs Inter smackdown with Aiz and Mitoe as casters? That would be a great "season finale" since it would be more laid back and regular smackdown viewers will love it :biggrin:

Gotta give LOVE where it's deserved. If it weren't for the SmackDown - which I don't remember how I hit, but it was serendipitous - I wouldn't have come to ESOC and wouldn't have grown (to the extent I have...LOL) as a player. I've really enjoyed them, the games AND the commentary, & I'll miss them, but if you gotta move on, you gotta move on...

Thanks Zuta! always enjoyed your analysis on the game, learnt a lot from your commentaries. I think a finale with Zuta vs Inter BO7 should definitely happen.

Zuta is not gone, theres no need to miss him yet:

But, like he said, it's the end of some era. Therefore we have a right to express our sadness and misery!
Maybe Inter should have some handicap... Or they could play on nilla, where Spain is OP and there's no Japan xD

I would just like to give thanks to all that you, Inter, H2O and Veni have done for me with their frequent casts and especially the post-smackdown replay analyses. Frankly, you guys are the only reason why I stopped playing against the Ai and moved up to bigger and better things in AOE. You guys have fed my love for Age of empires, and Zuta, it relly couldnt have been without you. Your faithful streams kept the community together even almost 11 years down the line, and are one of the biggest reasons why Amhaye and Mitoe came together to start ESOC and the Spring Tournament. Thank you for all that you have done, and I hope to see you pop on twitch on Saturday afternoons in the future. :)

I've always told myself that I would continue to do the event as long as I was having fun doing it. For the better part of two years, I have really enjoyed hosting the event. Recently, however I've found that the fire I once had for Smackdown is no longer present and as a result, the quality of my own casting and the event in general have degraded significantly. In addition, the common problems of finding players and co-casters, maintaining an ESO connection, and having a working high end PC and internet connection puts added pressure on the days of casts, especially on the single day of the week I actually consider a "day off."

All that aside, I do plan on continuing casting, just on a less frequent time schedule. I plan to host smaller, more spread out events which I'll announce on this forum. These events will be more well organized with pre-selected set of players and casters for the whole event. I also am hoping that with less of a time commitment on Saturdays that I'll find myself doing more informal streams just for fun.

I consider this an end of an era (for me personally) and as such want to thank some people, without whom, Smackdown would have never been possible.

@Aizamk and @Garja
Without you two, Smackdown would have never existed in it's current format. Smackdown and the competitive scene owes it's existence to you two.

@Interjection
My faithful co-caster. Absolutely.

@_H2O @Mitoe @Goodspeed @musketeer925 @91 @iNcog @MCJim @Buckethead @tilanus @edeholland @Mr_Bramboy @DivineFire and anyone else who has helped make, mod, and promote this site
The community lives because of you guys. Be proud of that.

All the players, Smackdown would have been really boring if we only ever watched @Aizamk and @Mitoe (although sometimes it feels like we tried)

And finally, the viewers. I would have quit ages ago if there wasn't someone to talk to. For anyone who ever tuned in, my public speaking skills will forever be in your debt.

It's time for a break; thanks for reading and thanks for watching!


Will other people continue the format? Would they be allowed to?
