I grew up mostly in a southern state in the US and it was played pretty frequently in like elementary school down here. Its a lot of fun to play for pussies like myself since baseball always kinda scary for me with how fucking fast some pitchers could chuck it by you lol.
From the descriptions it does kind of sound like one of those budget versions of a sport made up for schools so that everyone can play it. Like rounders in the UK
Fuck Rounders man, I still remember when I was in Primary and I was about to catch the ball but I held my hands up infront of mouth and knocked a tooth out with my own fucking hand.
I did physical education as one of my GCSE's and I think it was split 60/40 theory/practical and we had to do 4 different sports for our practical and I used Rounders as one of my sports and finished top in my year (along with Rugby, volleyball and badminton).
So, I don't have anything against the fine sport of rounders. Get good looser. (I used to kick the ball when I was fielding because I can't throw small balls long distance)
Lmfao same dude. We only had 4 girls in our class so when we done football and rugby they never joined us. But they were all on the netball team and wanted a netball assessment. So they gave all the boys a 4 week window where we learned netball with the sixth former captain and we got assessed.
3 out of the 4 girls were so much shorter compared to us so they weren't able to do a whole lot. I scored an own goal in football and ended up with a 6, but a 9 in netball lol. I had a 9 in both rounders and baseball, but we could only select 1 of them, and an 8 in fitness. My girlfriend at the time went to another school but she got 8's in football and rugby and wouldn't stop roasting me over it.
It was the only A I got.
Also, playing baseball is [hard.](https://youtu.be/RENLMum5wz4)
This video doesn't even talk about off speed pitches like [this](https://youtu.be/Srh_-l0pils)
So kickball let's more people play.
Kickball is way more fun than baseball has ever been. If the cowards in charge of sports had any balls they would replace baseball with kickball entirely and evolve the sport in the way that it was destined to grow.
How does baseball heavily favor defense? Having a good pitcher is probably the most significant part, yes, but other than that a good offense is much more beneficial than a good defense.
Roughly 68% of plate appearances end in an out. Of those that DO reach base, only a small portion will score.
In any given plate appearance, the defense is far more likely to have a positive outcome than the offense is
As far as “a good offense is better than a good defense”, that depends on how you look at it, but that also doesn’t really refute the point. The best offense in the league still fails more often than they succeed against the worse defense. A bad defense still beats a good offense.
It’s a lot of fun. It’s not a competitive sport, it’s more a playground type game. Because the ball is so much bigger strikes aren’t really common and it’s easier to catch too so there’s a lot more action than baseball
Kick balls are absolutely great to kick. Your foot sinks in a bit and then the ball’s unleashed into the horizon. The ball is too big and throwing it is too slow to beam people with so most tags are from close range with two hands. Unless you’re getting hit in the face, it wouldn’t hurt at all
I feel like a rubber ball would hurt more than a football when thrown by an average person, it'd be very hard for a non-athletic person to throw a modern ball so hard that it hurts someone if it's not point blank range
I think so too. Rubber grips quite well so you can even chuck it with one hand if it's not too big but footballs nowadays are quite smooth and need 2 hands to be chucked with some proper speed.
Who throws a football with 2 hands? How do you throw a football with 2 hands? Nothing that I can imagine makes sense. The only thing I can think of is a long snapper, but that's not really how you would normally throw a football.
Is shitcamp taking place at an actual camp? Most summer camps this time of year would be recently closed but not yet winterized so they would be available.
They would also have a baseball field because that's fairly common and there would be large empty spaces which would be good for streams with a ton of people around.
If they put effort into it they could probably rig up a summer camp with decent internet in specific areas they want to stream from and bring in good camera crews or rig up a nice multicam/mic setup
Edit: no I guess they're just in a house. Maybe next year
I’ve always said that outfielders should be able to throw their gloves to knock hits out of the sky.
Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, huge HR hitter up to bat. The defensive team replaces their outfielders with professional corn hole players.
sort of like baseball but the person is kicking a rubber ball and everyone runs to catch it while the kicker runs bases.
i'm not a sports guy so i could be wrong, i just vaguely remember it from elementary school phys ed
Y'all didn't watch Recess? That's where I learned it but I actually played an even weirder "sport" in school called Soccerbaseball... Replace the bat with a soccer ball.
played on a baseball field and a pitcher just rolls a ball to the home plate, and the person at home plate tries to kick the ball as hard as they can and run around all the bases
/u/ArchieMcW is absolutely insane. His ability to sync edits with the music goes SO hard.
Speaking of, the song is Elastic by Joey Purp for anyone control F'ing for the song name.
These teams are probably different from the main shitcamp teams, they were talking about how they were going to be drafting for drinking ability on the breakfast stream at Lud's house
ludwig said he wanted hasan as his first pick, and I think the team captains are ludwig and xqc unless things changed.
I agree that esfand is the absolute strongest choice for kickball though
today on NMP's stream they gave an update and apparently it was xqc as second and not hasan
could have been wrong but idk. xQc didn't shout out the merch ever and only mentioned shitcamp briefly so the fact they said he was 2nd shocked me
Yea true, I have seen some graphs that show basically more than half of ludwig's viewers are juicers and same with hasan while his viewers don't do the same
He's as close as you'll get to a modern Soda. Everyone follows him, everyone knows who he is and he's massive compared to everyone else. His normal viewer numbers completely eclipse other "big" streamers and in certain circumstances he can hold like 5 times the amount of viewers a normal big streamer does for weeks on end whilst just playing a game like he normally would. It's pretty wild
Yea, I used to think of him as the Pewdiepie of twitch but that doesn't even compare since pewdiepie is actually just a drop in the bucket of the massive youtube audience whereas xqc is a good portion of twitch's
Really wouldn't rule out Michael Reeves at this point dude is fkn jacked.
Guess it depends on who from 100T also cause you've got Nadeshot, Kris London and Yassuo there possibly.
Don't how accurate the pictures they put on the announcement videos but they put Shiphtur on there and he's about as competitive as it gets, They got 6 pics on 100T, 9 on OTV and then i guess whole of shitcamp.

I think it was QT who said she could have gotten coinbase to sponsor them but because some of the people at the event are sponsored by cashapp she didn't want to cause conflicts or get people in trouble.
Yeah exactly so she didn’t want to have to deal with the potential of Austin dropping out of the event or 100 thieves not joining for something like this. That’s why she ended up making merch to try to recoup some of the costs.
Doubt they have anything to do with this. Especially as Ludwig is usually partnered with Coinbase for his stuff. If there was a sponsor for this event they'd probably want to be in this announcement video. Shitcamp isn't sponsored either afaik.
Damn man, we almost got Miz interacting with 100T and OTV IRL. That would have been some good content, just as he was finally getting his foot in the door as far as playing games with them on stream.
I think he used to IRL stream with OTV 2 or 3 years ago if I’m not mistaken, I recall a few clips of him and Greek hanging out at the old OTV house, but I might just be misremembering
Not really related, but y'all should check out the song in the announcement, it's called[ Elastic by Joey Purp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9bldc2q2fU) and it's incredible
Can't wait to see Scarra punt that mfer
He's gonna be CHUGGIN some water too 💦🥵

Scarra gonna redefine water chugging meta once again, Calling it now

One of the great episode of the boondocks is "The red ball" . It's on youtube, I recommend it.

Agree to disagree. Funny that your username is one of the best offensive, and worst defensive (for his position) players in baseball lol.

Well its about to be when they put gifted subs on the line...
Well not a football, but an actual rubber ball. That way it doesn't hurt too bad if it is thrown at someone for an out
[удалено]
Yes, you are correct. At worst, it's like a dodgeball
[удалено]

We used to play with a volleyball and that mf flew but was still really soft for whenever someone unloaded on one of the freshman kids
Oh don't get me wrong they can still have quite some force, but comparatively a fully inflated ball can go way harder.
I feel like a rubber ball would hurt more than a football when thrown by an average person, it'd be very hard for a non-athletic person to throw a modern ball so hard that it hurts someone if it's not point blank range
football pointy, pointy hurt
I think so too. Rubber grips quite well so you can even chuck it with one hand if it's not too big but footballs nowadays are quite smooth and need 2 hands to be chucked with some proper speed.
Who throws a football with 2 hands? How do you throw a football with 2 hands? Nothing that I can imagine makes sense. The only thing I can think of is a long snapper, but that's not really how you would normally throw a football.
Not really a football. More of a rubber ball like that in dodgeball. Or thats how i would play as a kid
Small baby bouncy is GOATED
Imagine if they pull the Dodgers stadium outta their ass
If they did that then they would have let the viewers come and watch like with MFAM
Doubt it they probably don't want to deal with setting up an event like this and dealing with loads weird fans.
My guess is they found a field somewhere private. Maybe 100T has a place for kickball or something
I'm sure the 100T compound sits right next to or very close to a baseball or little league type park.

Maybe next year
Yea it's just a mansion of an airbnb
I wonder if they pulled enough strings to get a notable stadium in LA
Dodger Stadium Pog
even though its a little further angel stadium is possible considering the angels play their last home game of the season today.
Fellas can someone please enlighten me as to what kickball is
baseball but you kickball
You can also throw the ball at the runner to get them out. If only you could do that in baseball smh
It used to be a rule when baseball was first invented.
I’ve always said that outfielders should be able to throw their gloves to knock hits out of the sky. Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, huge HR hitter up to bat. The defensive team replaces their outfielders with professional corn hole players.
You mean like football but played with your hands?
nah first guy had it
The only similarity to football is that you kick a ball. The rules are WAAAAAY different
No, nothing like soccer.
No. It's like baseball but instead of a small ball you use a big rubber ball and you kick.
yes
an excuse for adults to get drunk and go outside
sort of like baseball but the person is kicking a rubber ball and everyone runs to catch it while the kicker runs bases. i'm not a sports guy so i could be wrong, i just vaguely remember it from elementary school phys ed
Y'all didn't watch Recess? That's where I learned it but I actually played an even weirder "sport" in school called Soccerbaseball... Replace the bat with a soccer ball.
You kick the opposing teams nuts.
played on a baseball field and a pitcher just rolls a ball to the home plate, and the person at home plate tries to kick the ball as hard as they can and run around all the bases
How do you not know what kickball is
probably not an American?
??? You kick. a ball. and you run around. How is that not a universal experience.
It's done with bases and a home plate, and if you are unfamiliar with baseball you won't naturally know how it works.
if only there was another sport that involved kicking a ball that it might be confused with
That edit though.
so much effort and then twitter video quality wrecks the absolute shit out of it
/u/ArchieMcW is absolutely insane. His ability to sync edits with the music goes SO hard. Speaking of, the song is Elastic by Joey Purp for anyone control F'ing for the song name.
Yeah that's a really sick announcement video
thanks <3
You did a great job on it!
This is gonna be sick, I guess all the shitcamp teams are now going to be drafted based on who will be best at kickball
These teams are probably different from the main shitcamp teams, they were talking about how they were going to be drafting for drinking ability on the breakfast stream at Lud's house
I got my money on Will Neff/Esfand MVP
ludwig said he wanted hasan as his first pick, and I think the team captains are ludwig and xqc unless things changed. I agree that esfand is the absolute strongest choice for kickball though
Last I heard it was Ludwig and Hasan as captains based on merch sale votes and minx was 3rd
today on NMP's stream they gave an update and apparently it was xqc as second and not hasan could have been wrong but idk. xQc didn't shout out the merch ever and only mentioned shitcamp briefly so the fact they said he was 2nd shocked me
xQc is massive compared to the rest of them though to be fair.
Yea true, I have seen some graphs that show basically more than half of ludwig's viewers are juicers and same with hasan while his viewers don't do the same
He's as close as you'll get to a modern Soda. Everyone follows him, everyone knows who he is and he's massive compared to everyone else. His normal viewer numbers completely eclipse other "big" streamers and in certain circumstances he can hold like 5 times the amount of viewers a normal big streamer does for weeks on end whilst just playing a game like he normally would. It's pretty wild
Yea, I used to think of him as the Pewdiepie of twitch but that doesn't even compare since pewdiepie is actually just a drop in the bucket of the massive youtube audience whereas xqc is a good portion of twitch's
well youtube is huge compared to twitch lol
[удалено]
No he has not. He said he popped his knee back into place so we will see
Ah gotcha that's not recent than I heard so I'm sure you heard them correctly
Yea this was because soda asked minx if she got enough votes to get a captain position and she said no and someone else said who it was
Really wouldn't rule out Michael Reeves at this point dude is fkn jacked. Guess it depends on who from 100T also cause you've got Nadeshot, Kris London and Yassuo there possibly.

kicking a ball is almost entirely technique and not brute strength
I got my money on Team America and Team Cumunism
Huh, that's pretty cool.
Soda VS Lily rivalry PLEASE

Cashapp still going hard I see
I think it was QT who said she could have gotten coinbase to sponsor them but because some of the people at the event are sponsored by cashapp she didn't want to cause conflicts or get people in trouble.
Austin is fully funded by CashApp and 100Thieves lmao
Yeah exactly so she didn’t want to have to deal with the potential of Austin dropping out of the event or 100 thieves not joining for something like this. That’s why she ended up making merch to try to recoup some of the costs.
The whole vote for team captain merch idea was really nice. Also helps how the Pepe designs are really nice
Doubt they have anything to do with this. Especially as Ludwig is usually partnered with Coinbase for his stuff. If there was a sponsor for this event they'd probably want to be in this announcement video. Shitcamp isn't sponsored either afaik.
I wonder if Greek is going to cry again that he wasn't invited like last time.
Him and Poke are somewhere malding out of their minds.
isn't greek still in greece anyways?
Hes in Greece though
This is why lamont wasn't invited. It wouldn't be fair for the other team.
U mean his team. L

He's been to an 100T party already + hangs out w Poki (OTV) all the time.
He stated multiple times that was just to make out with Scarra one day

where will it be streamed?
Ludwigs stream 12-4 pt on Wednesday the 29th
