  • The origin of Etho's nickname: Ladders. It came from a CTM playthrough with Team Canada. This took an embarrasingly long time to find, enjoy!
    ...so ‪@bdoubleo‬ can also join in on the joke.

    I think it’s actually even older than this. He was pretty infamous on MindCrack as well for always having some ladders on him and stringing them across the world and his bases way back when you could place them with gaps and they would still function.
    I think it was MindCrack season 2, there was a massive “king of the ladder” event in the colosseum someone built when I first remember someone bringing it up but I was VERY young and MindCrack was so long ago I’m not quite sure exactly

    • @ContentNot
      @ContentNot  ปีที่แล้ว +101

      A lot of people think thats where it started, but that is just a well known moment where Etho is part of a ladder related thing. This is the main reason i felt like making this video and go digging for the clip. I just *knew* it came from a Team Canada moment.

    • @_sadghost
      @_sadghost 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      It was MindCrack season 3, but for some reason when people are talking about Etho I always see people calling it season 1(It was Etho's first time on a MindCrack server, so it makes sense). Episode 10 is called "King of the Ladder" like you said. Nebris punching Etho off a ladder to (almost) build height started a game between like, six people to become King of the Ladder.

I'm Ladders, I go up and I go down" but it seems it was a little bit different. Heh, memories.
