Poland>all

First \o/

Go UK

Go UK

Go UK

i hope team nl gets easy group :P

Sorry mate D;

:[

please do not seed belgium based on the lineup we had vs portugal, we will probably get our A lineup for groupstage :)

too late!

thats too bad for the favourites we will have to kick out of the tournament ! :D

wat? rofl. if portugal had played with mm3 (or even practiced a single game with that lineup), you'd have lost.
PS: not to mention ur 20 ping vs our 60 ping

er.

most of us had never even played one single time together, I hadnt even spoke to moveit before that game.

It was also morrigu's first ql tdm game since ql started.

Most of my team didnt even know the item placements.

you're funny

same with portugal?
and, you're not funny, just sad Lol

:'(

gl for the cup nevertheless ! :p

I hope Sweden can field a proper line-up for once.

toxjq is on their roster...

...whether he actually plays is a different matter.

http://www.esl.eu/eu/team/5019672/

where?

New page for the team it seems.

Before it was http://www.esl.eu/nordic/team/1353680/

what's your point? why not?

did you?

and your point?

can someone please answer my question?????

esl, did.

I thought it was the AGP

ohoho!

who invaded poland? :<

ESL

back then they were still called ESPL i believe

if someone can explain me why top seed are sweden and poland ????
cause france win the 2 last NC....

jay and joe explain us pls

based on skill and not old dusty results

haha funny no name

b not no name

i'm sorry i offended you mister celebrity

please accept my noname apologies

make me some tea

make me some tea

make me some tea

make me some tea, and suck my dick

i refuse to make you tea.

i can live with that

how are those groups possible..

isnt 1st april over ?

I approve

It could only be worse if Belgium swapped with Poland, it's like top4 teams in NC - poland in group a and then iceland+belgium :p

you're assuming we will use a weak lineup like we had vs portugal for groupstages there though.

If you consider that we can field a much better lineup the groups drawings look even more retarded...

This was in no way intended as an insult to you, even if Iceland swapped with Poland still top5 would be in group A anyways

I know I know :D

well this enc looks disappointing already... I'm already looking forward to the 2011 edition though, hopefully seeds are straightened out oO

lol - asif iceland top 5

When did I say Iceland was top5?

"even if Iceland swapped with Poland still top5 would be in group A anyways "

You're saying Iceland are top5 right there.

ARE YOU TROLLIN LINKOO LOL HE WILL RESPOND WITH AN ESSAY NEXTMAOOOO

I would suggest English classes, but I won't bother to go down that road, I said if Iceland and Poland swapped groups Poland+ aut+nl+fr+swe ARE and would be top5, stop putting words in my mouth.

"even if Iceland swapped with Poland still top5 would be in group A anyways "

The word "still" in that context means there already was five top5 teams in the group, and that the swap with Poland didn't remove any of the top5 teams. You therefore consider by implication that Iceland is a top 5 team. ZOMGWTF?

Want some Engrish lessons?

even if they switched it would still be unbalanced, and Iceland wouldn't be in Group A if they switched......

You get that the swap would involve Iceland going to group B.. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
So TO ME it reads: if poland would switch with belgium top5 would be in group A and it would still remain so if iceland switched with POLAND!
ICELAND TOP5??? DON'T BE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ICELAND TOP5??? DON'T BE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Switch or not switch team from A group to B group is not the right question.

The good questions are :

- Because of the volcano, are you sure that Iceland will be always on the surface of the earth when the cup will start ?

- If yes, does the volcano will be responsible of lag and variable ping rate of the Iceland players (if they still alive) ?

- Does the Iceland volcano dust will be responsible of the QL server crash ?

Iceland country = huge debt + volcano = dust

What is the utility of Iceland in fact ??? o_O

(I just kidding/trolling of course !! :-)

The crucial question is:

When will the Frenchmen be able to speak English?

true :)

And also "When the rest of the world will be able to speak our lovely language ?" :o)

sif the gave a chance, every second time I try to speak French when in France (which isn't great), I get a reply in even worse English.

It even happened that a girl asked her colleague in French to give her and English word and I answered her. Didn't stop her trying to speak English, though.

So true. :o)

A day, my mother tried to explain to 2 lost tourists (who had a map of Paris in their hands), the way to go where they expected to go (with a lot of gesture and so on...), and after 5 minutes trying to speak english (blabla on your right, blabla on the left) she discovered that in fact the 2 tourists were 2 French guys in holidays in Paris.... :x

(sorry mum)

LOL

The real question is whats the difference between Cheryl Cole and Iceland?

The answer, Iceland is still blowing Ash

what are you saying man!!!!

top4 will be 3 teams from group A + poland :D

HUN \o/

Awesome competition in group stage A! Very handsome group.

I'm almost positive that if Poland wins this, ESR will sink in comments saying how we got lucky in group drawings :D

pff, easy bet, people are already saying you go tlucky in group drawings.

fojji fazze purri zyvve... this should work :>

.

who cares, what about nude pics of csf players??

nice group for russia. :d

Groups will be unbalanced only if Sweden will have there best lineup.

France is't better then Poland (imho Poland have best tdm lineup in QL)
Austia is't better then Russia (may be on dm20 Austira is better, but it's bo3)
Netherlands is't better then UK (UK have deus, and if he is on fire, NL don't have anyone who can be compared to him in tdm skills)
Iceland is't better then Hungary (I think Hungary is better then Iceland, if not UK server)
Belgium is't better then Denmark (Denmark won against Germany, and can show some really nice results in future, I think they are better then ANY lineup of Belgium)
Sweden is better then Finland, but Finland won Sweden last time!

P.S. Hope cup will have gr8 coverage!

Netherlands is't better then UK (UK have deus, and if he is on fire, NL don't have anyone who can be compared to him in tdm skills)

NL can count on forever and to be honest nl can win with a lineup consisting of forever draven silencep + one decent imo

Belgium is't better then Denmark (Denmark won against Germany, and can show some really nice results in future, I think they are better then ANY lineup of Belgium)

I hope you're kidding... ;-)

that anonymous person is just clearly an idiot.

;(

well I hesitated to put you or tua or weird but you came to my mind indeed but I thought that'd be lame to put aside weird/tua !!!!

oO

well, if vertex impulse + one decent plays, Belgium might stand a chance to be better than Denmark!

burnedd

next enc maybe, burnedd still isnt allowed to play because of his age :(

wish I was decent :(

you speak the truth

awesome distribution ;(

T_T

someone rly had to put a lot of effort in failing this hard

Poland vs Sweden in the final = classic Quake final..

how lame to already put them in final :)

Hmm, groups seem a bit messed up :)

Doubt this draw could have gone any worse for Iceland though..
Ping wise I mean, Icelands chances against most of these teams arent that good to begin with , I would have imagined them to take one or two matches but the ping is gonna make that very hard..

Sweden France Austria 30 ping vs Iceland 55

Netherlands Belgium 10 ping vs Iceland 55

Russia, Poland, Hungary, Finland would all have been a lot better suited for an even match :/

huh?
we ping 60ms in uk and 40-50 in nl

Oh, dont think Ive ever played vs someone from Austria. Just assumed it wouldnt be that much different from Germanys ping to UK. Good to know that at least one team wont have a semi decent to massive ping advantage :>

i'd rather give a def win then ever play on a uk server again tho!

Hehe, a sentiment shared by a lot of EU players. You wouldnt believe how hard can be to get players to just try UK even though in most cases it is the only viable server location. Even the Germans who get 30 ping act like they wont even give it a second thought, server searches can be so fun :>

its cause the uk host is simply horrible, even servers in russia where i have worse ping are nicer to play on :/

Weird, it is often the exact opposite for me. UK is where theres no PL, but in DE it is often like playing CPMA.. So insanely jerky movement.

Does the EU mainland internet to UK go through NL ? Because a lot of the time when Iceland has any Internet problems in EU it is can be because there is some shitty ISP there that we go through that is very unstable and most of the time cant handle peak hours..

looking forward to our defwin :*

ye baby i ping 10 to uk ! yes! im gonna check it out now!!

oh snap i dont :(

Close enough I reckon :p

i dont even ping 10 in NL.. :) how the fuck should i be able to get a ping close to 10 :) i got arround 30's i think at uk

Guess I should have checked on the ice vs nl match report from qqc a couple of weeks ago.

Seems like 25-40 is a fair estimate. But its still huge ! :>

just keep blowing up you Island and you'll be relocated to European mainland (somewhere in the north of Finland or so). Much better pings!

Hehe, I wish :)

But failing that we can take donations so we can set up servers in the Faroe Islands ! Maybe if we get enough we can build an oil rig for optimum ping, it may seem expensive but we have to think about Icelands future gamers, it would be horrible if our future gaming generations had to deal with this injustice !

you start to sound like strenx :D

just play and stop whining guys, the prizemoney is not lifechanging so what's the big deal? :)

shut up nvc

swe lineup looks promising... they will make it!

Can someone please link this thread up with the player lineup?

hm few days ago sweden was practicing with kruse, zyvve, fazz & purri.

your point being?

it means guys like zyv & kruse are motivated to play in the ENC, as opposed to the QQC NC. I didn't check out the squad page before so this is a nice surprise to me.

money whores :/

Apparently ESL want me to pay big monies to see what lineup Swe got, anyone wanna help me? :)

Can't you just click "Don't wanna pay" or something?

Very helpful ;) and no, it just says proceed to pay.

weird, whenever I get that message I can just click it away.

Thx, go PURRI! :)
