Yes and for some reason a lot of ppl play this over their mics in TF2.

Really poorly setup imo, i check it out earlier and only 1 person was on and they wouldn't play, so htf am I supposed to get 'points' to get into the bracket? Really stupid.

ITS OVER 9000!!@@!@!@!

You're as old as me for knowing this boring song!

what? hell no!!

i don't get the joke.

now we have spam threads
nice

what did they win? PCs or money??

edit: and on that note, will they even ship the pcs outside of the US??

Ye these Cyberpower prizes are computers. I dunno the details about the shipping tho.

Updated the outdated leaderboard link :]

rofl

waiting for new threads about not receiving prizes .. :D

haha, tournaments skill level must have been high since torzelan made it to top3 :D won him one day like 30-2 or something and i am sooo bad in quake :D

[edit] and if prices are for real its very sad that they went to some newbs instead of pros who would deserve em...

[edit2] prices arent delivered to europe, atleast so it says in their page :D

why is it sad? why do they deserve them more?

the pros have won enough, you think someone like cooller would deserve the prize even though he cba to prac

because they have put such a lot effort in it or they have amazing talent, the winners of this tourney were just like anyone else, any of us can get to skill level in which they are without even big effort..

i have no desire to try & fail at being as good as weird

the fact is this tournament was posted on esr, pros would have seen it & decided they cba because the prizes are probably fake so fuck it. if it proves legit then its their own cynical faults

Explain Dahang, Chance, and Boots being removed then. Those were the only 'pros' who entered, and Destructoid made up bullshit to get them removed from the tournament so their shitty casual players can win something.

Destructoid is a bunch of fucking idiots who don't even know how to run a tournament (The COD4 tournament they're running is worse then the QL one). Even Dtoid staff were PLAYING IN THE TOURNAMENT.

i didnt pay attention to this tournie & im not their spokeman

chance probably accused a destructoid member of hacking based on 1 rail

They've yet to prove or show ANYTHING that Chance and Dahang did that. They basically made up shit to give prizes to non-pro players.

weird is a non-player?

who gives a shit. think of it as them having their comeuppance

basically they just wanted non-us players to win so they dont have to deliver prizes

Both Weird and TorZelan are pro players, except Torz ain't pro in Quake.

Dahang and Chance were disqualified for playing the same people 10x over to try and get more wins than everyone else and get the best seed in the bracket final. There is a statement about it on Destructoid's website.

You could have brought up Gillz' comment on their website about it as well for more fun.

Was this explicitly forbidden in this shitty ass tournament?

What they did remained within the bounds of the rules, everyone on top refused to play chance and dahang. I believe chance was able to play weird one game which he won convincingly. Unfortunately with the rule set that was stated, refusing games was quite easy to do without being detected by admins.

To level the playing field, and allow chance the opportunity to make it into the playoffs, I signed up and played him several times. These games were all legit and I lost all of them. Mind you this was probably a much more difficult way for chance to get into the top 6 as opposed to playing a bunch of casuals over and over. The admins failed to see that this was in no way a violation of rules and decided to make up rules after the final day of play. They blacklisted me and removed all the games I played without consulting me or any other players.

Yeah I can see where everything went wrong in this then.. pretty fucking stupid of destructoid...

Obviously no one any good would want to play those 2 and with the ability to refuse, 0 games for chance and dahang. laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

You rock xou for someone from france!

dont fuck with chibsquad: http://www.destructoid.com/friday-night-fight...8397.phtml

hes in marketing on the corporate level!

fucking corporate..

You do realize that he's the owner of EG, right? They're arguably the biggest and most successful NA organisation. And yeah, you could call that a corporation.

i did not realise nor do i care. you say organisation but theyre a clan, and a shit one at that

i guess that explains his lolable threats, maybe hes chances dad too

A shit clan? Sure, since EG is #8 in the world for CS rankings, they have Grubby, the best WC3 player in e-sports, Happy, plus excellent Quake players.

Either you're a fucking moron or an awful troll.

1. #8 doesn't mean much in the current climate as prize money has shrunk. also #8 doesn't mean theyre the 8th best team in the world. the only reason they're so high is the likes of wnv & other teams from countries like china dont compete in many tournies besides eswc etc. and you didnt even link to this #8 rankings table

2. grubby will be swayed by some euro clan offering better ncentives eventually

3. who are these excellent quake players?

get off their dick like youre on their payroll

lol fag..

You forgot Ecstacy.

it's an esports team, fgs.

it's child's play compared to what actual corporations do.

So fucking sick of QL already.

Strangest competition ever in Quake history :D

lol

Weeks back someone showed me how they were playing their own accounts to get wins. Personally I don't care because it's a video game. And they're arguing over a computer supposedly worth a month's salary in the "real world", Even if they really were playing family members(? or w/e they did) they should have known it would look shady as fuck, so I don't have any pity for them.

Even more hilarious is when people start throwing around ridiculous threats in their defense.

"only" a month's salary lol, you like working or? i'd like to get double pay for a month yeah

I love working

born 2 be slave

so this was a tourney of one semi pro vs beginners? =D I don't think anyone knew about this :o)

this news was psoted on esr, so everyone could see that the tournament was running
its just that the system was so fucked up that nobody wanted to play for prizes he may or may not receive

guess i missed it then ;p - so destruktoid aren't likely to pay them? that's shit :(

well the site seems legit. but im not sure about the company providing the prizes
and shipping to the eu is another problem

:[

they knew about it, was even posted here with all capital letters and made fun of (this very news post which is just bumped), but everyone was too busy talking shit then as they are now, true esr style

so funny to see all nerds here think they decide how anything with prizes "should" be run and instead of adapting and doing what they have to to win, they sit here and weep on their keyboards

love the conspiracy theories though, such a joke... get off EG's dicks gillz jesus christ

Talking shit 4chan style is so much better than talking shit ESR style! You're calling people nerds on a website that you don't visit, in an attempt to defend the outcome of a poorly run casual video game tournament.

Maybe you would benefit from a feature like this.

ahaha, great comic strip

there are many great ones from xkcd. That's why I arranged my favorites for a poster and stayed a little later at work to "test" our plotter :D Already had some friends asking me to work longer again.

Could upload if you or anyone is interested. Dunno about copyright violation, though.

hmm, i usually take a look at the ones that reach the frontpage of digg, but i dont like most of them tbh. only some are really funny. a bit like cyanide and happiness, msot of the comics are crap, but some of them are absolutely great
would definitely like to see your best of though

k.

this is .jpg if someone wants to print it, I have a bigger tif.

Pft, all of cyanide & happiness is teh funny!

Dang nerds. You sure told us.

Look where it got the players that took this shit seriously. Get off of destructoid's dicks and shut the fuck up.

as far as I can tell some people did adapt and did what they had to to win and what was in the rules.

It got them banned.

gratz weird, results of the finals?

What finals?

wb final vs gandhi was 20 - 7 (actually was a nice match for the first 7 min or so...really close untill I caught him off guard and got him off of the spawn a couple of times ;))
and grand final was also vs gandhi and ended 19 - 2... where I basicly had control for most of the game.
and yes it was bo1...

thx dude :)

gratz

wait... WAT?!

*bump*
