I thought the same. It's less than two months from now. Let's hope everything works fine.

Btw, this made me realize I'm getting older. There was a time where one week was as far as I could plan ahead. Now I'm swamped by ifs and buts to put this into my calendar :/

TosspoT - Reply to #113

QuadV got whacked for all of our casters in the real life scenario over the past 18 months. Redeye and myself both work fulltime in other industries, Joe went to ESLTV fulltime, Deman moved house, A Spec is working a number of projects. That combined with a bit of a problem bringing through new casters limited the amount of events we could take on.
Lets hope for a better 2011, we're quoting on a couple of events upcoming.

Because I honestly don't consider those other 6 World Championships as "true World Championships", for me they are just nominal titles, not meaning anything. So yes, you are right, nominally I am 17 times World Champion, but I don't think I am fooling anyone when I say that I am only 11 times World Champion, because it's only those eleven titles that truly matter to me.

Hm even though this is very nice from stermy, I doubt he can be the main organizer and play in the quake tournament and do well in both at the same time. Since both require 100% dedication.

So I already predict if he plays he is not going to do very well :/

He's prolly doing this to get some practice in. After he got banned, this might be his way of getting his fix. Maybe he won't accept the prize money if he manages to win.

If there is a 2nd lan tournament a earlier announcment would be nice as I could plan to visit it. I know it is for italian gamers though some foreigners wouldn't hurt imo. Early spring in march is way better than vienna :P
