yes, it was unexpected this time. we didn't miss any flight or train o/
the lan was great, but we just couldn't play on our level at all, so no can do I guess.
at lan edges are smaller than online as we saw that there were more (?) 4-2 games than 4-0. at least I felt like it. first I was about to whine about monitors when I saw that epsilon was using 3-4 CRTs few times (against us and in the final). anyway thanks to toss for giving me CRT at least once ! (in epsilon game) it just felt a bit bad when we know that some player(s) can't do pretty much anything with a tft and when we play them we find out that they're using many of them. I can tell to guys who're saying it doesn't make a difference, it makes a HUGE difference. if im right BB wasn't totally quiet about the monitorthingie either.
anyway was nice to meet ppl again. had nice time because of chmpp being wasted twice and twidi extremely wasted once :p
where's our online only -award btw?! wp all, especially polagz. we were at least totally surprised :S

vitu vitu
!
considering the monitors are shitty, i wouldn't want to play on them if i didn't have to
pretty damn unfair that they got to use CRTs
and butchji is a good example who aims so much better with a CRT. can't blame him, TFTs sucks in my opinion :/
I could play CRT vs vae - was nice
Everyone crt or tft, thats how it should be.
And don't start telling me there were that and that many computers and only that many tfts, cos I don't give a shit.
that was kinda new to me :)
Where is my cookie?
too bad i missed u guys, stop hiding !
Hello
fucking onliners!
ps. i never whine about "laggers" online and neither do i lag because i have constant 48ping to 99% of servers i play in
But its the taking part that matters I guess...respect anyway :)
There should be either a choice to play on TFT/CRT or let everyone play on a TFT.
Kind of a fuck up by the staff at this point imo.
The only reason Epsilon got them was as a concession because BB wanted to reschedule the WB final. Would you have rather we gave Epsilon a forfeit in the final?
You did the best you could at the time.
i think;p
Pretty dick move from them, but i had to agree, even though i can't act the same towards my ex teammates zerender and butchji anymore after this. I know i wouldn't ever do such a shit thing to them.
most of us play on tft at home and are used to it, we just wanted to play there, coz most of us need much space.
and afaik 2 of you guys even played with crt aswell and hey, you slept twice as much as we did.
did i even say something arrogant? god, hate this ignorance
FACE PALM!!!!
I think he meant "sore loser".
Point is, that stupid ultimatum, CRT OR NO RESCHEDULE. Pathetic.
you wanted to reshedule, we wanted the crt spots, how can you call that an ultimatum?
awwww david was ill, so what? snoop was also ill, he even could hardly speak.
just accept that you lost, coz we played better
its over n u lost.
well done epsilon :D
1. snoop was ill too the whole weekend but we didn't think it was time to complain, it could happen to ANYONE
2. NOONE said you can't use CRT aswell. TosspoT said that both teams can have CRT's, IF THEY WANT. I can't really remember anyone of you wanting one. So why the whine now? This is just a poor move of you and I feel pretty disappointed, I didn't expect this. I don't think anyone of us acted arrogant or something like that through the whole event.
Anyway, nice games, good sportsmanship Wing, Xylos and the others, seems like you can't handle losing afterall :(
Oh btw, me and butchji missed our trains :)
btw nice organising at cc5 =)
monitors.. pfff.. worst excuse ever LOL
(others were lan-prooven already, right?)
Anyway, the thing about CRTs sounds kinda unfair to me. But it also explains why epsilon was so superior compared to poor online shows.
The adminsshould get more CRTs for the next LANs, because there are many ET players at least (and apparently cod also) that realize the difference!
Also it might be hard for some ppl to proove their real skills playing on a crappy tft. I guess u could see the difference in butchji's performance between the 2.
i could do it for longer but LCD feels like shit and I play for fun, I'd rather enjoy my CRT than spend ages on a shitty LCD
with all this drama I don't know what to think though
seriously ridiculous
instantly from 35-40% to 45-50% ;_;
atleast I saw the tech team and all the other admins working all the time helping anyone who asked for help. definately gotta give lots of credit to all of them for their good work
*ding*
we played our groupstage games and the game against mamut on tft and we were, ofc, able to perform good against mamut too and even had our strongest moments there.
when there were only 4 teams left (bb, impact, mamut and us), teams were asked whether they wanna play on crt or lcd, impact played on crt eg and BB had 2 crts too but they could have got more if they would have wanted to.
and btw, BB played on crt during the groupstage and clown said the monitors absolutely suck.
smoking being allowed inside was the most annoying thing in the past
hopefully next time they are able to arrange monitors better
wzzrd should get new screens :( TFT's would be fine with 4:3 aspect ratio
imo widescreen is better to play on, it's just a shame that CRT is infinitely better technology
Most of the new TFTs can do this afaik, atleast the newer Samsungs and HP can do it. So I really hope they get some of those for the next event. :)
Edit: The native resolution is 1680x1050@60hz. I'm playing 1024x768 on it though and the picture quality is excellent (native reso looks a lot better still, but it feels laggy ingame)
My LCD is 2ms g2g, back then I bought the "LCDs are just as good as CRTs now" hype and went back to CRT after a few months.
as for the "if we reschedule, we get the crt's" thing, I can't say much about it cuz I wasn't there, but I DO know there were enough crt's for BB to play on them as well. And besides that, some didn't even want to play on the crt's. Snoop for instance didn't want to play on crt and kept playing on lcd.
This is just sad loser whine.
then take the new crt to the table and plug it in
and then exec the cfg you use at home on your crt and voila
done in 5 mins.
+ I doubt admins would be happy about it.
and tbh if you want a crt and there are stil free ones the admins should simply get you one if the opponent is allowed to play with them too
kinda confusing me :P
We had plenty of PC's free for BB to be placed and CRT's were also an option as we had a few spare ones.
Moreover, I know that I didn't hear any complaint from the BB players when they were setting up. And I was there helping dAvid and mAus solve fps problems.
:XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
you might like a CRT more ye, but it's a LAN, online you can play with anything you want ^^
wp anyway, gl at the army !
I even prefer to play with TFT because I got the same one at home :-)
If I move from CRT back to tft, it does effect alot for my performance.
So, everybody should have CRT instead of TFT at lans, because if someone can have CRT and other can't, it's just lame. (except the guys, who like to play more whit TFT.).
I miss playing with 120 hz on my CRT @ 1280x960 though. What I don't miss are the headaches and eye strains. Or the bending desk cause it weighed like 100 pounds. Lol
