Glad you had a fun time Mike. You are a big part of the community and your content is incredible. Looking forward to see you on the next race :)

[@Pewlaser]

Hotted89 big thanks to you also hotted for all your work! And well fucking done Mike! Let’s get Swifty on board also for even more energy and crazyness and Let me put it this way, if you guys were a soccer team, you would be scoring a lot. Great personality’s with great knowledge. Haven’t even touched the game since 1 week after BfA but you make it more interesting than the live version. Thanks for this time and keep up the good work all of you.

Holy shit 1.5 hrs of preach talking about raiding. Thanks Jesus!!!

[@nhagan001]

I was only listening to his casts when he was on. Preach and JB were a great combination.

[@senarmthefarmer305]

I had the entire race streamed to my tractor or headphones. Mike killed it

[@nhagan001]

@@senarmthefarmer305 It really shows how far Preach has come to get that type of recognition.

[@dapineaple]

Didn’t realize it was 1.5 hours. Didn’t feel that long at all

[@Scrooge042]

You absolutely owned it, Mike. Stole the show as far as I'm concerned. Really added something with your perspective and your talent for showmanship without becoming obnoxious and making the show all about yourself. Real professional stuff, definitely the best of the caster bunch by far. And don't mind Twitch Chat too much. 90% of those are just wannabe comedians trying to out-funny each other by repeating the same shallow observations and memes. Just do the presenting/casting like you know how to and it'll work out.

[@keziaduck5910]

Can i also add that u called 350 wipes and it ended at 345? ABSOLUTE LEGEND u where the heart of the show mike thanks for making the race much more fun than it already was

[@jackadam9348]

Kezia Duck I caught that too. It was monkas

[@Nightstalker314]

He also "called" a kill on "the day" 1 day before it actually happened. Kinda curious if he called 350 before or after 300 wipes.

[@jackadam9348]

@@Nightstalker314 way before, at maybe like around 40-60 range. He said something like It's like either method get it down at 150 wipe or 350. Then he went ahead and explain why.

Preach, you gotta start franchising

[@redbullgaming]

That was entertaining! Thanks Preach ;)

[@ilikevidzz]

Man preach is such a chill and down to earth guy. He's just honest with his opinion and a pleasure to listen to. I don't even play WoW anymore since I can't do mythic raids anymore but I always go to Preach to stay in touch with the state of the game (that I hope will improve).

[@sarcomaful]

Yea about that...

[@Shylestyles]

it's so clear when you get live, raw versions of people put on the spot, you can really spot the naturally talented and genuinely interesting casters. you are truly gifted and have such a infectious positive aura. not to flame the other casters but it is no surprise that you were asked to come back. i hope you're not being too hard on yourself and self-critical, it was a truly great showing mate.

[@jaynermanman1]

Mike, you’re a natural presenter. Everything you do is entertaining even if it’s by accident I just enjoy watching you do your think because it’s genuine. Compared to the ‘talent’ on tv now you’re a step above the rest. I quit wow years ago but I still tune into your channel because you’re so damn good at what you do. Keep it up mate

[@johnalderton1042]

For my sins I have only just discovered Preach through his live commentary on the world first and "ramping" with the Disc Priests. Absolute legend and I have already subscribed. As most people said your casting was so informative, passionate, knowledgable and great to listen to. Keep it going. I am now going to watch all your videos.

[@yummy969]

You killed it. :) You're a natural at this stuff. The reason we all wanted you back is simply because you being you in front of a camera is almost always an enjoyable, uplifting experience and so it was just more fun with you participating. Your infectious enthusiasm and positivity combined with extensive raid knowledge and clear, engaging communication skills make you the obvious future choice, I suspect. So my suggestion would be thinking practically now about how you're going to juggle it with your own progression when they inevitably invite you back for the next one. ;)

[@CMOFFAT4]

out of all the caster duos i watched you and Jdotb were the only ones i actually found myself listening to. the others id lose interest and play wow or tab out, but when it was you two i was engaged and listening and actively watching.

[@spongethebob8658]

Loose, Why it is always the polish who watch this game

[@Simmo270]

I thought DeepShades really showed the side to Method we don't usually see. He was so excited and super happy to talk. Totally understood the British banter and was just on the ball.

[@jeremyhorner9531]

I love your story times preach. this was an epic one. glad to hear you got a great opportunity and kinda sucks about your own progression. But I'm glad you were able to do this. much love from team america

[@yuyuyuyu94]

Preach, cmon. Post show wasn't bad besides some audio errors. I watched it after stream because I had to raid myself at a time, and you with Adam from FinalBoss were KILLING it. You were perfect together. You, as a host, move conversation from point to point, crack some jokes and keep it grounded for casual viewer, while Adam likes to go into fine details and asks what thought process about certain strats was. It was extremely enjoyable watch, and I hope your duo can steal the show during next race again.

[@DennisSpiero]

I loved the synergy between you and JB and turned the stream basicly into a raiding Q&A you guys owned it. Only thing I missed is the importance of guilds and the friendship the method boys made over the years by playing together

[@Cero_GT]

You were brilliant Mike, a lot of fun hearing you cast and call what you were seeing from the perspective of a mythic raider. This is a door you opened for yourself, lean into it mate. Get cast MDI on your radar, you’ve a natural talent for it. Looking forward to the next event you host!

[@Halexar]

13:13 This is the sign of a true fuckin raider. Right there, that sixth sense for how the flow of a progression fight is going.

[@XanderCottrell]

im sorry youre going to miss progress this tier Mike, but thank you for hosting, ive never really cared about the world first race, but you made it fun for me :)

[@Frawl203]

All I could say was "Aw" when I saw "Storytime 5". I'm really glad this race meant a lot to you Preacherino, you did great!

[@svenbraster1305]

A story time, it has been a long time since I've seen you upload one of these.

[@bcdey84]

Preach, I’ve been following you for a while now and I’ll tell you this is the best video you’ve ever done. That story was seriously enthralling because I watched the cast as much as I could (which was quite a lot.) Hearing what went on behind the scenes was really interesting. You did a great job on the cast. Thanks for everything you do bro!

[@averagescrub3235]

It sounds like you had an awesome time man, which I'm happy for. It seems like thats one of those weeks where after its over you kinda just take a minute and think to yourself, that was one of the best weeks of my life, for me at least it would have been. You're a wild man for doing all that stuff haha

[@SamsButterscotch]

Can't believe you initially wanted to pass this up just to sit at home and raid, this is like a retelling of the Hobbit, only it's with gamers in the 21st century.

[@osjakie]

Loved every bit of casting you did. I saw that forum man t-shirt and I laughed instantly! You being a bit trolly made it even better and chat loved you!

[@kimaclaret]

40 minutes in: "Now this is where it gets really interesting..." It was all interesting! Thank you for coming back for the post show. You did such a great job, and your touch was very noticed.

[@kimaclaret]

Also you were great with the cameras.

[@tilleytbh]

i was telling myself the other day "damn this guy needs to do another storytime soon" and he does not dissapoint. please do more of these, especially in the vein of storytime 2 and 3!!!

[@DonaldTurner]

mike.. thank you for sharing that view of the experience. really happy to see your talent getting greater exposure. you rock bro. peace

[@Knives7777]

Much love from Jamaica Bro really happy for you and the impact you're having on the community as always stellar content Thank you Preach

[@AndrewO83]

Mike and Emma, BiS team. Behind every great man stands a great woman. Mike I know you're busy with your own channels on various facets of social media, but you should seriously consider casting in your future. You literally carried everyone and casted what was going on perfectly when no one else did. You've been blessed with golden dulcet tones, you certainly have a gift.

[@reyalexandro]

M8 this is your career. You made the right choice to show up. Even if it was SOME coverage, their streams had a ton of views. I say it was a worthwhile investment on your part.

[@ImmortalSoul39]

dat 16second intro tho!

Great Job Preach! I only got to see you cast during your first go at it. You did great, and I wished you were there the rest of the time i watched.

[@Scottswimonk]

Mike, you killed it the whole time casting and hosting the post show. Every time I tuned in I was praying you were casting! Hoping to see you casting and hosting more in the future!

[@aarons5846]

Scrolled through the various comments about Preach on the redbull channel wrap-up vid and they're....all positive? Well done man, they'll be having you back for sure

[@NathanMc]

Preach, you can really tell a captivating story. This was great insight into the background of the event as well as a vivid retelling of your point of view. I felt like I was there. You're a great storyteller; please do more of these!

[@sirkenzington8825]

that 6hour show was amazing. had it on all night. If it was only 1-2 hrs it wouldn't have felt in depth enough.

[@CouldBeDanny]

Mike, because of this.. I went back and watched all the original story times. Sunday's done right!

[@ryanharris7891]

I love how method got world 1st and world 2nd

[@samdunn2793]

I can’t believe you thought you thought you were going to be crucified, the way you add your perspective and banter made it so easy to watch but yet so easy follow what the players were doing even with 0 raiding background myself. You,bay and jb stole the show I hope they stream the race next tier and youguys get far more time together . You owned it.

[@tacmaar]

Preach! Something tells me that this isnt the last time you`ll be casting something epic like this. Well done mate!

[@J2thaBgeerie]

The whole show was amazing, and you made the event even more amazing. I also think this is what WoW needs, PVE world races need more exposure! It definitely hyped me up to raid.

[@Detanex]

Glad you had a great time. Really enjoyed the time you were casting. All the bants and knowledge you bring there was just awesome. Keep up the great work captain 👨‍✈️

[@FoamBananaz]

You did a fantastic job throughout the entire event, your dedication to putting on the best show possible is honestly inspiring to see. The fact you'd considered how the kill would be immortalised gets you all the respect in the world from me. Keep up the hard work and can't wait to see you on the stream next tier!

[@joshman5217]

I'm really happy you had the opportunity to cast the event! Stunning job and awesome story.

[@TK_GX]

you aced it preacher, but you get to see from this story the inner working and how hard it is to be so on point when things are under pressure, rushed, and stressful. but you all nailed it, all the casters, preacher, and the redbull guys. great story preacher. definitely do the next raid tier!

[@Pandaemperor]

Mike you were the best thing in the race i hope they invite you for the next one. looking forward to that one. also deepshades and potter were such a good guys fcking legends

[@steinarne79]

Your "fast 'n loose" to a live production.... Us behind the camera is just as dependent on YOUR quality, as you are on us. Thank you so much.

[@Slowbo]

I thoroughly enjoyed your casting during this you were definitely the best for me, also Method totally owes that Blockade kill to your arrival :p

[@darkphase7799]

You are actually an awesome guy. Its so good to see someone in your position that is still so down to earth :)

[@qqchan]

The fun after show was fucking amazing :D wish I was there live, but sadly missed the whole world first race this time, had to watch the VODs :(

[@CrimsonVow]

Not gonna lie Preach, you were amazing during the WF Stream. You managed to explain the fight in an entertaining but also informative way. I really hope they call you back for future events, your insight is irreplaceable!

[@TheFlakZak]

You were fucking amazing at the event Mike, that last stream my face was hurting from laughing so much. Pitty so few people were watching compare to the other days.

[@DecayedPony]

You absolutely killed it on the casting and the Red Bull event.

[@awmdestiny2755]

You were ace on that panel mate, great insight from a high end raider and entertaining as always! Hope to see you on the next race mate!

[@alyeanna]

I'm sorry you had to forego progression for this. Especially with all the work you've put in to prepare for it and ... well y'know Draz is basically the high point of WoW atm. Although I have to say. You were awesome. I really loved your casting, and really loved your post-raid show, it was just great. Hell, even hearing you tell this story, I just get the vibe of why you're so fit for that kind of thing.

[@GlenViraj]

Loved you preach! your casting was a God-given! pls do it again sir

[@ukstevey]

it was cool listening to the redbull stream whilst watching my boy josh. GG to all involved. Big success.

[@Miguelitobr]

Was amazing having you there, your insights and comments where amazing and really added to the race, you called them killing it with 350 pulls and thats exactly what it took 348? amazingly close.

[@deathbower]

Sounded like a stressful week, but you were the life and fuckin' soul of that casting team. So glad you were able to do it.

[@jammydodger4125]

Hotted is a legend. Mad respect for him. You were the star of the show, great work. I think you showed everyone the value decent commentary can add to any sport/event.

Oh boy , i am so thankful you did this video. Very good stuff man, keep up the great work !

You were a great caster. Entertaining and knowledgeable! I hope to see you at the next race.

[@EpicKillstreak]

Preach is the Captain of The Broken Chair. Oh Captain my Captain

[@jcb0920]

You did a great job, especially as your first go. Six hours though, ugh. I was texting with a buddy who was also watching and I asked him, doesn't this seem to be going a little long? He says, it's going to be around six hours and I logged off. Maybe two hours next time? These guys have been raiding their asses of for days on end and you guys have been with them the whole time...and we've been watching the whole time! I definitely want to see a wrap up and get their thoughts about the race but let's keep it at a high level. Just my $0.02. Congrats on the huge opportunity and the job well done.

[@joshholden9391]

you were the best part of the entire stream, especially that first night with you and Bay with the whole Captain thing i was killing myself laughing. Great job look forward to seeing you next time :)

[@LoserZalbo]

I think I've done that escape room, really fun! Where you're competing with the other team, and in different rooms? I love that this whole scene is forming, and this retelling is really interesting. I wonder if other guilds will join on this, host competing streams etc? Or if blizz will get involved! Such an interesting time. Unfortunately sick last week and missed the finale show/recap etc. Also the red bull gaming sphere is close to my work, host something for plebs like me to come and cheer or something! Would be nice to chat about new raid with people outside my guild too.

[@lnaesll]

You made the show great!! It was good before but it was great with you! Thanks preach!!

[@Yanni1105]

Real mad lad, made it fun to watch, you will be invited for sure for the next world 1st race!

[@divi9912]

Great video Mike. Did not notice time going by at all. Very interesting. You killed it, full-stop. I didn't even know there was a post-kill day2 stream. I watched the 1st post-kill VoD the day after because i had to raid that evening. After every commercial the playbackspeed was a tad slow. Not sure if that's on twitch-side or android or w/e. Had to minimize the app to get it back on pace every time. I'm gonna watch the 2nd one today.

[@kreuk13]

you better figure out what you're gonna tell the fatboss team when you get invited back next raid tier

[@SuperExodar]

Man I really hope they try to get you for the next world first but then again I don't want you to miss out on progress with your guild :c

[@SledgehammerEditing]

Started watching you in mists and worried your channel was going to fizzle out but even though I don’t play wow I drop in for these vids

[@realms6540]

Been watching you for years. But 1st time at an event like that. Your a natural, I think you might be very busy soon with more events.
