Parent
Who gives a fuck after what they did to Urtier?
what happened with urtier??
Parent
boycott quakecon
save urtier!
Urtier FTW, sad that the journal was removed....
idd, urtier > qcon :D
save the urtiers!
save urtier!
unleash the urtier
i loled ;D
Parent
whats all this about urtier, i was away a couple of days and already drama has happened! link or something please:[
there's nothing to boycott here guys... there isn't even proper live coverage...
quakecon without et is gay
At least for the time being, CF is the only place for seedings and results cause I have the list! Mwhahaha! o/
get some quake results :(
Parent
dosent start until 4, will keep updated as much as possible.
Parent
Are you still playing in the Quake tournament? ;o
Parent
You dont want to upset the pros? :)
Parent
Aww, that pretty much the only thing I was curious about for QuakeCon. :(
Edit, and of course the RTCW2 news!
Parent
UNEXPECTED!
Parent
If u meet United Kingdom eC4`KingBombs slap him from me and tell him some greetings :D

He will be playing in the Quad-Damage-tournament as far as i know.
Parent
of course not, you are F.E.A.R only
Parent
Thought the round of 32 was single elimination, progressing to the 16 team double elim?
Parent
omg only us-teams :< gogo dignitas pwne that biatches XD
Doesn't matter what the results are, the ruleset is incredibly retarded. That urtier stunt didn't help either :(
"oh noes etqw on qcon now et is dead all teams will go qw so they can go to qcon et is dead"

fucking retards
any livestreams?
dignitas is the only european team in the whole tournament?

gl! would be great if you guys win :d
I stand, watching, as my assumptions turn out to be correct. I shake my head in disgust, but not without an evil grin in my face.
Get a bib please
Parent
No livestream?
finally a place to find good information on what the hell is going on in dallas. This is by far the worst year of coverage.
We're here, for you holly!
Parent
Can we be expecting a livesteam sometime or all vod?
Parent
UPDATES. AND FIRE THE QCON STAFF. THEY NEED THEY CLEARLY DONT HAVE A PLAN AT ALL.
Parent
20ID Garbage Day [2-0] Car Ramrod - VoD Cast with TosspoT <- that vod is bugged map 1 and 2 is the same and the player buggs here :/

go dignitas!
yay, great that cf is providing live coverage, well done TosspoT
Reminds me of COD2 WSVG, 3 european teams and like 20 American teams, go EU <3
or better yet, Quakecon 2006 ET with 3 european teams beating every american one.
Parent
Could someone update me with the urtier story? Been away for some days and I read more and more about a picture of him or so. Anyone has got a pic? Send me a private message.
"Breaking News ALL Quad Damage matches are postponed until Friday morning at 8AM - Technical issues "

xD
need more quake streams 8<
True, but at times the framerate does seem OK. Seems to me the machine they're streaming from (Toss' laptop?) can't handle the game.
Its being updated and fixed - be sure that its not my laptop :P
Parent
If I spot your trusty Shuttle next to that sofa you're so busted. :p
Parent
It looks like the problem is a little more in depth than initially thought, its possible that it wont be fixed. Although all duplicate VOD's are getting replaced
Parent
Where's the QuadV stream when we need it... :(
Parent
That's a shame, because I just watched the "newest" VoDs (including Quad Damage with toxjq) and it's still barely watchable. ;(
Parent
The picture on the Quakecon site now features Urtier in it. ;D
kick that yankees ass :D
no et no qcon for me :U
more amarican teams? 1 European nice one
Any news on when they are finally gonna get the Quad Damage tournament underway?

Or is it just postponed till further notice?
I believe it's already started, not sure though...

There are certainly a couple of VODs of it.
Parent
I'm properly impressed by the advertisements on the GGL Wire thing. First time I've ever seen adverts on gaming shows that are both localised and reasonably mainstream (it advertises Five US, which is a digital TV channel here).
long time no seen
Parent
QuoteThis post originally contained a different version of one picture. The picture that was posted was pulled from our archives and contained Photoshop'ed changes. This was a mistake and it has been corrected. The original version is now back where it should be.

As QuakeCon's Director of Information, I personally accept full responsibility for this error. Appropriate actions have been taken. I consider the matter closed.

I would like to extend an apology to anyone whose feelings were hurt. Urtier earned his place on that stage and in the picture.

:X
Is it me or is this really vague?
Parent
diplomatic :P
Parent
Yes I guess.

No no, I can assure you nothing happend here please move along. Mistakes were made, but hey doesn't it happen to the best?

Imo it is still pathetic that they did reason or apologized properly. Any way I hope the guy who did it got slapped. Properly.
Parent
Better question why would they photoshop it for their archives?
Parent
what happened?
Parent
quite funny they removed all the comments (bad promotion?)
Parent
I agree choppy + not really anything is happening.
the quad damage rocks so far shame about the quality :< bring on the quake 3!!!
Quad Damage demos or I'll cry!
LMAO @ "In addition, one Quakeworld player has been caught cheating on LAN and has been ejected from the tournament. Through the use of custom files and a custom gui he was able to make the walls transparent, surprisingly this wasnt allowed!"
no live stream?
QuakeCon Coverage --> Watch GGL Wire coverage.
Parent
thx <3. I love watching live streams :)
Parent
it isnt live :<
Parent
I noticed that as well when updating the page. Sucks. Been looking around for live coverage, but it's hard to come by. Wouldn't mind watching Carmacks key note adress live.
Parent
Its not live, Carmack's keynote has never been live but I have a sneaky suspicion that it'll be a vod because I need to see the et and rtcw news :P
Parent
Well, so long as his adress makes its way onto the net in video format in not too distant a future, I suppose I'm happy waiting. :O)
Parent
'In addition, one Quakeworld player has been caught cheating on LAN and has been ejected from the tournament. Through the use of custom files and a custom gui he was able to make the walls transparent, surprisingly this wasnt allowed'


:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
GO DIGIMONS
wow 20id didnt win, what an chocker...
They weren't favored to win.
Parent
Hurray for Hollywood!
Parent
hmm check6, human ninja aimbot failed!
a quakeworld player? don't you mean quakewars?
no :) it was a quakeworld player in the quad damage comp
Parent
no, quakeworld
Parent
Too bad vs HOT dignitas :( Why wasn't the match casted? :(

Well gg vs 20ID in the semi, now kick some ass and win the rest!
it was casted, i dont think its uploaded yet. Will be worth watching. They are fixing the quality of the video and its taking a little longer.
Parent
Ah :) thanks, il watch it later then + add it to quakewars.no. Keep up the great casts <3
Parent
Would be good to see livesteam but the vods make up for the loss of it for a change.

Nice to see that you can't even escape cheaters at LAN's anymore either :|
2 bad digni :(
what? they can still win the tournament.
Parent
ah k thought they got knocked out by HOT but they are in loser bracket now?
Parent
This must be the most sarcastic news title ever.
:DD

"Quakecon 2007 is VOD'd" doesnt sound good :P
Parent
The US needs to play 8v5 to win? :D
omfg where've you been? :X
Parent
EU players > USA players
looks like HOT will bring back the buzzard trophy back to the USA.
what is that buzzard thing about :D?
Parent
I think Dignitas can win it, or at least take it to a second set
Parent
Doubt it. I'm pretty sure hot has never lost a round or a set before in the past 2 months including scrims. :)
Parent
Dont know whether you've watched the VOD's or not but from Dignitas point of view its certainly doable, a bit better work on the MCP on valley, a bit better medic work. They certainly didnt get raped.
Parent
to beat them twice would be quite a feat, especially since HOT doesnt look like the team to run the same strat over and over if things aren't working out well, but it should be a good game if you get around to uploading it:/
Parent
What do you mean, get around to? All the VODs are online and they've been re-encoded to fix the quality issues.
Parent
those are the only matches you shoutcasted?:/ What about the semi-finals between check6 and dignitas? or quarters between check6 and demise?
Parent
been doing quad damage all day today because it was quakewars all day yesterday
Parent
Since the only euro team was not playing et:qw... tosspot decided to cast euros that were playing quake :)
Parent
yeh like Griffin, Slasher, Thump4, Plop, Naymlis and Obsolete.
Parent
Why not stop acting stupid and check the sched for youself...

http://www.quakecon.org/schedule.php

Plus I'm pretty sure TosspoT is making it even with shoutcasts, just I think people might be more intrested in ET:QW cause it's the new game there, plus it's all over apart from the Grand Final, so now he has to cast the quad-damage matches, which are also over now.
Parent
Updates on the HOT vs dignatis match please!!!!!!!
Parent
update 1 in, final was delayed a bit
Parent
proved me wrong :)
Parent
Grand Final
7PM - Team HOT vs Dignitas

that's in a little less than 3 hours how it could it be done lol...
they just mixed up the winnerbracket with the championship bracket:

GERMAN INCOMING:
23:38] <read|Monuschaaf> ach du scheiße
[23:38] <read|Monuschaaf> verdammt
[23:38] <read|Monuschaaf> dankeschön
[23:39] <read|Monuschaaf> ich hab das winnerbracket mit dem championship bracket verwechselt
dahang :O
nice fuckup.. now im watching blizzcon because there is no livestream from quakecon !
2nd

gogo creo :)
Parent
he's owning..! but this german/korean giga shoutcaster kinda sucks.. gogo bunny!
Parent
What games does Blizzcon feature?
Parent
Starcraft Warcraft and WoW
Parent
I watched John Carmack's key note!
Parent
that WOW is fucking boring :d
Parent
didnt watch
Parent
gg toxic.
go purri! :-<
only shows one map/game from the tox and fox match :<<<
Three now :P last one is still to be uploaded I guess :o
Parent
Two more to go, watched those 3 and it is such an amazing game.
Parent
quake wars is terrible, they're lucky toss is shoutcasting or else it'd be a snore fest.
wp Malta tox! lolZ!

and valley should be double full hold, giving dignitas the win i guess, but we'll see ;c
Very WP dignitas.

TosspoT did you have an heart attack casting it?
Well played, Dignitas!
Amazing.
In the WB Final, then they went and won the LB Final, meaning they'd have to win HOT twice in the Grand Final for them to take it all.
Looks like Dignatis won 3-1 and 2-0 that means they win, correct?
Parent
i just saw their first place cheque, they won :P
Awesome job :)
gg dignatis, proved me wrong.

This quakecon coverage sucked. They need to start making improvements for next year (today).
crossfire coverage of quakecon was completely fine and the ggl vods

would you rather watch streams and whine about buffering and dire quality? actually, you probably would.
Parent
He'd rather whine about anything if it isn't exactly how he likes it.
Parent
getting vods half a day after the match is played and watching the match when you know the score isnt good coverage :( (Not toss fault though, the crossfire text coverage was very good and updated often enough)
Parent
especially when every site has results posted all over, before the vods come
Parent
hitting my reload button on my browser every 5 minutes to get a score up date in 2007 is not good coverage. Should have had live audio of the games. I really don't care much for VOD.

When quakecon has better coverage in 2002 then 2007 there is a problem.
Parent
n1 dignitas :)
Gratz d.
Amazing stuff! :D
wud hav been nice to have some form of etqw-tv, but u cant expect much with a beta :D
Doubt it would have happend even if ETQWs supported it. Q4TV and GTV werent used in the Quad Damage tourney.
Parent
did they plan 2 and just didnt cos of all the other probs, + i suppose since its 4 games switching servers all the time, bit of hassle to do tv for it.
Parent
I think they confirmed it wouldnt be used days before Quakecon. It may be down to the fact it was 4 games, however I dont think it would have been that much of a hassle to use it for Quake4 in the final.
Parent
grats dignitas!
who won the exhibition match europe vs north america? :o

and well done dignitas.
haha I remember reading americans boast on the quakecon forum that dignitas will get raped, once again europe > america
surprise surprise

europe won.... again...
lol americans.. you are all damn nabs! :D
Big grats to Dignitas!
IM PROUD OF YOU PAKI!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Baby! :) I bet bjornyboy aced in the finals! Too bad about dobble fullhold though :/ But not a suprise, valley got 4 stages and is one of the spammiest maps of all of etqw.

Anyways really WP Digimons <3 Happy that a EU team won QC! And WTF did you do on ark? that is an insane time? Did HOT go and eat burgers or something? O_o
don't be rude.
Parent
Now you're sounding like its negative to go and eat burgers
Parent
don't you have to wash your icemat or something?
Parent
:(

.. best friends 4 eva?
Parent
gratz dignitas

Congrats Dignitas. :)

ASSASSIN is from image: 4859 Liechtenstein i think.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liechtenstein
Yeah he is but I couldn't be bothered to look up the flag code :)

Edit: we've legoland but not Liechtenstein <o/
Parent
Take Legoland, almost the same :D
Parent
Jaka is still sleeping with his cheque i guess :)
No offence intended, but the Dignitas team look like an advertisment for Autism school!

o_O
How exactly was it intended then?
Parent
It was intended to not offend...
Parent
Try picking your words more wisely next time, if you actually thought it over you might've picked up that judging by appearances is silly.
Parent
my, you are a sensitive boy
Parent
No offense intended, but you're an immense retard.

See how that just doesn't work out? You just can't slap "no offense intended" in front of your prejudice and get away with it.
Parent
Its ok, I am a retard, no offence taken
Parent
Any pics of you around?
Parent
Check his profile, he's obviously owning the clubs.
Parent
Exactly, I look a twat in my photo, its just a bit of fun, lighten up :D
