E-Rev.Tv Re-Opening its doors to HoN and looking for 1 solid caster.

[EmoScars]

As many of you know E-Rev has been around for awhile. We worked with hunter pre-honcast and came up with many of the ideas that have created honcast. Well after a brief break we are coming back and looking to pick up 1 caster to help us along the way. We want someone with personality and knowledge of the game. As of the 1st of the year there are many changes for e-rev.tv including a name change and we need someone that can hop on board with us.


Please check us out www.e-rev.tv or www.erevn.com and see what we offer!!!


If you are interested please email me PatH@e-rev.tv with some basic information.

Here is our latest post on the changes being made.



E-Rev.tv Announces E-Rev Network: The Answer

It’s coming January of 2011.

View the release article and images here

Our article has been removed from community boards, discuss it here

First and foremost, I’m writing this as a member of the E-Sports community, not as an entrepreneur. This was actually supposed to be a blog post, but after some nudging I’ve agreed to use it as “statement” for E-Rev. It’s no secret to any of you that the E-sports world in North America is in an absolutely dire state. There is no constant source of news coverage for most individual games, and there certainly is no omniscient media outlet for North American E-sports as a whole. The CoD community in particular is stumbling in the dark trying to guide what could be the most successful FPS in three years, to the light of the competitive world. The E-Sports world revolves around money, just like every other part of the business world. Sponsorship for events (both online and LAN), and teams will simply not be sustainable without a focal point for this community to flourish from. I implore you all to get behind this movement, not because I stand to gain anything (I’m not an owner or partner anymore), but because simply put… I don’t believe anyone can do it better.

So why should you listen to me?

Well for one:

E-Rev cares about the CoD community. E-Rev.tv has been the most reliable and constant coverage the NA Call of Duty community has seen dating back to the final days of Call of Duty 2. We have covered every league, every online tournament, seven COD specific LANS in the USA and one in Canada in the last three years. There isn’t another company that can make that claim about the Call of Duty series, there are few companies left in North America that can make that claim about any game. We were not paid to be at these events, we went because it was good for the community.

And Two:

Community sites should be run by the community. E-Rev is the only non-biased broad spectrum source of information on Call of Duty left in North America. You guys remember the glory days of the CAL forums right? I couldn’t post about upcoming CEVO/TGL/TWL matches or even back in the EGLN days I couldn’t post articles about their tournaments. That was wrong. E-Rev will be an even platform for all leagues, players, news outlets. And yes, even casting companies are encouraged to use our services. No league is the proper home for the Call of Duty Community, and a simple forum isn’t enough to sustain what we need.

It’s no longer going to be just E-Rev.tv

Welcome to “EREVN”, Electronic Revolution Network will not be just a casting company. In fact, we want to encourage other casting companies to use our site as a means to bring in more hits to their streams and home pages. E-Rev.tv will be just a small part of what is going to be E-Rev Network. The list of features for the E-Rev Network site is long enough that I can’t mention it feasibly here. These are the features we are promising the Call of Duty Community come January.

Our Promise to You:

Facebook/Twitter login integration- You will no longer have to use an E-Rev specific login
Article and News section fully staffed and complete with user submitted news options
Power rankings and Predictions
Enhanced tier based comment system for articles and casts
Demo and Config archives sorted by player/map/game/game type/league/LAN
Community forums with tier based moderation by community figures.
League and game specific forums.
Blogs for community figures ( we already have several people lined up)
The same live coverage you’ve come to expect from E-rev.tv as a subsidiary of EREVN
Video on Demand searchable by Game/league/lan/map/Caster
Network..

This isn’t just a Call of Duty community site or movement. The problem with every single COD Community site in North America, is the fact that it is based on Call of Duty and Call of Duty alone. E-Rev brings with its CoD resume, years of coverage for every major FPS and RTS title in North America over the last 3 years. The support of other games hitting the same focal point will drive the heartbeat of NA competition. We have a broad reach into communities that I feel most of the COD community isn’t even aware of. EREVN is here to build NA E-sports back to what it was five years ago, across every game genre. I implore you to join us on this journey. Support us during these coming months and watch the benefits pile up for Call of Duty gamers and the rest of North American E-Sports. No one can save us but ourselves, the tools to do so are being laid in front of you.



I’ve included some images of the upcoming E-Rev Network Site. Remember this is a home coded completely custom website. The possibilities are endless; we are not hampered by any pre-formatted limitations like the cookie cutter websites you’re seeing pop up. I would enjoy reading your comments here, or at other media outlets. You can always reach me at Erick@e-rev.tv or xfire: r1din

[The_Thrill]

Good luck!

[Suira]

Would love to see more casts from Minoxen (with insight from onaprayer).

[chapy]

[Azzie`]

iso: 1080p quality

[EmoScars]

Yes im twiz :D

[Hippie]

Please get Chapy, I miss his casting.

[Blitzl0l]

God, I'd love to have a new caster to listen to. Breaky is breaking my balls with his corniness.

[Tyzael]

Welcome back E-Rev. Hopefully you guys are able to deliver what you promise this time.

[EmoScars]

Chappy contact me when u get the chance :D. Idk if you still have my number but u can get with anyone from e-rev and get it.

[BreakyCPK]

We worked with hunter pre-honcast and came up with many of the ideas that have created honcast.It is great that you are coming back and I look forward on seeing what you guys produce... but please don't make claims like this as they are completely false :), I personally along with several people at honcast have spent countless hours getting honcast to where it is today with OUR OWN ideas and thoughts as well as suggestions from the community, but I don't ever remember hearing anything from E.rev

Also yes, get Chapy if you can he is a very very good caster and a lot of fun to work with.

[EmoScars]

Well ya everything here is in a friendly manor for sure. But nothing I am saying is a lie so please dont imply that. Here are some links of our casts before HoNcast was created and many of them even include hunter casting alongside our casters. So I am not saying that we created honcast by any means. You guys have done a great job feeding the competitive community with what it needs to survive. And like with anything in life competition only brings out the best in everyone. I personally have alot of great ideas that we can bring to the table. So after this im sure everyone will see alot more out of the casting with HoN.

http://www.e-rev.tv/index.php?page=casts&gid=21&icon=10

Please ignore the view count because we revamped the site and havent casted hon in awhile.

[BreakyCPK]

So basically you are trying to state that you didn't create honcast, but you "opened the doors" for us to get started... I honestly thought after I made that response that maybe you didn't mean what you said and I took in the wrong way and it was going to be done with... but that clearly isn't the case. You really do think you or your organization is worthy of suggesting you had a helping hand in honcast.

Dude, get over yourself... you have never done ANYTHING for honcast and that is the only point I was trying to make, I honestly don't even know who the hell you are. I don't care if you have worked with hunter or even casted with him a couple times prior to honcast, that doesn't mean that you have any right to say you were involved in helping come up with ideas for honcast. The thing that makes this so stupid is that there honestly isn't even a point of you bringing it up in your post, but you are obviously trying to fool people by using our name and act as if you are somehow involved. We have gotten to where we are and started from where we did on OUR measure, not anyone elses... so maybe I am getting more built up about this then I should but I am not a fan of others trying to suggest they somehow deserve some type of credit for accomplishing what honcast has accomplished because I am very proud of where it has come as I know everyone else that works at Honcast is as well.

I just wanted to clarify that what you stated with that line is in no way truthful so the people reading this could understand that.

[EmoScars]

Pre-Honcast means before honcast correct. Im not arguing that you havent done alot of work to build honcast to where it is. All im stating is that there were things around before you that were were used as trial and error to help pave the way to what it has become. We were the first people to take a shot at casting the game when no one was. We made alot of mistakes that others were able to improve on faster than we did. Any way you look at it, it was for the good of the community. Yes breaky we were around before your organization was. Hunter came to us to cover the first honleague events before honcast was created. Im simply attempting to state that E-Rev is not 1 of the many fly by night casting companies people have tried to create withing hon. It was in no way meant to insult you and your teams work. Yes u do not know who I am but I assure you that there was a time that I was casting HoN when no one knew who you were. This thread isnt made to be an argument so please dont make it one. I have not taken credit for honcast or what it has become. Im just mearly saying that BEFORE honcast ever exsisted Hunter was part of E-Rev.tv then left e-rev to create honcast. Enough said right...

[wikkedwhite]

Is this job paid?

[EmoScars]

Ummm depends truly on the level of caster you are. I cant say much more than that.

[JowiPlays]

Wish you all the best E-rev

[Decency]

Christ can you guys go one thread without trying to one-up each other? You're supposed to be the "mature professionals" and it's like listening to middle school kids. Grow the **** up.


Hopefully you fixed your terrible video player, E-Rev.

[oldgrandad]

Not to be a troll, but didn't e-rev tv provide extremely sub-par casting of hon in the past? If i recall correctly there were failed livestreams/vod uploads last fall during closed beta tourneys that caused a decent bit of rage. I could of course be mistaken and thinking of another site.

Assuming that I'm not wrong, what exactly have you improved upon to make people want to gravitate towards your site given that we have two outstanding sources of hon livestream and vods currently?

Thanks in advance for the info.

[Kolapz]

given that we have two outstanding sources of hon livestream and vods currently?

Hardly.

[oldgrandad]

Hardly.

Outstanding in terms of reliable livestreams and consistent vod coverage. I'm not here to talk about individual casters, just the services provided.

[chapy]

Chapy 1:1

The first 'casted' hon vods were done simultaneously by me and a european gent on fileplay.net. I do think his first vod came before my first vod however. The first hon streaming was done by e-rev, first with the 'ummm, like' guy + twiz, followed shortly after with twiz and I.

Chapy 1:2

Hunter was working with e-rev at that time to cover honleague. After the hon tournament was done, Hunter basically was under the mentality that he could get casting done better by setting it up himself, so him, one web dev and I were the first three people to begin devising honcast.

Chapy 1:3

I remember a solo cast on e-rev (sadly it was probably my best work with e-rev and it was never uploaded) where the web dev (I had no idea who he was at the time) was given a priority seat in the obs slot because he was a 'honleague staffer', he was in vent listening to me cast and afterward he was excited and congratulated me on the cast etc. Come to find out, hunter had him sit in on that cast to prove that he had found a caster worthy enough to go ahead and invest in honcast.

Chapy 1:4

Work began on building honcast and as time went on I sort of got more into playing competitive HoN than casting it. Meanwhile, hunter discovered this kid who was going to school to cast (breaky) and was very excited about casting hon etc. I was relieved and it allowed me to kind of slip away into the early competitive HoN days of 143/WHP/QuC/fiVe/Clan_Clan etc.


The Bible of HoN, as written by Chapy.
Chapy 1:1-4

[Decency]

Their casters were actually pretty witty and knowledgeable, from what I remember.

The big issues were that casts lagged for a lot of people and they used Microsoft Silverlight as a VOD player which just plain sucked.

Oh, and this (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showpost.php?p=439471&postcount=165).

[JowiPlays]

Lets us prey to chapys bible, Lord please Bless E-Rev with all the success you also if u look chapter 1 verse 4 the mighty chappy went competitive, Amen

[oldgrandad]

Their casters were actually pretty witty and knowledgeable, from what I remember.

Again, not talking about casters... we all know chappy is great. I'm referencing the services they provide(d).

[BreakyCPK]

Pre-Honcast means before honcast correct. Im not arguing that you havent done alot of work to build honcast to where it is. All im stating is that there were things around before you that were were used as trial and error to help pave the way to what it has become. We were the first people to take a shot at casting the game when no one was. We made alot of mistakes that others were able to improve on faster than we did.

I have not taken credit for honcast or what it has become. Im just mearly saying that BEFORE honcast ever exsisted Hunter was part of E-Rev.tv then left e-rev to create honcast. Enough said right...

Again, I don't care about the hunter part... I know that he worked with you prior to eventually coming to honcast. But the part of the sentence that disturbs me the most is..


and came up with many of the ideas that have created honcast.You state that as if I looked at what you guys did and talked to you personally to understand how things worked. That isn't and wasn't the case what so ever... Hunter, myself and Brandon are the ones that officially created honcast in the beginning, meaning we all created it TOGETHER. Hunter was just one piece to the puzzle, but you are making it seem like because hunter "worked" with you guys prior that he took all of your "ideas" and brought them to honcast and was the only one to have any input on how honcast should be run.

On top of this, you are also trying to talk as if somehow you are the first organization to even shoutcast anywhere in the first place, when shoutcasting has been around for 10+ years or so and I honestly had never even heard of you or any of your work prior to yesterday.. so no, as much as you may want to insist that you really did "pave this road" and "gave Honcast many of our ideas" it is total bullshit.

I go back to my point of the ONLY reason you obviously put it in your post in the beginning was to try to get credentials that you did not and have not earned hoping that we wouldn't notice... but we did. If you left the line at just "we worked with hunter pre honcast" then fine, that is fact and I cannot dispute that, but you felt it necessary to add the end bit which is the part that disturbs me the most. Myself and the others of the Honcast staff have put in a lot of hard work to get where we are today and for someone else to try to take credit for their own benefit just really gets to me, I dont care if it looks "childish" or "arguing like kids", if anything it shows how passionate I am in what I do here at Honcast.

[Decency]

Again, not talking about casters... we all know chappy is great. I'm referencing the services they provide(d).

Which would explain why in the latter half of my post I talked about those services.

You guys are hopeless.

[KARTlK]

ITT: lol.

don't even need to say it.

[Blitzl0l]

Sup im breaky. I made honcast and i own all rights. Who cares if u actually know how to play this game and are a much better caster than me! I invented casting video games son.

[EmoScars]

Im not going to sit here and argue with someone on the forums about who did what. The important thing is that coverage was given to a community that deserves it and seems greatful that it is out there. E-Rev.Tv has gone through alot of changes since we last casted HoN. Including more video casters with higher quality video than before. Also E-Rev is striving to become a main source for all competitive games as we have done in the past. No we will not entirely focus on HoN. We will have casters and staff who's main focus will be on it but we will continue to cover the majority of competitive E-Sports as we have done in the past. We understand that as gamers you have many choices with what you spend your time doing. Not only are there thousands of games to choose to play but there are more than enough Livestreams, youtube videos, and casting sites to choose from.

We will be casting some HoN soon with a new lineup of casters and personalities that we hope you will enjoy. We are not a company to believe our system is the best and always strive to better ourselves to the communities standards. I guess the only thing to really say is that you may watch Oprah every day but sometimes you wanna switch over and watch Ellen. We know honcast is 1 of the largest companies for coverage in HoN but we are not asking to be your Oprah, just let us be your Ellen :D.

Thanks for listing to me going on and on and on.

Pat "The TwiZ" Harrison

[JowiPlays]

That almost made me cry beautiful speech you can be my Ellen any time

[Facestomp]

Chapy over breakycpk any day tbh.

[JowiPlays]

Chapy for president

[Blitzl0l]

Did Breaky even play HoN when e-rev was casting? Better question; does Breaky even play HoN?

Go play cataclysm nerd.

[Galvia]

Best of luck E-Rev, CSN's support is definitely behind you!

I do really wish you guys the best of luck as I said in my first response with the recomendation of chapy as well. I have no problem with other casting companies coming up to provide more coverage and never will... but I just felt it necessary to respond to a line I still find unjustified in your original post, that is all. It is not a matter of an argument, it is a matter of principles and you claiming your orginization had a role in the creation and many ideas of honcast I find to be a slap in the face personally, but whatever my point has been made and you apparently don't get it. So again, best of luck to you and I look forward on seeing what you guys can produce for the community.


Did Breaky even play HoN when e-rev was casting? Better question; does Breaky even play HoN?

Go play cataclysm nerd.

Yes, yes and yes I will!

[FourCourtJester]

So.. unless E-Rev is looking for 1 more solid caster, I would suggest a lock on the thread to avoid more spam?

Also, I'm the only one showing up to work tomorrow, because Cataclysm comes out in three hours and I don't have a WoW sub :\

[stevefox]

This thread sucks, although it may be the first time in a while I've seen people arguing about who was associated with Hunter first. I'll go ahead and throw my hat in - about 4 years ago I was an admin (along with Darkfire) for a dota league called DGI which later merged with DXD to form DXDI (DXD was Hunter's league at the time on USW). This may or may not have paved the way for Honcast.

[JowiPlays]

i am sry i think i am missing something why would u wanna be associated with some one who likes little children?

[BreakyCPK]

i am sry i think i am missing something why would u wanna be associated with some one who likes little children?

Where did you go wrong holy... you used to be one of the few respected people at GR, yet lately with forum posts / behind the scene issues you have become one of the bad boys. Sad to see man, really is.... I don't know if you are trying to fit in due to peer pressure or what, but whatever, I guess this just seems to be more of the norm now days.

[JowiPlays]

I am just stating the facts, nothing is wrong with that, I love GR so Much that when someone tries to bad mouth us, and then try to act Mr nice guy it pisses me off,
to be honest I was told not to argue with you. so ill keep quit but for you info don't tell me phill was joking in DH.
cos every one knows what an idiot he is.
we had conversation over skype where we talked about controlling your staff, i dont wanna bring the issues up.
but this isn't the 1st time honcast staff dig at GR and it has to stop from you.
I have nothing against you i really wish you all the best and success but you gotta feel the same way for us.
you cant be hating on us you feel me.

[Snoopy]

Where did you go wrong holy... you used to be one of the few respected people at GR, yet lately with forum posts / behind the scene issues you have become one of the bad boys. Sad to see man, really is.... I don't know if you are trying to fit in due to peer pressure or what, but whatever, I guess this just seems to be more of the norm now days.
Funny I thought the same thing about you, but lately you've been making threads towards GR. I don't know what's it all about, but it's pretty sad to see

[smock]

OK you guys hate each other, we get it. We don't need another one of these threads... Can we just let this go and keep this on the original topic please?

[Hippie]

Peace and love? Anybody? I love everyone who casts HoN, don't fight :(

[stevefox]

this thread really sucks.
