too bad that no russians shows up, it would have been great to watch a rematch between killmaster vs cypher, but it can (for us swedes and maybe a couple of the rest of you) be a great rematch between fooKi vs fox, looking forward to it if they meet.

top 5:

1. fox
2. cypher
3. fooki
4. rapha
5. k1llsen

..."Zero4", "czm"....not a "Chance" :/

By

lolograde - Reply to #59

This might be a stretch, but I dunno if it's possible to say that. We don't get many chances to see US players play against EU players with fair pings. Because there's so fewer US players than EU players, US players are often more inclined to play on EU servers.

Furthermore, another comparison I think of is when everyone thought the Lakers were going to roll over the Pistons in 2006 because all Pistons (and most of eastcoast ball teams) had such low scoring games all season. Well, turns out East coast players just play much more defensive games.

You can never tell until you see them directly compete to see what they're capable of.

But I, for the most part, agree with you.

Carillo - Reply to #89

That basketball analogy made perfect sense, until top-dogs share the same arena, ground and not just 1 tournament but 5-10 you can actually rate them against each other. Naturally I am a believer in EU players and also a little in Rapha, but that's pretty much about it.

Hell, while I'm at it I'll show how much or little I know about today's 1v1-scene and let you guys impress me with some good old esr-flaming:
In no particular order I'm expecting to see k1llsen (because they say so!), av3k (because I say so!), cypher, rapha, jibo, fox and fooki share the top spots, but am not ruling out prozac-factor that every once in a while upsets some heavy gamblers :)

<< Comment #115 @ 04:56 CDT, 26 June 2008 >>

Lethe - Reply to #89

i find the basketball analogy strange, cause its not just the playstyle that differs. its simply the amount of skill. i said "czm aside" cause when you look at the recent years of quake, he is the only one who stood a chance vs the best euros (zero4 stopped playing since 2k4), and the best us players of today are not "the best" simply because they are more skilled than those before (and they are probably not even close to czm) but because the us top3 (czm,z4,soc or someone else) either stopped playing, or they are not active.

im not sure czm will win this unless he puts a *lot* of practice into it. quake is different today than it was when he won cpl.

especially different for poor z4, and hes really trying to adapt =(

new players on the list:
-Arrw (!)
-Slx
-Ddk
-Donjing
-Draven
-Noctis
-Vo0
-Griffin

players out:
-Cooller
-Fazz
-If-22
-Rocketboy
-Sombra

Some great & exciting additions I think. Yes yes no cooller, that's really sad, but we'll see him in the finals and at GameGune. C'mon guys, just look at that list!! This comes close to the impressive ESWC '03 list (trivia: only zero4 & prozac from this list played the memorable '03 'Hall of fame' tournament). But this time it's even more exciting imo, with the mix of old- & newschoolers. Let's all hope for an excellent coverage, but knowing ESWC, they won't fail us! Long live q3!

Fox was at ESWC 2003 aswell
So Fox is the only player who attended every ESWC which had or has Quake 3
Given the fact Cooller attends the ESWC finals in San Jose, he will be the only fps gamer who appeared on every ESWC from 2003 to now (fox didnt appear in 2006 and 2007 when they played quake 4 lulz)

ESWC 2003 takes that cake, now and most likely forever:

Cooller, Zero4, LeXeR, Fazz, Fox, Socrates, Akiles, Z4muz, Rocketboy, Daler, Python, death, Cha0ticz, Ph4ntom, If-22, StGermain, Dreg, Blokey, Reef, Prozac.

All at the top of their game.

I think top3 will be: fox,czm and Cypher

players who can win 3-6 places: noctis,ArrW,k1llsen,av3k,fooki,unity,jibo

players in which believe a lot of fans,but i think they havnt chance in top6:
zero4,rapha,prozac,chance.

It`s IMHO :)

Noctis however is a very good player and can easily make it.

I think jibo is way underrated. We saw him perform 'poorly' on the russian events yes, but I'm quite sure he'll be there when it counts. For me he & linkin are the dark horses =)

Used to be, at least in my eyes, but in some recent-ish tournament or whatever it was, he was quite consistent as opposed to half a dozen one map wonders and he eventually beat cooller on nodm9 for final spot, am I right?

Edit: Ok, I fail, cooller actually won nodm9 but zhibo took the other two maps and went his way to lose 1st prize to czm.

The map selection format is going to be interesting. E.g. Z4 wont be able to have instant wins on pt4 and czm wont have hub. Obviously, format favours all-rounders.

I hope noctis is brave enough not to eliminate hub if he faces czm. Do it for the fans :)

Impossible to predict, there's so much talent in this tournament. But I'll make a list anyways :P

1. cypher
2. czm
3. fox
4. jibo
5. fooki

As far as I've understood, Master's is kind of like teaser to q3 1v1, invite veterans and let them sort each others out, while into grand finals in SJ you actually have to qualify. Yes, cooller skips Master's cos he already has ticket to SJ.
