I especially like the carefully selected pictures, designed to give the players a distinguished, gentlemanly aura of sophistication.

LOL at Sothis pic... :)

lmao at pictures

weakest group tox should be high seed not top seed.

Strenx: Wanna know how i got these scars?

LOL SOTHIS YESSSSSSsss

Fazz picture is $$$, this wont ever get old.

Ad tox, he himself admitted that his style is somewhat flawed (didnt use exactly this word) due to his low ass sens. Hes basically not comfortable taking some sort of fights, because hes not agile/fast enough and prefers to stack up and then choose when to take a battle ('play safe'), even if its against the same stack. I think that makes him predictable, for the top players at least.
Ad tox nr2, ratings. I know this 'why 1/2/3/4/5, why not 1/2/3/4/5' is expected, but how does one get 5 points in experience? Hes been around since the quake stone age.
Also, dem0n is around for much, much longer than 'early 2010'.

But a really good hype read, keep it coming.

Tox said he isn't comfortable taking close range rl fights online. Was when he spoke about the ra area at cure.

This.

Gave tox a 4 in experience because of his lack of ql experience. He only ever had stints of a few months playing with big periods of inactivity inbetween.
And dem0n wasn't playing duel until 2010.

I like your ratings. Maybe 5 in tactics for fazz, but 4 is also ok.

toxic who is known for his suffocating control

This is only true for q4 though. In q3 and ql it’s a different story, since he was always playing more “safe” and never cared for the items and controlling the map as much (or he couldn’t, because q3 and ql have a different playing style).

Ye I agree. All I've ever seen Tox do in QL is play passively defensive, leaving items up and putting everything on one big fight after stacking 200 armour from yellows.

That's true, I meant he is 'known' for his incredible control, just like rapha is 'known' for being a boring +back player. Neather of these are true of course (in quake live at least) but still get repeated very often ;-)

I liked it, allthough its lacking any predictions :D

One thing that bothers me though is:

"Afterall you only have to win three maps to win a match."

yes, but one map gets voted out by your opponent at some point, so you need to be good at 4/7 maps :D

Easy, abort all your games, noone will know your good maps!

IN DISGUISE... i like it...
I'd still train 4 maps though ;D

[ + ] for the pictures.

Fazz's glasses allow him to see 4 steps ahead.

epic read!!!!

cant wait for the others

I'd pay to see fazz and sothis make out.

o.0

GRAVY IT UP

I'd pay you to consume a can of surstromming

lol Swedish food. Yuck! Sick! Gross!

it's not like you danes can cook anything that's not a dessert :D

Are you saying desserts are not good?

wasn't sure how to post a .gif from a website. ;(

oh I'm stealing this one for the future use

I'll allow it if you would tell me how to embed a .gif from a website onto the forums! :P

you need to download it onto your drive. type [img1] and post. THEN you edit the post and under the text box you can see some picture adding options. pick the picture you want in there and choose place image in the second option menu. '[img1]' is a tag that will display your picture.

Ahh, I got it! So it's just like posting a picture, then. :D

Thanks!

They probably wouldn't allow a GIF this big though. This is why I distributed it from my dropbox in the first place. I couldn't really find a satisfying way to reduce the size further.

Ahh, that's a good point.

Wasn't sure where I got it. Just saved the link a few weeks ago, or something like that. :)

It's a good .gif :D

LOL
wtf is that? the swedish team after their victory in ESWC '04?

Haha, you're off by 9 years. ;)

That's 4oldmen after recent prague LAN (Left noctis, right fox, lying tybalt, jumping fazz). The corresponding youtube video was posted in a majored ESR news.

*yumping

no, that would be this: http://i39.tinypic.com/2yyw7f9.jpg

If he plays like yesterday vs cypher he wins his group without much effort.

lmao @ fazz and sothis

:DDD

Great job, well researched, very well written!

Great job, looking forward to the rest of groups.

woot

Nice, fazz fighting skills are a solid 4 today tho.

Super Koziol used to be a hater, but now he is kinda cool and doing something nice. I like.

As a Canadian who grew up 10 min away from the filming location for Trailer Park Boys, my heart was warmed when I saw Fazz's picture :)

TPB FTW

oh man

one of my fav series of all time.

really great stuff. thx for the good read!

Some nice info, interesting to read. Thanks twistah.

Just watched fraze - cypher VOD, so amazing games. Must see.

Moar

I like this

Sry guys these things take so much time, couldn't finish any other parts because I favored practising :(
Maybe I'll write something tomorrow while traveling.

When I see you here I kinda forget that you're actually attending. Good luck there. But... did you consider retiring?

trolls, "you have to feed those little COCKSUCKERS"..
