>not even barbarian rage was enough to beat Frogs

HYPE

Apart from the Finn, any others here are doing this a as a hobby?

Groups

Nobody has gotten serious, permanent injuries.

What are you ?

Thx :c

Schedules

Sorry lad, I already had posted the thread by the time I saw your post.

>CAUSE THIS IS MY UNITED DUCHIES OF WHATEVER

Meh, who needs the headbutt filmed anyway.

Perhaps this will be the year

Did the commentators die?

Properly made armor apparently do its job.

They are basically wearing 3 layers of armor, so the only real injuries that can occur is flaws in armor.

>tfw went from semi-main eventers to midcarders

~5 minute break now

Can noone stop the frog menace?

Ukraine did and Russia certainly will.

>Turkey

What time does it start?

EMPIRE WILL RISE

EMPIRE WILL RISE

EMPIRE IS GONNA RISE AGAIN

>fag on the sidelines with tumblr hair

Big German guy just got smashed.

>german fighters
>that flag and colors
Literally, what?

I thought I'd have deleted it by now but since I haven't here's a collection of BoN webm's I gathered last year

mega.nz/#F!asVwiTLT!Y8LrpQkF6jwsAGoWTx6Z6A

Based Aus made a lot of these

>Big German guy
fur dich

>3:30 or 4:30 AM my time

Sheeit.

Hopefully nothing too interesting happens for the first 5 hours or so.

We're not really in position to complain flying Romanov colors.

Does Ebinland participates, this year?

I know its >Germany but >we are actually looking pretty good this year

Are larger shields not allowed or people just don't use them because they're easier to hook and grab?

>the numbers are Dwayneing

What did he mean by this

Spain just got ANNEX'D

smaller shields are lighter, handier and also more effective at bashing

Small shields are more agile and better for kicking etc. I guess tower shields might be banned.

Yesh!

It'll go on till like 9 pm their time, ss don't worry too much.

GOOD

What about Bestonia and other baltic countries?

God bless.

Nope, no Baldicks this year I belive. Finland has 2 teams though so that sort of makes up for it. Also we have China, as a new country. So that's kinda cool.

Has China fought anyone so far? If yes, how did they do?

MEDICO

ERA PENAL?

>it's been a year already

it feels like yesterday when that one finn practically crippled an argie

Nope, they'll be in the 5v5s tomorrow. I think Turkey and Brazil are also new.

Time for dinner see you hopefully tomorrow

Well looks like I'll be missing most of the 5v5s, but at least I'll get to see the dools.

>Over until tomorrow

n..no ;_;

It's ogre for today. Check for tomorrow's schedule.

That's a shame because 5v5 is literally best

>that spanish guy in naked brigandine
Is this common, are helmets standarized?

Well, the fight is over. Now it's vodka time.

France is really good, this year

(or maybe the others are really bad)

Helmets are mandatory yeah, if that's what you meant.

Well, the fight is over. Now is tracksuit time.

...

I meant the models. Like Spain not having the middle ridge of a morion anywhere.

How much golds russia already have?

Oh not really. All just have to follow the rules detailing how they're designed etc.

Checked out their website and apparently Sweden doesn't have a team. Guess I'll be rooting for Denmark and Finland instead

No

>tfw no legit medieval-like tournaments with sharp weapons and jousting

Do they wear their own cultural armors?

I hope they will have fun this night with booze and cooked piggos.

...

Spaniards were having a good time there. Also 4eye cutie.

THE NOSE

>Day 3
>Women's events

Oh boy this takes >WMMA to a whole new level.

>No
Why not?

Sometimes but not always. Also some countries (Argentina, USA, Mexico, Canada, China, Brazil etc.) wouldn't be able to wear such armours for obvious reasons.

Weird how Australia and fucking New Zealand have team(s) but not Sweden.

Even Luxembourg has a team, that's ridiculous

What? She has a nice nose!

They would take Somali fighters, anyway

You'd think something like this would be popular in Sweden. Especially since we host a HEMA event each year.

Because vodka, vodka über alles. All the rest is not so important. I bet you've never drunk vodka at night near the bonfire.

The inquisition was imperfect.

>ywn get brugge'd by the bruggeman

There are Swedish fighters but what I've understood is that there are some legal issues with the sport and swedes can't get insurance for this.

They do attend to IMCF but I guess they think it's safer due to a lack of russians.

Cool

imagine her sweaty asscheeks and wet cunt

I've drank rum, whiskey, and moonshine next to a bonfire. The only vodka I get is cheap plastic bottle vodka.

So sad. Moreover it's dangerous to drink alcohol from a plastic container.

>you will never fug a girl who can easily kill you

>I guess they think it's safer due to a lack of russians.

Probably, i did watch a russian kick a guy who was leaning against the list in the back last year. So if you have to chose between two events i guess it's better to chose the one with less risk of injury and higher chance of winning.

>the concorde used is from british airways

JUSTE

>you will never fug a girl

imagine if someone with money actually spent the time and resources and got some sort of tv contract for this? would be ebin.

...

...

The majority of my alcohol comes from plastic bottles

Koskenkorva and Viru Valge

I don't think it's low quality, just budget priced

>I don't think it's low quality
Perhaps, it's not, but plastic gradually being dissolved by alcohol and releases harmful substances.

>Perhaps, it's not, but plastic gradually being dissolved by alcohol and releases harmful substances.
this
>friend brings some good bimber (moonshine)
>pours into plastic cup
>it literally dissolves and starts leaking

>tfw work tomorrow so won't be able to watch

Is there a round compilations afterwards?

>gradually

heh a liter bottle barely lasts a day so no worries
