In before Fooki love. 2gd4dh zz.

they make them travel to fucking edmonton? roflwaffle.

no that's the NA finals, EU are in germany I think

i know, but it's (i think) the most remote north american city, in the fuckin' arctic practically

not even close.. try looking at a map?

yaiwasrlysrsdude

it's just remote

No city is remote when it has a major airport.

i shall win

No?

if you don't you owe me esr $$$

Will ESL allow other streamparties to participate for the other games?
Will they offer vods afterwards for those who miss it? (Like I do tomorrow :/ )

Anyway, we did Garpy-games last week so you can replay them in our library: http://tv.holysh1t.net/index.php?page=library

(this aint spam, this is to contribute what ESL didnt stream)

Yeah, VODs are usually up pretty soon.

People who want to stream the other games are very welcome!

yes, all matches that are not broadcasted by ESL TV can be broadcasted by anyone who wants, just contact xou or me about the details and we set it up.

We are also currently setting up a twitter feed so we can announce all broadcasts to our website and over the web.

wow. nice. Cooller 1st Cypher 2nd Zamuz 3rd ))

Its online man, sweden wins :O

not if they play on moscow server whahahahah

Wow 4 very good matchups. Will tune in.

looking forward to it!

how bout dueling 2GD ^^

Yeh good stuff! <3 ESL!

Also nice to see an American LAN championship coming. It's good for their community. I hope we can keep on having competition between the US and EU. Looking even more forward to see China/Asia join this group.

Looking forward to this!

Too bad fazz allready pretty much knocked himself out by losing to Garpy who got pretty solid wins btw.

Looks like a really good matchup!

Just how good do ppl think zsx is? Iirc he had a very close game against bodzo a while ago, and they made quite a lot of mistakes, particularly on t9? I think 2GD and joe casted it...

So Cooller is going to rape him probs?

Don't really care tbh, lots of really good matches to look forward to!

from what I've seen he has a pretty good aim, but was making too much mistakes (rushing with low hp etc)

i like ESL because they are able to oganize DEMOS and POVs not like FREAKING DREAMHACK

im always reading such news, goin like"yeyeeye nice evening occupation" and than i read 3 rows below "gwins in 1 day",,,, grml :p

for any germans who care, i wrote a group analysis for fragster: Group A-D and Group E-H

tried to use google translate but the outcome isnt really worth reading...

"If the Internet does not make him upset by the bill, he should make in its current form, not a game."

i like how the meaning not only gets mostly lost, but is ,if anything, reversed

ya, that seems to be more common recently

if you want it to be translatable, you need to cut back on the idioms and write shorter sentences.

But of course that ruins the reading experience for the Germans. So don't ;)

true, but that doesnt really help the article in the first place ;)

Just saying.


If you just want to do a quick and dirty translation use the google translator and correct the sentences where it fucks up.

btw. the link to "Teil 2" in the fragster article is wrong, it has a double http:

http://www.fragster.de/http://www.fragster.de...l-2_quake/

Fragster.de is a good site and I'd love to read more, but german isn't really my strongest language. Since i'm dutch I can still make up what your saying, but it would be damn nice if you made a translation. Your english is fine so get going sir!

holy goddamn that's cute. :x

thats cooller

is this in Edmonton Alberta Canada?>?

wtf? I live in Edmonton and can't imagine why anyone would hold this event here...if it is, where is it at? I'd pay money to go watch some world class quake!!

whats the deal here?

thanks.

The Intel Extreme Masters American Championship Finals will take place in Edmonton, in the West Edmonton Mall in the Ice Palace from the 11. to 13. December. More Details will be released from time to time on http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season4/edmonton/

Players atteding are: dkt, Dahang, rapha, griffin, Vo0, gellehsak, sparks and Chance

Feel free to come over and visit us ;)

A detailed schedule with times for QL will be released later.

can you also tell a bit more about january eu finals in cologne, germany?

It will be an ESL TV studio event. We will also have the Asian Championship in February. The World Championship will take place in Hanover at CeBIT 2010. We have an entire CeBIT hall at our disposal there.

NICE! Looking forward to it ;].

Vo0 living in america now?

yes

LOL @ the Ice Palace...

I'm excited its in my city don't get me wrong, but this venue is a joke!

Basically, you're surrounded 360 degrees by thousands of pre-teens and zombie shoppers... this is the loudest place in the mall...tell all the players to bring those helicopter head phones or you won't hear an effing thing.

So we just show up and can watch on big screens or is there a spectator area? What time are the matches etc?

For the first time in the history of the world Canada is important to someone outside of Canada and the Canadians themselves are badmouthing it? You should be ashamed

I'm not bad mouthing canada, friend...please read. When you're a professional, and you're performing, the venue plays a huge role in how well you can execute your skills.

As a gamer and knowing how much sound and extraneous visual noise can affect your concentration, I was simply pointing out that putting these professional gamers, competing in a national qualifier, inside a mall, more specifically in an ice rink in the center of the mall where thousands of people walk by every hour does not create a professional environment from which these players can perform optimally.

You can argue that as professionals they ought to be able to perform in any situation, under any circumstance, but thats BS. Put them in a quiet, dark auditorium so they can focus on the game 100%.

please not

hol1shit! you just diverted his hope for some nationalism fight

mahahahaha HIMYM rules :D

More great stuff from ESL! Keep QL going strong :D

Today's the Day :)
Hopefully my Bets come out well - harhar

edmonton rocks

ESL + Beer... Awesome night in <@:)

swine flu? are you serious? ...

swine flu? just a bad excuse for bad aim, isn't it? :)

Ah man, i quit work at 22:00

Guess ill have to pick up the haste that spawns in the copyroom and
run home like the wind! ...YEAH!!!

what the swine flu is this?

oo need a beer for these :o)))

I hope he doesn't die
(if its fox)

and if it's linkoo ?

then I don't care \:D/

if he dies does it count as linkoo win ? :>

more like a draw, if anything...

zzz

Swine flu is as deadly as a normal flu.

swine flu strikes again... :(

so....is anyone going to stream the 21h matches?

Madix - Guard here: http://tv.holysh1t.net/

ty :)

nice, thanks

well the german guys on esl just said something about quakelive.... thats as much as i understood though =/

i guess that it'll begin in like 20 minutes and that there will be a show afterwards

Yeah its on now \o/

wtf are they doing? picmip 1 is unwatchable!

yeah 10+ ftw

max is 8

Really? Oh.....

best stream ever. hello 1993.

what the fuck is this? burns my eyes fuck them

With recent events, video quality of quakelive.tv and dreamhack official streams, the ESL TV low quality one is simply unwatchable. Definitly wont make me think well of ESL.

At least put some high picmip which should improve poor visibility of such low quality stream.

Then buy premium! doh

It looks like Q1 with software rendering.

THE PIXELS, I CAN SEE THEM

they don't read comments or stuff i think :((

Are you sure Rondrian and xou aren't reading comments?

And don't forget the massiv irc whine

no we don't!

oh :(

i wasn't talking about xou or rondrian dough

why not, don't you think they have incluence on the ESL stream?

that's what i think, but not something i know for sure :)

wuhu, maybe they'll change it ... suddenly

http://gouzouboudou.free.fr/ESL-TV.html

changed it to 800x600
I thought it was okay

Ok ....

Canceled due to smoke withdrawing from the competition.

Why the fuck did he come up with that when the competition just started? zzzz

because he got really really sick (no not swine flu) and won't be able to play the next few weeks, nothing he could do about it.

that sucks. (not ment offensive!)

Ok.. ehm.. Sorry smoke :(

gotta admire all those winning attitudes "I'm gonna probably loose" xD

The free stream usually looks so much better?

lol 360 lg :D

yeh lol.

next fight "Where is your 360 lg!"

:P

wtf was cypher doing vs zamuz in ztn? his game seemed to be totally off or he didnt even care about result..

what's wrong with smoke? oO

COOLLER IS ON!

COOLLER IS OFF!

getting destroyed

an error occured ...security,pluginbasic,connect

GG by cooller

intense, wasnt it?

cooller ftw.. seems that he lost his cool lately, not good :/ he'd destroyed him if they played dm13 after t9...

I think if you loose the match because one mistake, you don't deserve the win
zsx was catching cooller offguard a lot of times, coller catched him once, and won

that was damn close

nice play from zsx =)

i usually dont enjoy dm13 games but that was probably the best one ive seen

VOD please! Been on the beers and missed it ;)

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1796618#pid1796618
>:)

fuck i forgot this was today :((((

Demos?

All demos are on match pages, but Cooller and Cypher didn't record.

:(

set up rules forcing demo records :p

This rule already exists, I guess we need to apply it now.

so hurry! we need demos ;) :D

VOD is up: http://tv.esl.eu/de/vod/21767

nice :)
now i can watch my 1v1-fail yesterday x)

just a bit more practice on that 360 lg and you've got him!

precisely

wasnt there some game scheduled for today 19:00?

ok, found the post
