They're just a bunch of lazy cunts, is all.

Seeds are good, but this is my version:

Seed #1

Sweden
Russia
France
Poland

Seed #2

United Kingdom
Austria
Iceland
Hungary

Seed #3

Germany
Italy
Finland
Netherlands

Seed #4

Serbia
Czech Republic
Denmark
Ukraine

Seed #5

Slovakia
Spain
Norway
Slovenia

Seed #6

Croatia
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Portugal
Lithuania

P.S. Slovenia must be higher seed if they will call Yuka :)

P.P.S. FOR MOTHER RUSSIA! :)

Although Iceland have a much stronger team then last season, they haven't proven anything, so I think the Netherlands deserve their spot. I agree with Hungary in the 2nd pool though (and thus Italy in 3rd pool).
Any idea what Russia's main lineup will be? Or is it likely to change every game?

We have the same lineup mister. Me reynir linkoo diddy/paradox/serak , looking forward for this hf

Hm yes, but don't you think your team can do way more damage now? You & linkoo made huge improvements in 1on1, so my guess is you apply it in tdm as well. Looking forward indeed, I'll be cheering for Iceland for sure! You think you can place 2nd in your group?

We've played alot of tdm, and playing in the nationcup is a tickle for our balls so we'll aim for the #1 ofcourse.

Tickle my balls.

Why does the horseman kill the poor lindworm? :(

\o/

not bad :)

Haha,
Go noctis! If by any chance Russia is out, I'll support Austria.

austria will win anyway! :)

go france!

no eSStonia \o

Are you half happy with that, or what?
I'd love to see Estonia in NC, too bad it's not there :(

yep 1 out of 50 ppl know quake or play it in our microscopic country :( (this fact is created by me, it probably aint even close to real statistics)

haha what a joke lineup of sweden but i guess there are no good ppl left that are playing TDM
//HazteR

woot? What about zyv?

..is not in the lineup

i know, why u comment it?

because he commented on swedens weak lineup and you mention zyv

"but i guess there are no good ppl left that are playing TDM"

i think ru8 should represent Sweden, but when they happen to dominate then a conflict will occur, because then the winner either be Russia or Sweden... and finnaly it will lead to a new war between Sweden and Russia without Danes and Poles this time... the war will last long untill they agree that they share the victory over Quake tourney which leads to new alliance creating a country called Swedussia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1! i have alot of free time on my hands, Happy new year!

tried drugs for 1st time?

Nope, just the internet

TDM! \o/
Sweden \o/
Russia :o

TDM \o/
Russia \o/
Sweden :c

Well at least we agree on TDM! :)

France? \o/ ?

suck it

GROUPS HERE

I'm probably completely out of date on European TDM but isn't Group D going to be a huge tossup?

Well you are completely out of date mate, but the worst stuff is, the the guys at levelup are too. I mean you guys should start only shoutcasting a Nations Cup when you have already learned the countries of Europe.

I would say seedings arent correct either, how can you seed higher NL- a team we have beaten in the last Nations Cup? In seed nr. 2 only UK might be better with its best lineup than Hungary.

Summa summarum: we are looking forward to prove how average we are. ;)

gl, hope you guys can take 2nd place at least!

We did the groups based on seeds making sure that all;

#1 seeds are in different groups
#2 seeds are in different groups
#3 seeds are in different groups
#4 seeds are in different groups
#5 seeds are in different groups
#6 seeds are in different groups

Not forgetting that NL isn't actually seeded higher than you, they are in the SAME second tier of seeds. Do you beat any of the 1st seeds regularly? You being in the second tier of seeds seems quite accurate, although in my oppinion you might be able to get 4th. Although actually, looking at the groups, you do (as you accept) have the easiest group, so that would actually portray with you being better than .NL - so why are you whining?!

So i guess what i'm saying is, what has shoutcasting got to do with the countries? We could have just done it based on our own oppinions - and then yes perhaps the groups could have been a little different... but what fun is that?

Our job was to draw the seeds out of the hat, which we did fine. I'm sorry if i wasn't playing quake 3 arena 10 years ago and thus do not know everyone, i'm also sorry if i don't have fifteen monitors so i could have all of those details up regarding every player of every country on each of the 15 screens.

So please, if you are going to flame us... atleast make sure you have some justified reasoning behind what you are saying. I do this in my spare time for people like you, i get nothing out of it.

We thought it would cool to do it on live stream, with all the mistakes that come with it. If that's a problem for you, please feel free to do it yourself, or buy us all a world map and pin point the locations of every player from every nation on it, along with the history of each of those players using post-it notes detailing achievements, past teams, and hobbies when not gaming.

But thanks for the feedback anyway, you can be assured that my knowledge on TDM will be quite adequate when actually covering the games - which to be quite honest with you, is all that actually matters.

I am not whining and flaming at all. We were seeded in the 3rd seed. Its quite inaccurate, and yes I agree group D seems to be the easiest.

NL managed to beat team Poland B, so they've advanced from our group. They were seeded in the 2nd seed-higher than Hungary.

And yes, I see some conflict betwheen your statements. "you can be assured that my knowledge on TDM will be quite adequate when actually covering the games " and "I'm sorry if i wasn't playing quake 3 arena 10 years ago and thus do not know everyone".

And well I am just telling my opinion and suggesting you things, and giving you a new point of view. Feel free to ask me about European countries, culture, or quake achievements in the future. ;)

EU countries

"We were seeded in the 3rd seed" - no, you are in the 2nd seed, and you are considered the same level as teams such as UK & NL.. who are also seeded in the 2nd tier, as a group, for this draw.

My knowledge in TDM has nothing to do with whether i know individual players or not. Are you trying to tell me that i need to have played Q3 TDM for 10 years to understand the game? Just because i don't know some player who hasn't shown himself to be good in the last 2 years, doesn't mean shit. I know the active players now, and i know who is currently good.

In the end, what i'm trying to say is; i know the bigger names and i know who is currently good, i also know how to play tdm... i'm sorry if i do not know every single player but if they play well in this NC, they will still get mentioned as such on stream for doing so.

according to this very news post they are in the third seed pool...

yeh ok you all win, for some reason i just assumed he was Italian, not sure why.

np

this changes my view completely anyway but i won't start a flame war

what country is est H onia mmmmm

uksz verb inz kerta hardly B team..

oh come on, they all has been inactive and hasnt even play together so it was an easy piece of cake. Its not an indicator.

and we did , oh right :)

you might have beaten us then, but we played with poorly lineup then vs you, with our better lineup we managed to get out the group by beating Poland, and you didnt :)

True and almost everybody of the team never played cpma/vq3 active. But in ql we are so we will see :)

hardly a tinypic =(

omg germany might fail in the group stage :(

finland gona own

group 1 is k1ller!!

omg you so stupid these are seeds! AHAHA

Some speculations about seeds always occur, but the tourney shows, that we are mostly right...

actualy we cant make perfect seeds because this is first nations cup in Quake Live and we will se after this year...

meh, Serbia in the group of death :(

i know, right
