Hoppas allt blir till din belåtenhet :)

good luck!

goodluck fox, havent heard of this team, hope they can provide for you adequately.

we can discuss a price if you want to live in belgium fox

always wanted my own progamer in the basement <*-

And Trito? :)))

live in BELGIUM



LOL funniest idea ever :o))))))))))))))))))))))))))

wat is verkeet met dat?

what's bad about living in Belgium?

haha

its belgium

I'd rather live here than in Finland :D At least it's not freezing over here.

neither is here.

*cough* sure it's not *cough*

so you have never been in finland.

I have been to Finland *and* to Warlock's basement and I can assure you Warlock's basement is much nicer. Apparently, soon there'll be Scandinavians in Warlock's basement too and then it'll be ruined, but until then it's definitely much nicer than Finland.

I would love to live in finland...
Summer is nice
Girls are nice
Ppl are nice



But in belgium...everything is bad (sauf les frites) ;p

so you have never been in finland.

Did you ? ;p

isnt fox a little bit too old to get locked up in an belgium basement?

you mean Austrian, right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Dutroux

austrians just steal the belgiumfame lately :c

Locked in an austrian basement or buried in a belgian yard

buried in a belgian yard

this channel shut down after 7 pm, i never suceed to watch it since im still asleep at that time :/

haha :D it was AWESOME

go go fighting m7!

also, funny how the source is given to sk gaming when rakaka.se posted this over 50 hours ago :p

Well, that's where I spotted it. I don't check rakakakawhatever, but I do check sk-gaming. The l3 site has a newsitem about this also I'd guess.

fox and the Lions: sounds like some Bible story :D

>:3

nice fox !!
and btw u can live quite well in belgium, you buy a house there for 3k what cost here almost the double, the tax is very low etc.

Uhm, the last few years the real estate prices here went up twice the rate of the ones abroad. Right now it's getting kinda ridiculous as it's already hard for the highly educated people to buy something decent.

ah, well my parents got friends in belgium, dutch people who moved to there, but your a bit right yes, you gotta be welthy and got a good job to get all this.

Well it still depends on the area offcourse. Areas around Brussels and "Leuven" (where we'd like to buy something :/) are up to a few 100k euros more expensive than other places.

Also what you're talking about is people still working in holland but living right across the border because that indeed has some benefits. I can't remember what they are tho, feel free to enlighten me :)

It's cause of a diff tax system. So they basicly abuse a flaw in the system. And yeah Leuven FTW! Rich people united in Heverlee :p.

it's because there's no capital tax in Belgium. Also, the area near the Dutch border is relatively cheap to live since it's not economic heartland - you can only live there if you have a job there or no job at all - so perfect for wealthy retirees. Try buying a nice house near Brussels though and you have to compete with all the Eurocrats - gets expensive. Still, any place in Belgium or Holland is cheap compared to, say, the City in London.

i thought lowlandlions was more of a amateur clan but anyway, gl to fox

I don't think they'll mind having a top3 prospect for the next few events in their lineup!

Yeah, that's not too amateur. :)

amateur clan rofl

read: "more of a.." and don't act like everybody knows that clan

be careful of your health/weight Fox, don't eat too much "moules-frites"

Thought it was Oslo Lions like ArrW when i saw the headline. Looks good for him. Hope he does well in the weekend.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy... lion...

With or without his best friend ?

haha :,)

fox deserves the best. GL mate in your new team!

Who the hell came up with the name "lowlandlions"? Do they think it's cool?

It's Belgium. What did you expect?

"Black Sheep" isn't all that cool either tbh.

he's justa po black sheep tryin'a make it outta the ghetto

Then he better learn to play basketball or rap!!!

if theres one thing the world needs more of it's shitty music \o/

but then "black sheep" doesn't suggest that he's *trying* to sound cool. "lowlandlions" otoh is just embarassing. it's probably because all the cool clan names like, oh, say, "Cicatrix", were already taken.

=)

gonna have to do a quote here?

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAH

sounds like an african team

racist cunt

nice.
allways liked lions tag and emblem. to bad only naabs with him. hi imp:)

foxions

sk is angry cause he didnt sign up for them so they can fuck him up and not send him to eswc.

Okay, where does this come from? Has anyone in an official position with SK or anyone from their Quake-team actually said, that SK doesn't want to send them anywhere? Or is this just some "fight the power" thing?

you miss some info.

Clearly. Enlighten me.

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1561543

notice the tag besides the two americans who were signed up for it. also, fooki is missing, same team, i'm not sure is it the same reason.

I can see that they're not attending and that they're with the same team. Does that mean that SK buttfucked them or might there be another reason? I was asking for some proof that SK's intentions for their players are bad--something that everyone in here seems to know for a fact that they are.

sk refused to sponsor their trip.

you're fucking stupid

ofcourse sk refused

look at the prizemoney? look where rapha and zero4 are from... america? how on earth does sending them benefit SK in any way?

fox on the other hand is european and they would for sure of sent him, fox never intended to join SK, he had other teams in mind im sure of that, some were not looking to take on quake 3 until they see quake live develop further, others he simply turned down himself when they gave him an offer

LLL offered everything he wanted, and he has good relations with the manager from the FreePlayers organisation so that seems pretty positivet to me.

But maybe your right, he didnt want to take the risk with SK, but i can assure you, the outcome would have been different regarding gamegune anyway and therefore i can conclude you are talking rubbish and just flaming unnecessarily.

get a clue

look at the prizemoney for ANY quake tournament you fucking cripple. as if eswc has bigger prizemoney. why the hell sign quake players anyway?

ESWC is BIG, and not only can you win money but you gain entry to the finals, if someone was going to decide between GAMEGUNE and ESWC, it would be ESWC, and this... if it wasnt due to the player is exactly what happened.

do you find this hard to understand? it explains why the players are actually attending masters, travelling this distance makes zero economic sense, however going to masters does because people actually care about this event, like anyone gives a shit about gamegune in the competitive community.

do you see eu teams running off to the USA to play in random tournaments? no, did you see some eu teams running off to the USA to play CPL (yes ok it did turn out to be a joke, but it still doesnt change the point i am making) and QuakeCon? YES... ie. get a clue please.

certain high caliber teams are not signing quake players yet until they see how quake live develops, others have because they see potencial.. agp tour? sending 1 person is far cheaper than sending 5 or even 6, signing certain players earlier will secure them for the future if everything goes to plan... just think about it.

it really is not that difficult to understand.

lol

travelling this distance makes zero economic sense, however going to masters does because people actually care about this event

economic sense has a lot to do with "caring" about the event. fail number one.

do you see eu teams running off to the USA to play in random tournaments? no, did you see some eu teams running off to the USA to play CPL (yes ok it did turn out to be a joke, but it still doesnt change the point i am making) and QuakeCon? YES... ie. get a clue please.

this is a random statement, has nothing to do with this. fail number two.

certain high caliber teams are not signing quake players yet until they see how quake live develops

quake live especially has nothing to do with sk behaving in a retarded way. they want the best for their players? they want them to win eswc? in that case, its really smart to avoid gamegune, which is 2x stronger tournament than eswc masters, cause they expect them to get in shape for san jose with online practicing vs random us pickups. have to be stupid to support a stupid. fail number three.


it really is not that difficult to understand?
no, i get it. you talk a lot of shit without any brains or facts to back it up.

again

you have no clue, i actually do but i am not willing to share certain information to some uneducated troll on esr.

just shut up, save at least some dignity.

you are the one with zero dignity flaming a team unnecessarily with no actual clue on why players were not sent to the event, i however, have a clue.

Both players will attend as many Quake 3 events as they can in 2008, hopefully starting with the ESWC Masters of Paris.

oh, look - hypocrisy!

www.sk-gaming.com

hopefully starting with eswc masters 2008

so wtf you whining about? gamegune was before that

you really are quite silly

that hole you fell into is pretty big, try harder.

oh wait, yes, you are not smart. otherwise you would have realized that your post was...i dont know.... nonsense?

whether i am right with the SK situation or not its still true 99% of teams

i dont enjoy socialising with people like you however entertaining it may be because it just inflates my ego, and i am told its far too big for my boots already, so this is an official goodbye.

I often wonder why people sponsor quake players too, its the game i love and only game i would spectate really but at the same time i dont see what return people get from their sponsorship.

Especially when they sponsor randoms that have no real chance at winning an event or even getting in the top 5 like some of the signings i have seen recently lol. Where is the return for the companies?

companies often push products that they actually lose on for lots of reasons

LLL picking fox is a major step for them and while it may seem a bit weird fox happens to be the perfect candidate as he's a very promising contender for 3 major upcoming events. That's a whole lot of leverage for them when it comes to boasting achievements for potential sponsors.

4kings going for ddk is the same kind of thing. Not to take a stab at ddk (he fucking rocks) but in terms of established skill it was another weird choice (you would think someone like fox would go here). Right away they have ddk being invited to the tournament of the year and winning the national competition: two achievements for nothing and more pulling power for sponsors.

they (sponsors) don't have a clue if ddk is super skilled or not, but you tell them he got an invite to France, America and won his national competition, it looks brilliant on paper.

As long as it looks good on paper then all is well. you only need to take a look at idiots like nvc getting selected for masters. his achievements were a load of sugar coated bullshit but it probably looked somewhat impressive as a huge list same likely applies to dongjin and so on

something like that anyway

how do you know 4k didnt try for fox too? ddk invited to masters? he was 3rd choice, then ddk winning eswc uk? there were 3 contestants, both who do not even play q3. Now he hasnt done that well at masters, so why flame me? do you see my name on masters? have i ever said i was going? no, These guys are the best in q3, did i think i was going to do well? no. Ever considered thats the reason i never accepted the invite when i got it? probably not.

Just because a player is from one nationalitiy or plays actively doesntmean he deserved an invite, in the 3rd party eyes as you said, sure, that eswc result is "worthy". But even so, ddk turning up and losing every game is more of a reason to flame his motive to actually going than me who turned it down.

Maybe he thought the same as me about only going because it would be fun, however he has been practicing ALOT, much more than i would have and so ofcourse I don't have anything against him going either, i am glad he went and for how much he prepared i think he does deserve it and i do agree with another UK player going, i am simply pointing out that it makes no real sense to refer to me or my invite when i am not and was never going to be there. Also for the record, the only achievements i put down were q4 tdm, 2.

give it a break

dont take esr trolls seriously man <3

haha its a bad habit :(

congratz to both!

^_^

gl

Hmmm. Are those the same guys who invaded #cpmpickup a few months back? QW Players?

edit:appearently not

could have called it "fox in lions den" or smthn.... :D

"Fox the liontamer"

didn't see that one coming. For me, the name LowLandLions implies it houses Benelux players.

anyway best of luck to fox and LLL!

<3

Where's the link to their website? I don't want to go to sk-gayming.
