When are the times for us european's to watch?
And if you check ESL TV homepage you will find for each program "language: EN"
seriously, i also dont know all those different timezones but it takes less than a minute to find out the answer to your question on google...
lazyboy
too bad its not cpma :(
Jeez|-)!
lold
BRICKS HAVE BEEN SHAT
Vo0's your daddy!
Would be the same as letting Ferrari send 18 drivers in the Formula 1...
Which is at least one EG player.
Still there is no other organisation with more than one player in the tournament except EG.
My intention was to point out that a rule about how many players a single organisation can send into a tournament could help keeping up the competition (I mean the comp. between the organisations, not the players)
The last matches I've seen (few weeks/months ago) they weren't that promissing.
it is very very unlikely anyone else is gonna even have a chance against him
http://www.quake-live.tv/live.php -> They are probably going to show rapha's first match now.
;__;
Thanks!
