Dreamhack QL Final Standings: Av3k Wins!

image: voxydx

Poland Av3k won the Dreamhack Quake Live Tournament after beating Sweden Z4muZ in what started out as a complete runover by the Polish player. After winning the first map and almost securing the victory on the second map, his mouse died and he chose to replay that second map. Z4muZ couldn't change the inevitable though, and while putting up a good fight, Av3k was simply better. The third map was a walk in the park for the Pole.
This concludes our coverage of the Dreamhack Quake Live competition. If you missed some of the big games, you might find them by browsing through the VODs of ustream.tv and levelupyourgame.

Poland Av3k € 2500

Seems like Russia Cooller is back as he ran over Sweden fox. Also underdog Poland Av3k seems to be an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. The quarterfinals should be finished by the end of the day. Belarus Cypher wasn't able to continue his success after Dubai by stranding between 5th and 8th place.

Update: The schedule of Friday is looking like this:
10:00 CET Stermy vs. Z4muZ - Delayed because Z4muZ has problems with his mouse.
11:00 CET Cooller vs. Av3k
14:00 CET 3rd place
14:00 CET Final

If you missed the games from Thursday you can still watch some recorded VODs on ustream.tv and levelupyourgame.

Looking good, whats the prize purse for this QL tournament?

Parent
av3k for the finals!
imho kinda expected av3k would do good, fox has had his time, rapha would win if he was there.
i dont think rapha would win, cooller would beat him if he was playing near to his best
Parent
Ye, fox had his time. Very long ago. (few months in Dubai)
Parent
underdog avek? :XD pls
av3k underdog

n1 strenx , link1n peut mieux faire l'ami
av3k underdog, I lolled. He was maybe considered the underdog the first time he wrecked fatal1ty on the world stage, but by now he is easily one of the top 3 players in this competition :P
He sucked big time lately till his Zotac cup win.
Parent
According to his latest achievements he kinda is, like Cooller was in Dubai
Parent
fair enough, but didn't he get banned from events for a while because of something he said to another player? :D I haven't followed Quake recently unfortunately :X
Parent
Ye I started recently, so I could be mistaken on some parts of course!
Parent
Ah I see, well the coverage so far is great, keep up the good work! :D
Parent
Thanks! Tomorrow you'll be able to watch the semifinals and finals with DJWheat (great shoutcaster)
Parent

Parent

Parent
Exceptions prove the rule.

who cares? you can cheer for estonian players! oh... wait... you can't ;(
Parent
its not like you won anything, av3k did
Parent
don't act like youi don't understand the idea :P
Parent
don't act like youi don't understand the idea :P
Parent
Never supported any football or other sports teams? Ever?
Parent
You compare sports to some nerd-game.
Even if i support something i dont make thousand journals about it. Or reply to every guy who doesnt support av3k :D
Parent
Whats wrong with the comparison?
Parent
If you are even asking it then there is no explanation needed.
Parent
Some people dont like watching sports. They enjoy watching e-sports. Can't say im one of them, but the point is still there. I just find it irrelevant - different people have different opinions. What makes yours right?

Besides its a gaming community, if you dont like gaming discussion, fuck off.
Parent
I am not gonna argue with a gamer like you + Its friday night - means PC + prac for you but party + drink for me.. thats how it is :/
Dont get mad because you are a nerd gamer who likes to spend his nights watching e-sport. I dont think my opinion is right but thats how i think and if a gamer like you cant stand it then i dont care. I expect a reply from you because a serious and mad nerd like you simply cant let me have the last word :DD
Parent
You still at home?
Parent
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I'm afraid ive most likely got much more of a life than you buddy.

I dont have a clan to prac with, because I dont play much ET anymore, an hour or two a week unless im home from uni for the weekend. Infact id put money on you playing more games and going out a lot less than me ^_^.

I did say I prefer to watch sports, like rugby but im guessing reading is a struggle, thats alright though thats probably coz of all the socializing, right?

Parent
Erm, no that was my point :(


hehe silly nerd doesnt realize hes a nerd :(

poor you :(
Parent
FUCKING EXCELELELNT CUNZTILLA!
Parent
whats the difference between idiots running after a ball and when they finally got it kicking it away and some guys playing a video game behind his pc?

your the retard here thinking if a person doesn't do a activity which happens in your stereotype world it's nerdish

Parent

Parent
hahahaaha xDDDD fucking 100% true
Parent
what's so strange about it?
Parent
who cares? you can cheer for estonian players! oh... wait... you can't ;(
Parent
looks like underdog av3k is pwning everyone :XD
all rail no brain
Parent
:XD

u must be real quake expert
Parent
you obviously aren't :DD
Parent
I'm not, but Im in enough to know that av3k is pwning most of big lans since couple of years alredy and calling him an underdog and allaimnobrain is rather not a good idea
Parent
First, he *is* an underdog because his latest results were far from good. Secondly, "all rail no brain" is one of Cooller's famous quotes...
Parent
he won last dreamhack, isn't it enough to put him in favorites of this event? :XD

and about the quote i didnt know it so I failed here, but as i wrote im not an expert ;)
Parent
He's still not in the top seeding group. But perhaps underdog was a bit too much :P
Parent
what about Z4muz seeding ;P
Parent
Ye also about the same ^^
The 3rd place finals should have been the finals!
Parent
Finals delayed?
yup, 1 h + stermy got sound probs
Parent
GOOO Av3K GOO POLAND
=DD

I wanted to post something like that!
Parent
I fragged fatal1ty at a pub yesterday.
cooller RAGED
Too bad he didn't vs. av3k ^_^
Parent
expected final cooller vs av3k, too bad they faced each other already in semi
av3k vs Z4muZ: First map: 14-2
ye, rly guud : p
Parent
lol domination for av3k, av3k won 14:2 at one map ;D
5-5 second map, avek camped teleporter five times and zaimuz ran into it :/

edit: 6 times now lol
Parent
lol did you see that teleporter restart bug =o , thought that would be fixed by now
Parent
yeah, bad luck for zamuz, he was gaining momentum :D
still deserved win for avek though.
Parent
wtf is up with av3k's mouse oO
built-in aimbot bugging out :x
Parent
wp av3k
Underdog pwned the whole shit there.
true! unexpected? : D
Parent
Much-deserved win for av3k, though in all honesty there was not much high-level participation in this event. Kinda wish more elite players had shown up just to make things more interesting :D
Rapha wasn't there, but aside from that there were a lot of top players.
Parent
I guess he doesn't know the QL top scene.
Parent
Guess so ^^
Parent
i think what he really means is it was disappointing not to see mAus there.

:]
Parent
BUT HELLOO?!?!?!?

FATAL1TY MOST AWESOME PLAYER EVAR WASNT THAR!!!1!
Parent
He was!!!!!111!1!11
Parent
this tournament had all the best players except for rapha, noctis, k1llsen and Vo0
Parent
I completely missed cypher and fox lol, all I saw were av3k, stermy, and cooller -.- Reading fail
Parent
vo0 plays ql now? :o
I wish ql had promod then I would play it so much more. :(
Parent
yeah Vo0 plays QL and he's actually rather good at it, took a map from rapha and had a very tight game vs chance, lost the decider map by 2 frags after OT in ztn. Had he won he would've qualifed for the IEM US finals :z
Parent
Dreamhack :D
coooler true winner
z4muz fair player
Av3k little kid
but still the little kid own true winner
Parent
why is there ALWAYS mouse/hardware probs? x-]
and a reconnect fixes it!
Parent
