Wtf is group L? ZeRo4, dkt, ash, fiend? Seems 'a little' unbalanced.
Really impressed there's quite a few EU top players though. Hope they all make their trip happen.

M_Cypher on challonge is his real account. Same goes for the pavel, ash and spart1e accounts.

I think you have to sign up to an event from your actual challonge account right?

Jesus, this lineup is depressing. It feels unfair that all these 1700-1800 elo NA players are in but arguably the most exciting player right now (base) isn't.

He did mention that it was he wouldn't mind going but getting the funding is difficult for him (as for all Russians at the moment), especially as he would have liked to take his wife with him too.

So if you have a couple thousand dollars lying around... you know what to do :P.

why aren't players getting team sponsorship nowadays?

in the past almost every player had fnatic or mouz or something in their nickname and (I assume) they helped with the expenses.

but considering quakecon is a huge event...

or wait, what would the viewership numbers be? I watched the counter-strike dreamhack a few weeks ago and they had sponsors plastered all over the place. if only quake got 1/10 of that attention...

Also keep in mind those are sign-ups not accepted players. 65 sign-ups and 32 will be selected. Regardless, yes I wish base (and a few others) had signed up, but there is a pretty good turnout otherwise.

Aye. Sign-ups closed this Tuesday.

The dates were advertised in the original announcement, the rules, and there was a twitter countdown every week for the past month.

Is it possible to make this years qcon less awkward?

Just asking!
Because the way you guys act is the way I would act if I had to talk to my doctor about a bleeding anus.

Oh and even more important is the fact Tim Willits is a giant douche.
Don't let him on stage or the "rewatch" value drops to below zero.
