Wheres Rapha?

last time I checked he's not European

Parent

oh ye

duuh

Parent

20000 dollars le quoi?

normally they get 40000$

Parent

who cares about ESL now

euro challenge, with prizes in $ - clever.

As clever as Finland

niSmO eheheheheh

Parent

Actually made me laugh hard

Parent

Who cares, there is no ET.

-1

Parent

Ga nog maar wat LoL'en gij

Parent

et or gtfo

im attending

im attending QL probably.

no et so gtfo

http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=filter

Parent

Looks like I should have started to play CS and not ET back in the days :P

Nice article, too bad there's no ET.

wow rich CS fuckers

The SC2 winner getrs 2,500 more!

Parent

wicked

Parent

tbh ESL kicked ET so CF should kick ESL as payback

why ESL should be allowed to make money with advertising on CF then?

PS: and dont show me now the filter or "Crossfire 3.2 - A Gaming Community" CF is ET!

How CF would look with 0 ET players?

isn't that a bit childish?

Parent

this has nothing todo with childish.

look how buiseness men are acting in real live.

Parent

you think cutting all ties with ESL would give a good image of crossfire and would make them take ET back again?

Parent

what for a ilusion you are creating here? U rly think that after kicking once a game out ESL rly would take it back in again ever? - i dont think so. Pointless discussion and wasting of words.

Parent

It has already happened once before

Parent

like TEK-9 people would be docile for everything :D

Parent

ESL hasn't kicked ET, it's only not included in the next EMS season.

Parent

lol que?

what's ESL????

the best gaming league in the (western) world

Parent

??????? wtf???

Parent

the best biggest gaming league in the (western) world

Parent

Considering how ET-related cups, leagues & prize payments were handled I'd say ESL is pretty fucking far from the best gaming league :D

Parent

why it makes esl bad that they wont fund game that has been un-patched for last 4-5 years & with 3000 player hideout community :P i would not put my money on shit that no-one would watch because of its asshole community :E

Parent

My point was: why bother picking up a game and run everything with minimal effort?

Of course the asshole community is gonna be all over you if you fuck things up and ignore the feedback, requests etc.

Parent

ET or gtfomf

Master duumed, is it true zsx isn't going??? Really wanted him to do well this tourney =(
will be a good tourney to follow though as well as the 1.6!

I don't know whether he's going or not :/

Parent

QuoteIt has been confirmed that United Kingdom

zsx will not attend the competition. A replacement might be found for him.

Parent

GL for

Av3k in Quake Live

looking forward to QL and SC2, hope the sc part will have a bit of coverage as well

esl = ?

et or gtfo

CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

ONLY CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

nobody gives a fuck about esl, gtfo.

False.

Parent

Great! Gonna watch everything all day long woohoooo

omg omg watching ql all day :D

Ready for CS wont miss a minute!

sc2 coverage?!

you dropped ET so not interested in any of your coverage now!!

Duumed doesn't work for ESL :p

Parent

i dont care i am simply pointing out that any and all esl coverage is now disinteresting to me :D

Parent

that shit would be normal if this situation had been @ 2004 but now.. the fact that u have invested all your money to a team that is playing unpatched & unsupported with inside community, i would just stfu and accept it :) esl has much better coverage, site & community.. something ET had @ 2004 when it was new and supported by its makers unlike now.

Parent

all my money??? dont be a dumbass lol

Parent

no im not but you sound like one

Parent

news flash for you.... yes you are!!

Parent

and you had something to say related to this post..NOT. pretty hard insults from a 30ish daddy :E you lost this one sir.

Parent

haven't hit 30 yet, couple of years to go on that one and i dont really need to bother wasting my time insulting brain dead kids like yourself

Parent

:D heavy stuff from mr mature :> insults, proof that you just lost this one

Parent

you assume there is something to win... there isn't

Parent

yeah for you there isnt anything to win :>

Parent

OH IT'S ON!

None of the streams are showing me something :(

Parent

Ye same. Ballbreaker tbh.

Parent

I'm so insanely mad right now. I think I'll step outside and molest the first raccoon I encounter.

Parent

I think you require some Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery.

Parent

No, I'm just seriously sexually frustrated. That's all.

Parent

same here, you know a solution? Or they aren't broadcasting yet?

Parent

The opening ceremony is yet to start, so we'll have to wait for that to begin (and to finish) before any games will be streamed I guess.

Parent

the first stream says that 993 people are watching :D

Parent

QL streams so not working for me

everything crashed, they are setting things back up now.

Parent

Is it naive of me to sit in front of my computer screen on time for every major LAN tournament, expecting to just see some matches without having to try out 5 different streams every 30 seconds to see if anything is actually working?

Expected this shit, watched it all to fail, took shower and made food + coffee, shit aint still working =))

Parent

esl tv working

yeah really nice QuakeLive match today.

unlucky cooller :/

Cypher was just way better :P

Parent

;DDDDD

Parent

well, I managed to get this shitty laptop to run the stream at my grand parents house and I've been sat here like a twat listening to the Level Up guys talking about shit :D

Sounds like they have finally sorted this server stuff out though so come on Spartie! :D

Where can I see CS 1.6 stream???!?!?!?!?

CS streams seem to be over for today

Parent

:(

Was looking forward to watch some nice matches. Anyway, where were they online? I've searched for them and couldn't find a stream with cs 1.6 ...

Parent

I think the studio 1 stream @ http://tv.esl.eu/de/esltv_stream/ showed fnatic vs navi a while ago, I'm not sure though but atleast it was on the studio 1 premium stream

Parent

Thanks!

You're the best!

Parent

Well, avek is raging

lol'd @ fnatic winning against navi

just came back home, heard eurosport is following demuslim. anyone knows when they're going to show their documentary?

i think we at esl announced the time of the third episode somewhere. but i cannot find them atm. i will search for them later again.

but you can wathc the first and second episode at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/IntelExtremeMasters

edit:
got it. episode 3, and i guess the next episode will be about kiev (with demuslim), has the following broadcasting schedule:

Eurosport2: 2011/02/24 at 8:30 p.m.
Eurosport: 2011/02/25 at 12:00 a.m. - 2011/03/11 (first rund + first replay)

Parent

thx!

Parent

LEVEL UP TV - VOD - Tensions rise during an intense match between the two Reason Gaming stars noctis and fazz on day 1 of the ESL IEM5 European Finals: http://tinyurl.com/67hakr9

Why did he forfeit quit on lost world?

Parent

rage

Parent

2 protoss and the rest terran, amazing x]

What's going on in the quake? I can't watch on my phone =(

noctis is being emo, cypher rapes everyone, cooller seems to be playing pretty well today.

Parent

Cheers fella, keep replying if anything "big" happens! :P

Parent

avek just beat k1llsen quite comfortably, strenx - avek coming up next!

Parent

FML strenx avek must have been fucking sick, Polska on top? :D

Parent

Still playing, dm13 atm, strenx won t7 with 1-0! 1-1 at dm13 atm. Avek's aim is off today :(

Parent

Shit! I don't want the frog to do well, he's a cunt :D

Parent

strenx won 2-0

he's first in group A :/

Parent

Shite balls

Parent

strenx won first map 1-0 in furious heights :D

Parent

Thought madix was going to beat strenx earlier, I think his nerves got the best of him :(

Parent

any streams to cs?

Thank you for results.

avek, tarson and fx will be teh winners

mhm, i played loong time in quake/QL... Maciej " av3k " Krzykowski will beat all :>>

If he wants to win, he definitely needs to step up his game. Yesterday he wasn't that convincing.

Parent

do u play sc2?

Parent

Not really, I have the game and I've seen many games/casts/day9dailies but never played a match online :)

Parent

install it and add me, we can play :D. im to lazy to watch day9 dailies, 45minutes o:. i do watch alot of streams and youtube casters tho, and ofcourse GSL

Parent

Na'Vi game starting now

Is it me or is own3d messing up? Tried multiple browsers and 2 computers but it doesn't load :o

doesn't work for me either

Parent

Had the same yesterday, then it all of a sudden worked again (after an hour of white screen).
Weird thing is that it IS working for some ppl.

Parent

Still not working for me, but there is a restreamisch thing: http://www.justin.tv/tranceh#/w/786318208

Parent

ye found that already :>

Parent

own3d works for me now

Parent

Joe said a while ago in stream that theres some kind of problem in amsterdam area which should get fixed as soon as possible

Parent

Ah ok, well whatever it was, it is fixed now. Let's hope they keep it up :P

Parent

eventhought I find CS a bit boring (well, tbh, more than just a bit, but dont tell to anyone), match SK gaming vs mTw was one hell of an entertainment :)

same for navi vs mym. well played by mym at the beginning but navi was too strong at the end.

btw: the next matches should all be great :)

Parent

Fragster: Well, you are in the playoffs now. Your goal is to win this tournament – who will be your biggest opponent?
Cypher: Two guys – k1llsen and Av3k. They seem very tough to me.

Fragster: You do not think that Cooler is good enough to beat you?
Cypher: No.

Ouch.

<3 k1llsen

image: railgun_3d

fuckit, missed cooller k1llsen, vod anyone?

esl is slow with vods, it can take days for them to upload :/

Parent

bleh :/

who won?

Parent

cooller

Parent

FOR FUCK SAKE WAS COOLLER VS KILLSEN GOOD?!? I couldn't watch it =(

it was awesome

Parent

Give me a match report duumed! You are the only good form of coverage for me right now :D

Parent

vertical vengeance: cooller outplays and outaims k1llsen. k1llsen didn't have a rail in the first 3 mins or so and when he finally got he still couldn't do much damage while cooller hit some amazing rails and a couple of air-rockets

blood run: k1llsen starts hitting his rails and really just outaims cooller

dismemberment: very even game until the last moments. k1llsen one frag behind and catches cooller with 20 secs to go or so. however cooller gets the frag and survives the fight with 1 hp

furious heights: again very even game. cooller in control for 8 minutes and 2-frag lead until k1llsen quickly ties the game. in overtime killsen goes to lead 20 seconds in. cooller ties the game with 40 seconds to go and afterwards takes the lead with an amazing lg+rail combo. killsen can't come back and cooller eventually wins by 2 frags

Parent

Well I might be VODing that on Monday! :D thanks for the report :O)

Parent

av3k - fazz demos: http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/kiev/quakelive/playoffs/match/21237155

cooller - k1llsen demos: http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/kiev/quakelive/playoffs/match/21237154

16-8 navi vs fnatic (1st map)

Anybody know what the score in NAVI vs FNATIC was?!? And if it was a good game or not? Epic rivalry and that :D

not over yet, navi won dust2 16-8, fnatic won inferno 16-9, third map (train) just beginning

Parent

fnatic raped on train :< 2-1 fnatic

Parent

second map was back and forth, but decider was clear victory for fnatic

Parent

NaVi vs FragX on HLTV?! This sucks!

av3k :O)

strenx :O)

admins screwing up strenx vs cooller

massive shitstorm coming up

Parent

Great moment for own3d to fuck up.
So what happened?

Cooller won I guess?

the match was paused when stream died, dunno if they started playing

Parent

I smell the Russian mafia dealing with this!

Parent

Indeed :/

Parent

epic shit:)

hoping for major flamewar

haha me2 =)

Parent

what happened?

Parent

Strenx was winning 5-1 (iirc) with like 5 mins left and then they started lagging.
There was no admin to pause to game (he was on the server but afk I assume) and neither strenx nor cooller paused.
The game was completely random now with those lags and cooller made his comeback.
With 27 secs left the admin finally paused and it was 6-5 in favour of cooller.

Parent

stream online (full power failure lol), btw they both had lags, so easy decision ;]

doesn't mean shit. It made the match totally random

Parent

btw if admins did a pause like instant after lags has started could they change server according to the rules? would't it change the whole game?

Parent

no to the 1st or 2nd or both parts? :P

(if you ment it wouldn't change the game, how should they do the trick, to make it fair (same hp/armor/spawns)? assuming that they couldn't use that particular server.)

Parent

no for the 2nd part. They would have given strenx his lead and they would have played the remaining minutes.

Parent

ok ;-)

edit: oh, they're gonna recreate the whole situation D:

Parent

not an easy decission as the admin fucked up, he should've paused instantly, I wouldn't want to be in his position right now

Parent

That's what I thought until I realised that they can pause themselves.

Parent

Missing alot of games due to exams. Too bad they are so slow with uploading vod's this time :(
Last lan I could catch up by the time the grand final had to be played

ROFL

wow, the ending of cooller vs strenx :P
it was unbelivable

COOLLER

That was epic :D

so when is the bronze final?

After this sc2 semi I've heard

Parent

They moved it forward I guess.

Trance:

Quote the bronze final between Cypher and strenx will be played in the next 5-10 minutes.

www.levelupyourgame.net/esl

http://www.own3d.tv/live/5093

Parent

actually it seems they are starting in 5-10 minutes :D

Parent

so strenx finally made a chance at the finals but got raped by the admin? awesome.

nop, fucked it up himself

Parent

bad luck i will say coz admin have lags to or something.

Parent

damn cs final takes forever :S

Has av3k smashed cooller yet? :O)

Parent

ufffff, end of cs, now time for QL & then SC2 :D

Parent

Tarson 4ty ;[

Parent

Who won the cs??

fnatic

Parent

Really decent game actually, had it on in the background.

Parent

Who won the third place match on quake ?

Parent

strenx

Parent

Parent

This is worth to be called a tournament. Even if I were 10th I wouldn't really mind because cash prizes are really awesome.

is there any replay of quakelive final?

You can download some demos over here but I expect the VODs to be up in a few days.

Parent

Was a great tournament with drama and epic shiat going on. It had a perfect end as well :)

The 1.6 final was soooo good, best final ever imo, gz Fnatic :)
