Drachenfest 2018: The Morningstar Tourney

[@Mimsyborogove923]

This format made for some of the best fights! Love the drama.

[@TheIrishWill]

I agree! It makes it way more engaging!

[@jodojodo6406]

Guy with the broken shield really helped everyone look good while in battle

[@jmaebm1262]

Puritaneidonichi

[@jmaebm1262]

Say comascu chiericum est bellum fedora

[@v45cuyr]

The guy with the broken shield and the sword was my favourite guy.

[@RaevenKS]

I just want to know where do the last challenger got his messer. It looks. Amazing.

[@TheIrishWill]

I thiiiiink it might of been a company called Battle Ready! I don't know for sure though.

[@danielrooke1404]

ahhh man id love to go, doing all the cool event's and meeting amazing people like your self, keep up the good work.

[@TheIrishWill]

I highly recommend you do! There's a kind of feeling I cant quite capture on film when your there!

[@24-Com]

Being charged with 2 shields, ultimate swordsman Eminack shouts "I Yield!!" Ahahaa perfect reaction

[@Shmuliksm100]

I will love to joing your group, I am from israel and I never went to Drachenfest but I in larps about three years

[@TheIrishWill]

I think we've since gotten talking but in case youre someone else entirely, send me a message on the TheIrishWill facebook page and we can talk about it!

[@Jstar95175]

The Crusader Shield at 13:05 is made so well, holy shit.

[@erictripps125]

Broken shield guy was great.

[@toyworksstudios2280]

I love these daily uploads!!

[@TheIrishWill]

Haha thanks! I think this is the first series I managed to consistently get one up every day!

[@Diamre]

Awesome video! Have a canonnier/alchemist from Black sitting next to me who was rooting for Ivan Ivanovic (if we are spelling his name right). Really cool to see the regular updates, already looking forward to next year.

[@TheIrishWill]

Ah thanks so much!!! Haha me too! Im hoping to do a few more prep videos before next year too!

[@AngaMesh13]

Great video! Next year I wager either Sir Thomas or Crunch the barbarian will win the GOLD Tournament.

[@RikaHikara]

As a referee it is always nice to watch all the videos. I miss all the happenings in the camps but won't trade it for what I am doing now.

[@TheIrishWill]

Ah Im glad you enjoyed them! Hopefully you get to take part more in future!!

[@LairOfKraderoth]

That attack at 7:36, wow.

[@Whereisvultureboy]

This is so cool. Def makes me want to try this out

[@roboroy4804]

Are kicks to the shield and grabing into the weaponarm allowed?

[@captainmorgan7353]

Awesome video Will !! 😀

[@TheIrishWill]

Ah thanks!!!

[@imsweatykarntt1440]

Great episode, keep it up!

[@TheIrishWill]

Thank you!! :D

[@ignacnafta3215]

Imagine any HEMA, kenjutsu or any other historical martial arts practicioner in this duel. Corpses, so many corpses

[@spicketspaghet7773]

God I want to try one of these so bad. Though, it'd be harder nowadays to find one where they don't do any HEMA at all. Many groups are bridging into the "real deal" quite a bit. Still. I couldn't resist just seeing what would happen. I've only studied Fiore at my HEMA club for a good 6 months, but man....

[@NoHsHad0]

as a practicioner of kendo i am in pain watching this video

[@craigholman4365]

Not gonna lie, (as a long time Ren faire as well as an SCA member}, but.... how are the after parties?... this looks like great fun! Viva la Foam!

[@wiseguy497]

Are you not entertained?!

[@v45cuyr]

Wiseguy497 noooooooooo!!! This is epic

[@erictripps125]

Think you will be running this new player group in 2021?

[@theraven5850]

Is this in Ireland? I will buy a friggen plane ticket just to go to wherever this is and compete. I might not do well, but damn would it be fun just to experience it all and take it all in. Also, the Larping from an acting standpoint is amazing too; I love that they each are fighting fair and taking the honour system into account.

[@theraven5850]

@TheIrishWill I find it funny that you get annoyed that people are subscribing to you for your larping videos when these are some of the BEST videos on KZbin, if not the best. Like honestly, why not crush this niche? You're great at delivering Larping content that makes the entire sport look really friggen cool. Keep at it. :-) Also, you could always attend more larps or make your own; I'd watch and upvote any larp vids you did.

[@2EnjoyEverything]

can somebody tell me if there is a real fighting mc-arena at the drachenfest?

[@jmaebm1262]

Hi remenber the rogue of sergio in Italy. Epic roleplay .

[@jessecuster9073]

Hi, I am from the Black camp and I would like to get in contact with the Morning dawn group.

[@TheOriginalKrell]

Yo, morning star member here

[@tharleschornburg9175]

Anyone know what those are made from? Are they foam or rubber?

[@ramanathansabesh8862]

Ohhh I so badly wanna do this but I’m too young

[@Nimgaled]

That looked so awesome!

[@TheIrishWill]

Thanks!! :D

[@jmaebm1262]

I think about fulcrum of boy scout activiti.

[@tomrhue4975]

Will you be on the Drachenfest this year again?

[@davidkeith1968]

Hey I will be in the Golden Camp this year and want to know at which day the tournament will be this year?

[@jessepetronas9120]

I'm trying so hard to like this and I completely respect the passion involved power to you all but it's just so funny. I really think with the effort put into making simulation weapons and armour more attention should be paid to skill and mastering you preferred style and playing a point/ KO based win system. With champions and contenders and and all sorts of fighters with different weapons. Would be a interesting championship

[@Memorixt]

What a bunch of nerds!😂 Was great fun to watch, I suppose even more to do this.🙂👊

[@cosplayiscrazy7049]

i want to ask, its LArping ? or Theatrical Fighting ?

[@RoyalerSchnauzer]

Ist Drachenfest. There is no high Larp quality

[@captainchaos5661]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

[@colelamb5038]

Love the video!

[@Abensberg]

looks like a lot of fun :P

[@jmaebm1262]

Think it the malllory of Red McGregory. Red bears

[@Veyoun]

Darn that's so good :) Makes me wanna jump right in as well hehe ^^ Can't wait for next years Drachenfest Also... you start your own Group ? Mind giving some informations as soon as you got some? Would love to know more about this ! ^^

[@TheIrishWill]

Haha thanks! I think doing the tournament this way is so much better than scoring points! Yup! Sure shoot me a message on the TheIrishWill Facebook page and I can fill you in on it best I can!

[@ryandelong6663]

Why does he look like I seen him in a movie

[@albertschambach8522]

Super wired flourishs. I don't understand why they can't fight a bit more realistic. It won't make it look boring but it's gonna make the whole fight more intense..

[@carldanescd]

Nice film man...but actual combar too theatrical for me...bit pantomime

[@-ChampionOfDeath-]

dope

[@tysmith7839]

the red head at 7:25 😍

[@enzo7484]

Simp

[@johnbarr7215]

This was fucking AWESOME!!! God damn this was good haha

[@code1997]

FOR GOLD!!!!!!

[@NoHsHad0]

you can really tell that a lot of the people have 0 skill in actually using their weapon

[@theinquisitor8112]

Ah, if only I weren't broke.

[@bigtrout1536]

1:23 if it’s so hot then why are you wearing a beanie? Lol

[@aidantimmonsDreamOfSahul]

y33t

[@TheIrishWill]

Indeed!

[@MalonzeProductionsGaming]

See what i like is that you guys act as i there is weight to the weapons... Here in Florida we have WOTS (way of the sword) Its just the combat with foam swords, no larping. so you have people swinging as fast as they can, base ball swinging, and other things that are not as immersive but also not safe.. Full of assholes too. Got baseball swung right at the neck. dude told me "you should have blocked" instead of asking if i was ok while choking. I would have rather played you these guys.

[@__RDDR__]

Schade nur, dass Neulinge beim Drachenfest ausgegrenzt werden. Die Community ist extrem überheblich und abweisend geworden

[@Maltetren]

That woman with the double bladed axe was not the best
