    That's Crispy and Pascual there too, I had the stream open in another tab until I heard some familiar voices being interviewed.

    Hah! Anyone have a link to the actual segment? Time at least?

    I caught a shot of Brad in the audience during the all-star match around 11 minutes in.

    Wow, those last 3 games were quick. Kind of weird. I started watching and just shrugged my shoulders and started doing other stuff while this game was going.

    Just heard it in the background shouting GG. Fast and disappointing for a finals.

    This was my easily favourite moment of TI4. We just got to our seats when Kaci casually walked up and asked to talk to us. I actually got pretty nervous but didn't completely crumble.

    Obviously after all this time covering TI's she can sniff out true Dota talent even when it's trying to be all incognito, for interview purposes.

    You know that Bombcast email where a guy who has never seen the GB staff describes how he imagined them? I wish I had done that before I knew what the Daily Dota crew looked like, because it would've been hilariously wrong.

    Well, I knew what Kessler looked like.

    Seeing Kessler mentioned on these forums again like this is reminding me of that one time he did the Fear Gauntlet with Steve Ramirez... and that other time they made them play Farmville.

    It's crazy to think that duder was an intern at GB and helped make this super awesome (and dumb) series: The Fear Gauntlet

    EDIT: @equitasinvictus You beat me by a minute. Great minds think alike.

    @matt: More of a shaggier haircut, thicker beard (or just long sideburns), maybe a little overweight? By which I mean you look like you're in OK shape. I'm realizing I kinda pictured you like a UK version of Ian Kelly. Also I saw you when I briefly watched the charity stream this year, so technically this particular picture was not the reveal. Ditto for Kessler and Fobwashed, whose appearance is kinda known.

    But oh man, Crispy. Had that all wrong. Assumed he was white by default, because apparently I'm secret-racist. Figured him for a pretty tall, very slim dude. Light hair, shaved quite short.

    Would GB users know the guy in the middle of the picture from a Daily Dota, or is he a friend of somebody's?

    The dude in the middle is Mark, our friend (and Brad's old college roommate).

    Also, hearing my own echo (on a half-second delay) while talking totally threw me off.

    Yeah, I always assumed Crispy was Caucasian from the avatar he uses from the Daily Dota image.
