Dignitas wins Multiplay i32

Multiplay's i32 LAN is well underway, with just the final of the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars tournament remaining to be played. With only 4 teams entering the competition it took place in a double elimination format, with Europe Dignitas defeating Greece Greek Operation Forces in the Upper Bracket final on Refinery. With GROF then defeating United Kingdom {SAS} with easy to secure their place in the grand final, and a guarentee of £750 for 2nd place.
The final will see the 2 teams battling it out for £2000 & 6 Saphire graphics cards, courtesy of Activision and Sapphire, and will be shoutcast live at 19.30 CET by TosspoT and Deman, and can be accessed through either the QuadV or Multiplay website. Packard Bell have provided computers for both teams to use for the final.

Due to the double elimination format, GROF must win both Salvage and Sewer in order to take victory, whilst Dignitas only needs to win 1 map.

whats wrong with number of teams ?

really expensive for anyone outside the uk, and pretty expensive for those within
Parent

Parent
Gratz Huggo n teh rest of digimons
who won?
dignitas won the first map

they set around 12 minutes on salvage, we didn't manage to beat it, but got near last objective atleaST>(
Parent
hehe wp :)
Parent
We failed, so can we have a rr please? :D

gg and wp
was that a joke, rufio? :)

If you'd watched the cast you'd understand that we had to replay the first GDF round of Salvage because senji kept getting kicked by PB and reconnecting. However even though the admin apparently decided this before the end of the round, we weren't told and had to play out the round which we then thought we had won. Whether we'd of had to replay if we hadn't defused Dignitas' plant on 3rd stage with 1second left after 6mins is another question...
Parent
yeah not the best admin. The admin came to us and told us to replay we were already rdy to fullhold and play sewer :P
Parent
gg grof, wp

ashame we had to replay, but i hope u understand that fullholding 6v5 isn't that hard :) - it was the admins dicision, we didn't sugest it and we were told they had decided to replay early in the round.
If your first plant had blown there wouldn't have been a replay. That's why we aren't happy with it, because they should have told us to stop playing early in the round, when he first got disconnected. When it happened online like it did to us last time we played you in ESL nothing happened about it.
I hope that you understand that its nigh on impossible to do 2 fullholds in a row on Salvage even when opponent has 5 for 1/2 the time.

I don't blame you at all for wanting to replay, I don't think its fair that you had to play with 5, but it punishes us for something which wasn't at all to do with our team.
Parent
its all about 50/50 tbh
Parent
Yes, unfair....yes....
Parent
So you think in all games when 1 player has a problem that you should replay? If you're player gets injured in a soccer match then thats too bad, he can't continue to play. It's the eSports equivilent.
Parent
Connection problems, broken leg, yeah I can see the similarities...
Parent
It's just an analogy :o)
Parent
In both cases the player is unable to continue to play the match, or has a disadvantage while playing
Parent
well if you consider a 5v6 match to be fair, or fullholding a team 6v5 to be impressive then i can't take that away from you :). I find it quite funny how your teammates came over after the final and said "good game guys, well played - not your fault that pb fucked up" and still you are trying to convice a community site that playing 6v5 is so impressive.
Parent
Read up "I don't think its fair that you had to play with 5" and I don't think that I said I considered it impressive that we fullheld you. Nor have I said that it was your fault that PB is shit. I'm more annoyed that PB wasn't disabled originally and that it wasn't stopped half way through meaning that we thought that we had won that round with our defence. If it happens online you don't replay, but in this case that wasn't true.

I suggest that you reread the stuff that I write before trying to make out that I've said something which I didn't. Even with that fullhold Dignitas still had a much greater chance of winning anyway.
Parent
"So you think in all games when 1 player has a problem that you should replay? If you're player gets injured in a soccer match then thats too bad, he can't continue to play."

so its just too bad for us that we are playing with 5v6? sounds like you don't care if its 6v1 or 6v6 u just wanna win without caring if its fair or not.
Parent
In EMS we played you with 5v6 on 3rd stage of Salvage defence and didn't do anything about it. How you getting 2 chances to attack against us can be considered "fair" for us is beyond me.
I think that the round should have been restarted at the start not later on, or senji should have made sure PB was working in warmup so that it could be fixed before we started.
Parent
Not a very good one though. In football if an injury happens play gets stopped. If you want to whine about it whine at the fact that SD didn't include pauses.
Yes the admin should have said half way through; which I admit was very poor admining. However it happened and theres nothing that can be done about it... basically shit happens, but shame it was for that amount of money from your perspective...
I wanted Dignitas to kick your ass anyway just for the record :P
Parent
We're not bothered about it :p Was an awesome game, if not the best game i've ever played.
Parent
Oh fair enough. Chris said you were whining about it... I didn't watch it myself, had better things to do ;D
Parent
Fuck off blaming me...
Parent
Well, we don't like the fact that we had to play the full round and then get told after it was over...like you said yourself, that's bad adminning.

I don't mind personally, it was my first time on LAN, so was great :P We learnt a lot playing together here as well, so we don't mind losing so much.
Parent
didnt know you were going as i had free CB tickets but didnt bother :(
Parent
:( met munchies and reload from et which was nice

never got to speak to senji really, he's a bit more quiet than the others :<
Parent
yeah forgot munchies was going to :( yeah reload is a nice chap he was the only one to speak to me from the team at cpc3 :P
Parent
he only play 2 mins of the map but yeah admins should have said after 2nd or 3rd crash or even better SD should add the damn pause function:)
Parent
No, I think you should have signed up to admin the event, then you could have played dignitas as many times as it took to win surely? Because that IS fair :P
Parent
ballprick weren't admin?!?!
Parent
gg dignitas, was a nice game except for the restart but i think it wasn't we fullheld because it was 5v6 at sometimes.
And admin should have say it earlier because its quite shit if u play gdf 2 times after each other.. tactics etc :(
gz dignitas :)
well I'd say it's easier to defend GDF two times in a row now that you know how the opponent attacks, not how the opponent defends...
Parent
unexpected
demos plz

gz dignitas, was great :)
Like anyone can get me to believe this bjorn person showed up at lan. Conspiracy for sure!
Yeah, I mean don't waste energy!!!
Parent
known teams always get advantage from admins ;).
Was a nice game to see live
Would you have made a different decision?
Parent
I would've cut the game off after the first 1/2/3 kicks :o
Parent
I would have got naked
Parent
I would have put finger or two up my own bum...
Parent
yes, you make decision wen happen. Not wen game almost is over. At this way dignitas allready could plan more on there last defence tacs.
Parent
what happened?
Parent
I was amazed over GROF's poor start, I mean digi almost got it all after 6 mins on salvage, and they did the first two on 4 mins :o

They did a good job after the restart though =)

gg, entertaining to watch
wp dignitas, sad there were only 4 teams..
8 at polylan!
Parent
black people never win
