that's a very strong team nonetheless, and with some hard practise and (most importantly) spartie getting back in shape, they can get very far in the tournament.
rather disappointing to see biggest swedish names missing
the 1st team having play> core could fight for top3, but at this point i'd place them under NL and RUS probably
Just check the html, its all there. Several of the teams that 'hasnt paid' is either empty or has now said they're not going. For example, there's an uk team with 'raw' as leader with no players, this 'zer0' guy failed to create his team so its there twice, team finland is there but they aren't going.
Hehe, scared me for a moment there aswell. But I'm pretty sure he is refering to the previous tweet (don't ask me why they use their official twitter for such bs).

8 teams, just enough for 2 groups of 4. kinda dissapointing I must say. I thought raw was going to put together a uk team?
I had a chat with q50 a couple of days / a good week ago and we both thought we could have had 2 UK teams but it seems that the closer it has come to LAN, the more UK guys have decided to drift away I think the ek guys are playing CS:GO garpys into his SM I think. Deus isn't avi for the dates Betija is LAN dodging as always (or just being a sailor) and I can't remember what everyones favourite commentator is doing or if he just cba! So it's pretty unlucky but oh well!
"we will be left without 20 additional PCs and the 120Hz monitors"
"In an effort to somewhat compensate for this error, we will be offering all of our bootcamping slots for free on Thursday evening, there will be 30 slots available. This is to give people the opportunity to become accustomed with the monitors."
#adroits.quake is boiling today, Swedes and Czechs want to carry their own monitors by cars etc.
All good Quake tournaments are supposed to deliver drama. This one is definitely looking good :)
I have one last request from adroits!! PLS do webcams of players/caster desk. and where the players are playing. It adds so much more to a stream. My guess is that caster desk will probably happen but not the players faces.
