GosuGamers is pleased to announce the addition of Heiko ‘RazinglikeNP’ Hammer to our line-up. Heiko will take over the YouTube channel and dedicate his talents to creating skill and community movies in the future.
RZNP, who made a name for himself working with the likes of famous holy_hexor, just released his latest video ‘NA’VIGATION – pushed to the limit’ and will start working on skill-movies for the various ongoing tournaments from both Eastern and Western hemispheres. Upon joining the GosuGamers family, Heiko "RZNP" Hammer had to say:
?“Hello GosuGamers community!
I am happy to announce that I will be in charge of the GosuGamers.net YouTube channel!
I have been editing DotA / Dota 2 Movies for almost two years now, working together with WoDotA, The Premier League, Ghost Pictures, Luminous, hOly_hexOr and many others. You've probably seen some of my projects, e.g. the ‘Hexor the movie 2’, on my private channel. I have now teamed up with the legendary GosuGamers and will leverage from their experience and reach to provide you with even more and better videos.
My goal is to showcase the best plays from all major tournaments and spread the word about the beauty of high-skilled competitive Dota 2 around the world and I’m looking forward to building a team of people who scan through all the matches for the most epic and fail plays. Sign up here if you like to help us collecting timestamps or edit videos yourself.”
Skill movies, also known as frag movies, have been around in eSports since the early days of Quake, Counter-Strike and Brood War, have persisted through the WarCraft III and DotA years all the way to contemporary titles and have been preserving the history of eSports in the most entertaining fashion. Consequently, GosuGamers' motivation for pushing the YouTube channel after so many years is to pick up this very idea: to put the best plays into the limelight and hype not only the established professional players but also the up and coming individuals on the verge of bending the mechanics of the game.
The GosuGamers crew started to collect VOD material about two years ago, gradually creating one of the most complete VOD databases in the scene. Featuring more than 8,000 files to date, the next logical step was to boil down the vast amount of content and distil the essence of competition. It took some time until a plan was made and a core team of people was found to kick off this ambitious mission.
Our first movie will be launched on the upcoming Friday, September 22nd, and while RZNP is enjoying what could very well be his last vacation that week, the crew will be organizing time-stamps as to feed him enough content to forge his movies.
- How to be a part of this?
We’re currently looking for people who want to help us collect time stamps from tournament matches, video editors who like to build up their brand, as well as helping hands to go through community submissions for when we start creating user-submitted videos.
