TUMULT

Cool idea but lacks of options. I would add:

- av3k kick Toxic's butt at WSVG Louisville'07
- cha0ticz railing fatal1ty in last decimal at WCG'US'02
- Cooller loosing with ni3 to dispair ZeRo4 at WCG'02
- uNkind showing most respawn digging track on ztn against akiles at WCG'02
- prozac aka princeofpersia beating crap out of bunch of pros at ESWC'03

Superman

Thresh's tournament win effectively gave him his career. He got famous (and a ferarri) because of that game.

Essentially, that win alone gave him all those millions he supposedly got from X-fire?

My vote is on him.

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.

Also cooller did pretty well in the group stages and had harder opponents than czm did.

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?

And will you vote yes to the Lisbon Treaty?

Superman - Reply to #33

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.

Luniz - Reply to #33

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.

It all just depends on how you look at it.

Aquashark

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" Ljungstr�m 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.
