Detailed Summary
The video features the draft process for the Polaris Civil War, a gaming tournament where the Polaris network is split into two factions: House Biscuit, led by TotalBiscuit, and the Angry Army, led by Angry Joe. The event is moderated by the Commissioner, who outlines the rules: 26 channels will be drafted, and over the next three months, the teams will compete in seven different video games. To ensure a variety of players are used, each captain can only field a specific player twice throughout the entire tournament. Points are awarded based on performance in each match, leading to a final seventh game to determine the ultimate winner. The draft begins after a Twitter poll grants TotalBiscuit the first pick. TotalBiscuit starts by selecting Cry, a trusted former teammate. In response, Angry Joe picks Kraken, noting his past success in battle royale tournaments and his ability to boost team morale. The rivalry between the two captains is played up for comedic effect, with both using elaborate introductions and mock-aggressive language. As the draft progresses, TotalBiscuit focuses on 'hardcore' grinders and specialists, drafting Stripping and Octopimp. Angry Joe focuses on personalities and friends, picking Dodger and Crendor. The draft includes several humorous segments where the chosen players are brought onto the line via Skype, often resulting in comedic banter about their specific gaming niches, such as Octopimp's affinity for fighting games or Deadlox MC's Minecraft background. TotalBiscuit continues to build a strategic roster by picking Sips and ImmortalHD, the latter of whom is described as a 'berserker' due to his Counter-Strike background. Angry Joe attempts to draft UberHaxorNova, but Nova refuses to join, claiming the event is beneath him. Joe eventually settles on Deadlox MC and Bed to round out his team. The video concludes with the Commissioner reviewing the team boards. He observes that TotalBiscuit's strategy seems aimed at a decisive, crushing victory with a highly skilled roster, while Angry Joe's strategy is more focused on camaraderie and a group of people he enjoys playing with, regardless of their skill level. The segment ends with a promotional message for Full Sail University.
