6 minutes on Supply, 5:37 on Goldrush it takes something special to set those times no matter who you opponent is. When it’s the team that tossed you aside at CPC2 it’s just a little bit sweeter, are the Dignitas boys back in town?
TLR to their credit did lose dAv1d from their standard line-up, however with the greatest respect to the Belgian he’s not Night and he’s not r3vers, nor is he practicing for Quakecon Quakewars. With the exception of Reload, the nation of Estonia has left Dignitas and when that means, the most exceptional players the game have ever seen have left your line-up then it’s a big transition period.
Since TLR defeated Dignitas at CPC2 the side has been nothing more than a lame duck, paddling from one defeat to another. TLR, Impact, Cadre, pro5 all found the key to unlock the Dignitas defence, it’s been blamed on Nights departure, it’s been blamed on senji's illness and its also been often blamed on sol joining the roster. So many defeats had left their mark on confidence as well as the constant question as to their ability to play with the big boys once again.
There can be no better opponent to make your statement of intent against than TLR. Winghaven's four man support on Radar back in April was the puff that brought the house down, and TLR's reputation has grown ever since. Most notably this was the side that earlier this week avenged their Eurocup defeat to evolve with a 3 map victory in the QCup itself. For those reasons victory will have been as sweet as ever, and this is what sol had to make of it:
If it was a sluggish victory, if it was a three map victory or if it was against any other line-up it might not mean a thing. However official results, and in the QCUP, money, speak louder than anything else. The two teams who didn’t need money for their CDC attendance would have seen the spoils of tonights labour go into their back pocket. This cash game was the crowning factor for sitting back and congratulating them on a hard worked victory. Will they regain their CDC Crown?

nice read :)
I'm sure there'll be a replayer tomorrow, I'll send you an IP tomorrow, cause I'm too tired to watch it now :'(
:]
honestly i was surprised that you are a woman and i was surprised of your age. I'm glad to see that not only kiddies are around here.
btw long long buddylist...
but 80% of those ppl I know even good:)
now you added me. hopefully I'm not one of the 80 % ;) So i feel somehow honoured :D
TLR's attitude going into the game and even during the game was evidence enough that they were not going to win tonight.
Was one of the worst finals for me, we weren't motivated enough to play today, the pauses and the restarts didn't help us so much and to sump up our attitude wasn't the best.
I'm sorry, it's all that I can say
Yes, I'm a whiner, yes, I'm an idiot, yes, I'm a weirdo.
Once again, thanks for presenting ET in such a beatiful, unique way, after people experienced the virtuosity of today's game, I'm sure ET will live longer, fitter, happier....
P.S.
This column was sooooooooo necessary.
Cointoss is 50/50 anyway and no one ever said that the winner of the cointoss gets to pick the map to be played. The rules are clear: "The winner of the coinflip eliminates the first map (...)". If there is an odd number of maps to eliminate from, the loser of the cointoss gets the last choice.
Why would it matter who won the cointoss anyway, given that it's absolutely random? The rule saying that the cointoss loser gets the last choice is in no way worse from the rule favouring the winner.
The rule stating "the loser of the cointoss gets the final choice" is as fair as "the winner of the cointoss gets the final choice", since the outcome of the cointoss is random and independent of the players.
Thinking that a winner of the cointoss should eliminate last is wrong, since in that case this definition is open to interpretation. You could as well define the "winner" as someone who predicts what the result of cointoss is NOT going to be, which takes as much luck as predicting the result.
I mean you had the change to set up the back defense reasonably and still Dignitas was able to finnish the map really fast.
It wasnt as if the restart was the choice that Dignitas would have been full held at the first stage or smth.
It's obvious you don't know shit about Croatia, we're a country that earns money on fat, white, retarded fucktards like you, because your little ugly island country doesn't have any sun, or a beach, or anything worth attention. Your pathetich try to insult me by insult my country failed misserably, guess your british humour is outdated, try returing to the 70's when Pink Panther was popular.
Anyway, it's better to be full of shit, than a self centered, ego-istic bastard, who thinks he owns the world which occupies all the way to those few meters beyond your porch.
EOD from my side, I feel more comfortable talking to people who can actualy reply me with something worthwhile reading.
What should I know about Croatia? Your 17% unemployment rate? The fact that many of you emigrate to Ireland to work here? Even those of you with degrees struggle to get more than a menial job here, due to the fact that your degrees have about as much international recognition as a piece of toilet paper. Croatia must be a really strong competitor on the global stage, you are weighing in with a whopping E9,700 GDP per capita afterall (53rd in the world by the way), might impressive. Your average wages must be around E200 per month, right? Sounds like Croatia is an awesome place. I'm assuming your point is that you're lucky enough to have a decent climate, therefore you attract some tourism? Sounds impressive, your claim to fame is something you have absolutely no influence over - weather.
I'm not British, Ireland is not in Great Britain, nor is it in UK. Funny joke though! I think my attempt at insulting your country was pretty successful, especially second time around.
Croatia - Total Area - 56,542 km²
Republic of Ireland - Total Area - 70,273 km²
You were saying?
In other words, you can't actually debate your point at all, so you'd rather not get drawn into a discussion over it.
Disclaimer for those not taking my reply with a pinch of salt: Not that your country is relevant at all, it's just amusing - you're easy to wind up - you've shown your patriotism in previous comments, I knew you'd react to it. Actually on topic: Maybe look at tonight's events with a little objectivity, it might help, you're not always the victim.
Anyway, with your comment you just show what an ungrateful, spoiled and a racist person you are, involving things like wages and country standings into a disscusion which has absolutely nothing to do with it. But that doesn't surprise me, since most people who spend much time online are usualy lucky enough to have rich parents who afford them that way of life, to live not aware of things only occupied by themselves.
I actualy don't know why am I repling to such bullshit, guess you managed to provoke me with saying I'm out of arguments...which I'm obviously, not.
I'll tell you what though, I'll try to unwind now abit, since I lost too much time arguing about something that happened and cannot be changed.
Again really wp meight, bb.
Huge difference between 14% and 17%. There are quite a few of you here, the point is that you emigrate because things aren't too rosy there. Why do you emigrate to a colder climate if yours is so fantastic? Kind of shot yourself in the foot there didn't you... I also don't believe your average wage, it's inconsistent with other countries in a similar economic situation.
See the disclaimer in my previous post. Your patriotism has been quite apparent in previous comments, I knew you'd take the bait if I provoked you, point proven. Also, it's rather hypocritical to criticise me for making irrelevant comments, while you do exactly the same thing. See your posts for examples.
See my last sentence, this is an unfounded & irrelevant assumption, not to mention the fact that it's simply incorrect.
Because you fell for the bait, who is the idiot now.
Good, do so.
You would be nr 1 without any doubts.
Really, if you think Ireland is so great, google for the stats of Flanders, and do the maths again.
Ok, so Flanders won (nr 2 in the richest people of Europe), now I can start to insult you ?
I don't nothing about your life, but I can advise you it would be usefull to leave the pc for a while.
You're flaming aCoZz about the country he lives in, hello?
People are getting banned from this because they are being racistical(?) towards jews, here's a nice idea for you; ban yourself since you're not worthy to be an admin on this site.
Edit, I am joking. But replys on crossfire make me laugh so much. People have nothing better to do :P
But if you have to choose between Ireland and Croatia then goto Ireland as Dublin - The Culture Capital of Europe
Unlucky about your loss by the way mate
You do it whereever possible. For example here:
"If you were wondering how well Quakewars was going to be received at Quakecon, you can sleep easy tonight as the signups list caught on fire with 23 teams signing up within an hour, including none other than...
But maybe I am not intelligent enough.
Here is the perfect replica example
Remember snoop had to tell him, he couldn't work this out himself!
imo if i was tlr i would quit the match!... :~<
it was rly unfair and i hope there will be a rematch or something :~<
Did you spot the hidden message?
http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=serverlist
type replay or tlr or dignitas or smth :P
i will try tomorrow^^
but sorry D. and TLR but
GER vs POR > all right snoop? ! :XD
Anyway, I am sure your dutch would suck 23 times harder than my English :(
And btw, he isnt rly stating anything, just pondering.
I didn't say he is bad in what he is doing, but i think that in this case he made assumptions where someone shouldn't do that.
However, we all have our opinions, so np4u.
I'm glad to see sol has moved on from everything I taught him. Remember sol, wax on, wax off!
If people werent opinionated tho, then this site wouldnt be here :P
epic
edit: guys u are playing in the best et clans which are out there atm so i dont understand this whine :/
I think
Pathetic though how some people react on this column :(
That's what I was talking about.
Needed more chmpp admin.
I couldn't understand what Tosspot is talking about?!? No he is not, he is better most underrated player in ET.
Who care's , if they are back to their original form? Nowadays, this isn't enough. EOT
thats the fact...
so tlr even had a forfeit (<---Right?)they had got more than 1min to plant mines and get their positions...
So why are people bitching about who won/lost.
And tbh, dignitas were a tad lucky with tlr's bad spawn times, but still was a fair game, you can whine about the roaster and stupid things like that, but everyone loses, even the "unstoppable" Dignitas team.
their kickass days are OVER!
evolve raped them .. tlr did .. night's new crew will do it, too ..
and others, too ... nP
overrated
wooot?!
boomshakalaka
care
