CPM TDM Nationscup: Captains Interviewed (60 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by blaze @ 10:18 CST, 2 February 2009 - iMsg

Event: CPM TDM NC 09

Now that the CPM TDM Nationscup has finally started, I took some time to ask each captain their thoughts about the tournament and how they expect to perform. Here is a teaser with

Daniel "voodoochopstiks" Platt, the Swedish captain:

Underdog of your team?
Probably me because I am not that good a coach and I don't have a very strong idea about what TDM is about. I couldn't name a player, we have a consistently strong squad to field I think, as long as everyone stays happy and in good spirits.

Enjoy!

Since it's already Wednesday, it's about time to post something about the 3rd week of the Quake Nations Cup Q3 TDM! Some matches from the 1st and 2nd weeks still haven't been played, but most of them already have a date now. The sad point is that only 2 games of the 3rd week are already scheduled. Anyway, here is what you can expect shortly:

·: Thursday 29th, 15:00 CDT: Poland / Slovakia (bet)
·: Sunday 1st, 13:00 CDT: Germany / Slovenia (bet)

Unscheduled matches
- Sweden / Denmark - week2

- Russia / Croatia - week3

Zubich banned for life (217 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by Legie @ 11:32 CST, 9 January 2009 - iMsg

Event: QNC'09

A few months ago,

Sombra was found guilty of cheating in the Euro Open Cup with proofs he provided himself. This year we had to go over this kind of situation again in the Quake Nations Cup Q3 TDM. The captain of the Russian team,

Zubich, was proved guilty of cheating in the match against the Austrian team.

The whole admin team carefully checked his demos and we are now all convinced that he was using cheats. Therefor we decided to give

Austria a default win (worth 3 points) for this match. Since the Russian players (from team fall1) also watched his demos, approved of the cheating and apologized to me, I won't penalize the Russian team but only its captain,

Zubich. He is now banned from the quakequickcup.com and quake.cz tournaments. Team Russia will remain in the Nations Cup and its new captain is now

Zhibo "Jibo" Fan.

Demos

He is also added on my list of cheaters
