ins still in milan?

how many planes did he miss?

He works for faceit now.

faceit giving summer jobs to underpriviliged kids, that's commendable

Could use a summer job aswell :D

Just 3 or 4

that new team system sounds good, hope it works out as intended! also loving the "join as solo" concept

Why is the mappool changed for the 2nd time now?

And i still dont know how u get a faceit rating. i mean in my team only 1 player got a rateing and got no idea why

.

might fly solo

I was told by 12 that the map pool was changed in the draft cup to be the same as the pro cup. I was told this yesterday and was super confused because there was no info.

Now you update the post for the draft and it's still the old map pool..

Is this the correct one?

Looks like I got a team ^^

I miss Spider Crossings in the pool.

A bit over played yeah, but it's still a classic.

Commentated by 2 non-ctfers....why no Zoot :)

Ah wel looking forward to it, those guys will do good! Unfortunately cant watch the whole show....

seriously, those two are lost in translation in ctf. :D

The map pool for the Draft Cup has not changed.

Well then this mappool should maybe also be mentioned in the rules cause there its the promappool

I fixed it as soon as I saw your comment.

good to see ins there :o)

The team size seem to be 4 on the faceit site, I want to add a 5th reserve player but i am unable to. Is this working as intended or is it allowed to add a reserve 5th player?

If you make a premade team you can add up to twelve members. When you sign-up for the tournament, select your main line-up. We won't make an issue if you want to change one player in the cup.

rofl this mappool....

rofl ctf

No spider crossings? oO
Is the duel rating the same as the ctf rating?

It's like leaving out bloodrun or furious heights in duel..

I'd like to share an interesting point.

The other day I was watching FACEIT sunday duel cup with my father, and the first thing he said after listening to ins was:

"Damn that kid needs to stop jacking off"

He meant that as an observation, he said that kids who masturbate several times a day but get no sex whatsoever (eg: NERDS (eg:INS)) tend to have a very loose torso and throat, hence their constant ivejustgotoutofbed-speech, which is so fucking annoying and brings the level of the FACEIT stream so down it's heartbreaking.

So why not hire someone a bit more professional/knowledgeable/decent and energetic rather than Ins?

If you're going to stick to ins, then at least make him sign a contract where he's legally obliged to masturbate no more than 2-3 times per week, then start asking people whether they see any improvement.

If you're going to stick to ins, then at least make him sign a contract where he's legally obliged to masturbate no more than 2-3 times per week, then start asking people whether they see any improvement.

We've solved the problem with ddk and ZeroQL. Ins is still work in progress.

what? r u aware ppl dont like zeroql?

I am aware people dislike him because of his cheating history. I hope they do appreciate the fact that he is the one that makes every Sunday cup stream possible, as well as the fact that he has brought them hours of entertainment through his videos.

roychez, one question:

is there any significance behind calling this season "road to quakecon" ?

i know that quakecon comes up, but are you gonna reward the seasons winner with a quakecon trip instead of money?

im just curious. and i can imagine a quakecon trip is very expensive, so its unlikely. and you should hold back admitting its not possible

btw fix tearing on stream
http://i.imgur.com/azEDfor.jpg

Nice irony since it says "NoTear" right in the corner.

You make it sound like he does that for free and it isn't a great career development opportunity that many others could do and would love to do if they had the chance. I'm sure FaceIT.tv would still be going if he wasn't around...

But enough about cheats - YAY for CTF!!!

LMAO

So you support ZeroQL publicly on your self-claimed "quest to maintain and uphold a professional standard"? (quote from ddk's forum thread asking for copyright free music)

ZeroQL caught cheating, but gets unbanned. The ESR community thought negative about that.



I have contacted you months ago about my case, being banned, to at least show my evidence VODs to proof my innocence. Also since I have played together with ZoOt in one of the early HoQ 4v4 CTF seasons, I expected a bit more of support. Afaik you replied on a private message, that such things are none of your business, and that you don't have time and so on for that kind of stuff. I can understand that.

Still banned, since 07.10.2012.



If you were strict with your opinion about handling and being associated with players categorized as cheaters that may harm your reputation, then you should not work with ZeroQL. But if you aren't strict about this, then you could give me and others the time slot to discuss on your stream these ban-cases based on shaky evidence. I'm not the only one.


Is it that what you call professionalism among your company?

gym ins

ROFL.

could be btw, but could also be complete BS. funny nevertheless :D

Call the police!

Watching FACEIT with my father.......MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

good move to give courtyard a chance instead of ironworks!

putting ironworks back instead of Japanese Castles would be even better...

back off satanas !

said dem0n lol

Needs more random powerups.

No!!! Japan is really the best most enjoying map there is...

gogo vertex!

its that rail-guy, right?

i remember 2-3 years ago, one of the first streams i ever watched. was a ctf match on troubled waters. that guy had 9999 impressives i think

Rather one of the best ctf players ever. Insane rail indeed!

vertex is level 6? well i never

oh, my bad, I thought level 6 was the highest level.
strange that faceit decided to air such event tbh

haven't seen him in ages \o/

Send demos of your games on Japanese Castles to me! - http://esreality.com/post/2444482/untitled-mo...eed-demos/

Awesome Mappool!
I would like to play, but how do one get the level 6?

I hope this wont be another LAGfest as usual!!! I can watch crap SC2 and LOL in 1080+ without lag but I cannot watch QL in 720+!!!

http://i.imgur.com/Ls5QB2N.png?1

no ironworks = fail cup

allaim map is finally out!

For the longest time I thought duel players are overrating when it comes to map pools, then I took a quick peek to the CTF community.

Holy shit you guys are a disaster, each and every one of you.

CTF in QL is shit mainly because of the people that play it.

e: to clarify, this isn't just about the post you made :B

partly true, the ctf crowd is strictly divided and absolutely intolerant towards maps. it really is a miracly that there havent people been killed over ironworks yet. if everyone would start being less a dick and only played the maps they don't like CTF would be way more succesful. but that's only one reason for the miserable state, also if you are new or lower skilled you will be insulted and asked to leave pretty quickly.However it is the best mod, go to hell newfag :3

That's exactly what I was trying to say - the gametype itself maybe isn't that bad, people playing it make it bad. What's astonishing is that even CTF players are self-aware, you're a good example.
Good point (Y)

ironworks is the shittiest map Ive ever played in ctf, it's a constant lg cess in the middle with railhoes camping and then if that wasnt enough, you have basically two basedefs stacked to the roof. If by any chance you manage to steal a red, you'll still die like a scrub.

This map flows like my grandma on eminem's biggest hits.

But I still play it during clanwars. I just make sure my vomitbucket is ready and empty before readying up.

:_(

Cant agree more! Nicely said Ze dem0n!

Well said :)

You just suck at any map that wasn't in Q3.

you just suck on every map.

Go ride a pony and stfu

CA players gonna watch for dm6crossings.

why don't these things appear in the "scheduled listings"?

I'll try to do something about it.

working on mastering "troubled waters part 3" atm :3

.

players with rank 8 can't join the cup ;tt

says faceit ranking site to me, the guy who played ctf in total 188times :(

.

fat chance :<

.

don't mind me, i'm just stupid

For those of you who thought the tdm-tournament had alot of whine, you should be on IRC.

changing rules in 1 days before cup from "All players in this cup must be below FACEIT Level 6." to "Teams with an average level of 6 will be able to attend this cup." is lame as many last faceit actions.
wp phoenx pyton vampir monsterx

It's been like that since the cup was released?

what about some players not being ranked at all? like the guys from [12] team? :/ kinda strange
can you tell on what site ctf ranking based on?

they are ranked, it's just greyed out due to lack of games trough the faceit platform

"On 6 July we will be hosting a Draft Cup, in which lower tier teams can participate and play for $400. All players in this cup must be below FACEIT Level 6."
http://www.esreality.com/post/2440256/faceit-...t-pro-cup/

it says b4k4 :D is that vampir? hah... nice 2nd acc faking for lowering your team rank :/
50 bucks a lot of money. so 'hard work' these guys are ready to go through in order to attend the div2 cup is understandable...

Already pointed it out,. Apparently it's ok to smurf as long as people know who you are.

why don't you say wp nood, gohan, fulgore too?

is it cause nood is your retardussian brother or because you didnt' see that team? :D

did see them in signups.

PYTON and ph0enix allowed in tier 6 cup
sad

what the hell is going on?

\m/ http://youtu.be/1D5Sa2Yq-2g?t=10s

weri bad ctf casters

"U3a6: spinning flag"
"U3a6: just like quakcon 2010"

I laughed :D

Cup full o' dramah and a bottle of vintage whine please!

can someone explain the drama?

yeah

ctf

you're welcome

this ctf is supposed to be like div2 ctf cup and for draft team / low skill players who's got no team, so they would just singup alone, and site would create ''proper'' teams.
anyway, guys like gohann, phoenix, pyton, vampir, nood, fulgore and some others are obviously not entirely belong to the ''theme'' of the cup. for them imho there is next ctf cup, in a week from now.

well plus, site ranking on ctf is somehow seems fishy for me :)... apart from this, i dunno what else can be considered drama

thanks for summing that up

just look at some teams and you'll figure it out on your own :D

FaceIt admins:
1) Announced tier 6 DRAFT CTF cup with money prize
2) made tiers based on duel elo
3) restricted the teams by average team tier <6

top CTF players
1) are shit at duel so their duel elo is low and they got low tier on faceit
2) joined 2 teams
3) raped other teams 8-0 in 10 minutes

Our elos are based on all game types, not just Duel.

that's why two TOP(i mean top15 or so) and few div1 players are allowed, right

Indeed, because it is not only based on CTF.

and you think it's okay?

I do not, hence why I have been spamming on IRC that we'll put extra rules in if there is a next time.

you had enough feedback before it started and could have fixed it 9001 times...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Relax.

next time you want to target lower level players in a cash tourney just make it draft only and you'll get the better matches and happier players.

anyway, this draft should've been a draft. aka no premade teams.

Yea.. found that totally strange how its draft this draft that then day comes up and there is no draft heh... maybe faceit don't know the definition of the word draft as silly as that sounds.

still cool they did something for the ctfers =)

looks like faceit admins didnt know what draft means
http://www.esreality.com/post/2440256/faceit-...pid2440511

.

Solo probably did "fuck all" for you because there weren't any other players left. I did it myself and it worked fine.

.

why? cause we complained about an obviously failed system? dont think so. The cup just lacked an admin with real ctf knowledge

.

Faceit make every mode to be fun, watchable and professional! We gotta facyyyyyy! <3

except ctf

We'll take all feedback into consideration if we'll do another CTF cup - as long as the feedback was actually constructive. It's what helped us get duel where it is now, so hopefully CTF players / viewers will help us as well.

Cypher, Evil and dudes got duel where it is now.

The players also did their share and we are grateful that they show up to our cups every week and entertain our viewers.

m8 is wrong, faceit built it themselves

Don't underestimate your efforts! Good players is not the only component for a good show!

http://www.esreality.com/post/2445615/why-fac...rned-shit/

roychez asked for feedback. there it is.

Thanks!

lol CTF is the new lol CA

whenever i see gohann, i only see him rage

Thanks for arranging some faceit CTF, very appreciated from the CTF players. It's a shame though that we had 2 div1 teams in a div2 tournament.

I hope that faceit will implement more CTF tournaments/seasons/ladders in the future, and that if this kind of tournament happens again it will be easier to determine if anybody is able to play the cup or not.

Big props for even doing this to behin with though. Thanks!

thanks for the cup, good games :)

Go CTF :)

Despite the whinez and shit, the cup was fun to watch! That last millisecond tie on the last map was CRAZY!

Also ddk's and ins' noobie cast was hilariously funny, but please get a proper CTF caster for the pro cup, like Zoot, calipt or GreasedScotsman.

Besides all the rage i was spreading about this so far ofc im grateful faceit now also shows ctf. Next time just pls no:
- div 1 player in div 2 cup
- rules changeing 1 day before the cup starts
- casters that miss every 2nd cap and actually lack major ctf knowledge

Btw just imo the winners this week should donate their prizemoney for the next draftcup if they were fairsportsman

The cast will evolve with the time.

to cast properly ddk/ins either have to watch loads of CTF or play it themselves which is not gonna happen in the nearest future

lolCTF
lowtier ctf
oh my...

GG WP!

so what was the announcement? i had to scram before the second semi

What reason could you possibly have for calling something a Draft cup when it's not a draft?

roychez explained it here:
http://www.esreality.com/post/2445615/why-fac...pid2445624

FACEIT Draft Cup was a name we took from a different stand point. As in the NBA Draft, it is a place where young talent has a place to get to the big boys. This was our idea and nothing to do with joining the cup without a team. We should have communicated this better.

I still dont get the point of the lvl 6 restriction.
Why not 1 pro 2 mid 1 nub (or semiliar) like a usual draft?
It's also more attractive to watch if a 'pro' is in the team.

crap imo, i mean there are still clans arround that aren't div 1 and they want to play as a team(12,z1s,qplet,impressive,efix aso.), why not give these teams a chance to play a cup? And imo its still nice to watch if u got just mid or lower skilled ppl along as u keep teams equal. But Python and Phoenix, gohann aso. completely fuck it up with their lack of sportsmanship just to get 25$.....sad really sad

Cant agree more! Hope faceit wont allow these sad so called div1players at the pro cup..... the cup was fun though but only in the fking end all other matches especially in the beginning were complete rape matches...

Thanks Faceit and a big thank you for those assholes mentioned above, you are the `best`!
