Also, it was a HUGE breakthrough as far as media coverage of a video game tournament. Sort of the first "Holy shit, this might go somewhere" moment for competition-level gaming. Too bad for the following decade.
cooler in 2005 beating in the final the unquestionable favourite CZM? Especially after merely passing through the group stages with pale performance and CZM owning everyone with easy up until then.
I don't know why everyone in this community wants to be someone else. They try to change themselves into something they are not, and they try to change video games into something video games are not. Does everyone here (other than moi, of course), have self-esteem issues?
I got the impression that its not about being someone that person, but rather wanting to have accomplished what they accomplished.
It's really just showing respect of these various feats and the accomplishments themselves as I see it. Thats why I voted anyways. I dont want to BE Thresh, but rather, I'm a bit jelous of the accomplishment itself.
The poll just asks 'who would you rather be?' Not because you want to actually BE that person, but who's win would've been the best experience in your opinion.
TGI tournament was held at IT Palace in Sweden on April 3rd & 4th, 1999. It was the first Quakeworld tournament to invite 10 players from around the world. Oskar "Lakerman" Ljungström from Sweden beat Benjamin "Kane" Reichert from Germany by 1 frag to win the tournament. The TGI would go down in Quake history as the best (and most exciting) Quakeworld tournament and possibly the best gaming tournament ever held.
also TGI spawned the legend of Reload (who was undefeated @ dm2) and constant flaming thereafter on CHTV about his skills
PS: add to the poll Female Quake player Stevie "Killcreek" Case appears sans clothes in Playboy on May 11th, 2000 ^___^
Some obvious option are missing, the obvious one being Toxjq. I suppose it's because you dislike him. You can add vo0 and Prozac for sure, fox, rocketboy, zero4, blue and so on.
You forgot too an option : anyone of them, just me.
