Bush wins its first award, DandroCasts named Caster of the Year
Telluride Bush Gaming picked up its first outside award — Caster of the Year for DandroCasts — the same week it put out an Owner's Meeting episode with guest DashySZN.
A first award, and a claimed snub
Massive W to @DandroCasts for taking home Caster of The Year (clean shot at jaze at end of speech) 🌳🏆
The account announced the org's first outside award this week: "Our 1st Award! Thank you @ChallengerStats & all of the #unshaven that voted," it posted. The honor went to caster DandroCasts, who took Caster of the Year — the account framed the win as pointed, posting "Massive W to @DandroCasts for taking home Caster of The Year (clean shot at jaze at end of speech)" alongside a clip of the moment.
A second individual honor followed from the same ceremony: Abe was named Favorite Bush Player of the Year, thanking fan Hannah Montoya in his speech, per the account, with a joke tacked on about barber recommendations for owner Jersey Jerry. The account also raised its own question about the results, posting "Was @NickyNumbers194 snubbed??" — treating the fan-voted awards as something with stakes rather than a one-off gag.
Owner's Meeting 51, with DashySZN
Full episode out now on all platforms 🌳 Topics: CS, mw4, offseason, ga group chat, gamesir, playing with Merc, playing with Byron and temp, + retirement talk YT - t.co/PdthKSsCkz Apple - t.co/pnr7gyYdq0 Spotify - t.co/CaF9fuxsYM
The account's Owner's Meeting series returned with episode 51, featuring DashySZN. The full release described a wide-ranging conversation — "Topics: CS, mw4, offseason, ga group chat, gamesir, playing with Merc, playing with Byron and temp, + retirement talk," the account posted, pointing listeners to YouTube, Apple and Spotify.
Several clips followed the drop. One has Dashy discussing champs and, per the caption, "his 1st teammate ever being @Temp." Another has him describing what it's like to be Merc's "setup neighbor," and a third has him detailing "how scared everyone is in the GA group chat." A separate clip, captioned "CS Holes are VERY real," and another quoting Dashy ("I tried to go outside & I got so bored") and Lil Sas ("Anytime I'm away from my desk I'm just pissed") on being away from their desks rounded out the release.
Jerry's own angle on the same episode
New Owners Meeting Out Now W/ @DashySZN t.co/sQ4EEuJaw0
Owner Jersey Jerry posted his own announcement of the episode — "New Owners Meeting Out Now W/ @DashySZN" — pushing the same release out to his own following separately from the main account.
Jerry also posted a clip captioned "Bully Hours," without further detail on its subject in the caption itself.
Outlook
This is a week built almost entirely out of posts, which is expected with the org between competitive events — but the combination of an outside award and a full guest episode is a heavier week than most. The account's own "snub" post about the awards suggests it is treating the fan vote as something worth defending, not just promoting.
None of it touches the roster, still 2 of 4 seats filled, and none of it points at Call of Duty itself — no scrims, no beta notes, nothing about the two open seats. For an org sitting out an offseason with those seats unfilled, the safer read is that the Owner's Meeting series and the awards attention are carrying the account for now, while the actual roster question sits untouched.
