yay fox :D

Fox would not skip 2x chances for money almost right at his doorstep!
Now if only this was the same for toxic.

F.O.X
O.O
X....X

"hundreds of thousands "

seriously?

yep

SVT = Swedish Television. It's the biggest television network in Sweden (and probably Scandinavia). Their web broadcast called SVT Play is very popular.
They've broadcasted live on the web the last two DreamHacks.

I am willing to bet money on that it wasnt close to 100k viewers though.

SVT Play had 90,000 unique viewers during DreamHack Winter 09
Haven't found any numbers for DreamHack Summer yet

What I want to know, is how many of them watched for more than 5minutes.

What you want is boycot.

$6850 for first place?
nice!

€ 4,875*

Noone wants dollars here in europe

We don't want dollars here, either. :)

if you're lucky, by the time the tournament starts, its even going to be about more dollars

cup_gold 45,000 SEK (€ 4,875)
cup_silver 15,000 SEK (€ 1,625)
cup_bronze 10,000 SEK (€ 1,083)


where did you get that # ? :>

still nice first place prize money

aw didn't see the $ :>

4,875 that is ;)

get tox :<

I like tox , but players should deserve it, its not Q4.

What a nonsensical statement backed up further by the probable fact that Toxjq would whip your ass on an off-day

im noob in ql, i dont see any reason why he cant do that. but fag, learn to read.

soraged.


Like I said:
http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1973957#pid1973957

It's nothing to do with your or anyone else's skill.

if online tourneys are a standard to get invited to dreamhack, then guard > toxjq 20x.

let alone 1 online tourney.

Yeah but his lg is nothink on the LAN

respect the guard, he beat everyone in the top5 while placing 2nd @ zotac cups

ok never mind, toxjq is on of the greatest quake players in all time, i would love to see him playing in dh.

we want you too guard! :D

define "deserve"

I guess he means qualifying or something. Seems a bit of a non-point though because iirc the last qualifier Toxjq played in he beat Avek (the winner of Dreamhack) without practicing or being inshape...


If that's not a get-into-tourney-free card, then I dunno what is

One game.

Anyways, if tox wanted to participate, he'd start showing at some online tourneys.

Wasn't one game though. Was bo5 right? Despite that, when other players were practicing for Quakecon (Cooller, Stermy, Strenx etc) they played Toxjq and he won quite a few matches...

What does that tell you?

That he might be decent?

it was a zotac and bo3

in all fairness, I give you credit now for being a really good player, but seriously, tox is a natural. The top 3 winners of last years Qcon all practiced with tox before the tourney, and they frequently lost the practice matches.

Why dahang and no rapha?

AND WHAT ABOUT QUALIFICATION? 12 spots left , so much skilled players... :/ Maybe 24/32 players tourney?

rapha has never been to dreamhack. he probably has a reason.

Our Thanksgiving holiday is always the 4th Thursday in November, which means it's always around the time of Dreamhack..

ah yeah, i forgot.

dahang has no problem with it though :P

To each their own. I don't know if Dahang spends the holiday here then catches an overnight flight or if he spends several days over there, but I guess rapha just doesn't want to go through the hassle.

Dahang ain't no jesusfreak. :@

It's Thanksgiving... lol.

Ritual ceremonies are by nature religious. :@

when i think about my jerking off ceremonie, i have qualms.

Don't you worship the slutty teen lesbians? :c

:D

Religious ceremonies are by nature stupid. :p But Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday.

Do you even know what thanksgiving is?

religion = patriotism

you know usually Dreamhack works on invite-only format. But there will be some little changes this year I heard.

how about 2gd+lvlup like last time? :)

nvm

Please get 2gd! tournaments just aren't the same without him, and if you can't get him calipt is the only replacement

Your requests are not unreasonable, but you should perhaps take into consideration the dates of events like dreamhack 2010 - and how much it would actually cost to allow specific individuals to take weekdays off work and cover events if they are not being financed by their teams to play there.

That's not to say this is the case here, i'm just pointing out my concerns to you.

brit + "you're requests" = how the fuck

Many natives have shitcore grammar and spelling.

Don't worry, they can still speak better than you. :asd

:)

Morons who can't tell the difference between your/you're, then/than, etc.are native english speakers in 99% of cases . Ones who learned it as second language usually make different mistakes.

aslong as i don't have to listen to ischju i'm happy. Not that i hate the guy, i just think there's plenty of better shoutcasters out there, seems Ischju would be much better at CTF/tdm. He's not very clued up about duel

DreamHack previously used a system combining direct invites, byoc qualifiers, online qualifiers, offline qualifiers in multiple countries.

No information concerning this tournament has been released though.

I know, thats why im asking.

Ye, I get that. I just wanted to correct the statement suggesting that DreamHack is invite only.
It's never been that way and never will be.

No rapha? You are not able to see a huge row of TBA's in slots 5-16?

rapha is still going afaik

sweet!

ok nice.

yay!

would hope so, would be a shame to see him miss two big tournies

fox <3

C'MON Rapha! tell your family you'll bring them 100 turkeys if you go! :D

go fox :D

Looks good. Good luck to all entering.

GO FOX!

FOX \o/

Wake up call!
thank you vanne

Kaspersky ftw

Go toxjq!

Tim is our lord and savior.

Cooller, pls, no more "visa fail" (c)

go kaspersky ! :@
really hoping to see some good performance from fox, his games are so enjoyable to watch that i would like to see him at least getting to semis, also would like to see cooller winning the final, it was sad to see on last few major tournaments he lost his chance to achieve first place mainly because of some stress issues, he was so goddamn well prepared that if he can get over with those issues he can get first place.

LOL come on, the most experienced player of all has stress issues? What kind of stupid excuse is that?

He's not winning because others are playing better.

He means fox chokes a lot, which is generally true.

He means Cooller has stress issues which is bullshit.

Oh yeah lol, I just read fox and stress :<

tox must go! free money!

ez for avek

needs more cypher and k1llsen

that players list order is just so heretically wrong.

here, fixed

this.

finally makes sense there

appreciate the executive summary

ahahha yes para

need

- czm
- rapha
- zero4
- tox
- z4muz

and im happy :)

No cypher

No list

czm.. maybe next year.

Hopefully fox will deliver \:D/
Would love to see rapha on DH tho, too bad he's missing.

Oh yeah no cypher? What's up with that?

Hope Rapha attends tbh.

Are you completely blind not to see 12 slots to be announced?

Yes, yes I am.

yes,yes he is

no noctis, no watch!

Fox for president! \o/

yay!!!

We missed you fox. I realize he'll be a bit rusty, and I'm fine with him not finishing at the top of the list, just really glad to see him active again. =]

fox \o/

Final:
killsen vs avek???

that would be odd

go toxjq!

fox <3

<3 <3 Fox - I'd minus you if i could.. back off Sister!

2GD casting FOX's games <3 <3 <3 <3

and a 2gd vs trito showmatch with fox&czm casting while we're at it

add 2GD casting while he plays ;)

<3 2gd

Go cooller go!

My wish list for Dreamhack/Beatit:

1.Toxjq
2. Fox
3.Cooller
4.Cypher
5. k1llsen
6. Stermy
7. Rapha
8. Av3k
9. Strenx
10. CZM
11. ZeRo4
12. Dahang
13. Vo0
14. Noctis
15. z4muz
16. Spart1e

Double Elimination bo3 until quarter finals and then best of 5. Loser brackets bo3 until finals bo5

2GD and Joe casting every match, streamed in VLC player with qltv streaming config.

Maps:
Aerowalk, Vertical Vengeance, Blood Run, Hektik, Battleforged, Lost World, Furious Heights

Bo3: Drop, Drop, Pick, Pick, Drop Drop - Last map is 3rd map choice.

Bo5. Drop, Drop, Pick, Pick, Pick, Pick, Last map final.

17. fatal1ty

:D;d;d;d;;dw;d;

Only if you mean dm17

and they lived happily ever after

- t4

+ something else, shit even dismemberment was funner to watch

if you think dismemberment is more fun to watch than t4 then something is seriously wrong with you.

except for the stupid teleporters by mega I dont entirely hate the map, t4 on the other hand... well I just dont like it.

I think t4 deserves to stay in map pool because of 2 reasons:

1. it has no specific flow to it, its good to have one such map, tests the raw ability of a player to make decisions that are not routine.

2. no lg in the map: so short/mid range battles are rocket/sg/pg, long range is mg/rg. It tests your ability to survive as well as how to force the guy in control to pick a close range fight with you so that his rail advantage is nullified.

2. no lg in the map: spam tele with rockets and use railgun for everything else.

wholly disagree with "everything else" -- this map is a serious shotty map...only by strat can you get close enough to use it well. Watch Amai and Cypher on t4 -- equally entertaining number of close-up melees and long-range sniping.

+ maps that mask some sounds with opening/closing doors
+++ oh and Fazz (what dallow said)

This!

give T4, most unique map and it's good!

15. fazz

QL TV's streaming config is okay but could be improved on but that's personal preference.

NIce wish list of players and maps ;)

get cypher please, without cypher quake seems curry without spice.

DaHanG <3

great news, now I can start living again.

fox starting with no ambition = very dangerous

Welcome back fox, we missed you!!!

Mange fighting! <3

BATTLEFORGED

THANKS

-battleforged +hektik

New Battleforged is good!

nice pool you got there

GIMME DA SCOREBOARD FUCKER

where is any response in regards to srs_Cypher attendance?

him, cooller, k1llsen, stermy, rapha must be on the list or its not a quake tourney :D

Do you play QL under that name?

illskills

Can't you read? It's fox, cooller, av3k, dahang. 4 players, period. OBVIOUSLY, absolutely no one else will attend. Case closed.

You're good at misunderstanding people

what i not understand???????????? i see only idiots that cannot read

toxjq doesn't play QL actively, so I don't think we should expect him to show up.

but its sweden and hes RIGHT THERE AND HES GODDAMN GOOD

fuck

neither is zamuz :/

ye but zamuz has no chance anyway

Even though he turned up last year and got to the finals without much training.

who did he beat?

Well he beat DaHang who was considered top 5 at that time and stermy.I'm not trying to say if he plays he will win it i'm just saying that if he played he would have a very small chance of winning not no chance at all like you said .

So he didn't beat any real top tier player :P but yeah okay this is a useless argument so let me just agree that he has a very small chance, not 0.0%.

You don't class top 5 as top tier ? Don't think ive ever seen anyone say top 5 isn't top tier ,10/10 for originality with that one !

stermy = cautious, solid aim player
zamuz = cautious, solid aim player

stermy beats rapha
zamuz beats stermy

you do the math :D

gg

Really talented guy, but Single Elimination... ;)

...means u re gonna be out of the tournament quick as allways?

oh wait

Funny shit dude.

On DH page it says double elimination.

And that is great. But what I meant was that. With Single Elimination anything could happend. You play 1 bad game, and you are out, you are unlucky in 1 game, and you are out. Some players gets an "easier way" throught the brackets in SE....

I think he would be a regular top 5 finisher if he actually took quakelive serious, he plays very sporadic and never seem to practise with other pros.

As clown maybe

Give us Killsen and Rapha too and the 120hz screens so we can finally see Av3k and Cypher run them thru.

K1llsen and Rapha should be there anyway because of the fnatic tourney?
Fuck this is gonna be the big warmup for iem world and european finals.

The creme de la creme/championship winners

K1llsen
Rapha
Av3k
Cypher

Championship contenders

Cooller
spartie
stermy
(All 3 in shape should aim for 1st)

Serious upsets

strenx (I would put strenx in the contenders group but I don't know his current shape)
Dahang (in shape definitely contender)
fox (surprise bag)
tox (see above )
noctis (emo, so no contender :x)

Upsets

fazz (lags the winner thing)
madix (unknown current shape)
guard (online hero ;))
Vo0
dandaking
agent


Maps

Hektik: pros dislike it, viewers love it and so far pretty damn good games :D
Aerowalk: Cypher vs k1llsen, no need to say more :O)
Lost world: Stermy vs Rapha or the big brain game between Cooller and Rapha
Furious Heights: Great map and suits more than rail only players
Battleforged (new one ofc): Seems to be a good map
Blood Run: Old sql
t9: I know spam blabla but many great games and telefrag

No need for either crappy t4 or dismembershit

Group stages bo3 and then single elimination bo5. Final bo7!!!!!
Mods Calipt+2gd+Joe
Demos right after the games and VODs at the latest the next day!
Everyone in shape+the map pool and I'm gonna need extra protein to survive the spraying :D
Btw. this would be my personal tournament despite I would invite way more players like the Americans (czm, zero4, dkt, chance), reload, calipt, winz, demon, amai, purri and so on

your groups are not very good

I made the joke first and you get all the [+] ?

v

you have to be at the right place at the right time

hah!









copycat

why are they all in the same group??`????

its 1 big ffa game on ra3map11 with the top2 passing this "groupstage" for a 1map final on hektik

makes sense here.

i know you're kidding but there used to be q3 tournies which worked exactly like that. huge ffa as round1, winner survives :>

Hmmm Quakecon, right? Some years back.

Yep, only QuakeCons afaik. FFA rounds on dm12 !

Wasn't it DM7 on Quakecon 04?

could be ye

Why no cypher or rapha? This is ridiculous!

http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/30930-Three_..._DreamHack

rapha <3!

But all in same group??? This is absolute bullshit!

GROUP 1 SO UNBALANCED LOL OMG stupid adminS

TBA is gonna take it this time, I can feel it!

that bastard av3k?

fear not, rapha is going

http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/30922-SK_att...k_en_masse

Good news.

great news.

Update: SK-Gaming announced that rapha will be attending aswell.

dahang did :>

common sense did, since he is qualified for the msi beat it tourney :p

common sense tells to ask you about your plans? REASON tells me you might really go..

che che

fuck yeah rapha is going!

eventho i dislike his playstyle (in comparison to agressive players) it wouldnt be a complete tourney without him :>

fuckin hope fox wins this. hell, it's about time.

PHRANTIC
ZTN
BATTLEFORGED
AEROWALK
HEKTIK
DM13
T4

phrantic? you srs?

What's wrong with the new phrantic?

we're gonna see that at dreamhack. aero isnt going as people expected either in quakelive so ye, flip a coin and see if it turns out good or bad? :>

Lack of MH, too linear, stupid green goo, overall design (looked much better in q4), boring to watch, and last but not least, any map would be a good substitute for it.

couldnt find the mappool, link?
hope your wrong about phrantic, never wanna see that shit map again

How you doing?

rapher

(c) Joe

fox <3<3<3<3

Cool attendees :)

it is about toxjq we get to see a nice ql tourney

I thought he was lame first, but he's been getting better.

Not to say I really want him casting big tourneys, small cups are okey, I really believe he could become a decent caster.

<3 Dreamhack.
Hope levelup will again provide good, smooth and amazing coverage of this event!

14:51 CEFO|Bloodpa1nt • cyphers going to dreamhack right?

sweden is far from sweden dont think he will go..

"They will join the reigning champion Poland av3k who is returning to defend his title."

CTRL + C -> CTRL + V in 2011 as well I hope so.

Needs fuckhead and zamuz.

still confused.

the 2nd qualifier for beatit is supposed to be today, but no news post or streams?

also cooller isn't qualified or signed up for 2nd qual or even the last qual.



Did he forget?

Cooller knows about the tourney, he wrote on his Q&A page a couple of weeks ago that he will participate in qualifiers. I don't know why he haven't registered yet.

We have an urgent update regarding the MSI BEAT IT Quake Live Qualifier #2! The FnaticMSI PLAY Head Admin, Danijel 'StreeT' Remus had a power outage today and is therefore not able to run the tournament. For that reason we are forced to postpone the tournament. Read more inside

GO-GO FOX!1
