Wow!

Sponsorship, quake.. I doubt it. But I guess weirder things have happened.

reason sponsoring a tf2 team, everything can happen

Also it kinda tilts me to donate money after last year's fiasco.. What's the point of sending people over if you can watch 5% of the games in a cramped up schedule? Meh

Yeah that too.. It's Quakecon after all.

Damn , thats a lot of aim ))) gl

that cypher smile

team cypher don't care

interesting!

wow!

strenx!

clawz, silencep!

niiiiiicccccccccccceeeeeeeeee

Nice, didn't expect to see Strenx at QuakeCon this year but I guess he took a clan. Also kinda hyped for Clawz, especially after today's performance.


edit : Just noticed 2GD donated over $1K to Team Averagers. Crazy guy!

2 G D

am I the only 1 who thinks this team's gonna flop? that being said, for the first time in 100,000 yrs qcon got announced 3 months before the actual event so who knows how far these 4 can take their skillset in 3 months and then bring it to lan vs +back maricons

funny but I think strenx is the weakest link here regarding team modes!

Strenx at least has experience in high level tdm and ctf. Cypher and clawz have none that I know of D:

Cypher and strenx got 3rd place at Quakecon 2011 TDM with BallerSsS.

I can't remember when strenx played CTF, though. Not at Quakecon, and not at The Party. So probably never on LAN?

Cypher don't care at last qcon :D

Oh, you're right. It was a mix-team that didn't practice before Quakecon and they didn't beat any top-tier teams so I forgot about them. I'm not sure if it counts. ;)

Me neither :D

strenx was fnatic ctf 2009ish i cant remember exactly.

Well I wouldn't really count those quakecon funteams towards tdm experience. Strenx was in actual active ctf teams (k1ck, fnatic) and also played tdm with fnatic. At quakecons he was always carrying his teams.

Well I wouldn't really count those quakecon funteams towards tdm experience.

I just watched a Quakecon TDM VOD and 2gd emphasized how surprised he was to see that cypher appeared to make all the right decisions in his matches. Just a little anecdote. I do think that cypher can be a really good TDM player.

Strenx was in actual active ctf teams (k1ck, fnatic) and also played tdm with fnatic.

I think I missed that CTF period. Did they win anything? I know that he was pretty active in TDM for like 1-2 years.

At quakecons he was always carrying his teams.

What do you mean "always"?

In 2014, he played in a mixteam with an unknown player from NA and Doomsday from Argentinia. Even if he carried that team, it doesn't mean much.

In 2011, he played in a team with cooller/draven/cypher. In this team, draven played awesome (top damage against ufx), cooller is not the type of player that usually needs to be carried in TDM (+3.7k net damage against Salivating Monstahz), and as I said above, cypher did an amazing job too (according to 2gd's analysis).

EDIT:
So while I agree that strenx was an all-around awesome player (duel/TDM/CTF) in 2009/2010/2011, I don't think he can do anything that cypher can't do (at least in TDM). We're yet to see cypher play CTF.

The 4th player on his CTF team in 2014 was cod47 from Argentina, not 'an unknown player from NA'. cod47/doomsday were carrying that team hard. cod47 was also hands down the best CTF player on that team.

You're right. That was a mistake about cod47. Apologies for that.

In this match against Die14, strenx had a K/D of 86/33 and cypher had 48/12.

Cod47 had a K/D of 34/55.

Doesn't look like "carrying that team hard" and "the best CTF player on that team" to me. Do you have some evidence to support your claim?

My evidence is that I was sitting behind them and listening to cod direct his teammates each map, as well as outcap them both. I'm glad you brought up KDA's though, as this just further proves that you guys arguing all these individually talented players coming together means that they will be or are a good team- have no idea what you're talking about.

CTF is hardly about KDA- the only thing that matters is caps. Plenty of the top CTF players from Q3 and even QL (myself included) would consistently post negative nets in matches while outcaping the enemy team 3-1.

EDIT: I don't feel like watching this link but it was either this map or the other one where cod got holyshitted at his flag and strenx (or cypher, not sure) picked it up for their (only) cap.

EDIT2: The players on Red, with the exception of trex (who is marginally better), are newb-garden sub 1300 ELO(exaggeration but you get the idea) can-barely-strafe-jump type players. It is literally physically impossible for them to connect to servers that any above average to pro players play on as the game limits players of lower skill level connecting to higher skill level servers.

The fact that they even let up a single cap AND didn't even reach the cap limit is embarrassing.

Ok, I obviously drew some premature conclusions from the scoreboard. Thanks for putting things into perspective.

From watching a few minutes of gameplay, it does appear like both strenx and cypher played pretty bad CTF. As you have pointed out in your post below, especially strenx having 86 frags as an attacker but only getting 1 cap makes it look like he didn't know what he was doing.

I initially didn't say that strenx/cypher were better than the Argentinian players. I said that it doesn't even matter, because they obviously didn't practice with them, so it's not indicative of how well they could possibly play CTF once fully integrated into a team and having learnt how to play in a team.

Say that to my face you piece of shit.

It is literally physically impossible for them to connect to servers that any above average to pro players play on as the game limits players of lower skill level connecting to higher skill level servers.

The fact that I'm not a pro CTF player or part of the elite NA pug club doesn't give you free license to spout on nonsense that is patently false.

My CTF elo is only 100 below yours and I started playing Quake in 2009 with zero previous experience. How long have you played for? I'll freely admit that you're better than me, but that doesn't mean you get to talk shit about people and things you don't know. Honestly you need to check your attitude because that mentality is part of the reason why this game is dying.

This mentality is even part of the reason why USA is no longer the first economical power in the world and has started to degenerate so much in every aspect that makes a nation despite having so much domestic resources and opportunities.

The other part is having most of the population believing in ghost and still finishing every presidential intervention by "God bless America".

lol m8

I touched on this in my primary response but just an FYI typically if players have more than.. oh I would say- a 2-1 KDA in CTF they are actually hurting the team/not playing optimally (unless they are defense- which strenx was not). This however is completely untrue given how their opponents could barely strafe jump and probably still used mouse-wheel to change guns.

probably still used mouse-wheel to change guns

Touchy subject

Yes Ze Demon may have something to ROARR about this!!!

I always have tried to find original ways to give myself a handicap so to not hurt feelings of my ctf comrades.

Hey demon i love watching play. You make good use of that mouse wheel. Rarely see you switch to something u didnt want too? ? I think if you had more lan tournaments to play and you wouldn't get discouraged so quickly like online.

He also played a lot of CTF pickups in Q3, so he kinda knows what to do, where, when and why.

Clawz is a fucking amazing ctf'er, old nick dragoniz, him and silencep will carry ctf. He's aso pretty fucking good at tdm too :D

Yes I'm sure sure playing some ctfpickup has prepared him well for the quakecon competition... lol

He's played ctf since he was 6, that's been his only mode until last year lal, 8 years in a row playing ctf, i'm sure he'll carry the ctf :D

Yes because public ctf is totally the same as competitive ctf.

Wait and see :D

If that's the standard, then how do you expect fazz and noctis to do at CTF?

According to QLranks, Clawz/dragoniz has 214 CTF matches. Fazz has 8, noctis has 33.

I'd say he has a significant head start, at the minimum.

edit: When playing against some of the best Russian CTF players he seems to be the clear MVP. Looks pretty good.

I don't expect them to carry the team. Ctf as a game mode allows you to accomodate inexperienced players because you usually have at least one or sometimes two positions that are very simple (holding mid on every map, home ra on some maps). You could easily teach any good player to play those positions to 90-95% perfection. Their lack of ctf knowledge would only really come into play in nonstandard situations when there is chaos going on on the map, the get a flag dropped etc. So with spart1e as def and dem0n as attacker at least they have the key positions filled and could challenge the top teams imo. Still the team would be much better with only one player who doesn't know ctf D:

That makes sense.

Summing it up:

Averagers has two amazing CTF players (spart1e, dem0n) and two beginners with the potential to play a limited role very well (noctis, fazz)

Strenx' team has one amazing CTF player (silencep), two already pretty good CTF players (strenx, clawz), and one beginner (cypher).

What will work better? I'm not sure we can actually predict this.

Silencep def, cypher mid, strenx&clawz off looks quite solid to me, as an example. I suppose they already have a decent plan.

(We have the uncertainty of not knowing where exactly clawz is on the spectrum from "pretty good" to "amazing", but it seems like he might already be closer to "amazing" than to "pretty good".)

this one is pretty ridiculous too: link

ofc its just damage but its not easy to do that much against the players in enemy team


edit: lol

Judging from this, clawz is a fucking monster. Hopefully we'll see him at Quakecon. Then we'll know for sure.

And hahahaha, 102 have a long and hard way ahead of them. I'm looking forward to seeing how good they can get. ;)

HOT FUCKING DAMN SON

Wasn't even thinking of donating to this team because:
lol strenx - however didn't know he has tdm experience
lol clawz - however, holy FUCK look at those games son, kid is nuts at ctf

so now I am thinking that this team with a lot of practice can win some shit

Yea I watched clawz a bit in one ctf game and his aim was spot on at least, had a good sense of what to do in game too.

Strenx however, I remain dubious about. No offense to him he improved his duel game leaps since his "all lg no brain" beginning but in ctf pickups etc, whenever I watched him he was at the wrong place at the wrong time constantly and his big dmg dealing capabilities were mostly wasted.

Tdm I dunno but my guess is this team will have a bigger claim in that!.

Yea that's him :D

Just one of possibly many counterarguments: In the Quakecon 2011 3rd place match against ufx, Strenx had +20 NET on Purgatory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3O-QzyXjSo#t=42m55s)

Of course, 2011 was the prime of strenx' career where he got 2nd place in the duel tournament. He would probably need to play a lot to get to that level again.

Funny how the Americans are shit until it comes time to prove a point to someone.

Please point me to where I said that you were a shit TDM team. You are putting words in my mouth.

Here I said that a team like ufx would be one of the few teams that would have a chance of beating an European dream TDM team consisting of winz/linkin/tox/noctis.

In any case, his +20 NET is indicative of his performance relative to his team mates. That's what the discussion here is about. This isn't a NA vs EU discussion.

Wasn't directed at you in general, and sorry if you've never said that but plenty have (don't feel like scowering the countless TDM threads leading up to DH and QCON, you can if you'd like you seem to enjoy that sort of thing). Just find it interesting that one of you would use it as a baseline of judgement for performance. I don't feel like

You won a map against Salivating Monstahz. I doubt anyone who saw this later called you shit.

You, however, have given the impression that you consider the European CTF scene shit because no EU CTF team has won at Quakecon in a while.

Considering the immense struggles you have had beating fnatic/unkown in 2009, 2010, and 2014, that doesn't seem to be a fair judgment.

"immense struggles" is a highly subjective way of putting it. We won, they lost- not sure there is any other way of looking at it.

That's just needlessly simplistic and arrogant; and you know it.

Against fnatic in 2009, EG scored the 2:2 cap on ironworks in the 19th minute. They then won in overtime during a cross-cap situation. That's just one example of how close it was, I'm sure you'll find plenty more.

edit: You didn't even play in 2009 and 2010, so I doubt you have the authority on judging how hard it was.

edit2: Need I remind you: In 2014 your team welp lost 3 out of 5 maps against Unknown. So I'm assuming it was a cake-walk?

no l1nkje, no lifeline

He played in 2009, 2010, and 2014. What's your point?

My point is that it was close ("2:2 cap on ironworks in the 19th") when they had l1nkje on att.
without him neither of these .eu teams is gonna touch the americans in CTF

replacing strenx or fazz with l1nkje could have been interesting though

Just a few hours ago you complained about your team being called shit at TDM even though you had close matches. Now you're practically doing the same to the European CTF teams.

It's this sort of hypocrisy that makes you sound equally ignorant and arrogant.

good eu vs na ctf games will never be anything short of a struggle. thats just good ctf at a high level...it doesn't mean anything other than that. if ukn or fnatic won, it wouldn't have been a cake walk for them either.

The games will almost always be super close, especially when it comes down to $$.

Thanks for replying and I agree. Acknowledging that you and your opponent equally contributed to a competitive match is just basic sportsmanship.

I know this is the internet, but it's still strange to see veterans within the scene behave differently. I don't see the point in that.

Team roboaimz!

Kinda feel sorry for Silencep having a bunch of duelers without TDM/CTF experience :D
Would rather see some expendables mix like silencep,abso,phoenx + some dueler which would be a threat in all modes instead of this 'team'. Cmon, strenx literally hasnt played for 2 years, why even bother :D

dont say harosh too soon (c) clawz

You dont seem to know clawz :D

kinda feel sorry for h8m3 not attending to Qcon'15

Wanna take his place in this team?)

cypher pic straight from the insane asylum days

It's from Adroits 2012

same thing

The topić says another EU team at qcon. But what if they don't find sponsor? Nor gather enough donations? Will they still go?

Good to hear that these guys are planning to go, but keep in mind that given the rules, only one of these four can participate in the duel stage.

It's possible that we could see a different, second player play duel from this team if they make it to the grand master duel finals, but do you really think that they'd select a player different from the one that got them to the grand master finals?

That probably means that we'll see Cypher, but not strenx or clawz, duel.

edit: thanks to FlashSoul for the correction--each team nominates one of their players per duel match, not one player for the entire duel portion

False. The team designates a player for each match, not a single player for the whole duel part of the tournament.

canadian fiiiight!!

Is there any reason to not designate Cypher for every duel match?

Most US players, for example, have no experience in playing clawz and probably would understimate him. Also there are probably some players who would do better against cypher than against lg whore like strenx

Most players worldwide have little to no answer to Cypher in Quakecon form.

I still wish they changed the rules (SC:BW format?) to have more than a single duel between two teams. In fact, having teams to decide who to send to what match would be quite interesting.

ACE GAME fuckyeah

Use your all-around awesomeness to push Sync's buttons. It's a minor change in terms of influencing the schedule and tournament structure but makes it way more interesting. I know there are lots of people who want nothing else but this precise change in the rules.

He doesn't feel like changing it now would be fair towards teams that have already formed and booked their trips as they might have otherwise formed different teams (I guess that only really applies to rapha and dahang anyway but what do i know).

Can't he just ask the few teams that would be affected if they are okay with a few small changes? From what I've heard none of the players are completely happy with the format. How about starting a petition?

How about making the triathlon's duel stage Bo5 for example? That would be a minor change which shouldn't affect anyone in their decision how to form a team. It's ridiculous that it's supposed to be Bo3.

O.o a bo5 tournament? Has that ever been a thing?

It won't affect the decisions on how to forma team, certainly. But you do realize it would have a significant impact on the tournament's duration, right? Even if it's just duel.

Note that this won't be a groupstage + double elimination duel tournament. It will be a Swiss tournament system. It should have considerably fewer match rounds.

Let's assume that there will be 8 teams. There will be at least 8 PCs available, so all matches within one round can be played simultaneously. Then there's a maximum of 7 match rounds to be played. Syncerror has already tried out the Swiss system with 4 rounds, so there might only be that many.

Each round has 3 maps, i.e. 30 minutes of match time. So if they have the matches played simultaneously, the actually required match time for duel is: 4 * 30 minutes = 120 minutes.

This makes it painfully obvious how much of a joke the currently planned duel stage actually is. It can be done in 2 hours.

Increasing it to a Bo5 would not be time-consuming. If they want to, they can still be done in 4 * 50 minutes = 200 minutes.

You also have to look at it from a different perspective. Let's compare how long each of the three modes will take.

The way I understand it, the number of matches played in TDM, CTF, and duel will be the same.* That's because all three modes are supposed to use the same Swiss system.

CTF and TDM matches are 20 minutes, duel matches are 10 minutes. But it's Bo3 in all three modes.

So currently, CTF and TDM will each be played twice as long as duel. Why would we want that?

If duel was Bo5, it should take roughly as much time as the other modes. It just makes sense.

* edit: Because TDM and CTF need more PCs, fewer matches can be played simultaneously. This will make them take even longer.

Since it also takes more time for 8 players to get ready than for 2 players, CTF and TDM will each take more than twice as long as duel. Why would we want that?

It's not a competition between duel and the other modes. Why is it important that one gametype's branch is shorter? The different parts of the tournament certainly won't be played simultaneously so it all adds up in the end. If you make a part longer, even if it's just to make it so it lasts as long as the other parts, you end up making the whole tournament longer.

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't know the schedule in advance. I'm not saying it can't be done either. It might be possible to fit that in the tournament without reducing the number of rounds. I'm just saying it has an effect. Oh and also that since we don't know, it's stupid to say either option is "ridiculous".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra useless info vaguely related to the question :
There are four Bo3 rounds for each tournament. Let's assume a new round isn't played until the previous one hasn't ended. If we consider a Bo3 to be a Bernoulli trial with 25% (stats taken from last year's CTF tournament) probability of success (to reach 3 matches) and all matches in a round to be independent, then the probability one of them reaches 3 matches is ~90%. The probability for all 4 rounds to each need a duration sufficient for 3 matches to be played is ~66% which is significant enough to be considered and planned for in the schedule. This is important to me since I assume that the different parts of the tournament will have their own starting time determined ahead of time.
TDM :
estimated average match duration : 20 minutes
Planned duration : 20*3*4 = 4 hours without accounting for warmup or unexpected events

CTF :
estimated average match duration : 20 minutes
Planned duration : 20*3*4 = 4 hours without accounting for warmup or unexpected events

Duel :
estimated average match duration : 10 minutes
Planned duration : 10*3*4 = 2 hours without accounting for warmup or unexpected events

All participants must check-in to the tournament area by Thursday, July 23rd at 10:00am

I would expect the first tournament division to start by 1 pm, after the Player Meeting and dinner. The schedule feels right for it to be a team division, either TDM or CTF. Then everyone eats again. The evening would have either the duel division or nothing. I suspect the former. The following morning could be dedicated to the remaining team division. This leaves the afternoon of the 24th and almost all of the 25th for ???. Enough room for a yet to be announced Doom 4 tournament or something.

It's not a competition between duel and the other modes. Why is it important that one gametype's branch is shorter?

All three modes are equally important for the overall triathlon. I find it illogical that one of the modes is deliberately played half as long as the others.

Other than that, it will reduce the randomness of the duel competition if it's Bo5. So that would be a big plus.

Your calculations are the same as mine, so I don't see your point. TDM and CTF are designed to take at least twice as long as duel. And that's the most optimistic case which neglects that (a) they would need at least 32 PCs [assuming there will only be 8 teams], and (b) there will surely be more delays in TDM/CTF than in duel.

I just think it's poorly thought through. Duel can be played in 3 hours including delays, but TDM and CTF need to be played on 32 PCs simultaneously in order to even have a chance of taking 6-8 hours with delays. That's kind of a mess and sounds like a recipe for disaster, don't you agree?

I strongly doubt there will only be 8 teams. With 16 teams, they need 64 PCs for all players to play simultaneously. That doesn't sound like a problem to me though. QuakeCon is a big organization and they'll be needing those computers anyway if there's another tournament (which I really feel will happen, for reasons). If they don't have them, CTF/TDM will take twice as long; minimum 8 hours each.

Yes, 8 teams was an estimation on the conservative end. I don't know how encouraging or discouraging the tournament format is for American teams, especially for those below the top 4.

QuakeCon is a big organization and they'll be needing those computers anyway if there's another tournament (which I really feel will happen, for reasons).

What kind of tournament would they need 64 PCs for? Did they ever hold a tournament with that many PCs?

I suppose we'll see how it works out. Right now I feel like 90% of the duration will likely be spent on TDM/CTF, and 10% on duel. Seeing that duel is equally important for the triathlon, that would be disappointing.

I don't think anybody would underestimate clawz at quakecon if he was put forward ahead of cypher/strenx...overestimate maybe

"Most US players". The dueler for our team is going to be Rapha, the dueler for other US team is going to be DaHanG. Go ahead and designate clawz please.

I was under the impression that there will be more than 2 US teams. Ofc Rapha and Dahang are stronger players than Clawz

lol zing [+]

give clawz/strenx the ez matches so cypher is fresh for the important ones

! Thanks for the clarification, that's good news.

GL team cute guys & silencep

No homo, right?

Cypher -10 years hmmmm ;)

With all this talent showing up I'm even more bummed there isn't a real duel tournament this year. Looking forward to seeing Clawz aim on LAN though.

Jesus! That's a serious team! If they can play together half decently they could be favourites depending on the 102 line up. 4 very heavy hitters when it comes to dealing damage. What's surprising is the least famous of the 4 is probably the most dangerous in the damage dealing department - Silencep 8)

in what world is Silencep less famous than clawz o_O

I suppose I'm more into the duel side of things :)

Silencep duelling on DM6 = power

I remember him being no-aimer when we used to play ctf together :P
(not realy, he wasnt as good as now, but he was still a good player:)

It's amazing the number of people here who believe that 4 skilled players playing together = a good/very good team.

That's not even true for TDM and just completely false for CTF.

given enough practise, they have the potential to be just that.

so you're saying they might win Quakecon 2018? sure

well, I donated for Averagers, so I guesss I'll do the same for these lads.
Clawz on LAN, now that I'd love to see.

Great news! GL %teamname%!

i guess this only leaves evil to play with linkin and winz+some other dude (tox? killsen?)

I could see colwn attending - linkin, winz, tox, stermy

i c dead people (c)

tox and killsen are both duel player
Why would they go to qcon, play tdm and ctf just to help Evil participate in the duel modes?

Even I don't really want that, as I'd rather see tox and killsen play in the duel tournament as well.

Heck, I would even sponsor the whole trip for someone like killsen, if there would be any sane duel tournament at qcon.....but that whole Tri-Master idea just took the fun out of it.

In VQ3, tox was beastly in TDM with the Ice Climbers. He first "made his name" there before dominating in Q4 Duel.

Bring the fellah to QCON

Evil has 0 experience in game modes, hes a full time dueler AFAIK, its like Quakecon made this tourney specifically to fuck Evil (i said its like mmmkay?)

He used to play TDM with 102, but for a long long time he hasn't played any team modes, yeah. Doesn't help that he can't communicate in English either.

idd

AHHHHHHH Amazing news!

no more av3k i guess :(

strenx received community support before. i remember him training extremely hard, and performing exceptionally well at qcon 2014.

good proxy strenx

I can't help but think that effectively these players are going on vacation/experience and asking generous people to pay for them. At the very least, they should be putting in half the money themselves (or get a part time evening job - waiter? Maybe then will i consider donating.

Your sarcasm detector is off.

LOL

Whether intended or not this tournament format that Quakecon has come up with has generated some intense argument and controversy. Going to be an interesting Quakecon 2015.

Strenx shouldnt be part of this team, you have cypher for duels, arguably the best all around dueler in quake history. Get another good team player and that team becomes a contender in the team modes too. Id even say if they train really hard, only 102 on tdm would be competitive.

Strenx probably can flag def like a boss, though.

Flag def is often supposed to be the stacked PU runner, which is arguably the most difficult role and potentially deciding factor in CTF. So ...

Agree.
Kick strenx and take.. anybody that cares.

I agree completely! You would be better off thinking what event: duel, tdm, or ctf you REALLY have a strong chance at and aim to win 2 of those. Anything else is a bonus.

Then assemble your team around that. At the moment this lineup for CTF is not stronger than WHELP or 2014 finalists from QCon last year.

Replace strenx with phoenix or winz (if unknown are not attending and assuming they are available and what position you need).

winz would be cool, but maybe colwn is attending?

Strenx played pretty good tdm with metsu.

EVIL please :(

I think 102 has the best chances by far if they make it to QCON, they deserve this QCON TDM chance the most, since they've been putting so much effort to tdm for so long and showing awesome results.

But yh, who wouldnt want to see Cypher, strenx etc... there. But if i could put only 1 team there or donate to only one of them, it would be definitely 102, they are not something it was made yesterday.

Holy shit. They're for real.

Close match.

Purgatory seems to be their best map.

I sure hope it will be in the map pool. Limbus too.

It's interesting how only two players in the 8, one per team, had a positive net.

silencep is one of my favorite players to watch from quakecon 2014 and I wish his team all the best! Considering how aim oriented this team is about, the skill level and brain power will be even greater!

Hold up your end of the bargain strenx and you guys will go very far! The sky is the limit!
